Don't Run From Me

Chapter 27

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked as I walked into my apartment to see my mother, and some man and woman talking to Anaya. "Sweetheart we really need to talk and since you won't answer any of my calls I decided to visit you." Anaya sensing the tension walked towards me grabbing my arm pulling me out of the room. "So...." She said looking up at me. I let out a sigh. "I'll tell you everything after I handle them." She tried to say something but I was already walking out. "Yall need to go." I said walking towards the door. "Baby please let me expl...." "Goodbye." My mother let out a sad sigh then stood to leave. "Son you really need to stop speaking to your mother like that." I paused and turned my attention to the man who was now standing. "Who the hell are you?" I said looking at him. "I'm Thomas Walker and this is my wife Clarissa." Realization hit me and I turned towards my mother. "You brought these people in my house. Get out." My mother and Thomas both left and as I was waiting for Clarissa to follow them, but she stopped in front of me. "I understand that you're angry and you probably have hundreds of questions. When you're ready to talk we'll be waiting." She handed me a card with her number on it.

Anaya

I was sitting in Dre's guest room with Evie when I heard his door slam shut. "Mommy what's wrong with Dre?" I looked down at her. "He's fine. I'll be right back pumpkin." She nodded her head and turned her attention back to the movie. I got up and walked down the hall into Dre's room to see him sitting on the bed staring at the TV. "You okay?" I said cautiously. He didn't say anything, so I went and sat next to him. "Those were my parents." "What do you mean?" He fell back on the bed letting out a long sigh and began to tell me about everything that happened.

"Damn. Okay so let me get this straight mama Tay isn't your real mama and Thomas and Clarissa are your real parents." He nodded while he stared up at the ceiling. I scooted over to where he was laying down. "Maybe...you should talk to them." He glanced at me. "No." I let out a sigh in frustration. "The only way to find out why they did what they did is if you talk to them." After I said that I sat up and I was about to leave when he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him. "I'll go if you come with me." He looked up at me. "Okay. So go call her right now before you change your mind." He got up and dialed her number and they spoke for a couple of minutes before he hung up. "Alright I did it." "So..." he walked towards the bathroom. "We're having lunch with them in 2 hours."

"Pl...Please?" Sophia stammered as she crawled away from me. I looked at her bruised and beaten body. "Tie her up." I said leaning against the wall watching her. After I left Anaya and Evie the guys and I were in one car and the girls were in the other. As we were driving back I got a call from one of my men. "Talk." I said as I turned the radio down. "Boss Sophia attacked a couple of the female workers and they beat her." I let out a sigh. "Take her to the warehouse. I'll be there soon." Jason and Chris decided to head home while Hassan came with me. He stood outside while I was sitting in the warehouse looking down at Sophia who had nothing but fear feeling her eyes. "Please I'm sorry." I chuckled. "Sorry. What the fuck can I do with a sorry? You've been the fucking cause of me losing my family." The men finished tying her up and she was now looking up at me with a tear stained face. "I'm your family too. I'm the mother of your child too." I rolled my eyes. "You're not a mother. You barely take care of Claire. The only thing you know how to do is spend my money. And don't even get me started on what you did to Evie."

As I was talking I watched as her face contorted into this sinister look. "No matter how much I tried to be a good woman I knew deep down that you would never love me the way that you loved her. Seeing that bitch's daughter was like a slap in the face every time. So fuck you, that bitch and your stupid daughter. You can't kill me Claire needs her mother." She finished by spitting in my face. I felt my blood sky rocket. One thing that I find disrespectful is when a motherfucker spits on someone. I lost it I began to beat the shit out of her. I was pulled off of her and taken out of the room, and I looked to see that it was Hassan. I was about to go back in when he stopped me. "What!?" I said looking at him. "Uncle Louis (Giovanni's dad) called." I was pacing back and forth trying to calm down. "You pulled me out of the room for that." I was about to go the fuck off when he cut me off. "It's your mother."

Andreas

Anaya, Evie and I were sitting across my mother and my 'parents' if you can even call them that. "Thank you for meeting with us." My mother said smiling lightly. I was sitting here with a blank look on my face. "So Andreas your daughter is really beautiful." Clarissa said smiling at Evie. I looked down at Evie who was sipping on her Anaya's drink while playing a game on my phone. "Actually she's..." "Thank you." I said cutting Anaya off. She looked at me surprised. "Look let's cut all the small talk." That's when Thomas started to speak.

"When I was 17 i was a drug dealer, I'm not proud about it but it made who I am today. I met Clarissa then; she was the daughter of a preacher. Her family hated me because of what I did. People would always try to tell her I was no good or that she was too good for me, but she didn't listen to them. When she was 18 and I was 20 she ended up pregnant, and her parents kicked her out. When she finally gave birth to you I was the proudest man alive. I don't want you to think that we just gave you away, because we didn't." he looked at me all I could do was stare at them. "You were about four going on five and the three of us were out shopping when several gunshots rang out. Thomas was shot three times and one of the bullet grazed your arm." I looked down at my scar that I had covered with tattoos.

"After I healed I decided that I was done the game, but because of the enemies that I made I was still a target and that meant you two were as well. So we made the hardest decision of our lives. We decided to give you to one our most trusted friends. We had to keep our distance so no one would hurt you, but Taylor (Andreas's mother) always kept us up to date on things going on in your life. And when you were in high school we moved down here to be close. We made sure you and Taylor were both taken care of." I looked at the three of them to see the sincerity on the face. We stayed for a while longer and I agreed to meet with them again. "So who told you to meet with your parents?" Anaya said tying her hair up. "Yeah, Yeah. You were right, you were right." She started to bow. "Thank you. Thank you. Please hold your applause." I picked her up and threw her down on the bed. I buried my face in the crook of her neck then pulled back and looked her in the eyes. "You... Um said Evie was yours." She looked away, so I grabbed her chin pulling her eyes back to me. "She will be some day so why not claim her as mine. Now I'm not taking anything away from Giovanni. I may not like him but I respect that he handles his business as father." I smiled down at her as she blushed trying to cover her smile
