Chapter 7
"So Fitz who is it?"
"Who is what?"
"Your dad?"
"This going to take some getting used to but you but you know him."
"Who is he?"
"My dad is ."
"What!"
"I know it's crazy right?"
"Yeah it's crazy. So how is he, like as a person?"
"Actually he's great we talked about my mom and he said that he was really sorry for leaving me but that he thought it was the best thing for me and if he knew what happened with mom would have happened he would never have left."
"What happened with your mom?"
"She killed herself."
"Oh my God Fitz why?"
"She couldn't live without my dad and he faked his own death because he thought the gang stuff would stop."
"Oh so wait does that mean…?"
"Pereno was in a gang," we both said at once and burst into laughter.
We finally caught our breath and I looked at Clare in silence she would never know how happy she made me, God I loved her and she was looked so beautiful I wished I could just put life on pause and live in that moment forever.
"Clare your beautiful."
"Thank you but where did that come from?"
"I was just looking at you and thought you deserved to know."
"Well thank you Fitz."
"You're welcome Clare."
a\n: Bianca's P.O.V. flashback
It was June 26th, the most devastating event of my life. I went over to Fitz's house to hang out with him and his older brother who I admit I had a crush on. Fitz lived with his brother I knocked and when no one answered I just walked in and went straight to his room. when I saw him I knew right away that something was wrong he was crying. At this point I had known Fitz for three years and it did not seem like he was the type to cry so I knew something was bad.
"Fitz Oh my God what's wrong?"
"Bianca, didn't the fact that I didn't open the door tell you that I didn't want to talk?"
"Fine. Where's Derrick?"
"Bianca shut up!"
"Oh so your mad at him. why?"
"I'm not mad at him he freaking died."
"What," I said and started to cry.
"Why the hell are your crying he was my fucking brother! you had a stupid crush on him you have no reason to be upset!"
"It wasn't just a crush I loved him!"
"You did not your fucking thirteen!"
"I matured really fast."
"I don't give a damn just get out!"
"Fine whatever," I said and ran off crying.
And from that day on I realized that pushing people away when he needed them the was the defense mechanism Fitz set up to protect himself and since today was the three year aniversery of Derrick's death I decided to spend it with him.
a\n okay so a couple last notes thank you everyone who reviewed so far it means a lot to me and sorry if I spelled pereno's name wrong.
