Alessio's Story Part 5

The front lawn is perfectly mowed, and there are rows of beautiful flowers out front. Brooklyn must have done all of this. This was what she wanted to do as a teenager at her mother's home, but they never had the money to truly achieve that dream.

I never expected her to stay in New York. I thought she would have preferred Italy, with Jace's family. I was planning to buy a plane ticket.

Who would have thought she was so close to me. She only lives twenty-five minutes away, forty in New York traffic.

I can admit I'm nervous. I didn't expect Leo to just give me her address. He most likely was expecting this sooner or later. I walk to the front door, each step is heavy.

Shit, what am I going to say? Hello? Why did you leave me at the altar? I hate you?

Shit, will I cry?

My finger brushes over the doorbell and I hear the rings throughout the house.

"Coming!" I hear from the other side of the door.

Brooklyn

The door swings open, standing in the doorway is Brooklyn with a baby in hand.

I look to her and then to the baby. I assume it's a boy based on his clothes. His small hands are grasping at her shirt.

Who's baby is that?

I look up at Brooklyn, her hair is longer. It's too long for her tastes. The baby looks over at me, and I stare at it for a bit. It looks a lot like Jace.

"Alessio?" She takes a step back and readjusts the baby in her hand.

"Brooklyn," I say.

"Wh-what are you doing here?"

"Why did you leave me," I spout out. Brooklyn's eye widens, and she tightens her hold on the baby. She remains silent and begins to bounce the baby in her arms. I turn on my heel, "I'm going." This was stupid, what am I doing!

"Alessio!" She shouts behind me, shocking me to my core. I turn back towards her. "Do you wanna come in and talk?"

I open my mouth then close it. Go into her house? I- I can't even face her right now. "Sure."

Brooklyn takes a step back to let me come in. I take off my jacket and put it on the nearby coat rack. Behind the coat rack is a picture of everyone together.

Henry, Katherine, Keiko, some guy... I think this is Brandon.

Brooklyn, with Jace kissing her cheek.

And Jackson, I stare at Jackson a bit longer. This is the first time I'm seeing him since he died. Funny, enough for a best friend, we didn't have any pictures together.

"We all took that picture when we were in Virginia when we were attempting to kill Leo, a couple of years ago." The baby begins to stir a bit, "I have to get him down to bed, it's about his nap time. Um," she adjusts the baby in her arm and points to some chairs. "You can sit there, I'm going to put him in bed."

I walk into her living room and take a seat on the couch. On her coffee table is more pictures of everyone. This one looks more recent, Brooklyn's stomach protrudes out in the picture. She must have been pregnant when she took this. I get up from the couch, and on the wall is a picture of her and Jace smiling. They're both wearing suits, Brooklyn's is white with a low cut. While Jace is wearing an all-black suit.
