It's your fault

Chapter fifty-two: Mommy!

Cameron answers the door, with new clothes I notice.

"What do you want?" He asks, looking not really mad but just irritated. "Can I see Alice." Like I said before, I haven't seen Alice in a long time, I haven't even seen the baby, as a matter of fact I was never even told who the father was. It sounds crazy, maybe they didn't tell me for a reason. I would like to know, being that I could be the father. "Hold on..." He leaves the door cracked, me standing at the front door. Seconds later she peeks out from behind the front door, opening it just a little wider.

She's so beautiful, I've missed her. I can't help but smile when her glowing eyes look up at me. Not knowing exactly what to say I start off low, scared, nervous..why? This isn't like me. Colton doesn't get nervous. "H-hey..how are you?" Damn it I sound stupid. I look down for the shortest second but when my gaze turns back to Alice her eyes show amusement.

"I'm good." All she replies with. She doesn't seem like she's going to ask me in return but I guess that's cool..damn. "That's great-can I um..come in?" Her eyes narrow. Uh oh. "Wait a second." Again..what the fuck is this, they keep leaving me here looking dumb. The door widens again but it's not only Alice. She latched onto a arm, Demetrius's arm. My blood rises. She needs to let go of him.

"What?" Demetrius says. I'm tired of people thinking they can disrespect me. "I wanna talk to Alice, alone." There. Demetrius nor Alice look fazed by my command. Demetrius eyes me for a moment before looking down and Alice and Alice up at him. "It's okay." She says to him. He sizes me up and down, grabs Alice by the hand and allows me to enter.

I enter to find an emty living room. Clean too.

Demetrius leads Alice further into the house, I follow. We stop at the end of the hall at a closed door. Demetrius opens the door and in it I see Taretto. His back is turned when we first enter, he turns around and he's holding a...baby. get the fuck out of here! Let me not jump to conclusions.

"Colton wants to talk to Alice...alone." Taretto looks at me with no trust filling his daring gaze. Boss man hasn't been around as much but he was gone a lot, I thought nothing of it really. "Make it quick." Boss man says, he carries the baby out of the room, leaving. Demetrius stands, back faces towards me as he talks to Alice in a whisper. Alice looks passed Demetrius, not at me but in the distance like she's thinking deeply.

She nods her head yes and Demetrius takes her and kisses her. Really? That wasn't necessary. He looks be up and down again and leaves.

"So?" Standing with her arms crossed over her chest, seeming uncomfortable. "She's gorgeous, what's her name?" She fidgets with her shirt. "S-salvina." She hesitates. My heart grows warm. "That's a beautiful name, who's..is she.." I can't even gather my words correctly. "Taretto." I knew it, I fucking knew it. Alice looks down at my hands, my balled up fists. I quickly relax my fists not wanting to scare her.

"How old is she now?" I can't think. "One and seven months." My heart feels something, feels what? She could have been mine. Mine. "So she can talk." She nods. She can talk! Not knowing what to say I blurt some dumb regretful shit. "I know what Tommy did." She immediately tenses up. "He got what he deserved." Her tense body does not loosen. I inch closer to her, hesitant at first but I embrace her in a hug. I haven't felt her touch in so long. Too long.

"I've been miss--wanting to see you." She's changed. She does not show fear but emtyness.

"Times up." Alice looks behind me. It's Demetrius. "Why can't you just let me talk to her?"

Alice P.O.V.

Come on now not this. Colton just talked back to Demetrius, not the smartest thing to do. "Times up." Is all Demetrius says back with a smirk. Colton ignores him and turns back to say something to me. I don't pay attention to what he says, I'm focused on Demetrius. He's approaching. Oh dang. Demetrius grabs Colton by his shoulder and Colton freezes. His jaw twitches. His eyes look at Demetrius's hand that's resting on his shoulder.

"Get your hand off of me." Says Colton. "Leave." Says Demetrius. Damn it. Colton jerks his shoulder away from Demetrius's grip. "Don't fucking touch me." Colton just shit the hell up! I scream in my head.

"I'll see you later, it was nice seeing you again Alice." He exits the room. Demetrius comes over and starts asking questions like what he said, did he touch me, stuff like that. I tell him the correct answers and we sit on the bed and conversate.

"Demetrius come on, now" Cameron barges in all frantic. "What's wrong?" Demetrius shouts back with panic, a calm panic. "Rivals, just come on!" I'm holding Salvina tight, scared. What's going on? "Baby, stay here okay, I'll be back okay just stay here with Salvina please?" No I'm scared what's going on?

"Demetrius now!" He pecks me on the lips, also kissing Salvina on the head. That's a goodbye kiss no! Don't go! The words not leaving my mouth. Please. Demetrius. Time passes and I hear nothing.

I'm in the living room when the front floor flies open. A whole bunch of guys come storming in. Then I realize the three being Demetrius, Cameron, and Taretto along with four other guys. I hold Salvina tightly, they have guns on the three. Their silent.

"You, grab the baby!" One shouts at one of my three. Taretto steps forward and tries to take my baby away. "What's going on?" I cry. "Shh it's okay just give me Salvina okay?" Not a question. I won't let go. "Alice please." Demetrius says from behind Taretto. I look at their faces and let go. My baby. Please.

"Now take her!" Three guys rush over to me. "What! No!" I scream as the grab me. "Demetrius!" I kick and scream. "Let her go!" Demetrius runs to the rescue only being stopped. "Get the fuck off of her!" He screams. The other two of mines also screaming. "Why are they taking me?!" A shout. "Baby just stay calm, don't do anything stupid, they'll hurt you!" Hurt me? Why?

The last thing I see is the three along with my little Salvina crying for me. Her mommy.

"Mommy!" My Salvina cries.
