Saving Aliyah (editing)

Bonus chapter 2

-Aliyah Diaz-

*TW*

(SPOILERS FROM CHASING EVELYN!! So only read if you've read chasing Evelyn please)

Alastair and I were downstairs debating on what to make for dinner, and just as he's about to say something the door bell rang.

I got off the counter and opened the door seeing my brother Eric there "what are you doing here." I asked, I haven't seen him since that night.

He sighed "I think we should talk about everything." He stated, I stared at him confused before nodding "let me just tell Alastair." I said letting him in.

It took a lot of convincing to allow Eric in our house but Alastair eventually caved in. You had to kiss him for that. Yeah I know-

I sat down on the other end of the couch as Eric sat down an awkward silence filled the room until he spoke up.

"Why did you do it, why did you kill him." Eric asked, I glared at him

"Are you serious? Do you not know what he did not only to me but my own daughter." I grit.

"Aliyah he's our father." He claimed "your father. He was your father I'm not related to him." I say.

Maybe I was being harsh but after everything I've been through because of my 'father' and brother I've lost all respect for them.

Especially when they tried hurting Evelyn. "You think after everything he's done to me I'll just be okay with it?" I scoffed.

"If you think I forgive you then your crazy Eric." I grit, his eyes widened "Aliyah I didn't do anything." He claimed.

"That's the fucking problem Eric, you didn't do anything to stop him, you watched what he did, in fact you made it worse by ratting me out over the littlest things, seriously?"

"Telling him about an ex I had, telling him when I ate when I wasn't supposed? And even telling him about a test I didn't 'score high enough on' I don't think I can ever forgive you for that." I said through teary eyes.

I've worked on trying to get better for years now, I still have my bad days but I at least have people to help me.

"I'm sorry Aliyah, I really am I was just angry." He claimed, I nodded "you still had no right to take it out on me." I say crossing my arms.

This time Eric scoffs "I have every right to be angry, mom left when you were born." He gritted.

"Mom left because of your father." I state, even my mother had tried coming back into my life still

I can't forgive her but I'm not mad at her, if she wanted to talk with me I'd allow it but that's as for as it would go.

"Bullshit." Eric grits, I stare at him "are you serious? He was doing the same shit he did to me with mom, probably worse." I say now crying.

"Your lying."

"I'm not lying Eric." I say calmly "Alastair has the evidence of what he did." I say, Eric shook his head and laughed "of course it has to do with him." He grumbled.

This time I glare at him "watch what you say about him, I may be your little sister but I can do a lot." I grit.

When it comes to the people who've helped me get better I will defend them when they aren't in the wrong.

"Either way your lying Aliyah, he didn't do that to her." He said, maybe Eric didn't notice anything that happened to her.

"How do you know? He probably forced her to not say anything." I say, Eric shakes his head and gets up quickly.

His back is turned to me and he turns around pointing at me "you don't know anything, your just trying to make me believe you. You are a piece of shit Aliyah." He grits

"Your trying to make me think he's horrible." He grits getting even closer

"Eric get away from me." I say calmly, he was angry and I'm not sure what he'll do as of right now.

He scoffed "why because I'm right? Because you know you deserved that? I doubt anyone actually cares about what happened to you, or what'll happen to you." He said

I sink into the couch trying to get away "yeah not so strong now hm? Your still weak Aliyah and always will be." He grits.

I feel like a little kid again getting yelled at over and over again, I feel as if I'm not actually getting better and that my past will always haunt me when I get better.

"Please, please stop talking." I say pulling at my hair "no, you should know exactly what you are, your the problem Aliyah no one else is, no matter how many times you think you aren't you are." He said

I flinch when he raised his hand going to slap me, yet there's no hit.

I see Alastair holding onto Eric's hand forcefully "you think you can come into my house and offend my wife." He grits pushing Eric to the floor.

"I should kill you for what I heard but that's not my decision, now i get the fuck out of here before I make that decision." He shouts making Eric get up.

"Your wasting your time on her." Eric grumbled "and right now your risking your life, get the fuck out of here and never and I mean ever try and come here again, or hurt my wife." Alastair grits watching as Eric walks out.

His eyes flicker to me and the soften "I'm so sorry sweetheart, I should've came sooner." He said pulling me into his arms.

"Thank you Alastair, I'm sorry I had him come in though, I thought him and I could've been on good terms.." I say softly.

Alastair pulls me closer "don't worry about it sweetheart it's okay, it's not your fault and never will be your fault." He said kissing my head.

I know my brother was just angry and that he didn't mean it, one day I would like to talk with him without him getting angry so I can know why he's defending his father so much.

After I calmed down Alastair and I went to the kitchen Evelyn and Elijah were visiting.

Bambi walked over to us since it was time to feed her, the door opens and they walk in "hey Evelyn" I said smiling softly.

She nodded "hey mom" she says walking towards us "why did I get stuck with the little shit." Elijah grumbled holding Cheeto

I smiled softly seeing how Evelyn and Elijah are now 'arguing' over of Cheeto is a little shit or not.

Maybe my story was sad, maybe I still needed to get better but I know I have people in my life to help me, and who care for me endlessly.

I think we all would kill for one another if we had to Alastair wraps his arms around my waist and kisses my head "you okay?" He asked.

I nodded and looked up at him "I'm okay muffin, I promise you I am." I grinned before kissing his lips.

He smiled softly before glaring at Elijah who's now hugging Evelyn.

I peck the corner of Alastair's lip getting his attention back and he smiled down at me and I returned it.

He's definitely my forever and always.
