Wild Baleigh love 2️⃣☑️

1. Don't

The tension in the air is so thick. Anyone can feel it.

I look at the furious man infront of us, his eyes are blazing, hot fire and his frantic fingers are running over his hair, pulling it. 

It takes me a moment to realize Cassandra is doing the same thing. Her eyes are cast down and her hands have started to grow damp and clammy. A sheen of sweat has broken out over her brow.

The sound of a cracking wall resonates through the evening air and my eyes immediately darts to Ballice.

Holy fucking shit!

His fists keeps colliding with the wall next to the deck continuously, for a moment there I forget how to breath.

"Stooooop!!" I let out a loud cry, my eyes bawling out in utter shock.

"Oh my God Ballice!" Cassandra gasps in shock too as she stands up.

I start making slow steps towards him my legs and my whole body betraying me and I don't like how fear slinks in my body so easily. My legs simply can't support my body right now and my knees feel like goo.

"DON'T!" He growls warningly raising a finger up. "DON'T YOU DARE COME NEAR ME." He warns, emphasizing each word and you can feel the edge in those words.

I stop in my tracks staring at the shuddering scene before me which is turning explosive in a thousand different and scary ways . It's not exactly a scene. I don't know how I can call it but it's not that appealing to watch altogether.

"Please." My voice comes out barely audible. It's more of a whisper. A plead. My shoulders are hunched and am fidgeting my fingers in fear as my glistening eyes silently beseech him.

He brings his bloodshot eyes to me. There's a thick green vein popping on his forehead. I move my eyes to his hands which are now resting on his sides but in tight fist balls,he has bleeding knuckles and then it dawns on me that I don't really know Bally that well. At least not this side of him.

He's trembling with anger and I can feel the tidal wave of emotions swelled inside of him. He looks so broken beyond repair at the same time and the only thing I want to do is pull the broken blue eyed boy into my arms and coo him with sweet nothings until the pain he feels ebbs away.

"I love you." I mouth the words to him and he instantly screws his eyes shut as he sucks in air sharply. After a few seconds he opens them again and this time they land on Cassandra.

"Take back those words, say that you are lying!" He barks at her. Ouch.

Averting my eyes to Cas, I swear it takes everything in me to stop taking her into my arms too. She's more than broken. Tears are streaming down her face nonstop as she shakes her head profusely.

"I... I'm---" She begins to speak but she stops midway and breaks into fresh sobs. I don't know if I'll stand this longer...

"What!" Ballice snaps in a loud thunderous voice that is so demanding. It even startles me.

Poor Cassandra.

"Speak up!" His voice booms again making her shudder more.

I look at him trying to get even the slightest of attention from him but his gaze is not leaving Cassandra. I know he's aware of my eyes which are silently begging him to stop but he's ignoring me on intent. I take this chance to move two steps to him.

"I'm sorry it's true." Cas stuffs the words out of her mouth so fast I almost miss them. She then rakes her fingers in her hair pulling at it devastatingly as her sobs come out louder. "I wanted to tell you so bad Ballice, I really wanted to---"

"But you didn't." Ballice cuts her off, his voice mean and harsh. She lifts her head up and looks at him through her bleary eyes and nods in shame as more tears pool out of her eyes. "What does that make you?" He sneers in disgust.

I least expected that to come from Bally. What a question.

"I kn...know... What..." She stutters, her lips quivering as she trails along way. " I... I did was wrong but I had no choice---"

"You fucking didn't have a choice! Heck yeah! The fuck you say that to me? What a freaking asshole of an excuse!" He shouts his fist coming in contact with the wall again and this time I jump to the space next to him.

I could have warn him of his language and hostility but now I'm caught in between stopping him from hurting himself and staying away from him as from his earlier warnings or request if I may say, duh.

"Princess DO NOT close that space between us please." His voice startles me. It's shaky and kind of ragged but there's some slight fear in it. Fear of what he may do to me but I'm not afraid of him. I know he won't hurt me. His eyes avoids mine, keeping them on Cassandra even if he's talking to me.

"I knew that once I disclose that information I was going to be sent away and never be allowed to get closer to you. I was afraid Ballice, that's why I made a choice of keeping it a secret. I wanted to watch you grow even if it was from a nanny perspective. It killed me---"

" Hell it killed you fucking much." He cuts her again.

"Give the woman a chance to explain herself!" I raise my voice at him and am taken aback by my own voice. He's also astonished that he brings his eyes to me this time.

"Stay the hell out of this Tleigh!" He shouts back. "You know nothing about this. You don't know who was KILLED." He says the word killed with force emphasising on each syllable.

Wait Tleigh?

I look at him in horror my eyes gauging out. He's angry of course I Know that. But why is he calling me Tleigh? It's my name but it's bitter when it comes out of his mouth. It sounds distasteful almost.

I don't know who was killed?

"Yeah, you know nothing." His voice startles me again from my train of thoughts. I said that loud? Oh shit.

"Damn it Bally!" I shriek out both in fear and anger. " I know nothing of course but can you at least give the lady a chance to explain herself! She has a reason why she did what she did and the least you can do is let her talk!" I literally yell at him my heart pounding extraordinary in my chest. I've never been worked out like this before.

He can be an asshole sometimes but today, I understand what he must be feeling deep down. Growing up without a mum, being despised at school and what I don't know...then you found out you had your mum with you all along, except she was your nanny!

I understand Cassandra too, she was afraid she may never see her son again. Even though it hurt her to not acknowledge him as his son, she was happy that she got the chance to watch him grow from a small kid he was to the man he is now.

"The fuck you tell me what to do!" He throws a kick to the deck beside him and his left hand collides with the wall. God his knuckles are bursted.
And how it is scaring the guts out of me...

Tbc....
