The Family

Gio drives me home and as we get Into the drive way Ace is just getting out of his car. "Thank you so much." I say and lean over to hug him. I climb out the car and wipe my tears.

"Hey you alright." Ace says and I just run past him. I hear Gio and Ace shout my name but I just continue to run into the house.

I get the the stairs and Ace calls my name. "Ace please just leave me" I shout as I run up the stairs. I use anger in my voice to hide the silent tears that are surely about to fall. I'm not sure how convincing my voice was but I just continue running to the room.

"Eiffel." He says as he runs after me.

"Ace please." I say as I shut the bedroom door. "I just want to be alone." I say and lay in the bed.

I heard Aces footsteps outside the door but then I hear them walk away. I rise from the bed and decide to have a shower.

With every step towards the shower I remove an item of clothing. I look in the mirror as I pass and stare back at myself with an emotionless expression. I place my hands on the sink and lower my head, the tears begin to flow and I know I can't stop them.

I push off the sink and walk into the shower. I turn the water pressure on and the temperature to high. I Rest my head against the tiles as the water drops down through my hair and onto my back.

I turn around and slide my body to the floor, as I reach the floor I bring my knees up and hug them. The water is hitting the top of my head as I lower it between my knees. I don't bother to hide the cries anymore I begin to sob. I scream into my knees and my heart slowly begins to break.

The future i envisioned for me and Ace to have has been stolen from me. From us. Even from the grave he haunts my life. It was him and Xavier that did this to me. From the countless beatings I endured they still live with me. They have made it so I am unable to have children. They have stolen everything from me. They have stolen my future from me. My children.

With the water beating down onto my head I lift my head and close my eyes. I let the water run down my face as it mixes with the tears. I continue to cry as I sob into the water.

I stay in the shower for what feels like hours, I manage to pick myself off the floor and turn the water off. I step out and wrap a towel around myself, I walk over to the sink and I can't even look in the mirror. I just hate myself, I've let him down. I just know how much he wants a daughter and I can't be the one to give that to him. I know he's going to leave me because of this, I knew I was broken but he gave me hope. He made me believe I could be fixed but I really am damaged beyond repair.

I quickly get dressed and towel dry my hair, I don't bother going doing anything else I just climb into bed. I turn off all the lights and sob into the sheets.

I hear Ace make his way towards the door so I hold back the tears as best as I can. I close my eyes and bite my bottom lip. I have pulled the sheets up so they cover almost all my face and I just frown into the covers.

I walk into the bedroom and I see Eiffel is already in bed. I walk over to her side of the bed and kneel down beside her. I brush a wet strand of hair from her forehead, I place a gentle kiss in its place then stand up. She looks as if she is sleep so i gently walk away. I have never seen Eiffel like this, when something bothers her she normally tell me, she never had to carry it alone. But with this she won't let me in, I called Harlow to see if she knew but she said when she left her house this morning she was fine. If she doesn't tell me I want her to tell Harlow because atleast then she has someone.

I walk into the bathroom and pick up her clothes, I grab her wet towel and place everything in the laundry basket.

I take a quick shower and then get into bed. I move to hug her from behind but she pushes me off slightly, I know it's not me she just wants to be alone.

I lay on my back and stare at the ceiling, I lay like this for what seems like a very long time. I just need her to let me in, I can't help her if she doesn't let me in. I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

I feel her move next to me, the bed dips and i can tell she has sat up. She begins to cry, I go to touch her but then I realise she wants to be alone.

Her hand trails across my face and pushes a hair from my forehead. I hear her cries and it takes everything inside of me to not comfort her.

"I am so sorry Ace. I love you so much." She cries, she trails her finger across my face and then her thumb brushes my cheek.

She leans down and places a kiss on my lips, as her lips touch mine I feel her tears fall from onto my face. Her voice is croaking as if she has been crying for hours and has no voice left.

"I am so sorry, I can't give you want you need." She sobs and then leans her forehead against mine. I am so confused on what she is talking about, she is everything I need.

She gently removes her hand and lays back down, she turns her back to me and curls into a ball. I hear her cries and she begins to sob again. Her cries become muffled as she covers her mouth in attempt to keep quiet i suspect.

My heart breaks as I see her like this. I have no idea what is troubling her so badly, to react like this and not tell me . After a while of her crying she exhausts herself and her breathing becomes even.

Even though she's asleep, she had a prominent frown on her face and he breathing is sometimes jagged. One of her hands falls from her side to behind her and i take her hand softly and gently in mine.

I have no idea what Happened between her and Gio but she has been crying since he dropped her off. Whatever it is I am going to kill him. I fall asleep listening to her breathing and brushing my thumb over her palm.
