"I know Nisha I know but I don't feel safe at all and he's not listening to me," Leah said packing clothes. 

"So where are you going to go ?" Tonisha asked 

"Your house ?" she asked in a convinced tone.

"My house ?" she asked concerned 

Leah stopped packing and looked at Lucas as he walked in the door, "Uh girl I gotta call you back" she said hanging up. "What are you doing ?" he asked placing his and Leah's food on the counter. 

"Lucas I want to leave, I need to leave I cannot stay here anymore," she said continuing to pack. 

"So you leave me? you're pregnant with my baby Leah what the fuck?" 

"Then come with me," she said grabbing his hands 

He snatched his hands from her and mugged her "are you fucking crazy ?" Leah looked at him and frowned "baby-" He walked away and walked out the room. Leah sat on the bed and started rethinking everything. He walked back in and stood in the doorway and just stared at her "I do everything for you, Leah, why can't you just make an exception for me ? why can't you just stay here with me ?" he said walking up to her. "Please don't take me baby away from me," he said getting on his knees. 

Leah looked away and shook her head "why can't you just come with us ?" she asked focusing on him again. "So fuck my feelings right ?" he asked giving her a hard stare. 

"Lucas please-" 

"No," he said getting up walking away "fuck you Leah seriously"

"Hey!" she yelled "do not be mad at me because I'm scared and you won't listen to me!" she yelled getting in his face 

"I hear you loud and fucking clear Leah, you're taking my baby away from me Leah! how could you do that to me ?" he said walking into the living room 

"He's going to find us again Lucas!" 

"I am here Leah! I'm right fucking here, and you know that, why won't you just let me protect you?" he asked examing her body 

"You didn't protect me the first two times!" she yelled giving him an angry stare. 

Lucas backed up and his eyes widen "wow" he chuckled running his fingers through his hair "so this is my fault ?" he asked twisting his lips. 

"No-"

"Why do you keep letting that fucker control you and your emotions? why do you keep allowing him to fuck shit up for us ?" 

"I'm not allowing him to do anything-" 

"Then why the fuck are you packing? where the fuck are you going? you're running because you scared of his bitch ass. You got me, I'm right fucking here but because you decided to go to Walmart it's my fault ?" he asked in disbelief 

"That is not what I'm saying, Lucas" 

"That's what I heard Leah," he said "matter fact how bout I make this easier for you, I'll leave, and that way there won't be Leah and Lucas and the kids. just Leah and the kids," he said grabbing his keys before walking out the room 

"Stop!" Leah yelled pulling him back 

Lucas snatched his arm back and walked headed for the front door

"Fucking talk to me damn it, stop leaving me alone whenever we get into it!" she yelled standing in front of the door 

"You can leave without telling me but I can't and I told you ?" he asked giving her a hard stare. 

"Stop because that's not what-"

"No you stop, I can't keep doing this," he said putting his keys on the counter and walking into the living room 

"What do you mean ?" she asked following him 

"This!" he yelled sitting down 

"Us?" she asked in a worried tone 

He looked at her and looked away "I think we should-" 

"No no no I'll stay I won't leave," she said cutting him off and sitting beside him 

"It's not about you leaving Leah it's about how you allow him to still have that fear and control over you, you're dead-ass packing to leave me I don't do nothing but feed you, care for you, love you, give you my time, I take care of you and kids that aren't even mine but I claim them, and you just want to throw that away because he made you scared." he said looking at her "I fucking love you Leah but I can't keep doing this with you and him anymore"

"Please," she said beginning to cry 

"I can't Leah I'm sorry, he controls you and you don't even realize it"

"I need you, baby," she said crying grabbing his hands 

"You didn't need me when you were packing to leave you didn't even consider me, you were going to just leave and take my unborn child with you and I don't deserve that" 

"You don't! and I'm sorry baby I am, but look at me if he finds me again he could kill me, I'm so fucking scared Lucas" she sniffled 

"I know you are but Leah I'm here, I'm right fucking here please at least give me the chance to protect you" 

"Okay okay okay," she said sitting on his lap "I'm sorry I didn't think or consider you I was just so scared baby every single one of my emotions hit me all at once and I just had to leave. I can't keep living like this Lucas I want out of this," she said looking at him 

"Can I handle it ?" he asked her giving a serious stare 

"What do you mean ?" she asked confused 

"I can get us out of this you just have to trust me," he said looking at her seriously 

She looked at him confused and twisted her lips she looked away from him and looked back 

"Are you going to kill him ?" she asked in a worried tone
