Chapter 20
Amy's Pov
I was now currently crying in the corner of the room that I was locked in. I know, I know, how childish but if you were in my situation where you were scared for your life and have been abused in a shitty place like this, then you'd probably do the same. It's been one week and two days that I've stayed in this horrible place. That's what Travis has told me at least. Whenever Travis gets angry, he would hit me or punch me but I'd always try and protect my stomach.
Just yesterday afternoon, Travis scared the fuck outta me by that gun. He may of pointed that gun at me but he told me that was just to scare Jack and our friends. After he had shot the camera, the two idiots let go of me and Travis kissed me. Every time I resist, he either slaps me after or holds onto my wrist tightly, forming an ugly purple bruise which I have all over both my arms since he gets angry at me a lot.
I know it seems silly to cry over just getting hit on the arms but it still hurts and also my emotions are all over the place. I'm just scared now that he might hurt the unborn baby if he gets extremely mad or comes back one day drunk off his ass even though I'll try with all my might to protect this baby even though when Jack finds me, he'll probably kill him in one second, no doubt.
I jumped when the door to the room suddenly slammed open, hitting against the wall behind. I sat still as the king of all assholes walked in. I glared at him as he approached me with a smirk. I really wanted to slap him or punch him but I don't want to take the chance of getting kicked in the stomach. Travis grabbed my chin and pulled my face towards him even though I was still glaring at him. If only looks could kill damn it.
"What do you want?" I snapped angrily.
"You, what else?" he answered like it was the obvious.
"And you are honestly sick in the head" I said like it was obvious. His grip on my chin tightened and he narrowed his eyes at me.
"Don't make me use this" Travis said. I looked at him confused till he used his free hand to grab a pocket knife from his back pocket and hold it against my neck making me tilt my head back and my eyes to widen in shock and fear.
"You wouldn't.......would you?" I asked and the smirk returned to his face.
"I used it before" Travis said.
"Fuck you!" I shouted before spitting in his face.
Travis growled before pinning me down to the floor while still growling like a bloody animal. I glared up at him as I struggled to get out of his grip. I will not back down so easily damn it! I'm not going down without a fight. Travis was straddling me and he was pinning me down while still holding onto his pocket knife. I kicked him in the baby maker making him groan loudly and fall to the side, letting go of me and the pocket knife.
I quickly grabbed the pocket knife before straddling Travis' waist as I held the pocket knife towards Travis' throat. I know Travis was recording this considering the camera in the corner of the room because he's a mega perve that is way too crazy and likes to ruin people's lives. Travis looked at the knife to me before he grinned even though he was probably still in pain since I kicked him quite hard.
"Do you honestly think you've won?" Travis asked.
"Yes because I can easily kill you right now" I hissed.
"Well let me tell you, I always have a back up plan" Travis said. He didn't even give me time to think before he held a gun towards my stomach making my eyes widen yet again. I quickly dropped the knife and backed away from him, towards a corner. "Don't you get it? I always win" Travis said with a sick smirk on his face as walked towards me before crouching in front of me. Travis then kissed me with the gun towards my stomach.I shut my eyes tightly, wanting to go home.
"Well, I better get going, I got work to do" he said casually as he pecked my lips.
He got up and walked out of the room, locking the door behind him. I was shaking in the corner in fear as I hugged my stomach protectively . Tears ran down my face yet again. I closed my eyes and lied down. I want to go home to Jack and my friends and family. I want to see them again and feel safe. I don't want to be scared anymore, I want to feel protected and I want to live to see my baby grow up with Jack.
I just want to go home
Jack's Pov
I growled as I punched the punching bag since I was in the boxing area in the gym. John was in the corner with Caleb. I'm pretty sure I almost made a hole in the punching bag with how hard I was punching it. I had a lot of pent up anger in me right now. All I can think about, day and night, was Amy getting hurt or even worse. Even though the others say I shouldn't think like that but tell me, who wouldn't?
I huffed as I stopped punching the the punching bag. I took a sip of water from my bottle and packed everything away before slinging my gym bag over my shoulder. I walked out of the gym with John and Caleb running after me since I didn't bother to wait for them. I wasn't in the mood to talk about anything. I know I'm not the only one that's taking this whole situation bad, Max is going crazy knowing his sister is still missing.
"We'll find her eventually" John said once he caught up.
"Yeah, I'm sure we can track the asshole down" Caleb said.
I growled at them as my response as they raised their hands in defence. We got into my car and drove off to John's place. I was still angry when we got to his place. We got out of the car and inside the house. I walked upstairs and into the guest room, closing the door behind me. I sighed as I rubbed my neck. I grabbed my towel, ready to have a shower but I noticed something on my nightstand till I noticed, it was a bloody CD.
I cursed under my breath before grabbing the CD and going downstairs, into the living room. I told John and Caleb who called up the others, especially Max cause he needs to know all about what's going on with his sister. When the others came, they sat on the couch and I put the CD in the CD player that John had. After watching the video, I was furious. The others were trying to calm me down as Max walked outside, probably to cool off.
"He almost killed her!" I snarled.
"Jack, I know this seems bad, but you gotta be calm, destroying things is not gonna help us in finding Amy and bringing her back safely" Amanda said and Sarah nodded in agreement.
"I'm trying but he just keeps giving me a reason to be furious" I said. I heard my phone start ringing from my pocket. I took out my phone to see it was the hospital where Annabelle was staying.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Is this Mr Reece?" they asked.
"Yes, that's me" I said.
"Oh good, we've tried to contact Miss Prescott but she's not answering at the moment but she wanted us to call when the girl, Annabelle was aloud to leave which today, I don't know if you want to come pick her up or we call someone else..." he trailed off. I know what he meant by someone else which is a social worker who will take Annabelle to a foster home which I will not let that happen to her.
"No, it's ok, I'll come and sign her out" I said before hanging up.
"Was that the hospital that the little girl is staying at?" Sarah asked and I nodded as I grabbed my car keys.
"Good luck dude" John said, grinning. I rolled my eyes and grinned back.
"Bye!" I shouted over my shoulder I walked out the front door.
I closed the door behind me and got into my car. I drove off towards the hospital. Once I got there, I ran inside, towards Annabelle's room. Annabelle was sitting on the hospital bed, looking down but I could see small tears falling onto her lap. I slowly walked into the room and towards Annabelle. I kneeled down in front of her. Annabelle looked at me before she plunged towards me with her arms wrapped around my neck, sobbing as I wrapped my arms around her and rubbed her back.
"Sh, it's ok, you're safe now" I whispered softly.
"N-no, some man c-came in, saying that he t-took Amy away and is gonna t-take me away" Annabelle sobbed. I froze as my eyes widen.
"Wait, a man came in here? Where was the nurse?" I asked as pulled away from Annabelle but holding her at arms length from me.
"I-I don't know, I p-pretended to be a-asleep" Annabelle explained.
"Well now you're safe so lets go home" I said as I helped her up.
We walked out of the hospital and into the car. I drove off back to Johns place. We walked inside and the others were still there, talking to each other. Amanda and Sarah smiled at Annabelle as she stayed quiet. They both got up and guided her up the stairs, into the other spare room for her to stay in till everything is figured out and there's no problems cause there's a lot right now going on.
Sarah's Pov
"Come on, you need some rest" I said as Amanda and I guided her upstairs and into the other guest room. Annabelle sat on the bed with Amanda as I closed the door and sat on the floor, in front of them.
"Do I have to go back to school tomorrow?" Annabelle asked.
"Nope, you're still injured and need some rest, it won't be until at least a month probably till you go back to that prison" I said. Annabelle laughed at that which made Amanda and I smile.
"School is prison" Annabelle agreed.
"Damn right it is" Amanda said.
"Hey, can I ask you two something" Annabelle asked.
"Sure" Amanda said.
"A girl named May visited me, she said that she'll make sure I'll end up in a foster home after she marries Jack, is that going to happen?" Annabelle asked, sounding scared. I frowned, as did Amanda. Amanda hugged Annabelle from the side.
"No, it's not, she's crazy but don't worry, she has to go through all of us if she wants to ruin you, trust me hun, you're safe with us" I reassured her as she smiled.
"Listen, how about you get some rest while Sarah and I make something for you to eat" Amanda suggested.
"Ok" Annabelle nodded.
We smiled at her as she laid down and covered herself. Amanda and I walked out of the room. We walked downstairs and into the kitchen. We took out the ingredients we need to just make some lasagne for us all while the boys were still talking in the living room. Amanda and I discussed about what we were going to tell theatres, especially Jack, about May visiting Annabelle as well as Travis, that son of a bitch.
After we were done cooking, I set up the table and placed the lasagne in the middle as Amanda went to get Annabelle to come down and eat with us also to introduce her to everyone else so she gets to know them and feel comfortable with them. I know Amy would want that and that she would want her to feel welcomed after everything she's been through and shouldn't have to be put through like Catherine. I frowned, I miss Amy.
"Eat up guys" I said as everyone walked into the dinning room and started to eat. I sat next to Annabelle and Caleb.
"Are you ok?" Caleb whispered to me and I nodded.
"I'm ok, just worried" I said. Caleb frowned and kissed my cheek. I smiled slightly at him and blushed.
"I'm sure she's ok" Caleb reassured me.
"Yeah but she must be scared, I mean who wouldn't?" I said, frowning.
"We'll find her soon" Caleb said.
"Can't we go to the police?" I asked.
"We can't, we don't know what he'll do to her if he finds out" Caleb said.
"I hate this asshole" I grumbled.
"We all do but what can we do?" Caleb shrugged. I huffed and frowned yet again. After we finished eating, Annabelle went to bed cause it was like 10pm now plus she did just get out of the hospital. We all sat in the living room as Jack looked down t his lap, deep in his thoughts.
"Hey Amanda, can I stay at yours tonight?" I asked, looking over at Amanda who was sitting on John's lap.
"Sure, we can walk home together" Amanda nodded.
"Great" I said.
"At least I know you two are safe together" John said and Caleb nodded in agreement while Max was quiet the whole time. I just shushed them because of Jack.
"I think we should head home now, it's getting late anyway" Amanda said, standing up.
"Ok, bye Caleb, bye everyone" I said as I kissed Caleb's cheek.
"Bye" the others shouted as Amanda and I left the house. We started to walk in the direction of Amanda's house.
"I feel really bad for Max and Jack" Amanda said, frowning.
"I know but they'll be alright....hopefully" I muttered the last bit.
"But-"
I shushed her once I heard a twig snap. I looked around the darkness. The only light was the light post above us which was the only one working on this entire street. The clouds were covering the stars and moon so it was quite dark as you could imagine. We heard quiet chattering so we followed it. We came to a dark alleyway. We were shocked when we saw David and Dillon. What the bloody hell is my brother doing with that snake?!
I narrowed my eyes at him. Oh he is so going to get it. Amanda and I crawled over so we were behind the the large dumpster. We peaked from behind the dumpster, at them both as they chatted in hushed voices but I heard bits and pieces of it. I know they were mentioning Amy's name and May's, the bitch with the big mouth and whiny voice. Oh Dillon, what have you gotten yourself into?
I jumped when I felt something scatter over my feet. I looked down to see a rat in front of us making our eyes widen. I knew Amanda was about to scream in fear so I quickly covered her out as she did the same to me. Amanda closed her eyes shut, looking scared shitless. The rat hissed at us before scurrying up the dumpster and inside. It was quiet for a moment and we glanced to see if they were still there, luckily they were.
"I don't know where she is but you should be glad that bitch is gone" David hissed. Amanda was about to get up and go over there with a scowl on her face but I put arm out, stopping her.
"I can't keep lying to my friends and my own sister, she's bound to find out eventually and I don't want her to hate me" Dillon said, looking guilty. I frowned at that.
"Well Trevor has her now, so suck it up and stop crying you big baby" David growled. Now I was about to get up and attack him for speaking to my brother like that till Amanda held her arm out like I did and shook her head.
"Listen I know, you know where Amy is, especially that slut, May, now TELL ME!" Dillon shouted pretty loudly as he grabbed David by his shirt and slammed him into the wall, holding him up. David looked scared shitless till he covered his fear up with an emotionless face.
"You know what, I don't have time for this" David said as he tried to push Dillon away but that was quite hard, knowing how strong my brother is.
"You don't get to leave till you tell me where she is" Dillon growled.
"Fuck you! You are just some teenager! You should of left when you had the chance!" David yelled. I really wanted to punch him but Dillon did that for me when he punched David. It looked like it broke his jaw which made me smile. David's nose was bleeding and he was covering his nose and mouth.
"That's for not telling me where she was when you had the chance old man" Dillon sneered before walking away. Amanda and I backed up against the wall, hoping he wouldn't see us as he walked by. Dillon walked by and kept walking. David then walked by. Amanda and I sighed in relief once they left.
"I think I'm gonna go home and talk to Dillon" I said as we bot stood up and started to walk away.
"I understand, I'll see you tomorrow" Amanda said and I nodded before running off in the direction of my house.
Once I got home, I walked inside and closed the door behind me. It was dark inside as I walked upstairs. I slowly walked to my brothers room which the door was closed and locked. I could tell his light was on. I knocked on his room and heard footsteps. Dillon unlocked his door and opened his door. He looked shocked to see me but I could see in his eyes that he was guilty and didn't look all that happy.
"Can I come in?" I asked. Dillon nodded and opened the door wider for me to come in. I walked in and sat on his bed with Dillon next to me.
"You heard everything didn't you?" Dillon said making me look at him in shock. How did he know?
"How do you know?" I voiced my thought.
"I saw you and Amanda but I ignored it" Dillon mumbled. I turned to face him.
"I may of heard everything but I'm not mad if you have something to do with Amy's disappearance" I said.
"You're not?" Dillon asked in shock as he looked at me.
"I'm not cause I know you still like Amy but I know you wouldn't go as far as to do something this drastic" I said.
"I'm sorry" Dillon said, looking guilty. I smiled and hugged him.
"That's all I wanted to hear" I muttered. Dillon hugged me back before kissing my forehead. "You will always be my big brother" I said as we pulled away from the hug.
"And you will always be my baby sister" Dillon smirked. I glared at him playfully as I smacked his shoulder. We both laughed as he rubbed he shoulder.
"Thanks for understanding sis" Dillon said.
"That's what sisters are for" I said, nodding.
"Now get some sleep, it's already midnight and you need your sleep" Dillon said and I rolled my eyes.
"Fine mum" I joked. Dillon smiled and kissed my forehead again.
"Night Sarah" Dillon said.
"Night Dillon" I said, smiling back. I got up and walked into my room. I changed into my pyjamas and crawled into bed before closing my eyes, falling asleep.
