craig's pov
it's been a tense few days. deran, j and smurf have no idea why. she's been falling more into the drugs. escaping. most of the day she's high. and she hardly comes around. when she does she's glued to my, or popes side. smurf asks "okay so what the fuck is going on?" crossing her arms. i glare at baz "ask your trophy son" my head snaps up to the door as cath comes in "baz!" oh fuck. he says "what are you doing here?" she snaps "you fucked dahlia?!" fucking shit.

"it didn't mean anythin-" he starts and that sets pope off to beat his ass and i chuckle and drink my beer "GET HIM POPE!" during all of this Lia comes in. cath goes up to her "you couldn't help yourself could you? just had to fuck him to get back at me huh?! we have a family!" lia pushes cath out of her face "i didn't fuck baz" "i know you fucking did! everyone's saying it!" what?

"bitch i didn't fuck baz willingly and even if i did you have no right to be fucking mad since you were fucking him while he and i were in a relationship knowingly and it resulted in that fucking child of yours. does it look like i willingly fucked him cath?!" she snaps. it gets quiet. deadly silent. deran asks "he raped you?" but cath keeps going "let's face it you've never gotten over baz! and you never will you'll only ever be miserable and wanting! never moving on! wishing you were the one that carried his child but you couldn't could you?" fuck. lia beats cath's ass. yelling unintelligibly. i sigh and get her as deran and j gets pope off of baz before he kills him.

i take her in my room and she paces anxiously. i make her sit and i ask "you okay?" she shrugs "it's out there now" cutting up a line and doing it. i take it and say "this ain't the answer" "don't." she huffs. i nod "let me take care of your hands atleast rocky" getting the kit. pope comes in "hey" she sends him a smile...bad timing pope. she's high as a kite right now. fuck. "why didn't you come to me about him kid?" she says "you'd kill him and with the shit going on...not a smart idea...you're still on parole Andy" "you can't protect him. he doesn't deserve it" he tells her and she replies "i'm not doing it for him. we all know shits not gonna happen about him if smurf still needs him anyways" she's doing for us. "he doesn't get to walk" he snaps. she snaps back "and have you go back to prison? for life this time? because that's a good fucking idea andy really! think i can survive a life without you? you've been gone 6 years and see what the fuck i turned into? fucking hell" he says "i won't get caught" "we all know smurf would throw you under the bus so she can still use him" she huffs. i say "stop arguing guys. what you need right now Lia is some rest okay, we'll talk to smurf about what we're going to do about baz. sit tight" pope kisses her head gently and i tuck her in doing the same.
