Never Say Never[COMPLETE]

Fifty-Nine

A/N: excuse any mistakes. I'm weird asf. Anyways, enjoy. ❤️

"Who the fuck let him in?" Marquee asked now beside me. He put a protective hand in front of me and Leah.

"I don't know. I think we left the door unlocked." I said to him backing up behind Marquee more as Cortavious dragged himself our way.

"You took her away from me. You took my baby." He slurred. I was so confused. Was he talking about Navia? Why was he still so obsessed with her?

"What are you talking about Head? Nobody took Navia from you. She was never with you." Ameira said to him. He glanced back at her and light from the pocket knife in his hand glared up at me. I took hold of Marquee's hand tight.

"Shut up. I'm not talking to you." He said waving the knife at her. She backed up into Niq and Niq pulled Trevor behind herself along with Ameira. She was such a mama bird, but she had the heart of a lion.

"Then what are you talking about?" Marquee asked him angrily. His voice booming in my ears as I laid against his back. I didn't want to see anything. I didn't want to hear anything. I just wanted this to be over. I didn't want anybody to get hurt, but fuck me and my luck cause I doubt that was happening.

"You took her. You knew after what happened to her that she was mine." He slurred. Marquee moved back slightly and placed his hand on my stomach. I grabbed it and held it to me.

"Hey, listen. We don't know what you're talking about. We're here to have a party and that's it. We didn't come to start mess." Sam spoke up. I glanced his way to my right. He'd stood up in front of his wife and looked to be holding something black in his right hand. His gun maybe? I thought. That couldn't be good. The. Again, I was kind of relieved.

"HeY LiStEn.. I don't care!" He yelled at him. Leah jumped in my arms and I watched her face pout up. She was about to cry and I felt for some reason, that was going to set him off.

I ran from behind Marquee towards his room and glanced back at him the moment Cortavious ran at him before the room door closed behind me. I could hear a commotion and felt the floor shake when a body hit the ground.

"Police Department!! Put your hands up!" Someone yelled. I sighed relieved. I don't know who called this time, but thank God. I pulled the door open at the announcement and walked out with one of my hands up as I held Leah as she cried. The cop glanced at me, but paid me no mind as he looked down at two limp bodies on the floor. My heart thudded against my chest. Had one of them been shot? I hadn't heard a gun.

I moved towards the body on the top and he jerked uncontrollably as he rolled off like he'd been tased. It was Cortavious. I looked down at Marquee as he held his chest where Cortavious had managed to stick the knife. "Q..." I said to him as tears fell from my eyes onto him.

"I'm okay. It's not deep." He grimaced as he pulled at the knife. Then decided to stop at the look on my face.

"You can't do that." I said to him. He looked at me confused.

"Do what? Protect you and my baby girl?" He said to me as he sat up slowly, but painfully. I smiled.

"Shut up. I'm supposed to be mad at you right now for running at him." I said as I stood up. He chuckled uncomfortably and watched as they cuffed Cortavious.

"The only reason he caught me off guard was because he said that Leah was his. He was talking about Leah the whole time." He said to me out of breath as he got help from Sam to stand up. I glanced at Leah as she fussed a little.

"I think she knew too." I said as I played with her stomach and her sad face disappeared.

"Actually, I figured as much." Sam spoke up. "He'd visited us weeks back and we noticed that her hairbrush had been cleaned off. Then, he called her by her actual name. Hadn't been to her delivery or anything and we all knew to respect Navia's wishes to call her Nevaeh." He said to us. We all looked between one another silently. We must have been thinking the same thing at that moment.
