Secret Mistake

113.

I know there was mistakes in the last chapter. It's okay though! Lol...it was three in the Morning!

GIA POV

Feeling of not having Delano have my back was very upsetting. And after learning how potentially dangerous Noah may be doesn't help much. Sitting in my car I was trying to get my mind right. And I was still feeling a little light headed from before.

Even though I didn't want to call this person... I figured she would be the only person to actually have my side. Or at least I hope so.

"Gia? I don't think you should be calling me" Bria said.

"Listen I have a problem and I just need someone to give me a quick solution to it" I said.

"And delano can't help you out with that?" She asked.

"Well he's not too happy with me right now" I said. Hearing her sigh "what happened now?".

Explaining to her the whole Noah situation and what I just found out. "Well damn. You are in a bad situation. I mean Delano is right. If you had just listen to him you wouldn't be in this predicament. But also, if his mother would mind hers none of this would be going on. Period".

"Exactly but he doesn't see that. All he sees is I entertained Noah to a degree and now I have to handle my own problems now" I said.

"I've never dealt with crazy before. So I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should go home and explain to Delano what you just learned about Noah. He would have no choice but to protect you". She does have a point.

"Hopefully you're right!" I said.

"Just relax and breathe and go home and communicate with your fiancé soon to be husband. I'm not getting in the middle of you guys" she said.

"I'll keep you updated" I said ending the call. Making my way back home. Walking into the house Delano was walking from the kitchen. I walked past him tossing my keys on the table. My throat was very dry and I needed to sit down.

Delano stood there just watching me. "What?" I asked.

"Where were you? You been gone all day" he said.

"No where you need to worry about. Just trying to handle a situation that just got from bad to extremely worse" I said. He sighed and walked over to me pulling the chair out and sitting down "explain".

"Well I lost my mind and went to Ava. And she explained to me her brother is a paranoid schizophrenic. Apparently she thought he was doing okay since he's been taking his pills and getting therapy. But apparently I must've triggered something in him... I don't know anymore" still playing with the ring on my finger.

Delano rubbed his hand over his face. "And on top of that I realized is that all of this—" motioning my hand over the table "is because of your mother and her evil ways. If she would've left us alone none of this would've happened".

He didn't agree or disagree. Actually he didn't say shit.

"This whole crazy situation had me second guessing this ring. Like is your mother always going to try and break us up until she gets what she wants?. I mean yes, I had Noah in my apartment but I made it clear I wasn't single. Thinking he would understand but how could he when he has mental illness. I admit that's where maybe I messed up for being overly friendly. But this whole entire thing was all one person. And that same person will never stop until her precious son is with someone she approves of. Despite if we have children together. It's like I'm fighting an endless battle" I didn't want to even look at him. Still playing with the ring I just stared at it reflecting.

"So what are you saying?" He asked softly.

"Either your mother stops or I'm done. I've been fighting my entire life. I don't want to fight anymore. Im tired of fighting. And now I have to fight this crazy fuck in order for him to stay away from me. I took out a restraining order against him. But what good will that do?".

"Gia what would you want me to do?. Go fight my mother for meddling in our relationship once again. Or go find Noah and rough him up hoping he gets it?. I don't know what you want me to do".

"How about instead of you telling me fight my own battles you protect the mother of your children" I said.

"Gia from the time we started I've been protecting you from anyone and everyone. Technically I've been fighting your battles from day one. Ever think I might be tired of always fighting for you?". Looking up at him he just stared at me.

"When we first met I never asked you to fight anything for me. You did it on your own— he cut me off  "I did it cause I cared enough to do it. That's what love is".

I didn't say anything. I mean what can I say.

"And yes my mother is the initial fire starter in this situation. But you still entertained Noah. After I warned you about him. What if he took that friendly hang out as something like maybe you guys hooking up? What if he tried to take advantage of you?".

Feeling a tear slowly rolling down my cheek. Quickly wiping it away. "Why are you crying?" He asked.

"It's just like I'm explaining to you the real issue here and you still want to blame me for all of this" I said. He nodded "because if you didn't speak to him to begin with or even show him you were slightly interested in just being a friend. You wouldn't be here now".

"You know what Delano. It'll never end with you. Instead of blaming the one person you should be your not. I'm done" I got up and went to the guest bedroom to just be alone. I didn't want to be with him right now. It's like he finds fault in me all the time.
