Falling for her/him

Chapter 58

David's POV

Amanda keeps hitting me harder and harder until she escapes and runs to the bathroom and slams the door behind her.

"Amanda! Let me in!" I yell, banging on the door. Simon and Alesha walk into the room and Simon bangs on the door.

"Babe, please let me in." he whispers and after a few moments Amanda opens the door and Simon's body collides with hers. They kiss and Simon pushes Amanda in the bathroom and shuts the door behind him

"Well, that went well." I whisper and Alesha laughs. She leads me downstairs and we sit on the couch, waiting for Simon and Amanda to come downstairs. The phone starts ringing and they haven't come downstairs yet so I answer.

"Hello." I say.

"Hello, is this Simon?" a female's voice replies.

"Cheryl?" I ask.

"Get Simon on the phone now or else he won't see his kids again." she yells and I hear A.J. crying in the background. I drop the phone and run upstairs, barging in the bathroom to see Simon and Amanda just talking.

"Simon, you need to get on the phone now!" I say with gritted teeth and he races after me down the stairs.

Simon's POV

I pick up the phone and say "Hello."

"Hey Simey." I hear a familiar voice say.

"Cheryl? Is that you?" I ask.

"I knew you would recognize my voice." she laughs. "Your kids are so sweet." she sighs and I hear Eric scream.

"FUCK CHERYL! WHERE ARE MY DAMN KIDS!" I yell.

"Oh, now easy Mr.Cowell. You want your kids back? Then meet me in your dressing room where we hold X factor shows. No Cops, friends, or Amanda. If you bring any of them little Miss A.J. is gonna get it." she says. She then hangs up and I scream and throw the phone across the room, breaking it once it hit the wall. Amanda runs to my side and grabs my shaking fist.

"Simon calm down." she says sternly.

"CALM DOWN? SHE HAS MY FUCKING KIDS AMANDA!" I scream and she cowers and runs over to David who holds her tightly. I let out a heavy sigh and then walk outside to my car. As I shut my car door I start it and hit the steering wheel multiple times. I begin to cry and it begins to rain where I can barely see. I hear a knock on my window so I open my door and there is Alesha. I get out and just stand there crying and staring at her. She clashes with me and has her arms wrapped around my neck tightly.

"Come back Simon." she whispers in my ear. I nod my head and let her go. I kiss her cheek and leave to go meet Cheryl. Once in the X Factor parking lot I stare at the building for a few moments before going in. It's dark and cold but I still remember my way to my old dressing room. I finally get to the door and slowly turn the knob. Once in there's Cheryl on the couch typing away at her phone.

"Ah Simon." she says and looks up at me.

"Cheryl where are they?" I ask, slamming the door and walking to her so I'm in her face.

"You didn't think you would get your kids that easy without me getting something out of it did you?" she asks, smiling with a sly grin.

"What do you want?" I sigh getting angrier.

"This." she says and connects her lips to mine, sliding her hand under my shirt. I push her away and she just laughs as if shes crazy. "I guess we need to do this the hard way then." she says and starts to walk away.

"Cheryl wait!" I yelp. "What do you want me to do?" I sigh.

"I want you to leave Amanda and stay with me." she smiles and takes my hand.

"Fuck no Cheryl." I say and pull away from her.

"Fine! Then you will never see A.J. or Eric again!" she yells and storms out. I run after her and then begin to follow her car. She pulls into what looks like an abonden house. I sneak in and there are my kids. Both of them. A.J. with tape on her mouth and Ericwith his hands tied. I dash to them and right when I'm about to pick them up I'm grabbed from behind with a knife around my neck. I struggle until I feel it puncture my skin and Cheryl walks in grinning. "Oh Simon. You are such a stupid man." she laughs.

"Cheryl please let them go." I start to cry.

"Oh honey then be with me." she sighs and traces her finger on my jaw line.

"No." I say and try to rip away from the man holding me down.

"Okay then." she sighs and takes a needle and sticks A.J.

"A.J.!" I scream.

"Don't worry Simon. It's......almost painless. She will die in about five minutes though. It's poison." she laughs. I finally gain enough strength in myself to rip away from the man and run over to A.J. scooping her up and holding her in my arms. I take the tape off her mouth and she begins to whimper.

"Shhh baby I know." I whisper and rock back and forth with her. "Daddy loves you. I'm sorry I couldn't make it in time to save you." I whisper and feel tears leave my eyes. She slowly closes her eyes and I feel her heart stop and she has no pulse. I pull her into my chest and sob over her small body. "Please, Cheryl just let us go."

"I'm not done. Be with me or next is Eric." she says with another needle in her hand.

"Okay!" I yelp and she stops and stares at me. "Just please let me take him home and have a funeral for A.J." I whisper.

"Fine! You have one week. If your not back then Eric gets it." she says and then leaves.

I untie Eric and grab A.J.'s limp body and I drive home. I take Eric in and have A.J. in my arm.

"Simon, i-is she okay?" Amanda whispers. I shake my head and start to cry. "My baby." she starts to cry and walks over to her, taking her out of my arms and holding A.J. closer to her chest. I get up and walk over to David and Alesha who are both silently crying. Alesha pulls me into a hug and I cry into her neck.

"I'm so so sorry Simon." she whispers and I just hold her tightly. I just want out of this hell.
