Chapter 15: more problems

*Madeline's POV*
I woke up to finding Kayla still next to me. I got up gently to not wake her up when I got up I went downstairs.
"So do you guys know why Kayla isn't talking and completely clingy to me and Jordan?" I asked the guys as they all said no. It's weird kids don't usually go mute unless they got told to or they were born with it.
"She couldn't have gone mute could she?" Jordan asked with concerned eyes.
"No not unless she was born with it or-" I caught myself off." Jacob! He must of told her something to set her off!" I yelled as I got up and started pacing while thinking.
"I still don't see why he did that to a five year old or how he even knew that she was related now." Harry pointed out. "Wait who was that kid anyway?" Harry asked as I sat back down next to Jordan and sighed.
"He was a jock at my old school. He wanted girls for one thing and one thing only. He hurt my best friend that way. So I got my payback... I kicked his ass then told the whole school about what he's done. One day he pulled me into the janitors closet and beat me. Yes I fought back until he grabbed me into choke hold. Janitor walked in and saw. We were sent to the office. Of corse he lied but the principal didn't listen to anymore of his lies. I got him expelled and kicked out of the school he loved. Rumors had it his mom sent him to boarding school. Ever since then he has been looking for me too get payback and he did he just took it out on the wrong girl." I explained as they as nodded. We heard someone walk down the stairs and Kayla sat on my left lap and Jordan's right. She leaned back on us.
"Princess why are you not talking anymore?" She pointed to the price of paper and pencil. I picked it up and she wrote down " he said speek abot what he tod me and I dy." She wrote as I pulled her completely in my lap and made her look in my face.
"He will not hurt you anymore. I will hurt him before he has the chance. Kayla you have to start speaking again. It's bad if you don't. At least try please." I said as she shook her head no. I gave her to Jordan and went upstairs. this pissed me off. Not only he almost killed me, but he has told her something and threatened her. I sat on my bed and started to write in my song book. I put on headphones and blasted Nirvana songs.
"Maddie open up please." I thought I heard someone say something to I took out my head phones and said what.
"Can I come in" dad asked as I said sure. He walked in and sat next to me.
"Why did you come upstairs?" I shrugged.
"I just feel bad that she won't talk because of him. She won't even write down what he said to her. I just," I sighed," I've been told to go mute before and been threatened if I didn't it sucks. Plus she's 5 if she doesn't start talking again there is a chance she won't talk anymore." I said as I sat down my stuff.
"I know Maddie. But we just have to give her time and she'll start speaking again. I mean you did." He said as I scoffed.
"Yeah after I ran away." I said.
"Well maybe when we go to Mexico she'll talk again knowing he can't hurt her." Dad said as I nodded. He kissed my forehead and left. I put my headphones back on and went back to writing my songs. I started hearing something knocking at my window so I put down my stuff and opened it.
"Hello?" I yelled. I saw a boy standing there.
"Hi." I was confused.
"Who are you?" I asked as he started to climb up the tree.
"Evan Evan Smith." He answered as I looked at him weirdly.
"Why are you here."
" because I was looking for a Jordan."
"Why didn't you just knock on the front door?"
"Because I wanted to see who his cousin was."
"Once again there's a door." I said as he rolled his eyes and climbed in my window.
"There's also a window." He said as I scoffed. I grabbed his arm and pulled him downstairs.
"Jordan Monkey boy here came to see you and I swear if he climbs threw my window again I'm pushing him out of it." I said walking away. I saw Kayla sitting in the corner so I walked up to her.
"Hey why are you by yourself?" I asked as she opened her mouth but closed it and shrugged. I sighed.
"Kayla please talk. He won't hurt you I won't let him you know that. At least just talk to me and it can be our little secret." I said as she nodded.
"I-I wanted to tttthink." She said stuttering.
"Think about what?"
"What he s-s-said."
"What did he say?" She shrugged.
"Okay just tell me when your ready okay?" She nodded.
"Wanna play the guitar?" She shook her head no.
"No I-I wanna sit here." She said as I nodded and got up. I put on my shoes and walked over to Evan and Jordan.
"If my dad asks I went on a walk to think." I told Jordan as he looked at me confusedly but then nodded. I grabbed my phone off the table and put on my headphones blasting my "Punk Rock" playlist. I walked to Hollywood Park. I sat in front of a rock as I started to think. I closed my eyes leaning my head against it.
"Hey are you okay?" I heard someone say kicking my foot gently. I opened my eyes and saw Macy.
"Yeah I'm okay. Aren't you Macy the one who helped me in the plane?" I asked as she nodded.
"Oh yeah. How have you been?" She asked as I caught her up from the plane to now.
"Cool well I hope your cousin starts talking again." She said giving me a sympathetic look.
"Yeah I do too I mean she did a little but only to me." I said as she nodded. We exchanged phone numbers.
"Hey I have to go. You should to it looks like it may rain." She said as I nodded. I said bye as I put my headphones on walking home. I bumped into something. I got back up seeing that it was Jacob. I scoffed.
"Wow. You didn't die? I wish so did your cousin talk?" He asked smirking.
"As a matter of fact she didn't. And I would like to know before I kick your ass. Again." My turn to smirk as he shot me a glare.
" I'm not telling you." He said shoving me and walking away. I grabbed his wrist and yanked him back.
"What the fuck did you tell her to make her stop talking and by the way the eating a five year old is low lower then you!" I screamed as he turned around and punched me. The adrenaline pumping threw me stopped the pain from the punch.
"She did tell. I'm going to kill her." He said walking off. What did I just do. I called Jordan.
"Hello?"
"Hide Kayla right now."
"Why?"
"Do it! He is coming for her and I'm not seeing her hurt again. I'm gonna get the police lock every window and door. Jacob let's say is in a gang Jensen the reason he beats girl no matter what age." I said as he said okay. We hung up and I ran all the way to the police department. I ran in.
"Hello I need to speak to a police officer right now." I told the lady behind the desk she called for Renee.
"What can I do for you?" Renee asked as I told her everything.
"He's in some type of a gang. Don't ask I just know him from school but he's after my cousin. I told my cousins brother to lock every door and window and to hide her because Jacobs capable to do anything." I explained as we got into her cop car. We drove to my house with back up in the way. The door was broke down and I ran as fast as I could. I heard a scream and ran upstairs to seeing everyone tied up and Kayla in a room. I was beyond pissed.
"Where is she?"
"Your room" Jordan said. Renee and other police untied them I told them to wait. I walked into my room quietly as Kayla was in the corner and Jacob I front of her. She looked at me as I rose a finger to my lips she nodded and looked back at him. I coughed he turned around.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" I asked him as he took a step forward and I took one back getting him away from her.
"You! You should be tied. Evan tie her up." He said as I back up into him not realizing it. As he went to grab me I head butted him in the jaw. I tackled Jacob to the ground getting on top of him as Kayla ran out to Renee.
