Twenty Five.

Chapter seventeen

Christmas day. Yeah, that's right, Christmas day.

Ellington woke up lying under a pile of streamers and surrounded by empty plastic cups. His hair was stuck up and his shirt had vanished. He had a throbbing headache which made him feel sick. He slowly sat up and then opened his eyes but his jaw dropped in shock and horror. His whole house had been trashed from top to bottom. Pizza and paint covered the wall, unknown stains covered the carpet. A hideous smell came from the box in the corner. The couch had been turned into some kind of fort in which rocky was loudly snoring in. Something had happened to every single object in the room. either it had been destroyed, remade into something completely different or it had a stain or pen adaptions on it.

Ellington slowly got to his feet, still nursing his hangover head and stumbled upstairs. The last thing he remembered of Rydel was her walking upstairs whilst he was playing beer pong and when he had shouted her over to join him, she had completely blanked him out. He barged into his bedroom and his jaw fell open as instead of seeing Rydel lying in bed and sleepily peacefully he saw Riker and Ross asleep together. Slightly uncomfortable by the sight that lay in front of him, he closed the door and walked towards joeys room. He pulled the door open quietly but was surprised when he found that the room was also empty. He wandered back down the stairs and found a video camera lying on it's side on the floor. He picked it up and rubbed his eyes again as his vision focused on the feed on the camera. Suddenly everything came flooding back to Ellington.

"Ellington! Ellington! Ellington!" Everyone around him chanted as he chugged his fifth beer in a row, beating the two guys that he had been racing by a long way. He swayed slightly as the alcohol began to take effect and he giggled over exaggeratedly. He saw Rydel through the crowds of people partying and dancing to the loud blaring music and attempted to lush through the crowd to get to her. Sophie grabbed his arm and stopped him, looking him in the eyes. She leaned over to him and whispered something seductively in his ear. Before he had chance to react, he was making out with Sophie roughly and he was completely unaware of what he was doing. Rydel watched them, her heart breaking in two before making her way to the stair case and going upstairs, tears flooding down her cheeks. Ellington pulled away from the kiss but it was too late. The damage was done.

"No. No no no no no no no." Ellington mumbled under his breath as the video feed went dead. He began to panic, not knowing what to do and hoping that it wasn't real. Before he had chance to do anything, the video feed on the camera came back on. This time the video feed was of Rocky dancing shirtless on a table. But that's not what caught his attention. In the corner of the room, he could see Sophie sneaking down the stairs holding joey in her arms tightly. She looked around and established that no one was watching her before leaving the house with joey in her arms.

Ellington dropped the video camera and sat down in shock. Not only was Rydel gone but Joey had been kidnapped by his birth mother.
