Chapter fifteen

⚠⚠TW⚠⚠
This chapter will include violence in minor to medium detail, as well as vulgar language. Feel free to skip until the trigger warning is over.

Y/N POV:
"Stop!"

It didn't help. The rod came down on my mother's side again, and her cry of agony and protest forced a fresh wave of tears to flow from my eyes.

"This is what you get," my father spoke menacingly as he held the rod tightly. "When you dare to try and escape from me!" He glared at both my mom and I with such hatred and insanity that I had to look away. I heard him hit my mom again, and she screamed.

"Stop it you asshole!" I screamed suddenly, making my throat hoarse. I didn't usually tend to swear, but this situation quite obviously warranted it. I ran forward, trying to wrestle the rod from my father's grasp. Instead, it only resulted in me getting hit hard in the face with it.

I fell backwards as I felt blood trickle from my nose. My nose ached with an unreal pain, and I cried harder than I had in weeks. Just then, a force grabbed my collar, pulling me up with so much force that I screeched.

It was Rick, obviously, holding me up and glaring into my eyes with a wide-eyed, crazed expression. He shoved me hard against the wall, and punched me in the face. I literally couldn't think through the pain and my crying. I'd never experienced anything like it before.

That's when things began to get fuzzy and blurry. I could feel Rick yanking me, hitting me, punching me, and whatever else my father did. And I started seeing images flash before my vision.
I saw my early childhood, before my parents split. I remembered my sixth birthday, when my father had gotten me a brand new bicycle and taught me to ride it. I thought he was the best back then.
I also remembered becoming a teen ager, then meeting the Beast crew and joining then after I turned eighteen. Most importantly, I remembered Karl. I remembered his boyish smile. I remembered his adorable laugh. I remembered all the great times I'd had with him. As I felt another fist impact my jaw at speed, causing me to collapse, I imagined Karl in jeans and a cute hoodie, gazing into my eyes with a bright expression.

I'm sorry Karl... I hope you won't miss me. I love you...

And then everything went black.

KARL POV
"I can't be sure," Samuel told the cops. "But I think it might be them. I wasn't gonna come, but my wife forced me to. She said this is important. I hope it helps."

Samuel had arrived at the police station and told the cops everything. Ethan, Bailey, Maitland, and even Jimmy had come along to hear the news.

"That's very good. Thank you. We'll let the Tennessee police department know and they'll investigate." The cop wrote some things down and disappeared into the office.

I started pacing. "You said she looked scared, and the guy was yelling at her?" I asked, and Sam nodded.
"I can't be sure what he said exactly, but I think that he was telling them to go back inside or to the back or something."
My heart was thrashing. I couldn't be still or calm. "Dear God I hope the police get there soon." I muttered.

The cop told us the Tennessee police department was on their way to investigate, and the next many hours were spent waiting anxiously. Everyone on the Beast crew had the day off, and eventually Chandler, Chris, and even Tareq came over to wait with us. When I saw all the members waiting, I couldn't help but manage an uneasy smile. I knew Y/N had made an impact on the team, and everyone would be worried about her.

It was starting to get late. I was beyond restless and anxious. At some point I strayed out of the building and leaned against my car which Ethan and I had taken to get there. I was kicking rocks in pure desperation when I heard footsteps and looked up to see Tareq walking over to me with a rather concerned expression.

"You alright?" He asked as he joined me.
"Alright?" I repeated. "Y/N could be hurt! She might even be... D-dead!" My voice quivered. "And you're asking if I'm alright?!"
I actually came across a lot harsher than I intended, and Tareq stepped back a bit, looking down silently.

"I'm sorry," I said in a softer tone. "I'm just... Worried."
The camera man gave a nod of understanding. "I know. I think it's pretty common knowledge how you feel about Y/N. But I'm sure she'll be okay."
For some reason, hearing Tareq's rather convinced tone made me relax. If the other guys thought Y/N would be okay, then she had to be. It was no use worrying too hard before I knew for sure.

"You're right, I guess," I said at last. "Thanks. I guess I shouldn't think the worst, huh?"
Tareq smiled and nodded, and I returned the gesture.

Just then, the door to the building opened, and Ethan stepped out.
"You guys! Come in! They got information about Y/N!" He seemed excited, and Tareq and I hurried back inside.

There were two cops talking to Jimmy and the other gathered guys. I tuned in as we joined the group.
"The Tennessee police department gave us some information. They investigated the address, and guess what? They found your missing friend and her mom, plus the men who abducted them."

Our group erupted into cheers that drowned out the officer's next words, and I felt a sort of warm relief flood through my body. But as we quieted down, that relief slowly ebbed away as the officer spoke again.

"Y/N Y/L/N is gravely injured however. They reported she'd been beaten to unconscious with multiple wounds and bruises, and probably head trauma. She was shipped off to their local hospital for emergency treatment."

So far I wasn't too concerned. They'd be able to save her, right? Totally.

But the officer went on.

"The paramedics reported... There's not much hope for her. They say... Only a miracle can make that girl survive the night."

A/N: Oooh, watch me leave y'all on another cliff hanger ;)) XD.

Also I've been binging Jimmy's videos and uh -cough- low-key am suddenly sorta into Tareq like... A lot? Suddenly? IDK WHY?? XD. But so yeah I put him in the story for a bigger appearance than before because yeah- Help me-

I also have been getting into Chris now too?! HELP?! XD. IDK why but I randomly started getting into those both so I have a question..

I posted this but I don't know how many of y'all saw so I'll put it here and you can all LMK in the comments-

If I made like a Chris fanfic or Tareq fanfic, (or both, like a triangle sorta thing) after this book, would you read? Like I know Chris is like a main member but Tareq is a camera man so like... He's less popular (give the camera crew and editing crew more love guys they deserve it XD). So I'm like wondering... Would either of those (or both) be popular? Just wanna get some opinions before I do it XD.

ANYWAYS with that out of the way, I hope you enjoyed, anticipate chapter sixteen (probably gonna go onto it right after this cuz I'm bored so it might likely come out tonight)!

Have a great day, and remember to smile, because smiles are the brightest light! \ (^-^) /

EDIT: Yes I am obviously aware that Chris has a family so if anyone voted for a fanfic with him, it'd be like an AU sort of thing, and I'd put clear indications that I totes respect his family and all that. Just thought I'd put that out there XD
