19th August, 2015Jason took deep breaths and handed his best friend a bag of ice and they placed it on their foreheads. The beating ended an hour after and they had begun to drink and share their sorrows and pain and girl issues and now they woke up with nasty headaches.
"Are you gonna call Carla?" Jason asked Peter and he closed his eyes. "You know your sister doesn't want to even acknowledge me as a friend, just as the father of her children." He said and opened his kitchen cabinet and removed some aspirin and threw it into Peter's mouth and he popped an ice cube into his mouth and closed his eyes. "You fucked up."
"You think I don't know that." Peter said and made a fist that forced his knuckles to go white. "I miss her." He confessed and stood up and poured himself a glass of Jack to quench the pain. "What of Tasha?" Peter asked and Jason froze.
"One thing at a time."
"Fine, I have a store to run." Peter said.
Jason broke into Lillian's apartment and cleaned it up; clearing out the fridge of stale and rotten products and swept her room and changed her bedding. Placed her dirty clothes, bedding and baby clothes into her washing machine and allowed it to launder whilst scrubbing her bathroom to its neatness.
Jason smiled at his work and poured himself a glass of his Carmen's homemade orange juice and folded the clothes he had had washed and dried. Placing them in her basket he went to the living room and sat down after he had prepared some toast and omelette and ate, she was to come home at 3pm and it was 2:59pm. He heard keys enter the door knob and turn and he knew she was home, she opened the door and nearly laughed at her facial expression when she entered her apartment. Her facial expression turned to anger and she slammed the door behind her and folded her arms across her breast.
"This is breaking and entering, I could have you arrested for that." She said and dropped her bag. "The baby is with my neighbour's sister but she is at their place, you should remember her. Maya." She said knowing very well that Jason would remember her because he had slept with her. "So make this quick and let's get you out of here."
"I want in with the children, your brother already knows and I just told your parents and their happy I'm the father rather than some stupid douchebag." He said and her heart begun to beat in fear, no wonder he had bruisings on his face.
"You and Peter fought." She stated and opened her fridge to see beauty. When was the last time she had seen her fridge this neat sans products. "Thank you for cleaning my place but I could have called a house cleaning service." She said and picked a bottle of her homemade juice and drank directly from the bottle knowing very well it annoyed Jason. "Don't even comment!" She said when Jason opened his mouth. "My house, my rules."
Jason sat back on the couch and took another gulp of his drink and finished it before staring back at Lillian. "Carmen, back to business. I want to take part with the lives of the children and even if I have to drug you and marry you to enter their lives I will." He said and Lillian realized that Jason was serious. "Now I am going to ask you for your approval but if you say no I'm going to court and you know I have a lot of money and I'm willing to do whatever it takes." He said and Lillian closed her eyes.
"Jason do you remember anything about that night?" Lillian asked and Jason paused. "You don't, well all you saw was my blood on my white sheets and let me tell you something you neat freaking bastard; my children are mine and if you want to send this case to court you know I can't pay and do you want the children asking why their mother isn't around, what will you say? Their mother died at birth or in a car crash or what?" She asked and Jason stared at her harshly.
Jason hardened his jaw and stood up to pace her tiny living room. "Where are our children?" He asked and she informed him that they were at Scott's place with Scott's little sister. "Good, now all I want is that we work together and you leave this tiny place and move in with me in my place and if you disagree your parents believe it's a fine idea for you to move in with me and let me assume a role as a father to my children."
"You have all of this figured out don't you, first get approval from my parents so I can't say no."
"You won't have to work for a while, you can just relax." He said and she was tempted to agree. "Now that I have your approval I just want to say thank you and welcome to my flat." He said and entered her room to probably pack her bags.
21st August, 2015: Saturday Evening.
Carla stumbled into her apartment kissing some random guy she'll regret sleeping with the next morning. Shirking her coat, she unbuttoned her shirt and the guy touched her breasts and she felt herself being separated from her stranger.
"Get the fuck out!" She heard a male voice she recognized as Peter's and saw the guy scramble and leave. "Hi would you like to have a drink, maybe some listerine would be in order." He said and Carla huffed and regretted not changing her lock. "I'd like us to talk about us." He said and Carla just ignored him and entered her room. "I need you to admit I'm alive Carla, I'm sorry." He said and Carla turned around, her short jet black hair turning around with her. "You cut your hair."
"Leave my place right now." She said quietly and walked towards her door. "Now I need you to leave like a gentleman and don't care about my hair anymore. Leave!" She shouted and she watched him leave with his head down and she fell to her butt and cried when he left. She had cut her hair for one purpose and one purpose only, to piss Peter off and it worked.
She rose her weak body up and went to her room and fell asleep on her bed.
