Being One Of The Brooks (Janoskians)

Chapter 18

Maddie's P.O.V

* 2 weeks later*

I haven't eaten anything since the day I was taken. it's not that I didn't wan to eat, it was because he wouldn't feed me. Only 3 cups of water a day. I was beginning to become a lot skinner and the clothes I was wearing were becoming really loose on me and I kept getting dizzy and blacking out because of the lack of food I was having.

But that's not what I was worried about.

Was it true? Did my mum really try to kill me at birth? Did she really want nothing to do with me? Was it actually her fault dad left us?

So many question were running through my mind. Dad had left about 15 minutes ago to go somewhere, god knows where, but this was my chance. I had to try and find a way out of here.

Then it hit me.

My phone!

"Please be in here, please be in here, please be in here." I whispered as I checked my pockets of my jean shorts that I was wearing for my phone.

"Yes!" I whispered loudly as I took a breath of relief, pulling my phone out of my pocket, carefully not to drop it as my hands were still tied together. It's amazing that it wasn't dead because of how long it's been on for. Although, I haven't used it for 2 weeks and I had power saving mode on. I was at 3%, but it will do.

I quickly dialled the first person in my contact list. Beau.

I put it on loud speaker as I couldn't get the phone to reach my ears.

He picked up on the first ring.

"Maddy! Where are you!?" he screamed through the phone with joy and also worry in his voice.

"Beau please help me! I'm tied to a chair in what seems like a basement. Beau, please help me I'm scared!" I cried through the phone as quietly as I could without being heard.

"Shhh, baby it's okay. Do you have any idea where you might be? Is there a window you can see out of or anything like that?" He asked trying to calm me down.

"Umm...theres a window but all I can see out of it is trees. I don't know Beau, I'm really scared please!" I sobbed into the phone trying to make out as much scenery as I could without my vision going blurry.

"Maddie you listen to me okay, nothing is going to happen to you, you're going to be alright but I just need you to look around for something that might tell us a little bit more about where you might be. Could you do that for me babe?" he asked me trying to stay calm.

"I'll try but I'm tied to a chair." I told him trying to break free. I noticed a tall lamp about legs width away. I could use that to burn the rope off my hands. I kicked the rope off my feet and stretched out as far as I could to try and get the lamp around my foot to bring to closer.

GOT IT!

I dragged it closer and closer so I could lean it on the armrest of the chair where my arms were tied. I hurt so much, I could feel the heat of the lightbulb getting closer and closer to my flesh every second. I yelped in pain as I heard Beau try to calm me down on the other end of the phone. (Remember it was on loudspeaker)

"I got it!" I yelled to Beau while trying to regain my balance from sitting in the chair for so long.

"Good girl, now have a look around for a window or a door where you can escape from." Beau instructed me.

I grabbed my phone and stumbled over to the window. It was too high up to reach so I moved a wooden box over to stand on so I could open the window and climb out. Once I was out I ran as fast as I could to the nearest public place.

Luna Park.

" Beau, I'm out the front of Luna Park Please hurry." I told him as my vision became blurry and I slowly sat down on the floor so I wouldn't pass out.

About 15 minutes later I could hear footsteps running towards me. I got scared I thought it was my dad trying to take me away again. I kicked and screamed in panic as I felt strong arms around my body.

"Please let me go!" I screamed out. I stilled had my eyes closed. I was afraid to open them to see my father standing before me.

"Shhh, babe it's okay." Wait a minute...Luke? I slowly opened my eyes to see my big brother carrying me bridal style into the back of Beau's car.

"Luke?" I croaked out trying to move but it hurt too much

"Shhh, it's okay, you're safe now, just relax and have a rest. it's going to be okay." He reassured me while stroking my hair out of my face as I laid down on his lap in the back seat while Beau drove the car.

That was all I remember before I woke up...
