Can't Escape

Chapter 16

I typed the birth procedure and everything in the previous chapter, but I guess it didn't save! I didn't mean to leave it at a cliffhanger! Seriously, I was so confused, like "wait, cliffhanger? I left them off at the baby's name!" but I guess something happened, and it didn't save the rest, so sorry guys!!!

::Rainee::

I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy, but premature, baby girl. I named her Marie Natalia Louise Carter. She has curly brown hair, lightish-tan skin, and hazel eyes. After two weeks, Marie and I were able to leave the hospital. I instantly loved her, the moment I met her. I signed her birth certificate with my actual last name, and when Alejandro found out abput that, he just went ahead and signed anyway. When we were walking out of the hospital, Alejandro asks,

"Can I hold her?"

Reluctantly, I hand Marie to him. He stares at her, smiling. Then, Marie begins to cry.

"Here," he says, giving her back to me.

He unlocks the truck doors.

"I already have all your baby needs, Rain," he says.

Ignoring Alejandro, I get into the back seat, and put Marie into her car seat. Then I sat next to her, watching her intently. We drove back to his house, and I got out of car. Then, something came to my mind.

"Are you biracial, Alejandro? My baby doesn't exactly look like a white baby. She has curly hair, which I don't have, you don't have, and nobody and my family has. And look at her skin tone," I said.

Alejandro nodded.

"I may not look like it, but I'm half African American, and half Spaniard. My Spaniard side shows more. And I've always spoken without my accent," he said, unlocking the doors.

We walked inside, and I went to the metal room, right away. That was all I wanted to know. I don't like talking to Alejandro. There was already a cradle in there. I put Marie in there, and sat down on my bed. I looked around the walls to see that Alejandro removed the camera. Somehow, we're going to get out of here. Chelsea, Marie, and I. We're going to escape. I noticed that Marie's cradle was wooden.

I have an idea.

::Alejandro::

I'm beginning to regret kidnapping Rainee. She's obviously unhappy, and she doesn't love me. But I cab't just let her go. She'll tell the police. The police know about my history, but they don't know about Rainee because she's from the U.S. The truth is, I used to go to a mental facility, seven years ago, when I was fifteen, because of my alter-ego, and my moderate dementia, which I overcame. But they let me out, because of my sister. I never knew why. After that, I lived with her and her boyfriend, in an apartment. Never mind my dad. He abandoned us, and just recently came back into my life, when he found out I was getting married. My sister's boyfriend was really mean to us, and abusive to her, so when she went to work one day, I slit his neck while he slept, and put him in the little space, behind my closet. She thought that he left. I told her that I knew nothing.

After a month, his body began to rot a bit, but my sister assumed that it was just the whole apartment building anyway, because the apartment was pretty crappy. So, I just sprayed air freshener in my bedroom everyday. But a week after I started doing that, my sister never came back. I didn't have a job, so the landlord immediately kicked me out. I was homeless for four years. I hardly got to eat anything. I always smelled bad, and had to go from job to job. Until I met Rainee. I can still remember that scene...

It was raining outside, and I had a cover wrapped around my body. I suddenly see this gorgeous girl, walking down the street. I realize that I had no chance with her. Not while I'm still homeless. But right when I could ask her for some money, she stopped in front of me.

"Oh my God..." she mumbled.

She reached into her pocket and grabbed a wad of cash. She put the money in my face. Smiling, she said,

"Here you go, sir. You need it more than I do."

Then, she walked away. I was so happy. I just had to see her again. And I did.

I have her now, but she's unhappy. We even had a beautiful daughter together, and she still isn't happy! We got married. Made love. Had a baby. All the things that a couple should do.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND! HOW CAN SHE BE SO UNGRATEFUL?! I punched a hole in the wall. I need to calm down before Damien comes out. I took deep breaths, and sat on my bed. Maybe I should just let Rainee go, and keep Marie.

Three days later...

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock!

I go up to my door, and look through the peephole. And I see a very familiar face. I swinf the door open.

"Hi, Alejandro..." she says.

"You're back...it's been so long."
