A Love Worth Fighting For

chapter 7

Unknown pov

"Lorenzo come here!" I yelled, tapping my fingers against my desk.

Lorenzo ran in and stopped in front of my desk, he is significantly taller than myself, darker skin and better hair. Why Is it that the younger brother is always the better looking one? "Yes?"

I look at Him and turn the screen around so he can see her. "It's time."

"But Bella and Lyla aren't there yet. We can't!" He yelled.

I stood up and pulled my gun out shooting him in the abdomen, "I AM THE BOSS. YOU DO WHAT I SAY TO DO WHEN I SAY TO DO IT!" He nods his head and limps off. "I can't let you live like that anymore" I looked at the screen.

I'm coming for you Ariel. And this time your boy toy can't stop me

Ari's pov
"Camwren where did you go?!" I crawled around the floor, looking for the baby who did indeed looks a shit ton like his father. And no. I wasn't looking for the baby because I lost him... I was looking for him because Adam is helping him play hide and seek and I  lost ADAM.

"For heavens sake, please do NOT tell me you lost my Child Ariella!" I hear Kat yell.

I slowly popped my head up from behind the couch and waved nervously. I stand up and look at her smiling, then I see Cam pop up from under the couch, giggling like a mad man. I smile and pull him out, "there you are!" He giggled and ran to his momma, while Adam and Dravon went into the other room to talk.

"Dravon has been up my ass all day with questions. God it's annoying but I have to ask you a question, okay?" Kat sits on the couch with me, "Do you know someone with the name Chris? Spelt K-R-I-S?"

I felt my heart hit the surface. It felt as if I was drowning, gasping for air but nothing but freezing water filled my lungs. Kris. My brother. The one that died in the car accident. I nodded quickly, tears flowing down my cheeks, Camwren rubbed his little hands over my cheeks and hugged me tight. "Kristoff Michael Collins. Died in a car accident when I was 5. He was my oldest brother. Lorenzo after him, disappeared on his 17th birthday after making a weird phone call someone." I sighed, looking down at my feet, "Bella and I were 5, Lorenzo was 10 and Kris was 13, -"

"You don't have to continue" Kat rubbed my back,  as tears rolled down my cheeks.

Adam and Dravon walk into the living room, "what's wrong?"

"Kr-iss" I sob out as Adam reaches for me, once in his arms my sobs turned to whimpers, then to gasping of air.

Dravon stomps around, huffing. "Kris what God damn it!"He throws his hands up in the air and spins to face me. Kat, at that point had taken Camwren to the car." That does us no fucking good here!!" He spreads his arms out in a sweeping motion, his hand swiping by my face, I flinched. No, not a little head jerk but a full-on flinch. My head moved back, burying itself in Adam's neck, my hands came up to protect my face and  my legs came up to protect my body. Self defense, something I've had to learn from a young age.

The world seemed to fall away from my feet, I was no longer walking on ground; somewhere my feet had a firm place to stay; I was drowning in an ocean, where my lungs were held captive by the freezing water and my eyesight was limited fore gravity was pulling me under into cold waters where my only option is to... give up.
