Don't Give Up On Me [Book 2]

Chapter 7

Hayden's Point Of View

I opened my eyes looking around me, seeing shattered glass pieces and furniture around me. It took me a moment to remember that I had vandalized the room yesterday. Everything started to kick in again, about how she left me and betrayed me to go fuck some stupid bloke who even helped to kidnap her.

She was surely missing out some details there.

As I stood up, everything hurt, my back ached as I groaned silently and walked out of the room, kicking a broken door piece out of my way. I walked downstairs, towards the fridge, trying to get some food, but all that was there was a bottle of water and some hard bread. So I decided to make my way out of the house, onto the porch as I lightened the cigarette that was lying in the package on the coffee table.

12:09, my Rolex said.

I took a drag and felt myself relaxing.

I thought about how it would go on, if I would see her again and what if I did.

I was sure to scream at her, to tell her everything that had been going through in the last couple years just because of her. Just because of her, I was in all this shit and the funny thing was, that I couldn't even blame her.

It was me.

I could've let her die long time ago, but I didn't because I was too stupid to believe that she loved me, of course she didn't, nobody did. What was like someone threw a brick with all their force onto my head was that I believed her all way long, I played her games, softening so often. I thought that I had found the girl of my dreams when we spent that night together, despite the circumstances. I thought it was love.

Well it was, to me.

Leah's Point Of View

"FUCK, LEAH TRY TO BE A MOTHER AND SHUT HIM UP!" Zahir yelled.

"WELL I OBVIOUSLY WOULD IF I HAD ANYTHING TO DO SO BUT HE'S HUNGRY AND TIRED AND HIS DIAPERS ARE FULL AND I DON'T HAVE ONE FUCKING THING !" I yelled back as Zahir cursed under his breath, banging the door behind him.

He just left me alone without any help, well then.

The baby wouldn't stop crying, so I decided to go back to the flat because this was ridiculous. I couldn't make Jaymi suffer from Zahir's stubbornness.

"SOPH," I yelled to get her attention as her head snapped into my direction.

"Can you give me a ride back home?"

"Zahir's okay with that?"

"Yeah, totally." I lied.

She nodded and looked for her keys, driving me home despite her being in pink pyjamas.

I didn't care if it was 'dangerous'.

Even if Hayden was still there he wouldn't ever hurt me, he wasn't that kind of guy, or at least the Hayden that I knew wasn't like that.

Hayden's Point Of View

I frowned as I saw a car park in the driveway from the room I had trashed the previous day. It was a Alpha Romeo, obviously. I looked down, curiosity taking over my body as a girl with a blanket in her arms stepped out of the car and shut the door forcefully. She walked up to the front of the house and, before I could register what happened, the girl whom I haven't seen the face of, was in the house.

I heard the door shut as I hushed out of the baby's room and down the stairs, as quiet as possible.

There she was, sitting on the couch and changing the little boy's diapers with so much experience. After she was done, she picked the baby up and started to walk towards where I was hidden. I quickly took a few steps back as she walked past me, not even noticing me, probably because of that water-bag called a baby. She placed it on the ground, as it started to cry even louder, tearing on her jeans, to try to get her picking the brown haired boy up. She refused though, making him a nursing bottle with some powder. After she was done, she put it into the microwave and I watched her as her now even darker hair was flowing around her now more defined face, falling to her waist. She ruffled it and sighed, rubbing her face. I watched her as she picked the baby up and opened the microwave to take the bottle out, before heading into my direction. I prayed that she wouldn't notice me and just walk past me, because for some reason I wasn't ready yet to fight with her, I wanted to be able to admire what she had become another moment.

Fortunately for me, she walked past me, shutting the baby up, by pushing the bottle into it's mouth. I smiled as the baby shot me a little glance as she walked past me.

This baby was psychic.

I snapped out of my trance when I heard Leah scream, I was ready to run and help her, but when I heard her saying: "What the hell happened to the room?"

Fuck, I forgot that.

I waited another moment, but I heard nothing than silence, so I decided it would be the best to wait until the baby slept and then confront her about everything, especially last night.

How dare she running away from me with Zahir like that?

After 30 minutes, I lost patience and made my way silently upstairs. The trashed door was open and I saw the baby lying on the mattress that I had not destroyed and her sitting in the corner of the room, her head in her hands as she had pulled her knees closely to her body.

" I can't even afford the diapers, let alone the windows and the room." She whispered as she let out a frustrated sigh

Why the hell didn't I know she had been struggling ?

Oh right. She never showed up to tell me.

All of sudden all my anger towards her came back in a flash.

"I guess you like my surprise." I smirked and immediately saw her tense up, wiping her tears away with her hands.

Wow, she wouldn't cry about me, but about money?

"How could you do that?" Her voice cracked.

"I was angry and I don't regret shit."
