Jorde and I were sitting in a restaurant at the airport while we ate our breakfast."How are you feeling?" He asked me and I shrugged lightly."Like shit. I want Calix to come walking through those doors to stop me but I know that it will never happen." I told Jorde and he nodded."You really love him don't you?" Jorde asked and I nodded."I do." I said under my breath and my appetite suddenly disappeared. "You know it's not always gonna hurt. You're gonna get to a place one day where you feel okay with what happened and with how your life turned out." Jorde said and I frowned at him."Are you sure?" I asked him and he chuckled."Of course I'm sure. I've been there, you're too young to be this broken Nevaeh." He said and I bit into my bottom lip."You're right." I told him and he placed his hand on mine so I just smiled at him.Jorde looked down to his watch and both of his eyebrows shot up. "Where did the time go? We need to go." He said and I got up while he called the waiter over
"Hey sis." Vicente said from my bedroom door so I smiled at him."What's up?" I asked and he shrugged before pouting."Wanna go shopping?" He asked and I smiled excitedly."Yes, please. I'm so bored." I said and he chuckled."Just please no girl talk." He said so I rolled my eyes at him."What's the definition of girl talk?" I asked and he frowned."I don't know you guys tend to talk about awkward stuff like clothes and feelings." He said and I bursted out laughing."Fine I'll talk about the weather." I said before jumping up from my bed. "Okay honest opinion. Does this dress make me look fat?" I asked and Vicente frowned."No." He said and I narrowed my eyes at him."Why did you respond so quickly? Are you saying I'm too skinny or are you lying?" I asked and his eyes widened."Shit that was a trick question." He said and I just breathed out before relaxing. "You look beautiful, Mija." Our dad said while standing in the door."Thanks dad." I said before hugging him and pulling Vicent
"Yes." I said under my breath."Yeah?" He asked and I nodded."Yes, Calix I'll marry you." I said before I went down on my knees to kiss him."I promise that I will never doubt you again. I'm so sorry baby." He said while holding my face in his hands."I forgive you." I said before kissing him again."Hey congrats!" Vicente said and our body guards cheered us on in excitement and Calix and I smiled before getting up from the floor."You knew all along?" I asked Vicente and he nodded while smiling broadly."This couldn't have happened without Vicente." Calix said before chuckling."And how long has this been going on?" I asked and Vicente snorted before laughing."Since we flew back from Bulgaria." He said and my jaw dropped."But you said-""Do you know how hard it was for me to lie to her. She was so close to crying." Vicente told Calix. "It was so sad bro." He said and I hit his shoulder."I told you she wouldn't cry. You owe me fifty bucks." Calix said and Vicente touched his heart
"I'm okay." Calix said softly so I opened my eyes. I noticed that my dad was lying on the ground."Get her out of here!" Vicente yelled at Calix before he went over to grab my dad's gun. He wrestled with our dad over the gun and I cried while Calix led us out of the store."Vicente no!" I yelled in fear then we heard another loud shot go off and my breathing stopped for a split second."Jose! Let the boy go. This is between you and me so let's settle this once and for all." Calix's dad said and the room dawned in silence."Why is your dad here?" I asked Calix and he frowned deeply."Vasquez." My dad said in disgust. Wait aren't they running the family mafia together? Why does it look like they hate each other?"I should've killed her when I had the chance." Mr Vasquez said and I froze up. Wait- It was him?"You killed my mom?" I asked in pain. "I should've killed you instead." He said bluntly. "You're gonna be the end of our family. You don't belong here." He said rudely."I'll fucki
We stopped in front of the hospital and Calix stumbled out of the car. I opened my door and he gently lifted me into his arms.As soon as we entered the hospital the yelling of nurses and doctors were heard. "I love you." I said before they ripped me out of his arms."I love you too." He said while they checked the bloody wound on his stomach. The doctor told him something but he seemed angry."No I have to be with her!" He yelled in frustration."Help him!" I yelled before the doctors took me into a room. They pinned me to the bed before putting me under anesthesia.Three Weeks Later"Calix." I said as soon as I opened my eyes.I slowly sat upright before looking around the room. There was a lady sitting in a chair watching me."Mija." She said softly and I frowned."Where's Calix?" I cried sadly and she stood up from the chair."Calm down, mija." She said before taking my hand into her own.I pushed the button above my head and a few seconds later the doctor entered my room."Where
"Heaven." I heard from behind me so I smiled broadly."What are you doing?" He whispered into my ear so I turned around."I miss you Calix." I said sadly."Don't be sad bubba. We'll be together very soon. I'm coming home." He said before kissing me softly."Calix!" I yelled as I jumped upright in my bed. I searched the covers for him but he wasn't there. "No! Please come back!" I cried painfully.It's been seven months now. And I miss him with everything inside of me. I can't believe he's gone.They told me that he was dead.But I refused to believe any of them. He's coming back for me. He always comes back."Nevaeh. Are you okay?" I heard Vicente ask so I shook my head. He wrapped his arms around me while patting my back."This has been going on for months now. You need to stop." He said softly."Stop what? Loving him?" I questioned angrily."Stop torturing yourself and the baby." He snapped at me."I can't mano. I can't get him out of my head. I know he's coming back. He's not dea
After eating breakfast with my dad I slowly walked upstairs. Damn I have a big belly. Just as I breathed out in exhaustion my legs suddenly became wet.My eyes widened. Please don't tell me I just tinkled. I looked down to my legs and my heart started pounding faster in my chest."Dad! Mano! Kelly!" I cried out to them. I stood frozen in my spot until they reached me. "I think my water just broke!" I said in panic."Calm down and breathe." Kelly told me so I imitated her breaths. Why do you have to breathe like this when you're in labour? It's so weird."Breathe mija." My dad said calmly while he held his phone against his ear. "The ambulance will take too long!" My dad yelled so Vicente gently picked me up into his arms before heading outside. He gently placed me into the car before speeding down to the hospital.We arrived in a few minutes and the pain was only increasing."Get her out of me!" I yelled at Vicente who's eyes widened."On it." He said in panic before jumping out of
I dressed Carmella before taking a picture of her with my instant camera. I placed it aside before picking her up into my arms and rocking her back and forth.I'm so in love with this little human. And I've only known her for a month. She fell asleep in my arms so I laid her down in her crib. I went into the hallway and called Lola her babysitter."Please don't leave her alone. At all. Call me or my dad if anything seems suspicious to you. Oh and we're still on for tomorrow." I told her and she smiled."What if I have to use the bathroom?" She asked and I frowned at her."Are you serious? You hold it in Lola." I told her and her smile dropped."Got it." She said so I breathed out slowly. I really don't wanna leave her with some strange seventeen year old. I know I'm only two years older than Lola but still-"Okay." I told her and she nodded before taking a seat next to the crib. I left the room before going downstairs.I was wearing a short black silk dress matched with a pair of st
