Intoxicated Hearts (Beau Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter 37

Omg guys I am so sorry this is late! I am lazy, I know! :(((

ELLIES POV:

We have been looking for her for five hours now and still have nothing. Why would they come back for her? I don’t understand, mum left so shouldn’t everything be okay?

"Come on Ellie, it's late," Beau says putting his palm on my upper back for comfort. We are currently sitting on a park bench by ourselves.

"I have to find her," I sob silently to myself.

"We will, I will call the police first thing tomorrow morning and they will find her," he says to me soothingly.

"SHE COULD BE DEAD BY TOMORROW!" I scream at him as the tears flow out of my eyes. He jolts back with a shocked look at my outburst but then hugs me tightly.

"She won’t be okay, you need sleep Ellie," he says as he rubs my back.

"I can't sleep," I sob into his chest.

"You haven't tried El," he chuckles to himself as he picks me up and carries me home.

Once we arrive home he puts me into my bed and lies down beside me. I snuggle up to his chest and watch him browse twitter on his phone. After ten minutes I can feel my eyes drooping as I stare at the bright screen that lights up my room.

Beau looks down at me and whispers, "Go to sleep baby girl, I love you."

"I love you too," I answer while he kisses my forehead softly. I shut my eyes and soon enough fall into a deep sleep.

BEAUS POV:

"HELP!" Ellie screams waking me up from my deep sleep. She is sitting up panting and crying with her head in her hands.

"Ellie what happened?" I ask hugging her tightly.

"I thought I w-was drowning," she sobs violently as her body shakes.

"Shh it's okay, you’re alright," I whisper trying to calm her small body. She seems so helpless, so fragile… I need to keep her safe and at the same time find Grace.

"Come on let's go back to sleep," I say softly stroking her hair.

"I don’t want to sleep," she cries at what she just experienced. To be honest if I was her right now I wouldn’t want to sleep either.

"Come here," I say holding my arms out for her to crawl into. She snuggles up to my chest and her sobs become faint. After an hour of not speaking or doing anything I hear her lightly breathing against my chest. I look down to find her soundly asleep and breathing normally again.

I want her life to be normal again, I want my Ellie to have her life back…

GRACES POV:

"W-where am I?" I ask mum who is sitting silently on the other side of the cabin.

"Hell," she answers simply. As massive bang occurs making me shudder with fright. A bright light blinds me as the massive door that exits the cabin opens. Standing there is a man dressed in all black, I have never seen him before.

"Ah Grace, you finally returned," he says walking over to me and bending down beside me. His hot breath smells of tobacco and alcohol and his bushy moustache has food stuck in it. Heaving at the smell of his body odour mixed with his breath I look down at the ground silently crying.

"Do we have any more information on Ellie's whereabouts?" the man asks another guy who just walked into the room.

"She is looking for her Max," the guy scoffs pointing to me.
