Adopted By Why Don't We Book 1

Chapter 26

We put our hands in the middle and I said, "On 3 we go our own ways" I said. "1,2,3, yeah" we all said in unison and went our own ways.

We made our way inside and seen everyone on the couches and their hands behind their backs. I guess Dad and Mikey seen me because their faces lit up when I was in their eyesight.

I snuck behind the couch that was facing the TV and crouched. I motioned Pony, Frankie, Filippo and Ademir over as they one by one did so. "Pony, do you have something to cut the ropes" I whispered to him.

He nodded and gave me his switchblade. I poked my head and grabbed Corbyn's wrists and started cutting the ropes that were in the middle. "Maddy is that you" Corbyn said quietly. "Yeah, now hold still" I whispered in his ear and the ropes came off his wrists.

I went over to Tyler who was next to Corbyn and started cutting his ropes off his wrists. The blade shifted slightly and cut the palm of my hand. I quickly stood up and cursed under my breath as I looked around for something to put on my hand.

"Pony keep cutting the ropes, I have to find something for this cut" I said giving it to him. He looked at my hand seen blood run down my finger. He looked back up at me and nodded. "Ademir, Frankie, Filippo, come help me put something on it" I said as I walked around the couch and into the kitchen.

I didn't care weather Lance or his squad sees me or not, all that was important at that moment was I got pressure on the wound.

"Maddy" Zach said. I turned towards them with pain jabbing in my hand. Corbyn quickly came up to me after he seen my hand. He got a tea towel of the stove, gently grabbed my bloody hand and wrapped it up.

Once he tied it up, he pulled me in close, wrapped his arms around my shoulders, and kissed my forehead. I wrapped my arms around his waist and put my head on his chest.

Then all at once everything turned black. I heard everyone yelling my name fade of into silence.

Nightmare

I stood in the living room of my parents house, My twin brother and I were watching in horror and we were seening a red and yellow bolt running around mom at mock 2 so it was just that you could see colour. We all of a sudden were on the street, about 3 blocks away from the house.

We gave each other a worried look.(We were 7 in the nightmare). I patted my brothers back and we started to run as fast as we could. When we got back we ran inside and seen mom lying there dead.
