Battles (A Shaytards Fanfiction)

Forgive and Forget?

Avia's POV:

All 5 of us gathered in Emmi's bedroom. I took her hand and stared straight into her eyes.
"Why did you do that?" I asked in a stern voice.
I had to act fierce so she wouldn't repeat such a dangerous thing again. But all I wanted to do was hug and thank her for protecting us.
"Dad wae bound to hurt one of us," Emmk started, playing with her pink bracelet.
"Yeah..." I trailed off.
"It couldn't be Gavin. Who would help Mom? It couldn't be you. You're weak. It couldn't be Brock or Daxton. There were too young. It had to be me," Emmi said.
I was confused. Why did she say what she said?
"If I said those stuff, he was bound to get mad and hurt me. I figure you guys could escape and call the police for abusing us all this time. But he reacted in a way I admit, I did not expect," Emmi shrugged.
"Emmi! You are the bravest young girl I have ever seen!" I cried, hugging her tightly.
Who cares if what she did was dangerous? She didn't get injured and anyway, she deserved it.
"Thank you. But don't do that again," Gavin whispered.
"Are you guys going to forgive Dad?" Emmi asked once we ended the hug.
"Let's not plan and just go with the flow," I said after 2 minutes.

Emmi's POV:

All 5 of us went to living room and watched a movie.
"I'm going to the bathroom," I lied.
I slipped to Dad's room. He was asleep on his bed, but woke up when I walked in.
"Emmi, I'm so sorry," Dad sobbed.
"Dad, I forgive you. On a few conditions," I said calmly.
"Anything, sweetie, anything," Dad sobbed.
"First, break up with Rose. Second, no more abusing us. Lastly, help Mom," I said.
"Yes! I will break up with Rose when I go to the Trixin warehouse tomorrow. I'll only stay an hour, then I'll take all of you for lunch," Dad nodded.
I hugged him then walked out the door. I went back to the couch.
We finshed watching the movie. The boys walked to their own rooms.
Avia and I remained.

Avia's POV:

"Emmi... I don't know if I can make it," I whispered, taking her hand.
My body was getting weaker and I would constantly get headaches and throw up.
I was afraid. Afraid of dying.
"Make it? I don't understand," Emmi said apologetically.
I sighed. I should have known. Emmi was nice and kindhearted. But she was still a little girl.
She understood but not as much as me. She was young and didn't know a lot. But I knew once I explained it to her, she would umderstand and make me feel better.
"I mean that I don't know if I can beat this cancer. I'm getting weaker everyday," I said, a tear slipping out my eye.
She immediately enveloped me in a hug.
"Avia, don't say that. You have to do your best to fight. Try," Emmi whispered, patting my back.
"I'll try, Emmi. But I don't know if I can," I sobbed.
"Shhh. It'll all be fine," Emmi said soothingly.
She held me in her arms while I cried. Soon, there were no more tears to cry.
And it was lunchtime. We headed to the dining table. It was spaghetti day, my favorite.

Emmi's POV:

"Everyone? Please listen. I'm sorry. For being a total jerk. But, I will not break up with Rose. I love her. I can't do it," Dad said loudly.
I was furious. He said he would. He was a liar. He hadn't changed.
"YOU'RE A LIAR! YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULD BREAK UP WITH HER, YOU IDIOT!" I screamed.
I grabbed a handful of spaghetti and threw it at him. I was mad. I couldn't control myself. I spilled my water all over him. He flipped the table over. I ran.
I ran and ran outside. I ran to Casey's house. I ran in and yelled Casey's name.
I had no idea what I was doing. Casey came running. He looked worried.
"MY DAD TURNED INTO A MONSTER! YOU HAVE TO HELP ME, CASEY!" I sobbed.
"I'll help talk to him. You stay here with Kayli and the kids first, okay? I'll send Colette and you siblings here. Calm down, sweetie," Casey said gently.
He called the cops and ran for our house. Kayli came in. She hugged me and led me to the living room where she let me lie down.

Avia's POV:

I grabbed Daxton and Brock and pulled them away. Mom took Gavin. Dad went insane.
He kicked the window till the glass shattered. He punched the wall till his fists bled.
He kicked at the over-turned table, all while screaming. Mom was crying. She took us outside.
Casey came running.
"I've called the cops. They're coming. You guys go over to my house. Emmi's there. I'll go settle him. You guys stay put, okay?" Casey said hurriedly.
"Thank you. Casey, don't get too near. He turned into a monster," Mom sobbed.
"Don't worry. You take your kids and yourself to safety. I'll be fine. Family help each other out," Casey smiled sadly, walking into the house.
The 5 of us ran to Casey's house. We found Kayli, Emmi, Gage, Brailee and Winston in the living room.
I told Emmi what happened after we ran. I sobbed into Gavin's shoulders.
Mom was full-on wailing. Kayli had her arms aeound her, whispering soothing words.
Brailee hugged Emmi tightly as Emmi sobbed. Daxton and Brock had no idea what was happening, except it wasn't good, so th3y cried too while Gage hugged them.

Casey's POV:

My brother really had turned into a monster. The table was over-turned. The window was broken. The wall was covered in dents and blood.
"Shay, relax," I said in a loud, firm voice.
He looked at me. His face was red and filled with fury. He picked up a plate and threw it at me.
I managed to duck in time. He made no more move to hurt me.
"I know you're mad. You just have to calm down," I tried again.
He threw a chair at me. I ducked again. The police burst into the room.
"Put your hands up!" They yelled.
I put mine up, even though I was innoncent. I explained what happened. They asked me to go back to my house while they settled him.
A policeman would come over later to question us. I nodded and headed back home.
My job was done. I did what I had to do as an Uncle, as a Brother and as a Brother-In-Law. I did what was best for family. Family.

Avia's POV:

Casey came in, looking shaken up. He tried to hide it. But, I knew Dad... or Monster... tried to hurt him.
"What did he do to you?" Emmi beat me to it.
"Oh, nothing," Casey said casually.
"Casey," I said sternly.
"Well, he threw a plate and a chair at me when I tried to talk to him. But I managed to duck in time. Don't worry," Casey said hurriedly.
"Casey, I'm sorry," Mom started.
"Poptarts!" Casey interrupted, hurrying into the kitchen.
It was obvious he just wanted a subject change. He came back with 10 boxes of cookies&cream poptarts.
We all munched on them (Dax shared with Winston) 15 minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Emmi's POV:

Casey went to see who it was. He came back with a policeman.
"Hello. My name is Mr Davidson and I am going to question all of you about Mr Shay," Mr Davidson said in a friendly voice.
He sat down on the couch and took out a notepad and pen.
"So, when did this abusing start?" Mr D asked.
We spent 30 minutes answering questions. Then, came the conclusion.
"We're going to have to put him in jail for another year," Mr D sighed.
"Good!" I sassed.
Mr D said good-bye and left. The other policemen were still helping repair the house so we slept at Casey's.

1 year later

Colette's POV:

At 9:30, a cab pulled up outside. Shay walked out. His face was... emotionless. He hadn't changed.
The kids and I were on the couch. He walked in a sat next to me.
"I'm not going to break up with Rose," Shay said.
"Well, divorce it is!" I yelled.

Emmi's POV:

Avia was asleep when Mom yelled that. I shook her, but she didn't wake up.
"MOMMY! AVIA ISN'T WAKING UP!" I screamed.
