Jake's POV:
"Team 10" I yell, throughout the house, after Logan calls me. "Yeah" some yell back, running down the stairs, others from outside. Damn I'm loud. "What happened?" Anthony asks, looking at my face. "I'm going to Georgia for a little while." I say, ripping it off like a band-aid. "Why?" Erika asks. "Mackenzie, she's in the hospital, and I don't want my brother to go through that alone". "We're coming too" one of the Martinez Twins says. "Ok, anyone else?" I ask. "Let's all go" Tessa suggests. "Is everyone okay with that?" I ask. Everyone replies either"Yes" or "Definitely" and I even heard a "Sí" from Ivan. "Let's get packing then." We all run to our rooms, and grab our stuff. I grab some clothes, my phone and it's accessories and toss them all in a suitcase. "Ready babe?" Erika asks, walking into the kitchen, where I was. "Yeah, the plane leaves in two hours. We all take the team 10 van, and go to the airport.
A few hours later...
The plane lands, and we rush to the hotel to put our suitcases down, and then head off to the hospital. We reach the hospital and run to the elevator. We go onto the 8th floor, and go to the front desk. "What room is Mackenzie Paul in?" I ask. "Who are you to her?". "Her Uncle." "Let me ask her father if it's ok, what is your name please?". "Jake- Jake Paul" the nurse leaves, goes down the hallway and into a room. She comes out a few moments later, this time, with Logan on her tail. He reaches us and with one look I can tell that he's mad, sad, everything. "Why are.you here Jake?" He says angrily. "I came to help my big brother and my niece." I say calmly. "She doesn't want to talk to you, or anyone for the matter." He says, getting angrier with each word he says. "Logan, calm down" Anthony says. Bad idea. "Calm down?! Why don't you watch your daughter pass out in your arms, because she slit her wrists too deep." He yells, causing all heads to turn towards us. "This whole thing is my fault" a new voice appears. I look to the left of Logan to see Mackenzie, standing, in her hospital gown, her street clothes in her hands. "I'm really sorry guys, for everything" she says, stunning us all. She walks to the patient bathroom, and closes the door. From outside we can hear her sobs. I feel so guilty. I silently walk out the hospital, with team 10 behind me. We silently sit in the Uber all the way to the hotel.
Mackenzie's POV:
Everything is all my fault
Logan and Jake
Marissa
My parents
Jackson
Everything.
I need to get away from it all.
I slip out the bathroom window, and surprisingly, there's a balcony. I walk around the balcony and see a bunch of stairs, leading eight floors down. I walk down, hiding from the windows. I finally reach the ground, and start jogging down the block. I reach an alley way, and stop to catch my breath. Then a man walks towards me, "Well well well, what do we have here" he says. It's my biological father again. "Hello Darling" he says while walking closer. I get up and try to run away. "Not so fast, sweetie" he grabs me, and pulls me closer to him. "Please don't" I whisper, starting to cry. He takes me, and drags me around the alley by my hair. Then he starts to kick me in the ribs. "This is what you deserve" he says. I wish I could just die. I start screaming. "You're a dick, you're a coward, all you can do is hit people to try and get away from your mistakes. You're a murderer. Fuck you, you imbasle." I scream, as he punches me. "Logan can't save you here" he says evily. I scream even louder, as he continues to hit, kick, slap, and slam me against the wall, I start to loose hope. I start drifting away from consciousness.
Logan's POV:
Mackenzie isn't in the bathroom anymore, we searched all over the hospital for her. For God's they put the place on lockdown. I really need to find her. The police start to look through the city for her. After a while, I get a call from the head officer. He said that they found her, and a man. The man was beating her, all I could think about was her biological father. He knew where we were, and I didn't make it any better by vlogging it all. They told me to stay where I was, they were re-admitting her to the hospital. (She was originally going to get changed into her normal clothes, but was staying in the hospital to be checked on) I went down to the first floor, where they wheeled someone out of the ambulance on a stretcher. I look closely and realize that that's no ordinary person, that's MY DAUGHTER. I run towards her and call her name. She appears to be passed out. "Sir, your daughter is in very critical condition. She was severely beaten by a man, he was arrested. She broke her arm, and has a punctured rib. We are sending her into emergency surgery now." "That man was her biological father, I can tell you that for a fact" I say, while I start to break down and cry. "Thank you for that piece of information sir, if you'd like, I can escort you to the waiting room, while you're daughter's in surgery". I nod my head, and he leads me into a large room. "I will be back if anything changes on her condition". "Okay, thank you" I manage to say, still crying. I wish I would have helped her, or at least found her before he did. Everything is getting worse by the day. I sit and cry, until the doctors walk in. "Mackenzie's father?" They ask. I look and walk towards them. "Her heart stopped, for about a minute, she's definitely a trooper. We revived her,and finished the surgery on her rib. She's now in recovery, but she's in an induced coma. Hopefully she would wake up in a few days or so." "Can I see her?" I ask, glad to know that she's alive. "Yes, you can sir." One says, and walks me over to a room in the colorful children's hospital. I see her, and start to cry again. She has her arm in a cast, and a large bandage over her rib cage. She's hooked up to so many different wires. She also has cuts, and bruises all over her. I can't believe my baby girl is in such bad shape. I walk over to a chair next to her bed, and hold her hand. I cry next to her, till I fall asleep.

Heyo! I'm back!! I felt so sad writing this chapter. Mainly because it brought back memories... But, that's a whole nother story. I'm trying to update as fast as possible, but I don't know how fast I can be. Right now I'm on break for a few days. But I'm really sore from my first day of track yesterday. I've never ran before, and all the exercise made my muscles hurt. I love you guys 😘😘😘 and I want to give shoutouts to...
