Descendants vicTORIous-Adamma Book X

Hopeful

The branch started to snap. The VK teens screamed.

"Guys, we might be able to reach that branch there." Adamma pointed to the other branch above them.

"Go on, Harry." Uma nudged Harry.

"Why me?" Harry looked at her.

"Let's be honest, you're more manlier than Jay." Uma looked at Jay. "Sorry not sorry."

"This is scary." Harry climbed onto the branch. He helped his friends onto the branch. When it was Adamma's turn (she was the last one) the branch snapped underneath her. Jay grabbed her hand and he pulled her onto the branch.

"It's ok, baby." Jay hugged her.

"Now what?" Evie sighed.

"Let's wait until morning." Gil yawned.

The Hollywood Arts teens were waiting for the VK's at lunch.

"Is it true that sweat and pee are, like...cousins?" Cat asked.

"Here's some liquorice." Beck gave cat a large string of liquorice.

"Yay! I love candy!" Cat ate the liquorice.

"Where are the VK's?" Tori groaned.

"Why do you guys care? That annihilates our chances of losing. We can win now." Jade sipped her juice.

"But, they're our friends." Robbie looked down.

"Who cares? They were mean, rude and ganks." Jade growled.

"Jade, you're not a dog. Speak normally." Beck told Jade.

"All I'm saying is they'll show up at the auditions." Jade smiled.

"I hope." The others sighed.

At the auditions.

"What if something bad had happened to them?" Robbie sighed.

"They're Islers, nothing bad happens to them." Jade scoffed.

"Jade, admit it, they're your friends." Beck glared at her.

"Ok. They're my friends and I miss them." Jade looked at her feet.

"We have to go find them." Cat grabbed Tori's arm.

"Who's next?" Miss Dubois asked. The teens walked onto the stage. The music played for A Thousand Years but when they had to sing, no one would. "Stop the music!" The music stopped.

"I'm sorry. We can't perform." Tori led her friends offstage.

"We have to go find them." André looked at Tori.

"We are." Beck took out his car keys. The teens dashed to his car and they went looking for the VK's.

The VK's were sitting on the branch, bored, hungry and scared. Harry started rapping Hopeful.

"Please help me God, I feel so alone. I'm just a kid, I can't take it on my own. I've cried so many tears, yeah, writing this song. Trying to fit in. Where do I belong? I wake up every day, don't wanna leave my home. My mamma's askin' me why I'm always alone. Too scared to say, too scared to holler. I'm walking to school with sweat around my collar. I'm just a kid, I don't want no stress. My nerves are bad, my life's a mess. The names you call me, they hurt real bad. I want to tell my mom. But she's havin' trouble with my dad. I feel so trapped, there's nowhere to turn. Come to school. Don't wanna fight, I wanna learn. So please, mister bully. Tell me what I've done. You know I have no dad. I'm livin' with my mom."

"'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am. Hopeful for today. Take this music and use it. Let it take you away. And be hopeful, hopeful. And he'll make a way. I know it ain't easy but that's okay. Just be hopeful." Uma sung.

"Why do you trip at the colour of my skin? And whether I'm fat or whether I'm thin. You call me loser, you call me a fool. I ain't got a choice, I gotta go to school. I wish I had an angel to stick by my side. I'm shaking with fear, I'm so scared inside. Doesn't really matter if I ain't got the looks. Why do you always hurt me and destroy my books?"

"'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am. Hopeful for today. Take this music and use it. Let it take you away. And be hopeful, hopeful. And he'll make a way. I know it ain't easy but that's okay. Just be hopeful."

"I give you all my money every single day. I didn't ask to be born but now I have to pay. I ain't got no food, you take all I have. When I give it to you, you search through my bags. I wrote this song for you to see. We could've been friends, yeah you and me. Mister bully, take a moment please. Every single day you bring me to my knees."

"'Cause I'm hopeful, yes, I am. Hopeful for today. Take this music and use it. Let it take you away. And be hopeful, hopeful. And he'll make a way. I know it ain't easy but that's okay. 'Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am. Hopeful for today. Take this music and use it. Let it take you away. And be hopeful, hopeful. And he'll make a way. I know it ain't easy but that's okay. Just be hopeful."

"What I wear is all I have. We lost our home, I'm livin' from a bag.mYo mister bully, help me please. I'm flesh and blood, accept me please."

"Great. Like that's helped us." Adamma rolled her eyes.

"It's kinda your fault, Ada." Evie shrugged.

"What?!" Adamma looked at Evie.

"If it wasn't for you and your clumsiness, we wouldn't be here."

"You don't even know how I got down here." Adamma pushed her face. "I was wrestling Gil and he threw me over the edge accidentally."

"So it's Gils fault." Evie looked at Gil.

"All I care about is the fact that I beat you." Gil smirked.

"And falling to our deaths because there is no way any of us are surviving from that fall." Uma sighed.

"Why, aren't you positive." Mal said sarcastically.

"It's what I do." Uma smiled.

"Hey, I have an idea for you." Harry said sweetly.

"What?" Uma looked at him.

"Shut up!" Harry shouted.

"Someone's on their period." Freddie laughed.

"I just want to go home. I miss Harriet, CJ, my dad, Lost Revenge, I miss the Isle." Harry sighed.

"So do we." The others wiped their eyes dry.
