Katherine:
I watched as Enzo got ready for the day.The man hasn’t spoken to me since the other day, and for a moment, I did think that he would tell me that he was to decide against the ultrasound.
To my rotten luck, he didn’t.
“Alonso has school…”
“I already told them that we were going to the hospital. He was coming with us. You don’t need to worry about it.” Enzo said, stopping me. It was the first full sentence that he’s told me in days, and though I couldn’t help but find myself being angry with him, I had to admit that I did miss him speaking to me. The bond that the two of us had seemed to perish under the weight of everything that we were going through, and it was painful for me.
“Enzo, you’re avoiding talking to me..”
“You know my reasons,” he said, stopping me. “Now, get ready, we are leaving in a bit.”
He walked out of the room without saying a word, and I couldn’t help but find myself tearing up. The fear that I had of today was one that I couldn’t describe, but I knew that I was going to have to play along. Whatever was going to happen; I was just going to have to deal with it.
I put on my mascara and walked out, knowing that there was no escaping this now. The man had his canines buried deep inside my neck. Testing my luck, with Alaria here, was not something that I was going to be able to do. He was only going to run to her.
My eyes met hers, and she raised an eyebrow at me. I walked toward her, my anger getting the best of me.
“Do you have no dignity?” I asked, shaking my head in question. She crossed her arms over her chest, waiting for what I had to say. I was still shocked about how she managed to speak to Alonso. Hell, the boy was going to her room to study now, and it happened EVEN when I was in the house.
“Do you want to tell me what you’re going on about? Or are you going to allow me to leave? As I have things to do and judging by your outfit, so do you.” She said, her tone colder than it has ever been. The calmness that she was in annoyed me. I couldn’t even frame her for making me lose the baby.
“He kissed me.” She said, stating the fact that I knew all too well. I didn’t want to admit it, but I knew that she was right. “If there is anyone to speak to about it, have the courage to speak to him. Now, get the hell out of my sight.”
She walked past me without bothering to look at me, and I took a breath. She was my last hope, but even that seems to have failed.
I walked toward Enzo, whose eyes were fixed on Alaria as she walked out the door.
“The woman was outside a while ago, and she is leaving again?” I asked, breaking his train of thoughts. The last thing that I wanted was for his gaze to be fixed on her. I didn’t want to think nor did I want to consider what he could be thinking about her.
“She is neither a child, nor am I her father.” Enzo said, making me frown. Had it been me, the man would have made me regret it. “Are you ready? Alonso is already in the car waiting for us. I was just coming here to get you…”
