The Seventh

Chapter 12

Richard stopped thinking about the past and lit yet another cigarette, he was sitting on a bench at the local park. He had no energy for working so he thought he'd take some time alone. That morning he suggested Emma that he'd take her to school but she said she was gonna walk there with Ollie. She was distant and mostly silent which made them even more worried. Richard hated Anna for everything and now he hated her even more for hurting Emma again. That woman caused them enough problems in the past as it was, now she was trying to taunt them again.
"Mind if I sit?"
Richard was ripped out of his thoughts when he heard that annoyingly familiar voice, he turned and saw Anna.
"What the fuck? get the fuck away from me Anna" he was outraged.
"you have to hear me Zven, please" she pleaded. Richard felt the rage surging through him as he heard his old name.
"Don't call me that you wretched bitch" he growled.
"OK... Alright,,, Richard. I'm sorry. Let me talk to you" she said softly.
When Richard stayed silent she talked again.
"I didn't mean for any of it to happen, I really didn't"
"didn't mean to, huh?" Richard smirked bitterly, "you didn't mean to sleep with me and let me believe she was mine and then bail? You didn't fuckin mean to?"  He rose his voice.
She kept her head down and answered quietly "I was 17, what was I supposed to do?"
Richard stood up, outraged. He threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped his foot on it "Fuck you and your excuses, you fucked us up and you're blaming it on being young?"  The guitarist lit up another cigarette.

"I loved you Richard, I've always have, I was with Till only to be near you, but you never even liked me even when we slept together" she whispered.

"You realize that only makes you more guilty, right? I was drunk out of my mind when you seduced me and you're right I never even liked you. I kept telling Till that you weren't good for him, but he was so enchanted by you. I don't even know why" he added the last remark mockingly even though she was very beautiful and attractive. He just wanted to hurt her.

She started crying. "I swear to God I'll scope your eyes out of your fuckin skul if you try that weepy shit with me"  he towered over the young woman with uncontrollable anger.

"let me talk to her, please. You can't be that cruel" She wiped her tears.

"Cruel? I'm cruel? You left your fuckin child 2 hours after you pushed her out of that traitor body of yours" He was screaming. They were lucky no one was around to hear them. "She didn't know what a mother was until she was 4, she through every child was supposed to have two fathers. We raised her, we love her more than words can describe. We put her in our own beds for 15 years, cuz she can't sleep alone without having nightmares and screaming her lungs out, and now you..you come back and want to talk to her? Fuckin talk? What do you have to say to her? That you were 17 and didn't know better than to fuck over us? She's 15 and she's more wise and mature than you ever will be. You don't matter to her Anna, you fuckin don't." He couldn't remember the last time he was this mad.
"you have to give me a second chance, you can't just take her away from me" She tried to sound more composed but failed badly.
Those red with rage eyes didn't belong to Richard anymore. "You left and I'm talking her away from you? I won't let you near her, you'll talk to her over my dead fuckin body and I swear on her life which I hold dear the most in my life, if you try any sneaky shit with seeing her, you're fucked Anna. We'll sue your ass and make you regret you ever fuckin existed, much less coming back" He was shaking with rage.
"you can't sue me for trying to be with my daughter, I can sue you too, you know? For holding her away from me" She threatened.
"She's not your daughter, she's no one to you. She's mine and Tills," He whispered angrily. ",and WE have lawyers that can bury your sorry ass down into the ground for life and I'll make sure they do if necessary"

"She's not yours, stop saying that she's yours, you raised her but our blood runs through her, mine and Tills, not yours. You're pathetic trying to act all fatherly towards her when in fact you're the one who is no one to her. stop threatening me Richard, I can make you sorry, I'm gonna make you beg at my feet and handing me yourself along with that kid, I-"

Richard's jaw clenched at those words, his knuckles went white cuz he balled them hard into fists, his blue eyes were widened to the point of getting ripped. The realization dawned on him while his whole frame was shaking. He interrupted her with a deathly whisper which turned into yelling mid sentence "That's it, isn't it? You didn't come back for her, did you you filthy fuckin slut? You came back cuz of me. You came back to use my innocent child just to torture me for not loving you back, didn't you? After all these years you just came back to try and get back at me for literally nothing? You're evil, I knew you weren't a good person but this? This is unforgivable"

"Till would let me see her, I saw it in his eyes yesterday. He's still got it for me bad. He won't deny me anything" She smirked trying to ignore what Richard had just said. Her plans went to shit with the guitarist finally finding it out.

Richard smirked even more mockingly before answering "Till? You thing he's got something for you? He lusted over you, you miserable Evil woman, but he was never in love with you. You gave him something to be in love with tho, and once he fell for Emma, there's nothing he wouldn't do for her sake, he'd gladly give his life for her, just like I would and you think with one doey look from you, he's gonna lose it and kiss his child goodbye? You stupid stupid thing, that's all you based your little evil plot on?" He threw his last cigarette away and continued "I'm done here, I told you what I should have. You come near us again, any of us Anna, you'll be the one on your knees begging for your worthless life"
Then he walked away leaving the woman staring at him from behind with ice cold blue eyes.
