Let it Go (Sequel to My Bestfriend's Dad)

Chapter 12 *Intruder*

Hi guys I'm back! Sorry for being an asshole and taking forever to update ._.

_

Something disturbs my sleep ringing in my ears I move away. What is that awful noise? I can't understand where it comes from but, all I want is it for it to go away. Like a petition coming true the noise quickly goes away, replacing it with a voice.

I snuggle into my pillow a little more hearing everything become quiet. Too quiet I hear murmurs from another room, I can't hear clearly but I know something is wrong. I open my eyes lightly my eyes quickly wonder around. Dereck is missing, and then it comes again. The murmurs from the other room. I quickly get up dragging the sheets from the bed to cover myself, I decide to quickly start looking for my clothe that was tossed around. I know I need to start getting ready for work soon so, instead I walk to my closet when I hear "Victoria" Memories start flooding back, Victoria the one that was Dereck's fiancè. I remember that was over done with, she told me everything. But, why is Dereck mentioning her?

"Tell her to get some rest and I will see her soon." Dereck says breaking my heart into a million pieces. Chills run down my whole body making me weak and cold. The jeans in my hand immediately fall, I feel myself loose balance covering my own self with my hands. I feel chills throughout my whole body, making me cold in need of warmness. I begin to feel naked although the sheets cover every inch that shouldn't be put out there.

I feel, I feel out of place...

The robe on the floor quickly catches my attention I grab it placing it on, making sure not one single inch of my body is revealed. "Take care of her until I get back. And, tell Mayita I love her." He speaks roughly to the other side. Who's Mayita and what does she have to do with Victoria? I am confused like a spider stuck in a web. All, I know is that I've been like and persected, everything he told me was a scheme a lie. Well, I never actually questioned him and I have fault in that!

What if...

What if Victoria is his wife and Mayita is his daughter? I don't understand anything . No, that can't be it , I'm not understanding anything. I feel lied to and cheated on. It's my fault... It's my fault for thinking that he still felt something for me. I open my door softly leaning on the door stand admiring him for what may be my last time.

"I know, I've been away for too long. I miss my little girl. But, I finally found what I was looking for; her,and my son." He chuckles lightly. "He's a strong little boy, I'm very proud to call him my son. His mother has done a very good job in my absence, I can't wait to spend time with him." He listenes from ear to ear. "Yes, you'll get to meet him soon. " I continue to listen no matter how much it breaks my heart. I know, for a fact Mayita is his daughter but I don't know what Victoria may be to him and I don't understand. Dereck hasn't changed, he's still the same man I met five years ago. I don't know how I could've fallen into his trap. How could I be so stupid?

The struggles I have faced here has made me stronger but I know that loving Dereck is my weakness. A weakness I could never show, because everything I have worked for will tossed in the end. It's going to hurt a lot seeing my little boy cry for his father. Cry for the absence of a father that hadn't taken an effect on him.

But I know, that as little as Riley knows Dereck is his dad, he still loves him. He feels soothed, protected by his father. I'm gonna be the bad one in this movie when I try to take him away from his dad. My son, needs a father and as much I hate it Dereck isn't going to be it.

All, I know is that everything is lost. Dereck, and I will be going our own seperate ways and as much as it hurts it will be the best decision I have made.

 "Alright, I wi-." He turns around with fear in his eyes. He stays completely quiet not daring to say another word. Until, he says "I will, call you back." He hangs up and doesn't speak another word just starring straight into my eyes. 

Deep ocean blue eyes, starring back at my light green eyes. Oh, Jesus. I stay quiet turning my body around controlling my emotions. I can't show weakness, not now, not again or ever.

I take a deep breath slowly closing the door behind me to change into something more lady like. Relief washes over me thinking about Riley sleeping, a smug smile washes over my face changing into black jeans, with a long sleeve. I fix my hair, combing the long sides up in a pony tail, I wash my face quickly drying it with the towel, I walk out of the shower starring at Dereck, while he changes into his dress pants. 

I avoid the glares he sends me but, instead I fix the bed sheets trying to forget about everything that happened last night. In my heart, it felt so right but, in my head it felt so wrong. I avoid eye contact walking away from the room when Dereck holds my breath making my insides shiver.

"Paige.." He says looking, digging into my soul . Just as i was he was out f words. Of course he was, he didn't have anything to explain to me, I completely understood. I didn't want to be the other woman in someone else's life. Dereck had his own family, and I had my own. " Im, sorry." He admits but I close my eyes not wanting to listen to him any further. 

I hiss, under my breath. " Let go of me, " I say weakly. "You need to leave. Now." I say fighting my wrist back walking out of my room. 

I hold my breath in feeling my eyes start to water. I sit shakily placing both of my hands on my waist controlling the anger I felt on the inside . I felt betrayed, used, hopeless and I didn't know what to do.

That's why I never wanted Dereck to find me and my son, because this would be happening. And, now it's not only about me and him but our son too. He's the most effected in all of this, what will I tell him when his dad leaves, when he barely got him back. 

My insides felt awful. 

He ran out the room fully closed. "Talk to me, Paige please." He said, walking closer to me. I had to admit I didn't want him anywhere near me at the moment. Because, if he did get I was going to punch him!

" Don't" I warned putting my hand extending it out making him out. "Don't get near me." I pulled back, my body heat acting up as usual making me sweat from how nervous I was. 

"Let me explain . Why are you so damn stubborn?" He snapped narrowing his eyebrows. Dereck wasn't the one to sap before, but now I could never know.

I felt like screaming "Because I don't want your explanation! Leave now!!" I screamed pulling him out of the door. It was harder than I though, I struggled but I knew I was only able to do it because he wasn't even trying to pull back. I closed the door loudly. 

I wiped my angry tears falling down my cheeks. "Mommy?" Riley whispered behind me catching me off guard.nI wiped my tears and relaxed. "Mommy why are you crying? Where's daddy? And, why did you scream at daddy?" He asked begging for answers. He folded his hand to the thin line of his lips waiting for me to answer.

I walked to him. "No, baby I'm not crying. I caught a fly only eye. Daddy, is not here, I didn't scream at him baby. We were playing around, I screamed and he would laugh." I lied, I had to lie, my son couldn't know the truth. This was out of the ears to my son, and it wasn't to be spoken to a three year old, near four baby. 

I wrapped my arms around him pulling him into my embrace.
