New Beginning? (adopted by O2l)

Chapter 71

Mallory's POV

After I blacked out AGAIN, all I can see now is black. I can't see anything and I can't hear anything. A-am I still alive?

"HELLO?" I screamed

Nothing.

"HE-" I started then heard someone

"Mallory?" A voice said.

It sounded like a boy's voice.

I turned around and saw a boy that looks older than me. He's maybe 15 or 16.

"How do you know me?" I asked

"I'm your cousin. My parents died, so your parents took me in. They did the same thing they did to you, to me. I couldn't handle it, so I- I took my own life." He said looking down

I started crying thinking of all the bad things they did to this boy pushing him so far that he had to take his own life. Then I started thinking of all the things they did to me.

The boy came over to me and held me. I cried into his chest. He had a cute face with golden hair like Matt's and he had green eyes.

"Shhhh shh it's okay" he cooed in my ear

"You know my name, but I don't know yours" I said once I calmed down.

I lifted my head up from his chest and turned around to face him. I was now just sitting on his lap while we were sitting on the ground.

"Eric" he said and smiled

I smiled back and asked

"Am I d-dead?" I asked nervously

"Well, you're not dead yet, but you're close to death" he said

I nodded my head and a tear fell

"Don't worry all the pain will be gone and I'll be with you the whole time okay?" He said

"Okay" I said and smiled

"That's if you die though. There's a chance that you can go back. Not much people survive from their surgery of a burst appendix. Even though I don't want to see you hurt, you're still young and need to live your life" he started "I'll help guide you your way back to your body so you can have a second shot in life. When the time comes when you come back, I'll be right here for you okay? Even when your back down on earth. I'll always watch you." He finished

I hugged him and he hugged back.

"Thank you" I said and nuzzled my head in his shoulder

"I've seen what Nick and Lucy have done to you Mal. Even though You just met me, I still watched over you because you were family. I wanted to do something so bad, but I couldn't. I can't see you getting hurt like that" he said and I felt something warm hit my shoulder

I looked up to see Eric crying

"I'll be okay. I have a great family that took me in" I said and wiped away his tears with my tiny hands

"I know. If you didn't, I wouldn't help you go back" he said while smiling

"I love them even though they make mistakes." I said

Eric nodded and hugged me again, I gladly accepted.

"Mallory, just so you know... This process of getting you back will take a while. Maybe weeks or even months. It's not easy going back. Especially when your in a really bad shape. Your heart stopped and they just got you back, but barely. Don't worry though. I'm gonna do everything in my power to help you. Okay" he said

"Okay" I said

We stood up and he took my hand and we walked to through the blackness and faded to the day I was born.

"What are we doing here?"

Eric's POV (ohh shocker or nah)

"What are we doing here?" She asked

"We're starting from the beginning of your life to the present time" I said

She nodded and we watched how the doctors took her to Nick and Lucy. I was also there, but I was 11. I was sitting on one of the hospital chairs.

"Is that you?" She asked in her little voice. She was so adorable that I don't understand how Nick and Lucy could do this to her

"Yeah. I was there with you when you were born" I said smiling

The doctors have Mallory to Lucy and Lucy just stared at her with disgust. Then I looked up from my chair and asked if I could hold her.

"Take the thing" Lucy told me

I got up and took Mallory. Mallory was awake and I walked around the room rocking her while Nick and Lucy were talking.

"I'm not going to let them hurt you" I whispered "I'll always be there for you" I said

End of flashback.

Then we popped up to the day I took my life.

"What's going on" Mallory asked worriedly because there was screaming

I took her hand and told her not to worry. That nothing could hurt us. She nodded and gripped my fingers tighter since her hand was tiny.

"Open the door and give us the brat!" Lucy yelled through my door.

I was finishing up packing my clothes and threw it out the window. I already had Mallory's clothes in mine since she hardly had any. I also packed her baby food and diapers in another and threw it out the window.

Mallory was in my room and I was trying to run away with Mallory. I wasn't going to let her stay there with them.

I took Mallory and went out my window. It was only a story, so my I could just jump right out. So I did.

By the time I reached the end of the drive way, I was pulled back and Mallory fell with me. She was now 2 months old.

Lucy took Mallory and Nick dragged me back to the house. Lucy took Mallory to a room and Nick pulled me down to a basement where he beat me. He beat me so bad that when he was done and brought me to my room, I swallowed the whole pills bottle.

"Sorry Mallory. I failed" was the last thing I said.

Mallory was crying by now so I picked her up.

"Shh it's okay, I'm in a better place" I said

We went trough her whole life memories and was back where we started.

"What now" she said

"We wait" I said "we went through your memories to kill time" I said

She nodded and she crawled on my lap and fell asleep leaning on my chest.
