Diyah's pov:
Around midnight I finally hear the door being opened and thankfully it's Gio.

He goes into the shower and comes out almost an hour later.

He crawls into bed letting out a long sigh.

When I turn to face him to ask if everything was okay, his back is towards me and I knew because of that not to mess with him.

I scoot over to his side and even then he scoots away from me a bit, he might've thought I didn't notice, but I did.

I scoot back to my side and fall asleep to the coldness and loneliness.

Gio's pov:
I felt filthy sleeping in the same bed as Diyah after what I'd done.

I knew I should've pulled away from the kiss with Kat, but I didn't.

I knew I shouldn't have kissed her back, but I did.

And I knew I shouldn't have liked the kiss but I did, I always liked the feel of Kat's lips on mine.

After a long night of no sleep, I finally get up at five and go for a drive, anywhere to get away from what everything that was going on.

I find myself parked at the graveyard like usual when I'm too lost to talk to anyone living.

"What is wrong with me ma?" I ask as if waiting for an answer.

"I love Diyah, I seriously do but it's like when it comes to Kat, I cant let her go. She's the mother of my daughter for gods sake," I say recalling the moments shared with Kat and Jess.

Everything happened way too fast. Just less than twenty four hours ago I was here, confessing to Diyah how I felt about her and then here I was again doing the same thing I said I wouldn't.

What's wrong with me?

"I really wish you were here around times like this," I say running a hand through my hair.

"You'd tell me what to do about Kat and Jess. I mean I'm a father," I say bitterly.

"I want to be in Jess' life, why wouldn't I? She's my own flesh and blood, I just don't know about Kat," I add on.

"So you found out," goes a voice behind me.

"Yeah," I say bitterly not turning to face him.

"I know you're upset with me an-"

"Pa, I'm a grown man. I can make decisions for myself and I knew what would've been best for me, Kat, and our daughter," I bark at him.

"Would you have wanted her to grow up the same way you were raised? Around guns and violence everywhere? She wouldn't have a normal childhood and that is all Katrina wanted for her," he says placing a hand on my shoulder.

"What about what I wanted for my daughter, huh? Why didn't anyone care to ask me about it?" I say shrugging his hand off.

"You're not listening Giovanni, we're talking about the life of an innocent four year old. Would you have really wanted to put her through everything you went through?"
