Dangerous Lives

Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven

As we walked into the living room, I held my head up high, I wasn’t going to show weakness and I needed to be strong for Seth and show that we were going to get our Mom back.

Everyone sat down but I remained standing pacing back and forth.

I watched intently as my Dad and Seth were in a deep quiet conversation, it bugged me not knowing what they were saying but they had stuff to sort out and at least make a bond.

I didn't know whether I wanted them to not, what if he leaves us again and I have to go through all of the heartbreak once again.

I stopped and interrupting them needing to sort this thing out.

“Why are you here?” I asked.

My dad sighed and lent forward in his chair, looking down on him I could see just how much Seth looks like him, his light brown hair sticking up in different directions where he ran his hand through it constantly, he still had that habit.

“I will have to explain from the start, when I was eighteen me and my friends--” he gestured to the older men around him. “—formed a gang, I was and still am the leader. When I was twenty the gang was the most powerful in the states and we were getting bigger and stronger.

"I met your mother when I was twenty, I fell for her the moment I saw her and then well we hit things off and she fell pregnant with you Lil and we decided to get married. Obviously with me being a notorious gang leader of the most powerful gang, we had to keep it quiet so no one found out just in case someone came after you two.

"After a year, Your mom became pregnant with Seth and I couldn’t have been more happier, but I didn't want to risk anyone finding you as I spent all of my free time with you guys, so we kept you hidden in a little town and no one was any of the wiser.” His eyes shifted from happiness to a darker haunted look.

“When Lil was ten and Seth was about to turn nine, one of my worst enemies found out about your mom and you two. So I done the hardest thing I have ever had to do and left making sure they would never find you, you have to believe me that I always made sure you where safe and knew what was happening in your lives and trust me I never wanted to leave you, there was nothing I could have done , I just wanted you safe.” He finished talking with everyone looking at him.

Seth put his hand on his shoulder. “It’s ok Dad I understand, your here now and we need you.” They hugged and then my dad looked up at me hopefully.

It doesn’t matter how much I wanted to run into his arms and never let go, I was the biggest daddy’s girl. But I couldn’t, he left us for a gang and he says there’s nothing he could have done.

“You can help us get my mom back, but I don't want anything to do with you.” I said passively, ignoring his distraught face and them calling my name I walked off and into the kitchen.

I put my hands on the counters and sighed heavily.

I looked across the counter and noticed a neatly folded piece of paper.

I furrowed my eye brows I didn't notice that earlier.

I slowly walked around the counter and picked up the paper.

I opened it and couldn’t help the tears well up in my eyes as I read it.

My dear Lilith,

I have your mother, she is safe for know.

I didn't come for your mother, I want you and when I want something I get it.

Let’s just say that your mother is collateral damage, I will let her go if you come to me.

I will be in contact soon, my love.

Oh and do not tell anyone about this or your mother will not see the light of day again.

Martin Jones.

I swallowed and re-read the letter again and again.

Tears spilled over my eyes and I let out a chocked sob.

I heard footsteps coming towards me, so I quickly shoved the letter into my pocket.

“What do you want Jayden?” I said sounding exhausted, as he walked through the door.

“Listen babe, I'm going to help you ok, you don't have to worry, no one is going to touch you and were going to get your mom back.” He said coming and wrapping his arms around me.

I surprised myself but wrapping my arms around him, relaxing against his touch and seeking his comfort.
