Family First ♡ - A Chaselyn Story

Chapter 41

Ellies pov

Josh.

Lauren.

This can't be happening. It's like my worst nightmare coming true. My breathes began to get shallow, Zoe became aware and asked, "Yo Ellie, you good?" she says and I just nod at her. "Please can you both take a seat in-front of Ellie Stokes. Ellie raise your hand so they know where to sit" the teacher sits but Josh cuts her off. "Oh Miss, we know who Ellie is don't worry. Little miss adopted" he says, whispering the last part to me when he walked over to me. Zoe looks at me worried and confused.

Lauren and Josh sat in front of me and Zoe, our maths teacher had to leave the class for a couple minutes to get something. This gave them time to talk to me. Something I didn't ever want to do. "Hey Stokes. Long time no see" Josh says and I just ignore them. "Little bitch, stop ignoring us. Do you want us to tell everyone about your secret?" She asks. I tried not to act scared so I spoke up confidentially. "What secret?" I say and they both laugh. "You have many secrets, Ellie. First one is that your parents are famous?" Josh says. I didn't want people knowing this. They might just use me. "That's a lie" Josh says laughing. "John B and Sarah Cameron?" Lauren says, smirking. "Your parents are Chase and Madelyn Stokes?" Zoe asks besides me, shocked.

"Erm yeah" I say awkwardly. "Do you want us to spill the next secret?" Lauren says and I shake my head. "No, you don't want people to know you were too scared to have s-" Lauren begins to say but the teacher appears, "Class, be silent!" She shouts and Lauren and Josh turn around. Zoe whispers to me, "Are you okay?" and I just nod my head. I wasn't. This was my worst nightmare. I didn't expect Josh to have moved to Los Angeles and even more so I didn't expect him to be in this school and be Lauren's boyfriend.

I couldn't focus on a word the teacher was saying. I was on the edge of tears. Seeing Josh here made me have flashbacks to what happened last time I was with him. "Class dismissed" the teacher says when the bell goes, signalling it was lunch. "Hey, Ellie do you wanna sit with us at lunch?" Zoe asks but before I could reply I grabbed my bag and walked away quickly, hoping to get away from Lauren and Josh. I didn't know where I was going but I didn't care. I headed outside, near the basketball courts and just sat behind a tree.

"You didn't think you could run from us, did you?" Lauren says. I turn around and see Josh and Lauren. "You know, last time I saw you was when you were my girl. Now I have Lauren, she's so much better. At least she isn't ugly" Josh says. He use to be so nice to me. What happened to him. "You fucking raped me last time I saw you" I say, standing up. This caused him to get angry and punch me in the face. "You don't mention a word to anybody. Otherwise I'll kill you" he says angrily.

"You're so worthless. You're adopted, right? Your own parents didn't even want you" Lauren says laughing to herself, "Her real dad tried to kill her. Just shows how much he loved her" Josh tell her. "Her Mom died, must've been weak like her daughter" he adds which causes Lauren to laugh loudly. When he mentioned my biological Mom, i lunged forward and punched the both of them. "Don't mention her" I say but they punched me back.

Two against one never ends well. "Fucking bitch" Lauren says and starts beating me up until I was unable to move. Josh kicked me one last time and left me there, lying on the floor. They walked away laughing to themselves. I'm in so much pain. I can hardly move. I was crying and bleeding almost everywhere.

I reach over to my bag and pull my phone out, making the pain worsen but I needed to phone Mom. I press over her contact... it went straight to voicemail. I tried Dads and he didn't pick up either. They said they would answer straight away. I kept trying and trying but she wouldn't pick up. "Please Mom. I need you" I say in tears, my voice cracking.
