Hey guys! Quick note: princesscrazy124 would appreciate it if you all would check out her story and review! Thanks! Oh, it's called I'm Sorry. :)
I don't own Austin & Ally
Austin's POV
Right now I'm the only one awake in the room, and that's just because I can't fall asleep. I wish they'd just let me see my wife and daughter. I mean, I should at least be considered Ally's 'family' here since I am her husband! But no, I'm just some stupid tag-a-long kid who's considered an extra.
"Austin, are you awake?"
I looked over to see Trish slouching against the wall opposite of the one I'm sitting against. Okay, apparently I'm not the only one awake, but it's just me and Trish.
"Trish? What are you still doing up?", I asked quietly. She still looked upset, so I crawled over to the wall where she was and sat beside her. "You okay?"
"I wanna go home", she sighed. I nodded.
"Me too"
"I mean, I even miss my annoying little brother. Don't get me wrong, this family is my family, and I love you guys with all my heart, but I still miss the rest of my family too", she said.
"I'm sorry Trish. You shouldn't even have been here. This is all my fault. I promised to protect my family, and I didn't. I just let them all slip away from me", I sighed. Trish turned to me, and there was something in her eye that I haven't seen in a while: determination.
"Austin Monica Moon, don't you dare say that about yourself! You're the one that brought this entire family together in the first place. Do you not know how much you mean to this family? You are the glue that holds this whole family together. To the whole family, you're the peanut butter to their jelly, the remote to the T.V., the syrup to their pancakes; you're it. Don't be so hard on yourself, because without you, there wouldn't even be a family here. And think about this, when you have so much to lose, you know there's a lot in your life worth caring about", Trish finished. I just stared at her in disbelief. I liked the pancake metaphor, but I didn't realize that's her perspective of our family. I still say it was Ella who brought our whole family together, but I know not to argue with Trish by now.
"Thanks Trish. Don't worry, we'll get you back home with your family", I promised her. She turned around and looked at me incredulously.
"Don't promise something if you don't really know the answer", she said. I sighed and put my arm around her. I feel bad for Trish. I mean, she's like a sister to me, and she just doesn't seem to be herself here. I miss the old Trish, but most of all I miss my whole family being safe and together. Suddenly, the door flies open, and we're met by the evil eyes of the Freemans. The door opening made everyone else jump awake.
"Out, now", Max commanded. We all just stared at them.
"Get out unless you want to lose the privilege of being with these people too", Tina said. I sighed and lead the way of my family as we followed those stupid Freemans out of the room.
Ally's POV
"Are you alright sweetie?", Penny asked when I returned from the bathroom. I didn't reply and just sat back in my seat, needing rest from this long day.
"Aunt Ally, Grandma asked you a question", Ella said, looking at me pointedly. She wouldn't have cared if it wasn't a question she wanted an answer to herself.
"I'm as good as can be expected", I muttered.
"That means you're okay right?", Penny asked. I just rolled my eyes.
"Of course it does Grandma. You missed Aunt Ally's teenage years, so you might be a little behind when it comes to sarcasm", Ella said. I just love my little girl so much. Penny was about to respond when the door suddenly swings open to reveal the infamous Freemans (minus Samantha) whom I just realized weren't in the room with us anymore.
"Everybody out", Tina said. Of course I was pushed into following everyone out of the room, but I made sure to stay as close as possible to Ella.
"Where are we going?", I whisper/asked Elliot. He had a shocked look on his face that I was actually talking to him and it wasn't something insulting.
"Uh…I-I don't know. W-Why are you talking to me?", he asked as he picked up my daughter.
"What? I can't talk to my brother?", I asked. I'm telling you, I don't think his eyes could get any bigger.
"Um, sure I guess. So, uh…you're having twins!", he said, trying to sound enthusiastic.
"Yeah, with my husband", I smirked.
"Oh, right. The singing dude right?", Elliot asked. I could see Ella cut Elliot a look that said 'Don't you dare start talking bad about my Daddy'.
"Yes…you did hear that my singing career is starting to take off right?", I asked and his eyes widened.
"Seriously? You got over your stage fright?", he asked smiling. I had to crack a small smile. There's my big brother.
"Yeah, Maddie and Aunt Ally wrote an awesome song", Ella said. I smiled at her a little.
"Well I'd love to hear it someday. What's it about?", Elliot asked.
"Uh, you", I muttered, hoping he couldn't hear me, but of course he did.
"Another one? Ally I'm so sorry. I don't know what I could ever do to make this up to you", Elliot said.
"Just keep doing what you're doing and we might just make our way back to that good old brother/sister relationship we used to have", I whispered in his ear.
"What do you-", he started, but I just shook my head at him. He doesn't need to know
"Shut up Elliot; now's not the time", I said, and he kept his mouth shut for the rest of the walk.
Maddie's POV
"Get out; now", Tina ordered. I rolled my eyes then smirked.
"Awe, is somebody frustrated?", I asked in a baby voice. Aiden kept poking me, begging me to cut it out, but I've already gotten on this train, and there's no way I'm turning back now. No more shy Maddie. No more taking the crap they put me through. I will not succumb to them this time.
"Awe, is someone going to lose another family member with that smart mouth of hers?", Tina retaliated. My eyes widened when she said 'another'.
"What do you mean by another?", I asked in my most dangerous voice.
"Hmm, well it appears that two members of your beloved family have mysteriously disappeared. Those poor kids won't be coming back any time soon", Tina said smirking evilly.
"Who?", I asked, my voice cracking slightly.
"Oh, it's no one important. Just that little brat you so generously gave that short pep talk to, and her kid brother", Max said. My blood ran cold. Not Kelsey and Toby! They had absolutely nothing to do with this!
"What did you do to them?", Aiden asked, suspecting I wouldn't be able to keep up my brave front if I said one more word.
"They aren't here! Get over it kid!", Max yelled, then roughly pushed MY little brother out of the room.
"Leave him alone!", I yelled, running over and helping Aiden up. I could see how badly he wanted to cry, but like always, he held it in so they wouldn't see.
"Shut up and move", Max said as he and Tina pushed us down the hall to wherever it is we were going.
Dez's POV
"Hey Bri-Bri", I said as the adorable baby girl woke up giggling. Okay, I may be a little more attached to her than I thought I'd be. She's just so cute! And I love Ella to death, but I never knew her as a baby, so this is all a new experience for me. I finally found a kid that doesn't know as much as me! To be fair, Ella is very smart for her age.
"Dezzy", an annoying voice said from outside. I really hate that name.
"Go away Brenda!", I yelled.
"Why should I?", she asked walking in the room. I rolled my eyes.
"I don't want you here", I yelled, and that's when Brianna started crying again. "And apparently Bri doesn't either"
"She's my baby and so are you!", Brenda yelled.
"We are never going to be your babies; either of us. Brianna is mine now, and I am not going to let you take her away", I said honestly. That's when I noticed her eyes darken, almost as if she had turned into a witch within seconds just looking through her eyes.
"Tina! Max! Get in here!", she yelled. Oh crap, what are they going to do to us!? I honestly don't care what they do to me, but they better not touch Bri. She's only been alive for a week and a half!
"Out", Tina demanded looking bored.
"Like I'd go anywhere with you", I scoffed.
"You don't have a choice", Max said appearing to Tina's right. I rolled my eyes.
"Why's that?", I asked getting bored.
"Because, unlike you idiots, we couldn't give a crap about your little 'family' and the people we eliminate", Max said. Oh no, I hope they haven't already hurt anyone! I'd just die if they did!
"Where are we going?", I asked, picking Brianna up and holding her close to me so they couldn't touch her.
"That's none of your business", Max said as I willingly walked out of the room. Yes, I said willingly. I don't want them to hurt my family!
Porter's POV
"Lys, are awake yet?", I asked my little sister who had been lying in my lap for like the past six hours, passed out. She wasn't literally passed out, but you know what I mean.
"Yeah, I've been up for two and a half hours", she said, not moving a muscle.
"Then why haven't you said anything…or moved?", I asked. I could feel her shrug.
"I don't feel like getting up. This is the most rest I've had in a really long time", she said, snuggling deeper into my lap.
"Lys, how long have they had you?", I asked.
"Do you mean how long have they had me here, or how long have they had me under their control?", she asked sighing.
"Uh, both?", I said, but it sounded more like a question, though I was afraid to hear the answer.
"They've had me here since you got assigned to Maddie. That was plain torture, but I've had to live through their terror since we started living with them. It was that day in fact", she told me. My eyes widened at her confession.
"Why didn't you tell me that when we first got there; we might've been able to get out!?", I asked. She just shook her head.
"We needed a place to stay, and we were already in too deep the second we got there. I saw them hurt a kid, and when they found out they threatened to do the same to us if I told anybody. I kept telling them that I didn't care what happened to me, but then they said they'd hurt you and…", she trailed off.
"Lys, you shouldn't have done that. I could've handled myself", I expressed.
"Porter, you were fourteen years old. There's no way you could've fought them off", she said shaking her head.
"Why didn't you just leave" I whispered. She shook her head.
"I deserved what I got. I didn't tell the police when they hurt that poor little kid, and I didn't even go to see if she was okay. I wanted to, but they stopped me and told me never to go near the other kids. They said I was just a worthless piece of trash, and the worst part was…I-I believed them", she said whispering the last part.
"Alyssa Scarlett West, don't you dare talk about yourself that way!", I exclaimed. I never knew she felt that way. I guess that proves how good of a brother I've been.
"I know it's not true now Port; you don't have to give me the lecture. I was a stupid ten year old little girl, and I'm paying for my mistakes now", she sighed. I just held her closer to me and ran my fingers through her long hair. Suddenly the door opened with great force and we're met with the unfortunate presence of the people behind nearly half of our entire lives' pain.
"Time to get up sleepy heads", Tina said. I rolled my eyes.
"We're good", I said bluntly.
"You know, I'm sure those poor friends of yours miss those two little kids we exposed of", Max laughed.
"W-Which kids?", I stuttered.
"The mini Bentleys", Tina said smirking.
"Awe, I feel so bad for them", Alyssa said in a fake voice. At first I was confused as to why she wasn't more upset about these people (even if she didn't know them; she can't stand it when people get hurt), but then I remembered our little talk about those two and where they were heading. I inwardly laughed. So they don't know where the kids are and are just saying they 'eliminated' them to play with everyone's emotions. That's ridiculous.
"Oh yeah, that's really sad. I guess we better get going then", I said sighing as I gently pushed my sister out of the room.
Third person POV
"Where are we?", Ella's small voice boomed throughout a large dungeon/arena type of room that was quite creepy looking. All heads turned that way in shock.
"Ella!?", came multiple voices. It appears Tina and Max had led everyone into the same room for some unknown reason.
"Uh…yeah. Who's there?", Ella asked confusedly.
"Oh my goodness! Sunshine, where are you!?", Austin yelled into the dark room. Ella's breath hitched when she recognized the voice, as did Ally's.
"A-Austin?", Ally stuttered.
"Ally!? Where are you two!?", Austin yelled. Suddenly the dark room was illuminated with bright lights and everyone could finally see their entire family again.
"Who's ready for some fun?", Tina asked with an evil smirk.
And another cliffhanger; sorry guys! Even though I know this is a little late (in my time zone), I really want to wish Laura Marano a very happy eighteenth birthday. I know she's never going to see this (I could only be so lucky), but I still wanted to update today/yesterday really, just for her. She's been a real inspiration in my life and I can't thank her enough. Love you Laura! Anyway, please read, review, follow, and favorite!
God bless you all!
