1 month later February ...Bella is 6 months

It's been a month since Bruno got himself into that mess and Dee has taken mother hood with great pace though sometimes she'll call me when she's frustrated with something and doesn't know what to do and I'll give her advice.

Today Bruno, me and Alia are driving to the meet the band at the tour bus and then drive to New Jersey for the Superbowl. 

"Babe, should I put on her jacket?" I asked
"No it's hot outside today," he says

I put her jacket in her closet as she runs off.

"You ready?" He asks
"Yeah"

I leave her room and go downstairs.Bruno gets Alia into the car while I climb into the passenger seat and we set off.

As we drive on the highway to get to the tour bus, a car behind starts beeping and flashing their lights at us which starts to freaks Alia out.

"What the hell is this idiot doing?" Bruno says.  "Go round me," he says though the driver can't hear him.

"Mummy what's going on?" Alia asks, fear in her voice.

The other car hits the back of our car and Alia screams.

"What the hell?" Bruno asks.

The car comes along side us and ram us again.

"Daddy make it stop," Alia cries.

It speeds off and out of sight.

"What the hell was that?" I ask now pissed off

"I dunno," Bruno says but they're gone now.

I look in the back as Alia is crying and her eyes are full of fear.

"Bruno pull over," I request so he does.

I climb into the back with my baby and strap myself in before I take her hand.

"Let's go," I say.

The morning of the SuperBowl performance...

We were in Jersey and its the day of the Super Bowl. I was excited to watch the game with my best friend who will be here soon, to watch my love perform, and right now to go shopping or our little Kailani first two years.

We had just finished having Breakfast with band and we were in Bruno Rental jeep going to a store I found online called Little Charmers.

"Would you like to choose something for the baby?" I ask Alia as we go inside.

"Can I get something for myself too?"

"Of course," Bruno says.

We choose the cot and all the things for the nursery, then we pick a pram and car seat before we look at some clothes for her and Alia.

"Can you get this set for me and Kailani?" she asks.

It's a 'lil sis' baby onesie for Kailani and a matching 'big sis' T-shirt for Alia.

"That's adorable," Bruno says.

We pay for our purchases and arrange for the big things to be delivered.  When the cashier picks up the matching sister set, he smiles.

"These can be personalized,"  he says.

"Really?" I ask, smiling.  "That would be nice."

He hands me a short form and I put the names in the appropriate boxes before handing it back.

"Thank you," I say before Bruno puts Alia on his shoulder and we leave the store.

I see a man leaning against a car like the one that rammed us and he looks like Kevin.

"Bruno...."

He looks at me, obviously picking up the fear in my voice but as he follows my gaze.

"What?", He asked

I looked back and the person and the car was gone.

"Nothing", I breath

He just nods, he starts to load up the car, and I strap Alia up.

"Babe, give me a moment I'm having a cigarette", He says
"Okay" and I close the door

When I see him light the cigarette I take my phone out and call Dee it takes her a while to answer.

"Sorry I was feeding LJ.  What's up?"

"How did you know where Kevin lived?"

"Deacon showed me."

Oh my hell.  Of course.  Deacon James.

"Bella is everything okay?"

"Bella, have you seen Deacon since it kicked off at yours?"

"No.  Why?"

"Did you know Kevin's surname?"

"Yes it was... Shit! No way."

"You had a lucky escape there sis.  Look, I'm sending you a pic."

"Okay."

I go through my pics and find one of Kevin before all the abuse started.  I don't know why I kept it.  I guess I want to remember Kevin as the nice guy.  I then send it to my sister.

"Whose that?" she asks and that comment says it all.

"Its Kevin before all the abuse."

"Are you kidding me? But that's not the person I killed."

"Okay sweetheart, thanks for that."

"Bella, are you okay? What's going on?"

"Dee, don't worry okay, everything's fine.  I'll come and see you soon."

I hang up on her and put my head in my hands.  I thought this was all over but after that incident with that car, seems our problems are just beginning.

I don't want to worry Bruno he should just be worried about this performance and music ....so I will have to speak to security myself.
