~Chapter 17~
Christian's POV:
From the corner of my eye I saw Amanda pull out her phone from her pocket again. I'm guessing it was another text. I don't think the text was good because she became pale.
"Mandy, are you okay?" I asked her, she looked up from her phone and looked at me. Her expressions changed and she quickly gave me a smile, of course I could see right through it, she was faking it.
"Don't give me that fake smile Amanda." I said, she sighed and fiddled with her fingers and started sweating, it's something she does when she gets nervous.
"My aunt's coming home, and she's uhmm worried that we're not home." She said and continued fiddling with her fingers. I don't know if she was telling the truth or not but I decided to let it slip for now and ask her about it some other time.
"Alright, we'll get you guys home." I said and drove a little faster. We got to their house in 5 minutes.
"Thank you for letting us stay the night and for saving me last night. I really appreciate it. I'll see you tomorrow." She said and gave me a kiss on the cheek. The twins gave me hugs and got out with Amanda.
I wonder why they had to leave so early. Amanda seemed so tense. I hope everything's alright.
I waited for them to go in the house before driving off. As soon as they walked in, I drove away.
Amanda's POV:
I knew Aunt Lucy is already home, and I know she's gonna be pissed. I was scared to go in, I'll admit, but I didn't want to show that I was scared because that twins would get scared.
Before going in, I crouched down to the twins' level and looked them in the eye.
"As soon as we walk in, I want you guys to run upstairs in your room. If something happens, call Christian." I said and handed them my phone.
"Yes Sissy" They both said, I sighed and opened the door. We walked in and the twins gave me a look before running upstairs.
"Amanda!" I heard Aunt Lucy yell, shit's about to go down. I walked to the direction of her voice, it seemed like she was in her room. I took a deep breath before opening the door.
"Yes ma'am?" She threw a bottle of beer on the wall beside me.
"Where the hell have you been?! I told you I wanted the house clean and food ready for me!" She shouted, I winced at how loud her voice was.
"Yes, I know, I'm sorry ma'am." I said and bowed my head. She walked towards me and looked me dead in the eye.
"You're a mistake, you don't belong in this world." She said through gritted teeth, I could smell the alcohol in her breath. I usually don't let her words affect me, but there was something about how she said it this time.
"You never should've came into my life, if only your mom kept you." What does she mean? She's delusional.
"What?" I let out a whisper, she slapped me across the face.
"Shut up you bitch, I didn't tell you to talk!" She yelled and gripped my hair in her hand. I whimpered in pain but tried not to look too weak.
"You're a weak piece of shit." She said and shoved me to the ground. She walked over to her bedside table and took out something. She walked back towards me and brought the object close to my face. It was a knife. She was gonna kill me, literally.
"I should've left you years ago, I don't know why the hell I dealt with a piece of shit like you." She said and started cutting deep into my cheek, I felt the tears form in my eyes, I wanted to shout for the twins, but I didn't want to risk them getting hurt by Aunt Lucy.
She cut deeper until my jaw, this is gonna leave a huge and ugly scar. I heard the door creak open and saw the twins. They looked at me in horror, Aunt Lucy didn't see them, but I made a signal with my hand to call Christian and they nodded their heads understanding what I was trying to say. They closed the door carefully not to get Aunt Lucy's attention.
She took the knife away from my cheek and brought it to my stomach.
"I should've killed you years ago." She said and dug the knife in my stomach, I gasped at the pain and tears filled my eyes. I wanted to shout and cry for help, but I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to shout, I knew she would hurt me more.
Christian, where are you? I need you.
Christian's POV:
I was about 5 minutes to my house when I heard my phone ring. I pulled over and read the caller I.D, it was Amanda. I wonder what she needs, I just got back from her place, this seems urgent. I answered the call and brought it to my ear.
"Hello?" I heard whimpering and sobs on the other line.
"Chrisy?" Ashley, why does she have Amanda's phone, what the hell is going on?
"Ashley? What's wrong? Are you okay? Where's Amanda? Ashton, are you there?"
"Sissy needs you, she's in trouble, she's getting hurt." I heard Ashton say, I quickly drove away and drove to Amanda's house. I didn't hang up on the phone because I could tell the twins were scared.
"Hey, you guys are gonna be okay. What happened? Where are you guys?"
"We're in our room, Amanda's with Aunt Lucy, she's getting hurt." Aunt Lucy? Why is Amanda getting hurt? What the hell is going on?
"Okay, stay on the line, don't hang up. Hide in the closet, and don't come out until Amanda and I get you." I said, I heard some shuffling and heard Ashton's voice.
"We're scared Christian, we saw Aunt Lucy with a knife against Amanda's face and sissy was crying, she told us to call you." He explained, I got to their house in no time with the speed I was in.
"Okay, I'm here. Just stay in there and don't come out." I got out of the car and ran inside, I heard some shouting and whimpering from upstairs.
"Okay, I'm gonna hang up, you guys stay safe in there. I'll get you guys later, I'm gonna check on Amanda." I said
"Okay, please save our sister." Ashley whimpered and the line went dead.
As I got to the top of the stairs, the whimpering got louder. I opened the door closest to the stairs and saw Amanda laying in a pool of blood, her blood.
