Unexpected Romance // Alex Aiono

Chapter 5

Today has been kinda a strange day I'm so scared to tell alex about the dream I had I'm scared at how he's going to react and I don't want to freak him out or anything.

'Hey babe are you hungry? I hear alex say.

I'm so scared to look at him after the dream I had so I keep my eyes on my diary and just say yes

"Is there a reason why you can't look at me" Did I do something wrong? He says

"No Alex it's just something that's been on my mind awhile"

"What is it" he says all of a sudden we hear a knock on the door it's a cop in my head I'm thinking oh my god why are they here what else can possibly be wrong?

"Hello Miss Foster I have something for you" the cop says

All of a sudden she gives me this letter from my dad it's burned so I know it was from the fire it's so hard for me to see anything burned it just takes me back to that horrible night.

"Thanks" is all I can say as I'm walking away from alex and the cop going to my room to see what's inside this envelope as I sit down on my bed I open it and I start to read......

Dear Babygirl

There are somethings I'd like to be honest about I know I should've been honest before and I'm so sorry but I have to keep you and my family safe. I'm apart of an illegal drug trafficking business I work for a man named Pablo Rodriguez he's the biggest drug lord in all of North America. Sweety I know i would always get angry when you and your mother would ask about my job but I never wanted to say anything to keep you guys safe now I've heard you telling your mom that your worried someone is watching you. I'm afraid that might be true there has been men watching me to men I thought were my friends. I've been caught in so many encounters to where I almost lost my life to this job. But I only wanted what was best for my family but I'm afraid we aren't safe anymore babygirl. Pablo Rodriguez went to jail about a year ago and he put me in charge. I ran everything from the shipping to the money so I thought why not take some money and give my family a better life and that's what I did. Now I realize It was a terrible mistake because I have put my own family in danger so babygirl I'll be leaving you some money please take care of your mother and the twins for me and I promise I'll be back before you know it. Sweety just to be safe there might be a cop named Auther Dowis that's involved in all of this don't speak to him he's bad news. I love you so much sweety.

Love Dad

"OH MY GOD daddy why would you take a job so dangerous" WHY!!!!!" I yell all I can do is sit here on my bed and think he wanted to save us he-he wanted to save us oh my god this letter is dated the same day the fire happened I whisper to myself.

"Hey are you ok" I hear alex say

"Alex please come sit down I have to tell you something important" he sits next to me with a worried look on his face.

"Alex my dad was trafficking illegal drugs he was working for the biggest drug lord in all of North America. Alex I'm so scared I had a dream last night and it nearly gave me a heart attack I put you in danger and I can't put you through that for real I can't risk anything happening to you I-I

"Shh I don't care what your dad did I don't care but I need to keep you safe I don't want anything to ever happen to you and if it does it happens to me to" he says all I can do is look at him with tears in my eyes because I don't want to hurt him I can't live with myself if I put him in any danger.

"Alex I think I have to move out there's no chance I'll forget about you"
