Don't Give Up On Me [Book 2]

Chapter 21

As I placed the water bag-I mean baby- into the seat, I studied it.

It had brown hair, brown eyes and pale skin.

It was quite cute, I had to admit that, but also, he was scary.

That baby, babies in general, you had to give them what they needed, what if I could not give him what he needed?

"Hey." I spoke softly.

"Hello." He spoke.

What.

I blinked twice as he smiled. Did he actually reply to me?

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Lay-me." He told me.

"Lay you where?" I replied confused, trying to find something that made him want to lay down.

"Lay-me!" He replied, taking his silencer out of his mouth.

"Where?!" I asked, already frustrated.

When I ruffled my hair, I accidentally knocked my head onto the car top that I had been leaning on.

"Ow."

He started to giggle, rubbing his nose with both hands.

"So, you find that funny, little fucker?"

He continued to laugh as I closed the car door and made my way around the car.

I had a kid that I did not even know the name of, my girlfriend locked up in my house in a room that I had prepared for her.

That was fucked up shit.

I drove off, taking the longer way to get some more closure about what I was about to do. I had to let her out, but knowing her, she'd take her- our son and leave immediately.

I was so scared, what if she left me? If she left me for real, I would not be able to bear it. My whole existence was dedicated to her, to protect her and now, she was going to vanish, vanish out of my life.

I knew and I also thought about just letting her imprisoned in that room, but I knew it was not right. An angel did not have to be kept locked up, it had to fly.

As I drove towards my house, the street was strangely quiet, no one in sight, no neighbour outside. I did not wonder why, even though, I probably should have, then when I got nearer to my house, I saw a police car parked in front of it.

"Shit."

Someone must have called them.

Leah.

I made a turn, and sped off, the cop noticing it.

The baby started to laugh.

"Quiet, little pisser."
