*****Dinah's POV****
"Hi baby girl, how are you in there?" I heard her voice say. I opened my eyes to Alexa's laptop sitting in front of me. I could feel the bandage around my head irritate my skin. "Mama's asleep right now, but I wanted to say hi without her teasing me". It was a video of Mila from when we were on tour, and someone was recording her the entire time. She seemed so content and happy. There was no way she knew someone was watching. Everything seemed so natural... so perfect.
"The world's a little different out here. You're gonna cry, fall down a few times for sure. But me and Manna, we'll always be here. So when you do fall, we can pick you back up". I didn't know whether to smile or cry right now. She was going to take care of my baby like it was her own. She loved me no matter what. "We haven't had a sonogram yet. That's when they take a picture of you before you're here. That's also how we tell if you're a boy or girl. All we know is that you'll be gorgeous. Just like Mama. You may not be mine in blood, but I will put my heart and soul into you and your mother. And I'm never letting go. Ever".
I just started balling at this point. I miss her so much. If I have this baby here, I don't know what Alexa will do to them. I needed to get out of here. I needed to be back home and safe in her arms. I wanted this baby to be born. "I love you so much, both of you" she whispered quietly. She propped herself up on her elbow and moved closer to my stomach, placing a kiss on it. She moved up and kissed my forehead next, pulling me into her arms. "Sleep well, my babies. I love you".
When that video ended, it switched to another. "What did it say?" I ask her, leaning closer. She just winks and says "I'm passionate". I just laughed and shoved her shoulder lightly. "Eww, why are you passionate?" And then she turned the camera quickly to my face. "You see that face, that's why I'm passionate". This was before everything with Simon and Austin. Even as friends, we were always very affectionate. Us getting together was kind of inevitable.
"Please Alexa. I don't want to see anymore of this" I yelled through my tears, but I got no response. I could feel my heart being torn into pieces with every passing video. She was killing me slowly...just like she promised. And the videos continued. To the time we filmed for awesomeness tv, to the time I came and watched her play piano in the studio. But then she tried to teach me and well...well, here comes that video next.
"How long have you been standing there?" she said softly, and I could hear the small through her voice. I walked behind her, wrapping my arms around her shoulders, kissing her cheek. "Only for a minute. You play so beautifully, baby". "Sit down, I wanna show you something". So I sat with her, getting nervous when she moved my hand over the keys. When she let them go, they dropped completely, making a loud and terrible sound. "Sorry" I blushed, "I'm heavy handed". She told me it was fine, then taught me the keys and came up with an idea."Here baby, let's try this. Push the hair out of my face". I laughed nervously but did it anyway, my hands barely brushing her face. "Perfect, now do that with the keys". And it actually worked.
When my days look low, pull me in close and don't let me go
Make love to me, so when the worlds at war, that our love heal us all
Right now baby make love to me me me me me
Oh oh make love to me
And that's exactly what we did. Yes, Mila and I "did the deed" on top of a piano. Did I feel bad about whoever had to take care of the equipment? Yeah, a little. But I could never regret things I did with Mila. Plus, that night was one of the best of my life. Just the little things made me remember why we fell in love in the first place.
The next video really killed me. This had to be recent, from after I disappeared. It was Camila walking around some house, right past the girls without acknowledging them. "You hungry swe-" Ally attempted to make conversation, but was cut off by a door closing. I couldn't help but notice the way clenched that book to her. "Mila. Please, let's talk". "I'm writing!" She growing distant. Like I did a few times. I couldn't dig myself out alone, and I know the girls will take care of her.
This was getting tiring. I didn't want to sit here and be forced to watch this anymore. "Alexandra! I'm done! Turn this shit off!" I yell, pulling against my shackles. "But don't you want to know about the book? Or the girls now? Or who I talked to earlier?" displayed on the screen. She intrigued me. I had to keep watching.
"Hi Gordon. It's great to hear from you again. How's everyone adjusting?" Alexa asked, making me gasp. No, he couldn't be involved. Not my dad. "We're coping. Having that girl here is making it harder to readjust". She was going to use my dad to hurt her. I know it. "She's got this book of theories, where she has stuff documented and potential suspects for Dinah's kidnapping". That caught her attention. "Get rid of it. It'll make her obsessed and then she'll never let go".
And then the next video plays. And it breaks my heart. Camila is sobbing with the girls holding her back, while my dad is lighting the book on fire. Alexa could've been in there. And she knew that. I didn't doubt Camila's intelligence. Even without that book, she would figure it out. And I need to help her. I had to keep leaving clues. And I had to get to the hospital now.
I yelled out in pain for Alexa, making her run into the room. "What's wrong?"she asked, kneeling dangerously close in front of me. As much as I wanted to hurt her, I had to keep up the act. "S-somethings wrong" I cry out, trying to use my cramps and aching back to create real pain. "You're not bleeding. Are you su" I cut her off by yelling again. "Please! I need to see, a doctor. I wanna see the one my mother had" I yell. She's about to protest, but I lean off the wall and bite at her, turning the pain into anger. "If you don't take me to him, I'll kill you".
Just like that, I was in my hospital again. I had counted the entire flight, coming to the time of a little under an hour and one half. I could use that to maybe define where I am. I just had to remember to tell the doctor that, but in code. Only something we know, that he could pass on.
"Hello, Ms.-" my doctor paused and looked at me. "She was experiencing some pain, so I thought I'd bring her in just to be safe" Alexa said with a sweet smile on her face. He knew exactly who I was and my whole situation with being kidnapped. The doctor here today, Dr. Young, had delivered me and all of my siblings. So when I went missing, he was informed as well. Now I was here, and it was two against one.
"Well Ms., I'm going to run a sonogram and see what's going on. This are all the possibilities right here". He came next to the bed and showed me his clipboard. Don't worry, the cops are coming. We're gonna get you home. I just smiled and nodded, "thank you, Dr." "No problem Ms. I'll be back in a few minutes". This was going to work.
I'm going home.
