Intoxicated Hearts (Beau Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter 26

Sorry if there is mistakes guys, I am still so tired from my birthday party ahaha! Next update will be around Thursday because I have cheerleading for my competition this Saturday! :)

ELLIES POV:

"Back when mum was pregnant with Ashley she was involved in something. Something that she should have never done. I hated her for it, the only thing that kept us together were you kids. She took a locket from these people to stop something from happening. I don’t know what but she did. Ever since then these people have been after her and the locket. When they found out Grace was in hospital they must of taken her and used you kids to get back at her. But her being the heartless selfish thing she is did nothing about it," dad replies.

"Wait, so mum knew about everything that was happening?" I ask him. He nods with a apologetic look on his face.

Anger shakes through me as I take in what has just been said. How could my own mother do this to us?

"What is in the locket?" I ask as my hands shake with fury.

"A diamond worth millions of dollars," dad answers. My mouth drops open, a million dollar diamond has been in my house all this time? What was mum thinking? Oh wait, she wasn’t thinking at all.

"So she put Grace through all of this to protect herself?" I ask slightly yelling.

Dad nods slightly, "Ellie, mum was the one who made Grace the way she was."

"What," I answer through gritted teeth.

"Remember when mum took Grace down to the river that day and when she came back Grace was going mental?" dad asks me. I nod and look over to Grace who is silently crying.

"Well she took Grace to a hide out, I had no idea until she told me after Grace was sent away. I resented her for it, I wanted nothing to do with her. The only thing that kept me here was you kids," he says.

Tears fall from my eyes as I bury my face into Beau's shoulder. My own mother had done this to us. I killed someone because my mother put me into this mess. My sister was on the verge of dying because of her. Riley nearly died because of her.

"I hate her," I say.

"I figured that's how you would feel towards her," dad sighs. I sit there crying into Beaus shoulder. I can’t explain how I feel right now, there is so many emotions and thoughts running through my head it is crazy. Wow my life is so fucked up.

"Shh Ellie," Beau whispers as he rocks me gently. He kisses my head and hugs me tightly.

"I need to sleep," I sob.

"Come on," he says as he picks me up.

"Luke get Grace and bring her up to her room," Beau says, "Mr Lucas she wants to sleep."

"That's fine Beau, I think we all need some sleep around here," dad says. I can feel Beau walking towards my room before settling me down on my bed.

"Is Grace okay?" I ask.

"Luke will take care of her," Beau reassures me. He lays down next to me as I cuddle up to his warm body.

"What about Riley?" I ask.

"Jai is with him," he answers me. I nod my head and look up to the ceiling.

"My life is fucked," I whisper.

"No it's not baby," Beau whispers back sending shivers down my spine.

"It really is, my mum has fled, she is the reason all of us nearly died, I killed someone. How is my life not fucked?" I question him.
