Hey guys! Welcome back to my crappy writing! If y'all like this keep reading and gimme comments and votes? Idk, I just want you guys to tell me if you like this so I can keep writing. This is the chapter where we are unveiling Elle's bestie! It's all from Elle's POV too, just to let you know. ENJOY BABES.

I was hiding in the back corner with my brothers, eating what food Noah had brought up when chaos erupted.

The door flung open, and there stood my father, ruffled and angry. 

"I was just about to invite you all down for lunch, but it seems you already got it!" He took a step toward me.

Noah stepped in front of me and my brothers. "It was my doing. Punish me and not them. They told me not to I swear."

"But the best way to punish you is to punish them." His eyes were full of greed and hate. Suddenly, his hand was wrapped around my arm, and he was dragging me to the next room over. I heard my brothers begging to let me go, and my mom just closed the door behind him.

"Let me go!" I yelled, trying to fight my way out of his arms.

"No fucking way, bitch." He threw me on the floor, and kicked me in the nose. Tears rolled down my cheeks as he slammed the door shut and locked it. I knew I shouldn't open that door or even try to get out, but then I remembered, there is a door that connects mine and the boys. 

I walked over and tried to open it, but it was bolted shut. Suddenly, something was being shoved under the door.

It was Noah's sweatshirt, with a piece of paper on it.

I'm sorry, I'm an idiot. I know it's freezing so here is this. <3 Noah

Tears and blood streamed down my face as I put the hoodie over my head and huddled in the corner of the room and unlocked my phone. I scrolled though my contacts and found who I wanted to text, Walker.

Help

What's wrong??

I'm locked in this room and I can't get out

Mentally or physically?

Physically

How did that happen

IDK

You do know, just tell me. Please?

My dad was starving us, and he figured out that Noah had gotten food from downstairs, and he knew hurting me would make him hurt. So now I'm here.

I'm coming over

No

Why not?

Cause my dad will beat the shit out of you

He can't do that if I climb through the window.

You're crazy

Watch me, unlock your window.

I got off my phone and unlocked the window, my hands shaking. I watched TikTok on my phone, refraining from wiping my blood on Noah's hoodie.

(abt 15 minutes later babes)

I jumped when the window opened to find Walker himself, his blonde hair practically brown from the rain. His blue eyes smiled at me as he walked in, holding tissues and a box of Chicken in a Biscuit.

I walked over and wrapped my arms around him. He wrapped his arms back around me, resting his chin against my head. 

We sat like this for a long time. 

When we finally let go, we sat against the wall, and I told him everything while he helped me clean myself up.

"I'm sorry, you didn't deserve that." He said as I leaned against him while I ate a Chicken in a Biscuit.

"And you shouldn't be here. You're going to get in so much trouble if my dad finds you."

He shrugged. "It's worth it, Elle."

I shook my head. "You're ridiculous."

"No, I'm not. And are you sure you don't want me to call the cops?" His blue eyes looked into my hazel ones, and my hard skipped a beat.

"Please don't.." I breathed. "If they don't find anything wrong... he'll just make it worse."

He nodded.  "Well.. do you want to come over? My mom wouldn't ask anything."

"You're so sweet. No, cause if he comes in here and finds that I'm not here it's all downhill for my brothers. I can't ask your mom to do that and get involved."

Walker's phone went off. He sighed. "It's Leena, she said she can't cover for me for much longer."

"I get it, it's okay." He wrapped me in a hug, and it was obvious he didn't want to let go. "Please just go, it's better, and if something happens I'll tell you to call the cops, okay?"

He nodded against my shoulder, grabbed the box of tissues and the empty box of Chicken in a Biscuit. He bid me goodbye one last time, and then he was gone.

I curled into a ball on the floor and started crying and stayed that way for a very long time.

Hey guys! What do you think? Hope you enjoyed it!! -Em <3
