Mackie's POV

"For the last time officer: I DID NOT KNOW." I was enraged by the man that stood before me. "Do you KNOW WHO MY FATHER IS?!?!"

"Yes, madam and he will be here to pick you up any minute now to accompany you to your trip downtown with us." The officer looked completely unfazed.

"BUT I HAVE A HAIR TREATMENT APPOINTMENT IN 30 MINUTES!!!" These people didn't understand how hard it was to be me! Spending all my money on beauty treatments and clothes! "WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SPEAK TO ME? YOU JUST BECAME A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T GOOD FOR ANYTHING!!!!"

"In," He pointed to his car, I blinked furiously at the red and blue alternating lights as he guided me, or rather, shoved me; inside his car.

I saw Madison before he closed the door on me and drew a curtain over it. I peeked out through the side of the curtain and tears threatened to spill over the brim of my eyes. Madison wasn't yelling at the officers or complaining about how this wasn't my fault......she didn't stick up for me. 

I sat back down in the seat, breathing heavily. I thought to myself, when was the last time I cried this much?

The tears finally spilled over when I thought about that horrible day: the day my dad left.

~Flashback~

"Why are you even here?" My dad yelled at my mom.

"Well, Richard! I could say the same thing about you! You have been mistreating little Mackie since the day she was born!" My mom sounded furious.

I was huddled in my closet, shaking like crazy. There were going to be headlines about this soon, I heard a lot of voices outside besides my mother and father. The paparazzi were here, my room was on the 1st floor so they were right outside, it was scary; I didn't understand why they were fighting so much. Didn't they loved each other?

"The paparazzi are right outside so why don't you say that again, honey!" They were still fighting.

"I am tired of this fighting! I have a little one to take care of!" 

"No you don't, you are a rising star Angela! As Mackie grows up she is going to realize that she is always alone! You will be away at red carpet premieres, you will be away at movie sets, you will be at business meetings and have no time for our daughter whatsoever! Mean while, I will be free whenever she needs me, nobody will be interested in our little family! Just me and her and she will grow up to be a humble, compassionate and intelligent human being! Not some giggling airhead who drinks at parties!"

"Richard...." My mom quieted down a tone. "Just you and her? What do you mean?"

"Angela, when I look into your eyes, I see a polar opposite of the woman I had married 6 years ago. This is why I know Mackie would be better raised by me."

"But you are always so mean to her! Why would I ever think that living with you for the rest of her life will do her any good?" 

"I am only balancing her surroundings! You are spoiling her and that what will ruin her in the future! You know what? I'm done, but I am taking Mackie with me!" 

Tears and fear clouded my vision, I scampered deeper into the closet, hearing the pounding on my door as my mom tried to keep my dad away from me. I didn't want to leave.....Hollywood is my only home.

There was a beam of light coming out from under the door, I closed my eyes and feared for the worst.

I felt a hand smooth my hair, "Calm down sweetie, I promise everything will turn back to normal soon."

"You and Daddy made up!" Hopeful light flashing through my eyes. But the lights died as my mom shook her head no.

"Unfortunately no sweetheart. But now you will get to spend more time with Mommy! And I promise I will do my best to be with you every single step of your life."

Andie's POV

"Excuse me officer, did you see a girl with adidas and  leggings beside me while we were unconscious?" I asked.

"Nope, I was the first person to enter the room, there was no girl sprawled beside you, all I saw was one empty chair." He said.

"How about a big burly kid two rows behind us?"

The officer pounded his skull with the palm of his hand. "Nope, no kids in the spots you girls were describing."

He left to his cruiser.

"Kathy, do you know what this means...." I feared the worst.

"Andie..... I think...." Kathy was hyperventilating.

"What?"I asked.

"Akayla's been kidnapped."
