Aminta's POV

I was sweating buckets. That was a tough practice. But it was nice to get my mind off of my past for a little while. I went to the wall and slid my back down it, out of breath. Glitch plopped down right next to me.

"Tired?" He asked me.

"Are you seriously asking me that?" I look at him with my mouth open and my eyes drooping. I barely slept the night before because of the chaos going on. I gave him a small smile as he then rested his head back against the wall, looking at the ceiling.

"Yo. you guys look beat. You should take it down a few. Go catch up on some Z's yeah?" Mo suggested. I got up slowly.

"No need to tell me twice." My eyelids already feel like 500 pounds. Glitch stands up with me as we walk arm in arm to the door. We get greeted by an unexpected visitor.

"M-mom?" Glitch studdered.

"Hello Jordan." She seemed super tense.

"May.. Wha - what are you doing here?" I asked scared to hear if my father came too.

"I came to bring Jordan home. Your father is very upset about this. And Aminta. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Leaving your father like that. He's all you have left and you treat him that way." She shook her head in disgust. I turned around and no one else was in the room. They all fled and I could unerstand why.

"May you don't understand. I thought you were one of the only people that would. " I said harshly choking back tears. I paused. "Who brainwashed you? Are you insane? I don't want to leave. Nor do I need to. And I'm almost positive that my mother would not approve. So don't tell me how to feel May. You don't know what my dad did to me!" I yelled at her.

"Aminta, just hear me out-" She said calmly avoiding eye contact.

"No! You listen to me! I'm not going anywhere with that scyco that I'm related too. Don't force me to do any worse. I already feel bad as it is. I lost my mom. My dad. And now I lost you May. You were like my other mom, May. I don't know what's gotten into you, but it's as if I don't know who you are anymore." I wanted to regret what i just said but I don't. I gave her a glare and tried to look at her clearly but my eyes became blurry with tears. A wave of awkward silence washed over the entire room.

"Well then." She fixed her posture. "I appologize about my past behavior." I heard her getting choked up. "It's not like I m-mean too." I could see a tear escaping her eyes. " Y-your f-father he..." she looked immediately looked back eyes widened. "H-he just misses you and it makes me sad." I could read her like a book that what she said wasn't what she was thinking.

"May. please. Just tell me the truth."

"That was the-"

"Tell me.. The truth." I said sternly. She looked behind her. Her face full of fear.

"I was...." She looked to me. "I was.... Telling.... Th-the.. The..." She was lying. I could see it in her face

"Why are you lying to me!? You never would do that! What is it May? What is it!"

"Aminta!" She ran towards me and hugged me tight which caught me by surprise. "Run. Run right now. Go. Your father's outside. You know this place better than he does. Go! Go with Glitch please!" She begged me. I could see my father standing in the doorway with a death glare no one could miss. My eyes widened as I looked to May.

"I'm not leaving without you."

"Aminta. No I-"

"You are all I have left!" I begged. Glitch was still standing in the middle of the room shocked that he couldn't move. I looked to him.

"Glitch. Get. Help. GLITCH GET HELP RIGHT NOW!" I scream. He snapped out of his daze as he ran for the back door of the studio. I looked back to my father in the doorway. "You left me! With mom! Alone! And you expect me to stay with you and follow your every move like a puppy?!"

"It wasn't-"

"It WAS! You threatened her into doing this! Didn't you? Didn't you!" I clenched my fists.

"It was the only way. She's your biggest influence. I knew you wouln't listen to me. It was just another way around it you see."

" no. that was not true in anyway. She may be a guide but never my number one influence. Mom was! And you didn't even come to help her! You didn't even care!"

"Don't you dare bring your mother into this young lady."

"Who else is involved? If you were an influence on me. You would've come and cared for me when I was young. And when mom needed you most! You were never there! I didn't even know you were still alive and suddenly you want to be an influence! NO!I refuse!"

"I was in the Navy! I should be an influence to people all around the world Aminta! Don't you talk about me like that! Your mother-"

"Would be proud of me!" A silence filled the room full of tension. I clenched my fist too much that they turned purple and I couldn't feel them.

"We are leaving." He barked.

"I am not going anywhere with a psyco like you."

"I am not going to repeat myself again. Let's go. We're leaving. Now." He bagn walking into the room. Luckily May already fled out of the backdoor.

"No." It was just me and him. I was scared to death but I couldn't show it.

"You left me with no choice." he stormed right to be and squeezed both my arms really hard and lifted me off the ground. I kicked my legs at him as hard as I could but it was as if he legs were made of steel.

"Stop it stop it! Let me go."

"We're leaving! Right-" he didn't say anything else after that. Instead his grip loosened and we both dropped to the floor. But instead, I didn't pass out.

I looked up to see Glitch with a frying pan breathing heavily. I instantly got up and cried as I wrapped my arms around him tightly.

"Don't leave me, don't leave me." I cried in his shirt. He dropped the pan and hugged be back.

"I won't I won't. I promise. I won't. Shh. it's okay." he ran his hand on my head trying to calm me down.

"A frying pan?" I hear someone say. I opened my eyes to see Rasa and everyone rush in.

"We came as quick as we... could..." Mo's voice trailed off as he saw us with my passed out dad on the ground.

"It's okay it's okay." I was still very freaked out from what happened that I wouldn't stop crying. Glitch still was comforting me. I then saw May come into the room. She quickly ran over to us.

"Oh! You guys are okay! Thank Jesus!" She wrapped her arms around us both as we sunk to the ground all crying. The rest of the crews ended up joining our group hug. After a while we all let go as I wiped my tears smiling.

"Aha. That was nice." My smile then faded. "I'm sorry everyone. This was all my fault."

"No. It's not. Don't blame yourself for this Aminta. You did nothing wrong." Glitch reasured. We heard a groaning coming from the floor. I instantly jumped back and scrambled to the wall, hitting my back hard.I felt like my ears were suddenly blocked as everything ounded ever so distant. A bunch of Bodyguards then came into the room and took my half consious dad out of the room to I don't know where. All I could hear was my heart pounding. Everything began to go in slow motion and very blurry. Glitch came in front of me, kneeling down.

"Aminta. Are you okay?" He said very slowly. My eyes fluttered as my head began slowly tilting to one side. "Aminta. Hold..on...." I could barely hear his voice or see him at all. " hold on...." My eyes closed and the noise stopped. 

A/N: I feel like this chapter is wayy intense. I'm sorry! these chapters I write are like soo depressing. What's wrong with me!!!!
