Beneath Her Delusions

🎀Chapter 25🎀

Khalil's POV

She stole away from the  glance, tears spilling down her eyes. I rushed out the stool and embraced her. I held her so close I could tell she could feel my heart racing.

She had a child for him. I felt  so confused I had never seen her with a child. My mind thought of anything or account that would resemble any childish reason but nothing came to mind. I thought she still loved him but no, she had a little version of him, she had a piece of him that still connected them together. I felt broken.

She led me to up the stairs to our bedroom and we laid facing each other. Her blue were sad, she sniffed continuously.

Then she answered the question I didn't know I needed the answer to. My eyes widened.

"I killed it"

Barely a whisper but I heard her. She felt guilty. She was broken filled with regret but she was stronger than as she thought she was. I hated seeing her like this. Looking into her eyes all could see was pain. For a moment I thought about Mason. He was going to be a father and she stripped him of that opportunity.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Mason" I replied honestly.

"Why?" She asked harshly sitting up.

"I mean come on you were married and you got pregnant. You do know he has the same right over the child as you do" I said propping my head up with my shoulder.

"Same right? Same right?" She stands up yelling
"He cheated on me.. on our matrimonial bed, are you really supporting him right now?. Are you freaking kidding me?"

"Look I'm sorry I'm sorry" I get up and hold her to me
"He lost a child I get he cheated on you. He is a fucking asshole but he also lost a child that he clearly has no idea about. If I was in his place I would feel horrible" I try to explain to her fiddling with her hair.

"Don't fucking touch me" She slaps my hand away
"I don't believe you right now"

"Riana c'mon I'm just being real.."

"Realistic? That's your excuse. You know what I'm not having this with you" Waving her hands in air, she moves to her dresser and begins picking clothes. I rush over, grab her arm but she snatches it away and raises a finger to me.
"Don't. Touch. Me"

"Jesus riana I was being honest isn't that the whole point of this conversation and this relationship" I tried explaining.

"Is it? I expected a partner, a companion not a freaking judge "

"I'm not judging you for Pete's sake I'm simply talking to you. I'm being open to you because i love you" I reach out touch but she moves backwards shaking her head.
"Please riana let's go back to bed" I plead

She closed her eyes before it snapped open again. She moved backwards again creating more space.

"I needed you to hold me and tell me I was going to get over it. I needed you to kiss me and tell me you'd be here for me but no you judged me and I regret ever telling you anything" Her expression hardened. She stilled her gaze on mine breathing heavily.
"Don't call me"  She turned to go.

I planned on running after her, pleading but my ego had other plans. My feet stood rooted and my mouth opened without my permission.
"I wasn't planning on it"

She sharply turned to her and glared deadly at me.
"No wonder your mom pushes people away from you, your not worth it Khalil" She spat.

I froze.

Her eyes softened for a second. Just a second.

"See your self out" Adriana had officially pushed that button.

She wiped a stray tear and left. I could hear her footsteps on the stairs before she slammed the front door. The silence and pain that came after was a sore sensation.

################################

Another shot after another shot, i was aiming to be crazy hungover drunk. Very. Henry had been babysitting me since Adriana left. Work had been tough, Dads vexing the hell out of me and Damien found my life's trails hilarious.

"Seriously!" April uttered once she pulling the glass out my hands.

"He's been here all week. All freaking week i've been babysitting his ass" Henry complained

"Oh shut up you too did the same thing when Josie starting dating that Actor" April said

My head shot up.
"What if she's seeing someone else?"

"Shes not, she better than that"  Damien walked in, a blunt between his teeth.

"Are you taking her side? She brought up my mom!... in an argument! " I yelled angrily

"Yes but she told you her deepest darkest secret and you took her ex-husband's side" Damien shrugged

"I didn't I just told her my point of view"

"I have to side with Kay on this one...." Henry said

"Why won't you, you guys are literally two sides of the Same coin" April intercepted

"I mean c'mon she aborted the child without thinking of Mason. I get he cheated it was terrible but it's also his child" Henry tells April.

"She was angry, shocked and broken and she probably just found out not so long ago before he cheated. She made a rash decision we all do" Damien argued

I groaned trying to drown out their blabbering. Her eyes flashed through my mind, her soft brown curls she loved whenever I fiddled with them. The sound she made whenever she giggled or how she always looked sexy without trying. All my canvases were filled with her face.

I loved her.

So much.

But she crossed the line. The freaking red line.
