Comment and Vote! How do you all want this to end? Ashley and Gerald? Or complete twist? In all honesty I think I'm going to completely surprise you all with the ending. Something different.
Ashley POV
Getting home was bittersweet. A part of me wanted to run to Suzette, Dominick's mother, and just talk to her. I missed his existence. Then there was you. Promising you'd be by my side through all of it, yet it only seemed to matter when it benefitted you.
"It's only a few months...." You whispered looking to me, Kamden was asleep with his head on my lap. "The last tour of this album then I'll be working in the studio."
"Gerald I'm not your mom... You're a big boy and I'm not arguing with you babe... I know you need to tour." I shrugged it off, the topic I had been avoiding whenever it came up. You sighed slightly and kept those dark hues on me.
"You don't trust me do you?"
" It isn't about trusting you. I just know how you get on tour." That was the end of the conversation for awhile. A few months to be exact. I was set for the title fight in six months, I'd made it. I was so ready for this trial to be over. My thoughts were everywhere as I sat down in the grass beside the marked stone. Kamden was playing with the blue and purple flowers that lingered in the vase.
"I miss you..." I whispered to myself. "He looks a lot like you Dom... He's so smart." I swallowed the lump in my throat, brushing back Kamden's black hair. "I wish it was me you know... That it wasn't you that night... that you didn't die Dom because you knew what life was about... You had it all and it was my fault..." Tears slid down my cheeks as I covered my mouth to silence the sob.
"Mommy why are you crying?" He pouted and sat on my lap as I looked at the stone.
"I just miss your daddy sweetheart... That's all... Let's get going okay?" Kamden stood and took my hand before we walked towards the car, the warm San Diego sun kissing the scenery. The drive back to LA was long to say the least. My plan to stay with Suzette changed due to her scene, though seeing her for a few hours always brought back my sanity. Hours later I parked Dominick's GTR in the vast garage before picking up a sleeping Kamden. I made note of Grady's, Marty's, and a few others cars in the driveway before walking inside. My body tensed with anger at the sheer amount of alcohol bottles and people. I took a deep breath walking upstairs and putting Kamden in his room before storming downstairs, grabbing Grady's collar.
"Turn the fucking music off and send everyone home! Where the fuck is Gerald?!" He looked panicked yet shrugged in his drunken bliss. I glanced around before wandering outside, Gerald's height would have given him away if he was out there. The knot slowly crept into my stomach as I made my way back inside and up the stairs. Her voice was melodic as she giggled. How could I forget that giggle. I stopped at the guest bedroom door and squeezed my hand into a fist before pushing the door open. It was as if no time passed. There she was curled up in your arms under the sheets and the sheer look of panic in your eyes. Grace gasped one of those fake gasps. I walked in and sucker punched her in the face, her eyes fluttering shut as you looked at me.
"Baby.." I raised my fist to hit you, but chuckled slightly.
"Fool me once... shame on you... fool twice... shame on me... Good Bye Gerald... I expect you to be gone tomorrow for the day and I will send my people to come get Kamden and I's things." I ran to his room and scooped him up before rushing for the car, my vision was blurred as I drove through those familiar canyon roads. The roads that claimed the only good thing I knew in my earlier life. Dare I say if I didn't have Kamden I'd have driven off that cliff and been done with it. I didn't. I stopped though and looked over the side, sobs leaving my body as I looked out at the rocks down below. "I'm gonna win babe... I'm going make sure of that..." I brushed my tears away before climbing back in the car and dialing the only person I dared to trust right now.
"Hello... honey it is really late are you okay?"
"I need to come back down there... I... Gerald he... I just need to come..."
"I understand... Just be careful don't drive while you're crying... Dominick wouldn't want you in danger." Suzette said before sighing softly into the phone. "I knew that boy and his family were no good Ashley... you can't trust him... not someone like that..."
"I know ma... I know... I'll see you soon." I hung up and looked in the rearview mirror before continuing my journey back to San Diego. Who knew what the road ahead would bring me at this point. Dare I say this all felt like a dream? That this was all just a sick twisted dream and I'd hopefully wake up sometime soon. All I knew is that you were the last person I trusted in this world. History repeating itself as expected by everyone but me. Kamden left fatherless again. This was that crazy world I'd grown to live in and fight to the death to carry on.
