Falling for her/him

Chapter 57

Amanda's POV

I finally get to go get my kids today. They've been with my Mum for a bit and I miss them both so much. I miss being a family with my children and Simon. A.J.'S second birthday is coming up soon so, I'm gonna invite a few people over for her birthday party. I into my Mum's driveway and get out with Simon right behind me. I walk in the house and call my Mom's name but no answer. I yell Eric and A.J's name but still no answer. I walk around the house and still no sign of them. I walk into my mother's room and she's laying there with her eyes open just crying.

"Mum, what's wrong where are the kids?" I ask.

"They t-took them." she cries and moves the blanket to reveal a gash in her side.

"Mum, who? What did they take?" I ask beginning to get frantic.

"The kids. They were wearing masks." she whispers and then closes her eyes.

"MUM!" I scream and Simon comes running in and then freezes.

"Amanda, she's gone." Simon yells, trying to pull me away with his arm.

"NO!" I scream and then collapse in Simon's arms.

"Where are the kids?" Simon whispers.

"Someone took them." I whine and hold Simon even tighter.

"I'm calling the cops." Simon says and gets up, leaving me in floor.

-20 minutes later-

The cops are interviewing us and once they are done they tell us to go home. My whole life is starting to crumble and I get in the car and just ball up in my seat, crying.

"Mandy." Simon sighs.

"Don't" I whisper. He lets out a heavy sigh and then drives home. I cry until finally everything goes black.

Alesha's POV

I'm laying on the couch when my phone starts ringing loudly and it's Simon.

"Hello." I whisper.

"Hey Alesha." he sighs.

"What's wrong love?" I ask.

"Amanda's mom was killed and the kids are missing." he says and I can tell he's holding back on trying not to cry.

"Oh my God! Are you okay?" I ask, grabbing my keys about to head over there.

"Yeah. Alesha, I really need someone." he whimpered.

"Okay, David and I will head over right now." I say and hang up the phone. "David." I yell up the stairs.

"Yes?" he says and walks down the stairs.

"Hey babe, wanna come with me to Simon's?" I ask softly.

"Sure." he says and I can tell he was crying but just keep going because it's what helps him. We drive to Simon's and go to knock on the door. He answers immediately and when I see him he looks strong but smells strongly of alchole.

"David, why don't you check on Mandy and I'll take care of him." I smile and he nods, walking up the stairs. I let myself in and Simon is only a little tipsy. "Do all you men drink when something goes wrong?" I ask

"Why do you mean every man?" he chucles.

"David, does the same exact thing." I laugh.

"AH, great minds think alike especially when a beautiful girl is around." he says, looking me in the eyes.

"Alright, let's go get you sobered up." I sigh and lead him to the kitchen. I make a pot of coffee and he's just staring at me. "Why you staring Cowell?" I ask.

"Oh, sorry, just thinking." he sighs.

"Alright." I say, pouring a cup of coffee for him and myself, then sitting on the counter. He starts drinking and after awhile he's finally sobered up.  He walks in front of me and stands between my legs."Si, you can talk to me." I sigh.

He nods his head and looks away, pursing his lips and then sniffling. "Yeah I know." He cries.

"So, talk to me." I whisper.

"My kids are gone. I don't know where they are and I was suppose to protect them." He cried harder and hides his face in my shoulder.

"Shhhh okay Simon." I whisper and kiss his head. "We are gonna get through this." I say softly.

David's POV

I walk up the stairs to Amanda's room and she's in a ball on her bed. I slowly walk towards her and slide in beside her. She turns over and once she sees me she moves closer to me and puts her head on my chest.

"What's going on?" I whisper.

"My mom was killed and my kids were kidnapped." she cries and balls her fist into my button up.

"Manda." I sigh.

"T-that's what Eric called me." she sobbed harder.

"Mandy, look at me." I whisper, placing my finger under her chin. She looks up at me and her eyes are red and puffy. Her face wet from all the tears and her bottom lip quivering.

"I can't do this anymore. Please David, just kill me so I don't have to suffer anymore." she sobs even harder and tries to get away from me but I hold her tighter so she will stop struggling.

"You know I can't do that Amanda." I whisper holding her tighter.

"WHY! JUST KILL ME!" she yells and starts hitting my chest really hard.
