Safe Place

Chapter Eight

Aliyah's P.O.V

After Antonio and I finished up at the court house I couldn't help but keep smiling I was a Dawson and Antonio was officially my legal guardian. Antonio started joking about how the district can't get rid of me now, so I punched him a little harder than I thought.

"Sorry, but on the bright side I did learn from the best there is." I said to my father like figure. "Yeah I know ya did" He said while gesturing to his muscles. We got to the district ten minutes later.

"Guess who's a Dawson!!!" I shouted as soon as I walked in. Saying that everyone looked at me and Antonio expecting us to elaborate. "Care to explain." Jay asked and I decided to let Antonio explain but Voight called him into his office, when Antonio walked out his eyes were trained on me and it wasn't a pleasant look either.

"Aliyah Danielle Dawson!!!" He said jaw clenched with anger clear in his voice. "It sounds so much more scarier now that Dawson is added." I said innocently knowing exactly why he is mad. You see I hadn't been running with my old crew but I couldn't help myself when a good opportunity to tag the old trains came up.

"Get your ass in the car we are going to the gym!!" He said voice holding athority while pointing at the stairs to leave. "But if we go to the gym your going to work me until I can't feel any bone in my body and then work me a little extra" I whined.

"Well maybe you should stop tagging the trains now let's go!" He said already walking toward me probably getting ready to grab my arm. "Fine" I said while running to the door.

Antonio's P.O.V

We got to the gym rather quickly I had Aliyah change in under five minutes or she had to work out for six hours instead of five. "Ok for 30 minutes you will do the jump rope after that you are going to use the speed punching bag for another 30 minutes after that hit the ring with me for 2 hours, next you'll hit the weights for 30 minutes and leg press for 30 minutes, and finally after that your going to do the jump rope for the last hour no stopping no breaks nothing I'm going to watch you the whole time." I told her giving her that don't even think about trying to fight me on this look.

"Why can't you be a normal person and ground me for a month or something" Aliyah said out of breath. "This is fucking torture my arms and legs are noodles I can't do shit with them" She continued to rant we are 4 hours and 30 minutes into her workout. "30 more minutes and your done" I said with an amused voice followed by a smirk.

"Dang looks like you've been working out all day baby." Someone said who's voice I don't recognize. "What the hell did you just call her!" I said turning and facing the kid that called my daughter baby. "I'm not here to talk to you I'm here to talk to my girl." That little hood rat said gesturing to Aliyah with his head.

Aliyah's P.O.V

After Chris walked in acting like he owned the place calling me his girl and baby in front of Antonio I could see Antonio ready to go at him. "You don't own me anymore I'm out ok, what? Jacob and Miranda didn't tell you." I said being a bitch about it.

"Thing is I don't care if your out sweetheart your still mine Jacob assured me that you would obey." Chris said taking a step towards me causing Antonio to step in front of me putting himself between Chris and I. "Thing is I'm not a dog and I don't follow orders from just anyone so fuck off" I shot at him. "Listen here bitch your coming with me even if I have to drag you out of here" He said aggravated.

That was enough to push Antonio over the edge before I knew what was happening Chris was pinned to the floor and Antonio was just pounding on him. "Antonio stop" I tried but he wouldn't budge "Antonio he's not worth it!" I tried again this time trying to pull Antonio off of Chris all Antonio did was shove me back a little. "Antonio STOP!!" I shouted causing him to stop and get off Chris and rush over to me and wrap me in his embrace.

"Aliyah, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to shove you he just tried to take you and I saw how you didn't want to go and I couldn't let him treat you like you were nothing, because you are someone that is loved it doesn't matter how tough a case was as soon as I walk through the front door you find a reason for why things happen and I can't help but think how you've been trying to figure out why this past year has been a crappy one, well I do because without you being in that gang you would have never tagged those building which would have led to a lot of casualties but most importantly it would have never led me to you." Antonio said holding me while I cried because if Chris is here I can lose everything I've come to love these past 3 months.

"Antonio I'm scared I don't want to lose you or anyone else that I have come to love." I said barley audible. "I promise you I will always find a way back to you no matter what" Antonio said holding me a bit closer than before.

Chris's P.O.V

So I went to get what was mine but this new guy Antonio wouldn't let me get near her, I called her a bitch and he exploded. So as soon as I got the opportunity to escape I did, once I got far enough I called Jacob and told him what just went down and both him and I came up with a way to get back what is mine.

A/N: So Chris was promised aliyah and they were a thing before she turned her life around for the better so now he wants her back let's see what happens. Hope you guys enjoy.
