Age Of Innocence (AOI) [Sequel To IR]

Chapter 11 } Forgive And Forget

Part 1:
Ala's POV
I wasn't mad at Matthew I mean he got raped, it's not his fault. I was just shocked and didn't know how to react. I felt bad for just walking out. But I needed to process it. He got raped by Lauren and now she's pregnant with their child? When did life get so confusing. At least now I know he didn't cheat on me. But that's not the problem, rape is illegal shouldn't Lauren be in jail? Instead Matthew is deciding to raise this baby with her. Of course the baby deserves a dad and a mom, but it's just...ugh. I don't even know what any of this is. And the way I acted, I was such a bitch. I acted like the baby was going to be a witch or something, Matthew probably won't even want him/her around me. It's not the child's fault of course, I would help Matthew take care of his daughter or son. But what does this mean for Matthew and I, is this going to be the end, he needs to be with Lauren. But I want him to be with me. Ala! Stop being a selfish bitch. It's all about the baby, it needs the best life it can get. I needed to talk to Matthew but I wasn't sure if he would even want to talk to me, he probably thinks I'm a bitch.
I sat down on the floor and leaned my head back on the wall. This was so confusing. I needed to talk to someone. I called the person that first came to mind, other than any of the boys that were with Matthew right now. Greyson.
"Hey Ala what's up?" He answered quietly.
"Hey Greyson can you talk?" I asked.
"Yeah on the phone for a couple minutes. And I'm going to have to take a rain check on our annual Tuesday coffee date." I completely forgot it was Tuesday. Every Tuesday we go and get coffee together and talk.
"That's okay. But I need to talk to you about Matthew, again."
"Matthew what about Matthew, I have no idea where he is." Greyson seemed very jumpy.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, perfect. Um Ala?"
"Yeah?"
"I think we should stop hanging out so often, I really love hanging out with you, but I'm putting you in serious danger, and I don't want you to get hurt."
"What do you mean, serious danger."
"Your kind of a target for something that I can't speak of-."
"Greyson!" I heard in the back round.
"Coming!" He yelled back to the person. "Look I've got to go. Just stay with Matthew and be safe. Bye." Before I could say anything he hung up. What is 'stay with Matthew and be safe' supposed to mean? How am I a target? What am I a target for? Oh god, maybe moving here was a bad idea. I decided calling someone else, I didn't feel right being alone.
"Hello?"
"Matthew I know you probably hate me, but I need you."
"Woah babe what's wrong are you okay?"
"Yeah I just..."
"Look I'm at the beach why don't come here, we can wait here for you." This phone call reminded me of how good of a person he was. I was such a bitch but he still cares about me.
"Okay."
"Were on the south side be safe, love you."
"Love you too." I hung up the phone, why is everyone telling me to be safe? I fixed my messy hair, grabbed my phone and wallet and headed out the door. As soon as I turned I bumped into someone. "Oh sorry." I said looking up at them.
"No it's my fault-. Ala Dausonn." He smirked. I nodded.
"Yeah, do I know you?"
"No, I've just um...heard of you, your famous, remember?" He laughed, it sounded like he was improvising.
"I'm not really famous."
"You keep telling yourself that." He laughed. "I'm Devin. Devin Mcoy."
"Well it's nice to meet you Devin but I've really got to go." I quickly walked passed him and basically ran to the south side of the beach. Something was off about that Devin guy I just didn't know what. I finally approached the south side were the guys were waiting. I couldn't be more glad to see them I was scared. I felt so unsafe. An uneasy feeling had taken over the pit of my stomach. Matthew turned and saw me he ran towards me, and I ran towards him, it was like in the movies. We approached each other and I wrapped my arms around his neck and he tightly wrapped his around my waist picking me up off of the ground. This was the proper way of us greeting each other. I wrapped my legs around his torso and he squeezed tighter on my waist. I nudged my head in his neck. I felt so safe in his arms, I knew he would never let anyone hurt me. I felt a sense of security around him. I released my legs from him and jumped down he still had his arms around my waist holding me close.
"Ala baby whats wrong?" He whispered.
"Uh nothing. I'm sorry I walked away. I feel like such a bitch, I mean I was being one. Your going through a really hard time right now. But what ever happens I will always be by your side, no matter what position I hold in your life." He smiled and pulled me into a tighter hug.
"You will always be the love of my life, and that's what position you will hold forever." I smiled this time.
"I'm sorry for being a terrible girlfriend."
"Your not a terrible girlfriend." He grabbed my face in his hands and leant down to kiss me. The sparks flew all around, they were so powerful it almost hurt. I knew this wouldn't last for much longer, I had just moved and we were already struggling. But who knows, once Matthew moves here and I can see him everyday it could be different. I hope.
"I love you Ala." He whispered startling me out of my thoughts.
"I love you too Matthew." I whispered back. All of a sudden we were both startled from the gaze we held in each others eyes when 'aws' flew all around us. I looked around the beach and thousands of people with phones were around watching the whole thing.
"Hi everybody." Matthew waved smiling brightly. I could tell the majority of the crowd were teenagers, mostly girls. Or girls with a boys arm around them. A couple of girls walked over to us asking for pictures, we said yes, of course. They started a trend and the hundreds of people rushed around swarming not only Matthew and I, but Nash Cameron and Carter too. It was very intense. I think someone called the police because I heard sirens. One pulled up followed by the rest of them they ran out quickly. I was shocked when an ambulance pulled up. Wait did someone get hurt. I had lost Matthew by now, it was insane out here. I started my way over to were the ambulance were when there was a big tug on my arm I almost flew back, but instead just stumbled a little, trying to maintain balance.
"Excuse me are you Ala Dausonn?" The police man asked, his name was Jimmy.
"Yeah. Why are the ambulance here did someone get hurt?" I asked worried.
"That's none of your concern, come with me." He answered rudely.
"Um it's kind of is my concern, my friends and I are the reason there's a bunch of girls going crazy." He didn't answer after that, he just dragged me through the crowd. I looked around and saw other police people pushing and shoving girls trying to move them. It was ridiculous how violent they were. Finally when he was done dragging me out of the sea of fan girls, I looked into the distance to see Matthew Nash Cameron and Carter fighting with the police officers. They were literally yelling in the one police woman's face. I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh a little. Nash looked up in frustration, then when his eyes landed on me they lit up. He elbowed Matthew. And Matthew looked at him as if to say 'dude what the hell that hurt'. Nash motioned towards me. As soon as Matthew laid his eyes on me he pushed passed the police people trying to stop him and sprinted over to me, I just stood still. He embraced me in such a tight hug I thought I might pop.
"Matthew I-I can't breath." I stuttered, he pulled away and examined my face and arms.
"Are you hurt baby girl? We were so worried we didn't know where you were" He asked worry filled his entire body. I smiled at how much he cared, and he inspected me to make sure I had no cuts or bruises on my face or arms.
"No I'm fine. But I think one of the fans got hurt." His face as I said that was indescribable. It filled with sorrow and worry. The sadness it held within it was almost unbearable to look at.
"Where?" He asked. "How?"
"I dont know the cop wouldn't tell me anything I just saw and ambulance. Matthew held my hand tightly and pulled me in close to him.
"Where's the ambulance?" He asked. I pointed to where the truck pulled up. He had his right arm around my shoulder securely and was holding my left hand with his. We pushed through the crowds of people. And Matthew made sure I wasn't touched, I almost cried at the sweetness. We finally made our way over to the ambulance truck, they were boarding someone on a stretcher. Oh shit. "Excuse me sir, I would really like to know what happened here." Matthew said, the worry radiating off of his warm sweaty body.
"I'm sorry young man I'm in no position to tell you. I understand your one of the famous people here and your worried about your fans. But it's still classified business."
"It's classified business that one of my fans got seriously hurt! How many famous people do you know that would care this much! I love my fans like they're my own family! Just tell me what the fuck happened!" Matthew yelled, completely tensing up, his jaw was clenched and his free left hand was squeezed into a fist. I reached my left arm behind his back and rubbed it trying to calm him.
"I'm terribly sorry it's regulation I wish I could tell you. But you would have to go to the family for the information your looking for." The paramedic made his way to the drivers seat of the truck. Matthew flinched then almost charged to attack the paramedic but I pulled him back.
"Matthew it's okay." I faced him and cupped his cheeks with my hands.
"Ala it's not okay! One of my fans is hurt and I'm not even aloud to know what happened!" He yelled.
"Hey, just relax baby. Tomorrow once everything dies down and you cool off a little, we can go to the hospital and see if she or he is there." I spoke softly. Matthew's eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store.
"Really?" He gleamed.
"Of course." He kissed me passionately and pulled away.
"Your the best." He smiled and hugged me.
"I know."
