WARNING IT GET'S A LITTLE HEAVY IN THIS CHAPTER.

Madison's POV

"What the hell are you doing here?" I said through gritted teeth.

"I knew you were here and mom and dad weren't,"

"How?"

"Be careful what you post," She said trying to walk in but I closed the door so it was only a crack open.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I want you to let me in,"

"You can't come in here,"

"Why not?"

"Mom and dad said so,"

"Well they aren't here,"

"Same rules still apply,"

"Who cares?" She said trying to walk in again. This time I shove her backwards.

"Mom and dad said you can't come back here. Also I hope you know it's illegal for you to be here," I said, referring to her restraining order.

"What are you gonna do, call the police?" She said starting to get louder.

"Yes!" I screamed pulling out my phone.

She managed to knock it out of my hand by putting her arm through the crack of the door. I wasn't about to try and pick it up because that would give her an easier opportunity to come in.

"So why are you here for?" I asked.

"I need money,"

"Well I'm a broke uni student who's not gonna feed into your shit," I replied strongly.

"Madison please," She pleaded.

"Nope,"

"Madison,"

"Get out!"

"Madi-"

"Leave!"

Ella's POV

"LEAVE!" Madison yelled, and I thought now was the best time to go and help her. When I got up, Lucy followed.

"I'm not leaving until you give me money!" The other girl yelled.

"Go away!" Madison yelled again.

Then the door was pushed open more than it originally was and Madison balled up her fists.

"I guess I have no choice," The girl at the door said before throwing a punch towards Madison, but she blocked it. The girl then tried to knee Madison in the gut but Madi jumped back before she could.

"You're so predictable," Madison laughed while still not fighting back. As the girl stepped back I was able to get a better look at her face, and she looked a bit like Madi.

"Don't you have two sisters?" I asked Madison.

"Yeah. I do," She replied looking uncomfortable with the topic.

I remember that from the hotel room and I was able to connect the dots.

"I think you should leave,"

"Give me money,"

"No. I think you should leave right now, first of all, you aren't supposed to be here. Second of all, I have company and you're causing a scene,"

"I'll leave if you give it to me,"
