CHARLIS POV: the footsteps get closer. We every footstep my heart stops I feel like I'm going to die.
CHASES POV: charli was crying into my chest I just rubbed her hair and a tear dropped from my eye. And I rubbed it off as I hear footsteps all 19 of us in the pantry stop breathing. I hold Charli knowing that I need to keep this precious girl safe. 911 said that it would take 10-18 minutes for them to come and its only been at least 5. The footsteps come into the kitchen and the pantry was right next to it so I just turn charli around and put my back towards the the door with charli in my arms. Charli looked at me and said " I love you Bebe" I say back " I love you too Charles" in that moment just for 8 seconds I forgot about the hectic environment around me. And then it snapped back to reality with the pantry door opening. I flinched as if I thought they were going to shoot. But a man screamed "GET UP" so we did I kept Charli behind me and we walked as he was behind us leading us upstairs. I didn't recognize the man but when I saw one of the girls I flipped because it was Cynthia.
CHARLIS POV: as we walk up stairs chase continues protecting me when we walk up I see a girl and me and Chases jaws dropped as it was Cynthia we were seeing. "Cynthia said get them on the ground!" We all sat down against a wall and they put duck tape around our mouths and arms. Cynthia points to me and says "give her to me" I don't want to get up and fight the man but he literally picked me up. Chase started to scream threw the duck tape and try to get up but the man kicks him down. After he put me down next to Cynthia. I don't know what she was going to do but I just shut my eyes since I couldn't say anything or hit or fight. Then she kicks my legs causing me to hit the ground and my head to hit the stair railing. It starts to bleed and chase starts to sob. I stand back up and try not to show that it badly hurt. Dixie and the rest of the hype house are now sobbing then Cynthia says " oh look she's wants round two" and then she punches me in the face causing me to pass out.
CHASES POV: I am sobbing im watching the love of my life get beaten and I can't do anything to protect her. I stand up and with all my might I push the guy of of the railing of the stairs and he falls and passes out then Dixie, Addison, Kouvr, and Daisy run over to get Cynthia. And restrain her. Then I run over to Charli and wake her up. She starts hyperventilating having another anxiety attack and I hug her. She is still bleeding a lot and I hold pressure with my hand to her hand so the bleeding calms. I'm still hugging her when the cops and a couple of ambulances pull up and barge in they go to the man who I pushed off and the females come to Charli they put her on the stretcher.
