Damaged

Something small.

Mariah up there. 

Alexander POV

  "Yeah some niggas tried to run me and Alex off the road! Nah we good, my dad car messed up but he said not to worry about it. Wait what you mean never let her go?" he said looking at me with a confused facial expression. Aww shit, I know I have some explaining to do. He, just like everybody that reads this book, is gonna curse my ass out. "He pulled some action movie shit and hit the breaks while I shot the tires out, making that bitch flip over. We didn't get to see who was driving the car, not that we had time to anyway. Who knows who else was waiting to get our asses. Yeah I'm keeping him here until tomorrow. Yeah he good, a little shaken up after what happened but he'll be cool. I'll holla at you tomorrow bro." he said as he hung up the phone and turned back to me.

  "What did he mean let her go? Alex what is he talking about?" he asked. I took a deep breath preparing myself for the conversation that's about to take place. "I think you might wanna sit down for this, or you can stay standing. Whatever works for you." I said cracking a nervous laugh as he stood there with a serious expression on his face. "Um well, OK then. Remember when I told you that was gonna be late to the party?" I asked as he nodded his head. "The thing is, I actually went to my parents house to kidnap my mother. I was successful in  the abduction and proceeded to take her to the this warehouse in the middle of nowhere. Once there I tied and chained her ass to the chair before heading back. The following day, I brought Mariah there to let her do whatever she wanted to her." I explained.

  "You could call it payback for all the shit they did to me. Well after about a month and a half, I grew tired of looking at her so I let her go." I said, putting my head down. Here it comes. "So let me get this straight, you lied to me. You decided to be a real life spy/black op. Then you decide outta no where that you was gonna let her go. Alex have you lost your fucking mind?! You should've killed her! You do know that they was gonna kill you had you not ran away right? Please tell me why you let her go? I need to know what possessed you to do such a dumbass thing." he said as he tried so hard not to yell again. "She wasn't my intended target. I was just using her to get his attention." I said hoping that would somehow convince him.

  "Alex, I love you and all but that's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. You should've killed her right then and there. She deserves that shit for everything that she did to you. It's that little bit hope you have for them that's gonna get you killed. I really can't believe you even let her go." he said shaking his head as he paced back and forth across the room. "I really didn't want to get you involved." I mumbled. "Alex fuck that! I was involved the moment I got with you. I don't give a fuck what happens to me. As long as you're safe, that's all that matters." He said still yelling. "I- just - I'm sorry." I said tripping over my words, trying to find something to say but as you can see, nothing was coming together.

  "How long has it been since you let her go?" he asked. "Um, I'm not sure about a few weeks ago but I don't think she would've made it here that fast, she was stuck in the middle of nowhere!" I said defensively. "Alex, that doesn't mean it would've took her a long time to get back here. She could've easily did the same thing you did, which is find the nearest hotel or house and call your dad to come get her. I'm not gonna lie, your mom is a very beautiful woman so I doubt that nobody wouldn't want to help her." he said as I nodded my head. Damn it. I forgot how pretty the bitch was. Even with bruises and broken limbs, she could still stop traffic. I guess that's the good only trait that we inherited from the both of them, good looks. 

  "We also can't rule out the fact that they may have had us marked. That could've been one of their little minions. Alex, this is a dangerous game that we're playing here. I'm just trying to make sure you understand what's really at stake here, your life." he said sitting next to me. "I know. I guess I should tell about the dream I had then." I said as he looked at me. "What dream?"  "Well a couple of days before you asked me out, I had a dream that they basically killed all of you but they saved you for last. They showed me everyone's picture, well except Jordan and Mariah because they were coming for them after they dealt with me. I literally watched them slit your throat David. You had told me to run before hand but I couldn't. It was only until after I saw that did I decide to move. My dumbass tripped and they caught me too. The cut off my leg but decided it wasn't enough so they took a chainsaw to my neck."
