Chapter 24

Ringo:

    "What is taking them so long?", Emily sat close to the door with Luke in the prim. "It's okay Emily, Paul is with John", Madison sat next to her. I detected a hint of worry in Madison's voice. I set Heather Amber in the play pen with Julia and I watch them as Julia tried to teach Heather Amber how to play with the blocks. "Didn't you say you both had something to tell us?", Madison turn toward Elle and me. "Well;Ringo and I just bought a new house", Elle smiled "Already?", Emily asked, "I thought you said you wouldn't buy a house until you sell this one!" "Yes, but we-", the cream colored phone cut me off, "I'll get it" I left the room for the girls to talk.

"Hello?", I answered "Richie? Is that you?", a panicked voice came out of the other end. "Paul?", I asked, "This is Richie where are you -"

"Richie listen to me, I'm at the hospital!"

"What!? It's everything okay"

"Paul is that Emily? Emily, help Paul and George are sitting on me! Shut up John! Gina was - John stop playing with the chord"

"Gina, what happen to her?"

" here George you take it"

"Hey Ringo? It's George"

His voice sound scared and wet as if he had been crying "George, what wrong? Is everything okay?", I gripped tightly to the phone as I waited for his answer please tell me everyone is safe  I prayed in my head. "She was hit…the car…it hit her…help!", George breathed heavily in to the phone  "Who? Gina?", I bit my lip as my knuckles turned white from gripping the phone. "Yes", he broke down, "first I lose the kids, now my wife!" "It's going to be okay George, just stay where you are. We're coming!", I hung up the phone and dashed out of the kitchen. "They're all at the Hospital!", I stuffed my hands in to my blue jean pockets. Emily turned to me " Please tell me John is okay!", she looked as if she was going to break down crying "John is fine", I told her "Paul?", Madison questioned "Look everyone is fine, but Gina", I frowned, "She was hit by a car". the house grew quiet for awhile.

"We should go", Madison cut the silence," I bet George is going insane!"  "I'll drive", I said as I looked for the keys  "Do you want me to stay here and watch the kids?", Elle asked "Are you sure you want to stay?", Madison wondered "Well, it's getting late and I'm sure the kids want to go to bed soon.", She answered.

Madison:

    Thank god my Paul is safe, I don't know what I would do with out him. On the other hand poor George, I hope Gina is okay. "Do you know anything other then her being hit?", I turned to Ringo as he drove "no, I could barley make George out on the phone", Ringo said not braking his concentration to the road.
I stared out the window at the night sky wondering what will happen to her and the kids.  Julia miss the twins and Dhani like crazy, so does Heather Amber. I wonder what drove her mother to it, I pray whatever was the reason my mother wouldn't catch it. If she lays a finger on my Julia I would kill her! Ringo parked the car as close to the hospital as he could. "Let's go!", He said partially jumping out.

"John!", Emily rush towards him and embraced him, "is she alright?" "I don't know", John shrugged wearing an ice pack on his head.  "Why do you have an ice pack?", I asked him "I hit my head", John answered me "Hey, Honey", Paul kissed me on the cheek "Where is George?", I asked "In the room with Gina", he whispered in my ear. Paul took my hand and walked me over to room 206 "look", he pointed in the little window on the door. I peeked in to see George sitting next to Gina holding her hand. Gina was hooked up to an oxygen tank, a heart monitor, and an IV bag. "So far, we haven't heard anything", Paul said, "but George refuse to leave her side"  A tear fell down my cheek "Madison, what's wrong?", Paul asked me "what if she don't make it? Now that the kids are gone poor George is going to be all alone!", I hugged him "George will be fine", Paul stroked my hair, "He's a strong lad."  I nodded as I used my sleeve to wipe my tears. "let's go check on Ringo", Paul said, "he must hate it here". "yes", I spoke up. He put his arm around me as we walked over the see Ringo. "I say we go out for a smoke, aye Ringo?", Paul said "how are they?", Ringo looked up "could be better", Paul said.

George:

    I stroked Gina's brown curly hair as she laid peacefully in the hospital bed. I looked up at the Heart monitor as it beeped slowly, holding on to a little shed of hope that she was still alive. I held her hand one more time until I walked out of the room. "How is she?", Everyone asked. I didn't know what to say so I shrugged. "She'll be okay George", Paul told me "Yeah, Gina's a strong girl.", Madison agreed  "I just can't help, but worry", I considered
I walked over to the pay phone. I put in two coins and dialed a long distence number, "Hello? Hey Rose, it's George", i said
"George? Harrison?", she said

"Yes, the father of the kids you stole!"

"Oh! What do you want?"

" First off cut the shit, I've been meaning to tell you and your husband that for years, second I want my children back! Gina has been a good mother to them and you just took them away! I don't care if you want to call me a bad father or whatever, but taking your grandchildern away form my wife, YOUR daughter FYI and then calling her a bad mother was just …INSANE!!! And by the way thanks to your stunt Gina try to run away again and instead she was hit by a car! So thank you for pospally killing my wife!"

"…Gina? My Gina? My baby was hit by a car!"

"yes-"

"YOU! YOU DID THIS!"

"No I didn't!"

"I tried to tell her to never marry an ugly limy like you, but no she just have to have your childern, what did you do? Rape her?"

" I would never!"

  I heard crying  and some whispering in the background. " Who is that grandma? I heard a little girl saying …wait a minute! "Michelle!!! Pick up the phone Michelle,Adam, Dhani pick up the phone!" "Dad?", I heard a male child "Adam! It's dad!", i almost cried with joy. "Dad, help! it's horrable here!", Adam said.  " Don't worry I'll save you.", I told him, " what's happing? Tell me everything !" Adam explain everything that happened. Rose was hitting the kids if they acted out, Fred made the kids stay in there rooms; they weren't aloud to leave at all not even to go to school. It was like time out, but forever as Adam put it. My poor children were across the pond in some sort of child jail. "Hey kid get away from that phone!" "Daddy,help!" , Adam screamed a few minutes later the line went died.

I hung up the phone and walk to the waiting room and sat next to John and Emily.  " They have them;they have my kids in like some child jail. They're also blame what happen to Gina on me.", I pushed my hair back " How could they?", Emily asked  " Rose called me an ugly limy too",  I pinched my nose  and tipped back my head. I've seen Gina do this when she was stressed and wonder if it would work for me. It didn't.

" The next time I see them", John made a fist; Emily gave him a look.  "Mr. Harrison?", Dr. Robert  called "I have some good news and some bad news. "  I gulped ,"Y-yes?"  "well which would you like to hear first?", he asked I paused for a moment, holding my breathe,"the bad news" "The bad news is we don't know when she will wake up, but when she wakes she wont remember a thing. "  I stood there with my mouth hanging open "And the good news?"

Adam:

"How dare you make contect with your Parents!" , grandfather scolded me as he draged me to my room. He throw me in there and locked the door. " Your not my father! You can't do this to me!", I punched the door. The moment I get a chance to run they'll be eating my dirt. I share a room with Dhani ,who was sleeping in the crib, and Michelle was in mommy's old room. Once in a while Michelle would sneak in the colset, I guess mum and Auntie Becca made a secert door in there closet when they where younger.  It was kind of cool to see pictures of mum when she was younger, at first I thought it was Michelle until grandma told us. I think mum would run away a lot beause we found lockes and bolts on her door and windor plus old plans and stories. Michelle once found mum's dairy, but we are still trying to find the key.

Knock! Knock! " Adam, are you there?", Michelle whishpered " yeah, thanks for the distration shelly. ", I gave her a high five when she came in. Having a twin is awesome. " Who did you talk to?", Michelle ask  " It was dad, he going to save us!", I told her.

Michelle jumped on my bed and just layed there. "he's  not coming", she sighed "what do you mean?", i asked," of course he will! Our dad is one of the most important people in the world! Right Dhani?"  Dhani just sat in his crib and blew more spit bubbles then started giggle when they popped.  "True...", Michelle rolled her eyes at me.  Even through I'm the oldest by ten minutes Michelle is the smartest out of all of us, but sometimes she can be a bit cocky about it. "Just trust me this time!", I told her.  All of the sudden we heard footsteps coming up the stairs, Michelle quickly scramed though the secret door into her room before any one seen her.  "Adam…", Grandma opened the door," can we see you for a moment?"  I swich my look from my closet to my red converse sneakers "NOW", her voice rose when I shook my head no.

Keeping my eye contect glued to the floor I walked out of my room down the stairs following her to the kitchen. I hope she doesn't hit me like she did to Michelle.
    A  week ago when I was getting ready for bed, Michelle came in to my room to get her favorite book out of my room when a soft knock came from the window. Normally it's Uncle John joking around trying to scare us, so I open the the french windows to find two dark figers  jump through and grabbed me, Michelle, and Dhani. When we woke up my sibblings and I were in a small hotel room with our grandparents, who flew us to New York to live with them. Grandma hit Michelle in the back of the plain that day. Michelle didn't tell me she was hit, but I saw a red make on her cheek once she came back, so I guess that's what happened. Everyday Michelle has been  showing newer and darker burses since then. So far I have just been observing and minding my business trying not to causing any trouble, but since Michelle started crying at night. It's time for me to step up as her big brother since dad's not here.

"Did you touch the phone?", Grandma asked me "Yes", I snapped at her, " Daddy was on the phone and I talked to him!"  "YOU DID WHAT!", Grandma yelled  " My dad's is coming to get me and my sibblings because I told him too and he knows you have been hitting my sister, so you better watch out because no one hurts his family!",  I said crossing my arms.  Her face turned bright red like when mom gets mad at Uncle John.  Normally mum would take a deep breathe and laugh because Uncle John is just bing funny, but Grandma didn't laugh she scramed "YOU LITTLE LIMEY BASTURD!" and slapped me so hard I lost my balence and fell to the floor.  I took a deep breathe and stood up  I look at my reflation in the silver pot on the stove, I saw little drops of blood on my beating red cheek. Her nails must of scrached me. I stood staright up and held back my tears. I have to be a big boy and not cry if I'm going help my sister and be a role model for Dhani.  Dhani is to young to understand what is going on, but if he see me actting brave then he might know what is happening.

Grandma stared at me long and hard as if she was waiting for something, but I kept my stance and didn't back down.  Then she  lefted her hand again, blent her finger like cat claws,  and stiked my other cheek. This time she did scrach me; making my cheek bleed. So I kicked her in the knees leaveing and purple burse. My mum told me I was a good fighter and if I was every in danger I was to kick them as hard as I could.

"Fred, get the ruler!", she scraemed  limping away from me and out of the kitchen. The blood on the face dripped of my chin and on my sleeve. Mum and dad never hit Dhani,  me , or Michelle. Yes they put us in time out; maybe not Dhani since he doesn't do much , but the don't hit us.  Grandpa enter the kitchen with a wooden ruler, he grabbed me by my shirt and drag me to the table.
" Sit.", he pointed to the chair at the kitchen table.  I pull the old wooden chair out a bit and climbed up and sat down. " Now put  your fingers on the table!", Grandpa order me. I did what I was told after a few time when he shook my chair because I didn't listen the first time. Grandpa held the rule up high and whas just about to hit when there was a knock on the door. " Now what", he grumbled, "Rose, get the door!"

"Why can't you?" She called from the stairs  "fine", he set the ruler on the countertop and walked away down the long open hallway to the front door.

" Hello Rebecca, funny seeing you here?", I heard him say "Really dad? I was just dropping by to see if you and mom are back from your trip. " a formeler voice talk back to him. From the sound  of the girl's voice it could be my Aunt Becca! My mum has a sister named Becca who use to live it tokyo, but then left some guy name Bart with my step cousin, I forgot how to say her name because it was in japanse, so now she live across town to run her music store 'All that Jazz'.

"I got a call from Madison, one of Gina's friends to tell me my niece and nephews are living here against their will with you and mom!"

"You can't be believe everything brits tell you!"

" So my sister is not in The Liverpool hospital in a coma? Or is she? Because what I heard was you and ma stole their kids and blamed George for getting her hit by a car!"

" I think it's time for you to leave-"

"Hold lets see whose right and whose a liar! Adam? Are you there? Your dad call me."

I jumped out of my chair and ran to the door. " Aunt Becca-", she cut me off "What is wroung with his cheek? Is that blood?" I nodded my head. She took my hand gently and lead me upstairs. " Michelle", she called out,"Shelly are you here?" " yes…",  she slowly walked out of mother's old room.  " come here Shelly",  Aunt Becca let go of my hand and opened her arms for Michelle. "Aunt Becca, grandma and grandpa  are mean … and…and grandma hit me really hard … gasp! Look what she did to Adam's face!", Michelle cried in to Aunt Becca's shoulder. "It's going to be okay, sweetie, I need you to do something for me, both of you go in to your rooms and pack your bags; don't forget Dhani's as well. I'll be back just don't leave your rooms.", she told us. We both nodded and did what we were told.
