The Other Side Part 2

78.

"You?"

"Yes, me." She said giggling

"Why?"

"Well when I was with Bruno I thought I was happy but he was always gone and I got lonely, I knew he had to be messing with other girls. Strangers would be tagging me and sending messages on Instagram and Twitter. Bruno was never going to settle down with me! He just had to always be on the road! If he wasn't going to put his life on pause for me then I wasn't going to put my life on pause for him. I then moved on to Dave. I was happy where I was in my life but you had to come in and ruined it! You put him in jail not that long since I bailed him out. Once I told him about Bruno he knew he had to get his revenge for Derrick, I just wanted to settle down and have a family but his mind was set on killing him because he just had to go and kill his only little brother. Dave wasn't going to stop until Bruno was dead, but I couldn't see him gone from this world and when he stabbed you with that silver pipe I knew he had gone too far so I shot him. I cared about Bruno too much. No matter how hard I tried to move on and be happy you would come back and ruin it! Of course I had to come back in your lives of few time to check up on you and figure out what I was going to do next. But as I took time to heal I then met Eric, my husband."

"Husband?!" I said loudly and confused.

"Yes." She put up her hand showing off her ring. "Isn't it beautiful, we designed it together in Paris. And then shortly after our baby Eli came into the world."

"Eli?" We all said together.

"He's your son!?" Preston said looking at him.

"Yes my boy of course already knew about you and needed to let the world know about you but this world will never believe in that, but they are going to with a little persuasion."

"That's why you wanted Preston." I said as everything was coming together. "You were going to show the world what he was when his full transformation came."

"Exactly." She said smiling.

"You bitch!" I moved around in Dominic's arm trying to really break free.

"The world will now know what you all are and will be experienced on while I can finally live a happy life just like I wanted, not have to worry about any of you trying to ruin it!" She snapped her fingers and more men came in surrounding us with guns. Dominic let go of me as we looked at everyone. Rita got down with the kids covering them.

"Now let my family go and I might let you go."

I looked around seeing the number of men and their big guns knowing they had to be silver bullets.

"Please don't make this difficult I just want to be happy" she said to me.

"And we want to be happy too! Look I am sorry for what we did but look at where you are right now, you are married and have son, we have not once tried to come in your life to ruin it. Please I just want my family back. Bruno is dying I need to get him some help. Just please let us go and we'll forget this ever happened, please." She looked at me then to Bruno on the ground as he was fighting to keep his eyes open

"I really did love you Bruno. But you chose her over me." The men grabbed all of us pulling me away from my kids.

"No stop! Get off of me!" I fought and kicked one man down as two held my arms. "Peter!" I said as two men got down to him putting hand cuffs on him. Once we were all down they all had guns pointed to our heads. Eric and Eli got up walking next to Jessica as she smiled down at all of us.

"Now what should we do, should we just kill you and leave you here where no one will find you or should we call the cops for a vicious animal attacking? Decisions, decisions."

"Just take me. Let my kids and family go. I'm the one that got in the way of your happiness, I'm the reason you never got to live the life you wanted. Just please don't hurt them. Just take me please."

"What mom no!" Preston said.

"Melanie what are you talking about? Stop it." Dominic said looking at me.

"No Dom. Me and Bruno chose you and Alice to be the kids godparents, you can take care of them I know you guys can."

"Mom please don't talk like this." Talia said as she began crying.

"You guys are everything I could ever imagine, you two and your little brother have made mine and Bruno's life everything we ever wanted. You guys are still young and you have your whole lives ahead of you, continue your adventures I will always be with you."

"Please no mom don't do this." Preston looked to me as I cried.

"I love you." I looked back at Jessica as she looked around thinking of what to do.

"Fine, but if they try anything then they will all die as well."

"I promise they won't." She nodded her head as they all let go of them and the twins ran to me as they hugged me.

"Please mom don't do this! We need you."

"I have to do this." Dom and Vic grabbed the twins as they tried to get free. I crawled to bruno as he looked to me as I gave him a soft smile.

"Mel don't do this."

"I have to, the kids will never have to go through this again and live the life I always wanted for them. You'll take care of them, you promise?"

"I pinky promise." We both put up our pinky fingers up then locked them together and I quickly grabbed him giving him one last kiss. "I love you Mel."

"I love you too Peter."

"Forever?"

"Forever." I held tight on his hand as I kissed it looking into his eyes. Rita got down to grab him and carried him out he still was holding on my hand as she picked him away.

"Don't do this Mel please."

"I'll always be with you." I let go seeing the sadness in his eyes making it harder. I could still hear the twins crying for me trying to get out of the guys' arms. I sat on the floor seeing them leave making my soul leave my body and heart stop beating.

I turned around to Jessica as she smiled. All the men surrounded me making me feel scared and weak, but it was for my family. I would do anything for them, even die for them.
