CHAPTER SIXTY ONE - IF I FALL
MARIA
DISCLAIMER:
THIS MIGHT BE A MILDLY EMOTIONAL CHAPTER.
~
Its hard to find love,
In a world that offers so little,
But one that freely comes,
Is that in which a true mother gives to you.

"Mother" I yelled as i ran down the corridor before the guards gripped my wrinkled clothes.
There was crack in my voice as i succumbed to the tears that proceeded to fall down my cheeks.
"Mama" I struggled so weakly to withdraw before i fell to the ground. "She's gone-" I whispered.
"She's gone" Gloria added as she broke into tears.
But that isn't where we'll start off-
It was one hell of a crazy day.

JACQUELINE"What are you doing here?" Wu asked as she stood."You and I both know if you didn't want to see me, you wouldn't have come out" I said, walking over to the table she sat across.My eyes trailed the ticking clock, hoping i had time before the visiting hours are over."I want you to meet someone" I said before Mason walked in from the corridor, his hands in his back pocket as he stopped at our table."This is Mason Sullivan, Ruby's father" I introduced before she let out a shrill laugh that just burst out.But looking back to my straight expression, she raised her palms to her lips, a soft gasp escaping it."That means Albert-" She paused to assessed Mason as he sat, his expression nothing but calm."Did she know about this?" Wu asked as i shrugged my shoulders in reply, loosening my jac

I placed my hand across her lower back before walking towards the table."Maria" Marc's eyes gleamed in surprise as i sat across."Marc" I called and a smirk formed on his lips."Your boys, i think they're going to be fine.

WUTHE NIGHT OF THE MURDERLike every bad decision i ever made, it all started in a bar-The colors of street lights smeared from behind the blurring glass by the sides of the less eccentric bar closer to my house.I turned around, stealing glances each time i heard the ding sound of the opening door-It was as if i was reliving that night all over again, but this time, clearer.Soon, after looking at the fast paced clock and then at the text that displayed on my phoneWu: Can we talk? At the bar down the block--i decided to leave, finally letting it sink that all of this was a not a good idea.But then, she walked in with her hands in her black leather jacket and her eyes behind a darker shade of her usual glasses,-probably because she

I asked and she gave an eye roll- "Probably down the block or somewhere" She shrugged her shoulders before walking off."Thanks" I said, turning to Jules."At least now i don't have to worry about rent and utilities-" I joked with a smile as i turned to the box."Ever since Harry, and you know, working shifts in a coffee shop ain't gonna pay my rent" I paused after she let out a shrill laughter."I'm sorry about, Wu" She said, hesitantly."Oh, it's not your fault-" I waved off with a scoff."I did testify about the
