Intoxicated Hearts (Beau Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter 39

Please read the authors note at the bottom! x

BEAUS POV:

"They have been in there for a while," Luke whispers to me as we crouch behind the bush right out the front of the door.

"Shh," I whisper as I hear the door creak open. I look through the small gap in the leaves to see two middle sized guys walking out of the door laughing. Looking through the door I can't see Grace or Ellie anywhere so I nod to Luke.

"Now," I whisper, Luke nods at me before we jump out front the bush and knock the two guys to the ground.

"What the fuck!" the one I am punching screams.

"WHERE ARE THEY?" I scream at him as I punch his face multiple times.

"STOP AND I WILL TELL YOU!" he shouts, I stop punching him then hold him down for him to tell me.

"Where are they?" I say sternly through gritted teeth.

He smirks, "Probably at the bottom of the lake by now." I look up through the door to see water being splashed out of the ground then look back down at the sicko beneath me.

"FUCK YOU!" I scream before punching him in the face knocking him out and possibly killing him. By now Luke has already made the other guy pass out.

"I-I think I k-killed him," Luke stares at me in horror.

"Don't worry about that now, we need to get Ellie and Grace!" I say running into the house and seeing a gate over a hole in the floors. I open it then jump in to see Ellie and Grace sinking to the bottom of the river. Swimming down I grab Grace first as she is closer than swim up and hand her to Luke to pull her out. I then take a deep breath and swim down to Ellie grabbing her fragile body. Grabbing her arm I pull her up with me and reach the surface.

"Luke help," I splutter as he runs back to me to pull her out.

"Go help Grace," I say pushing him over to her and grabbing Ellie's wrist to find a pulse. I find none so I start to revive her hoping there is a chance.

"NO ELLIE PLEASE WAKE UP!" I scream at her limp body lying below me. I press my mouth to hers and pump air into her lungs trying to revive her. Luke is doing the same to Grace but isn't having much luck.

"Please Ellie," I sob as I try to pump air back into her chest. Her lips are getting bluer and bluer by the second, I can feel a slight pulse though so that means there is still hope.

"They're gone," Luke cries sitting down looking defeated. I stare over to Graces limp body then back to Ellie's.

"Keep trying," I say to him before puffing air into Ellie's mouth. Luke doesn't move, he just sits there in a mess.

"LUKE! KEEP TRYING!" I shout at him sternly.

"WHAT'S THE POINT BEAU?" he screams at me.

"THEY ARE DYING!" I scream back, "JUST FUCKING DO SOMETHING!"

Luke immediately gets up and starts to revive Grace again. My mind flashes back to when I found Ellie in her room after she tried to kill herself. She looks exactly like that but cold and more weaker than she was.

I continue to pump oxygen into her as he pulse stays at the same low rate. Just as I am about to give up Ellie starts coughing and spluttering water out of her lungs.

I sigh in relief and cradle her head in my lap, "You're okay." I look over to Luke to see Grace coughing which is a good sign.

Ellie looks up at me and smiles slightly, "You saved me."

"I will never let you go," I whisper smiling.

"Where's Grace?' she asks trying to sit up.

"She's with Luke, she's okay," I reassure her as I stroke her forehead.

"Where are the two guys?" Ellie asks me looking into my eyes with fear.

"Outside, we knocked them out," I answer.

"Thankyou," she whispers looking over to the far corner of the room. Following her gaze I look over to see her mum covered in blood.

I put my head down knowing she is dead, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," she replies sitting up and looking around.

"When will this ever be over?" Luke asks cradling Grace in his arms.

"Mum said to go into the cupboard over there and look in the box. It will answer all our questions," Grace murmurs. I get up and walk over to the cupboard opening it hesitantly. A disgusting smell fills my nostrils as I observe the dead carcass hanging from the hangers.

"Ugh," I groan as I feel around for this box Grace speaks of. I finally find it and shut the cupboard gasping for fresh air.

"What was that?" Luke says scrunching his nose.

"Something dead," I answer holding up the middle sized box.

"Open it," Grace says. I bring it over to them and place it the middle of us all then open it. Inside there is a photo album, envelope and a tiny box.

"It says to read the letter first, then look at the photo album then look at what's in the tiny box," Luke reads the little set of instructions that are on the box.

"Okay, we will do that then," Ellie says looking at me to open the envelope. I open it carefully and start to read to them what's on the paper.

Dear Ellie and Grace,

Firstly I want to say sorry. I can't believe how much trouble I have caused my baby girls in their lives. If I had known any of this would have affected you I would not have done it. I don't expect you to feel sorry for me, I was a horrible mother and I regret it so much because I now know how much this has hurt you both.

Grace, you were starved and beaten to death and tortured on daily basis. I can't describe how sorry I am for that. Just knowing the stuff they were doing to you killed me inside, trust me if I had stepped in they would have killed you straight away but that's no excuse.

I heard from Max that you tried to kill yourself Ellie. I had no idea until I found out that you were 'dead' even though you weren't. That day I felt like killing myself but I couldn't, I had to keep both you and Grace safe. He was coming for you and I had to stop him. He probably has told you already why he has wanted to make your life miserable. Please know that what he says is probably true, yes I did kill his girls but it was because of the things people were forcing me to do.

I can't explain why they made me do these things but please know in the start I thought it would benefit us all. Turns out it didn't and I just sucked us in more and more each day. As soon as I killed them two I fled for a few days until it was 'safe'. That's where Grace was for a few days and how you got so bad. You witnessed what I did to them and it was too much for you to handle, it is too much for anyone to handle.

I am the reason why you were sent to that place in Sydney. I told your dad that you were in a car accident and the trauma caused you to be like that. He believed it for a few years but I couldn't take the guilt, I told him the truth when you would have turned 17. This is when Beau had come back and Ellie found him again.

Beau please take care of my daughters, you too Luke. You are both their rocks, nothing matters when you are with them. Ellie would tell me all the time Beau about how you are the best boyfriend. I do believe her and please spend as much time you can with her. Keep her safe, do what I didn't do. Same goes to you Luke, I saw the way you and Grace connected when Ellie brought her home. Please just keep them both safe.

As for you Ellie and Grace life will get better, I promise. As soon as Max is either put in Jail or killed your life will be hassle free. I promise you, when he goes your problems will go as well. Maybe not all of them, but the ones like this will.

I am sorry I can't be there with you two today. As I was writing this I was thinking of all the things I will miss. I will miss you graduating school, your university acceptances, your weddings, your first kids with your partners, your achievements and many more things.

Just know that I love you both so much and I will look over you. I will try to do a better job up in heaven then I did down here. Also know that things do get better. I love you my baby girls.

Love mum. Xxx

I look up to Ellie and Grace as I finish, they both have tears in their eyes. We all sit in silence for a bit taking in what was just said.

"Can we look at the photo album please," Ellie says changing the subject. I nod and put the paper in its envelope carefully and take out the photo album then hand it to her and Grace.

Ellie opens the book and looks through all the baby and family photos. Smiles form on Ellie and Graces faces as they flick through the pages.

"I never knew we had these," Ellie says.

"Neither did I," Grace says, "Wait there is a little message in the back."

"It's double the giggles and double the grins, and double the trouble if you're blessed with twins," she reads out smiling.

"That is too true," Ellie laughs, "What's in the box?"

I take the box and open it showing them the contents. Out falls a little note saying 'You may be a twin but you are one of a kind'. Inside there is two bracelets that have a little heart with a tiny diamond in each.

"They're perfect," Ellie whispers as I put the bracelets around their wrists.

"Thanks mum," Grace says gesturing up to the sky.

"Let's get going, we should report this," Ellie says trying her best to get up. We all nod in agreement and Luke and I help the girls up. When we are outside Luke takes out his phone and calls the police station and reports the incident.

"Did you kill them?" Ellie asks looking down at the two guys in front of us. I nod slightly ashamed with myself, did we really have a choice?

"Thankyou," she whispers kissing me softly. We all wait for the police to arrive in silence. Within twenty minutes they arrive and take the bodies and what not.

"Now I am guessing by the blood on you two this was self defence?" one officer says pointing to Luke and I's hands which are covered in blood.

"Yes officer," I nod in agreement.

"Okay and your mother was killed by them?" the officer asks Grace and Ellie.

"Yes sir," Ellie answers holding the box firmly in her arms.

"Okay well in the next few days we will bring you down to the station for a full statement, other than that you're free to go unless you need medical treatment," the officer informs us.

"We're fine thankyou sir," Grace says.

"Very well then," he replies and gets on with his investigation. The girls, Luke and I start to walk back to the car to go home. Before we know it we are in the car on the way home.

"You two okay?" I ask the girls looking at them in the mirror.

"Just fine," Grace mumbles.

"I just need to go home," Ellie mumbles and closes her eyes falling into a deep sleep.

Just as we pull into my driveway Luke and I look at the girls.

"Should we wake them?" Luke asks.

"Nah just try to take them into their rooms, stay with Grace if you want to," I say to him getting out of the car.

"Alright," Luke says picking up Grace in his arms.

"Hey Luke," I say to him making him turn around to face me.

"Yeah?" he answers.

"Thanks for helping them," I say.

He smiles slightly before turning around and walking away.

"Wouldn't have had it any other way."
