Jordan couldn't believe it she had buried this behind her and never thought of it again she was in a bad place. At that time she had just lost her husband and she lashed out never in a million years did she think this would come back to bite her. But she loved Curtis and she needs him to understand that she was hurting.

That she never meant to take it that far just then TJ came in he stood for a minute trying to find the words. " Baby I need you to listen to me" Jordan says when he held his hand up stopping her. As he shook his head" No mom I seen the video with my own eyes you always do this my dad, your husband and Uncle Curtis.

You make a shitstorm of our lives and we forgive you EVERY TIME AND FUCKING FOOLS OF US. NOT THIS TIME THIS TIME IS IT YOU KNOW I FOUGHT THAT KID MY COUSIN UNCLE CURTIS SON. EVERY TIME HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT I DEFEND YOU MOM, YOU TAUGHT THAT WRONG WAS WRONG AND RIGHT WAS RIGHT.

Remember that I guess it just didn't apply to you right because you hurt and destroy people and don't care. About what you do to other people you have proven you don't know what love is. I was so sure that they were wrong and that their mom was just jealous.

She wasn't she had every right to feel the way she did nobody else matters but what you want. Tell me something mom why uncle Curtis" TJ says, she's not going to tell you that. Isn't that right Jordan here's why to destroy his life how he destroyed hers by telling. Her husband the truth and to top off she gets to stick it Elena basically.

Saying she won because your mother duped Curtis into loving her it was about revenge. If she wasn't going to have a happy ending with Tommy he wasn't going to have one with Elena. Few years ago Curtis searched her up and even bought a plane ticket to Miami. And I'm guessing this was right about the time she gained interest in him.

He and Elle were both single at the time it would have been prime time for he and Elle to speak. But she couldn't have that she wasn't done she felt that Elle had to suffer. Like losing a child and raising two others on her own two that craved a father's existence. You didn't care because she couldn't live in her bubble right Jordan.

So you manipulated Curtis every chance you got That forgiving dumb bastard you knew it was coming the moment you found out about the kids. He would be like fucking Lassie the moment he saw her but you had to pitch a tent all you really did. Was speed up the process by the time he found out you were playing him he was being shot.

But you know what I hope you enjoy prison bitch oh yeah and TJ you should really look into who your father really is. Because kid when I look at you I don't see Shawn Butler or his sister I see Tommy Ashford.

I met him him back in the day stand-up guy she never deserved him karma is a bitch Jordan. Hey kid I almost forgot she was the reason you were kidnapped and beat up and when your fiancee asked she lied to her that you didn't want her anymore. In which Molly started drinking and crashed her car but Sam found her" Orlando said with a smirk as he left.

TJ looked at her in disbelief watching his mother his emotions all over the place. "TJ baby don't listen to him they are out to get me I am being framed" Jordan pleaded. Shaking his head"No mom I'm done I can't believe anything you say because you have lied to me a million times over.

And the funny thing is you never said you were sorry you said you would do it all over again. Your never sorry for the things you do you just wish they wouldn't find out its the only thing you would change.

Uncle Curtis was right maybe if you told your husband the truth there wouldn't had been so many casualties in your lies" he said slamming the door. When he came out he walked straight unto Molly's waiting arms that's when Starr walked up. "TJ Ashford I believe this belongs to you and Shawn should look at it together" Starr said before walking away.


General Hospital

"What do you mean Jordan wasn't even there" he asked Angela sighs" she was there Curtis I saw the videos myself. You were driving so incredibly slow and careful and my guess was you were high. But the moment Elle got in that car you were driving like a snail and some flashed lights in your direction.

Which caused you to think you were going to hit something so you swerve to not hit something then you crashed" Angela says. As she took out the recording with live audio and played it for him because it was the only way. That he would be able to see that he was innocent deep down she hoped it would give her best friends.

A chance at what they lost she loved Orlando but she knew that him and Elena weren't together love. They may love each but not the way two people should being in a relationship. She knew both of them enough to know that they are comfortable. With never being hurt again and they didn't have to worry about that with each other.

Curtis watched in horror and disbelief as he sobbed like a baby that's when Drew , Sam and Starr came in. Making them stop as Starr stood watching a grown man sobbed the way he did. All she and his aunt did was hugged him Angela was hurt for him. Because she knew just how much he loved Elena she was there watching them fall in love.

He cried tears of the hurt a massive amount of deception he wasn't just crying for himself. Curtis was crying for Elena who thought that he never loved her his kids who grew up fatherless. A son that looked like him who died after he was born everything that he missed like watching his kids grow up.

All of it he was to forgiving for his own good and she played him he should have just reached out to her. Maybe he would have this pain in his chest now he knew how Tommy felt he forgave after what she did like a fool. That's when the tears stopped and the anger and the rage set in what he didn't know was Sam and Drew had left giving him his moment.

Pulling back as he wiped his eyes" I'm good umm Starr how fast can you get me a lawyer I need to divorce this bitch and now. She played me for a fool she cost me everything so I'm going to make sure she loses everything. I was so stupid thinking that I was guilty I held so much blame thinking I should have just kept my mouth shut.

Hell he was my big brother and I couldn't Ang I'm sorry for everything I never understood how I got home. Or cleaned up I just thought I left" Curtis says, her ex partner took you home and cleaned you up. And did his recourse to make you sober up it was to make you believe you would. I don't know if it was about you or not Hutu know she wanted to destroy Elle.

Do you remember all those times guys would hit on her and be relentless that was her doing as well. I'm sorry Curtis but I knew you , I knew my friend and it never made sense that you left her to me. Hell you wouldn't leave her for little things like minor injuries. But you left her when her life was on the line no, uh uh ah that didn't make sense now we know why" Angela said.

Clearing his throat "Umm i need to be alone right now no Auntie please just give me some time to absorb this. Starr I love you and your brothers I'm sorry I have been a fool I flaunted that bitch in front of your mother i was a damn fool for forgiving her.

And I know your mother well enough to know that she will never forgive and I deserve it but it doesn't. Stop me from wanting what was stolen from me" Curtis says with a fresh batch of tears.

Forming in his in his eyes as he hugged her wishing he could do things all over again he was a sucker but no more he would show everyone. They all left leaving him to his own thoughts as he laid back as the tears ran down his face freely.

Flashback

They were at the restaurant when Wilson his girlfriend Carmen , Curtis and Trent came. "Ang what's Curtis said with a grin plopping down next to her when he saw the other girl sitting next to her. When she looked up she had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen he didn't even know what color it was.

Angela just shook her head slapping him on the arm"Curtis, Wilson, Carmen and Trent this is my Friend from school Elena" she says introducing them. Curtis stuck his hand out"it's nice to meet you Elena I'm Curtis the rest of them are not important. You have really amazing eyes what color is that" he asked as his friends watched him.

Before Elle could answer Wilson girlfriend did she was a little full of herself"their obviously contacts Curtis she says shaking her head. Which made Elena smirked as she looked at Angela" there actually not not contacts but real eye color. And to answer your questions pa it's Amber and change colors" she replied shaking his hand.

Looking Curtis straight in the eyes that's the moment he was hooked as Trent started laughing hysterically" I guess she told you she cool by me Ang" he says giving Elle a high five. As he continued to laugh making Carmen more upset as she crossed her arms with a huff. They all know she was upset as Curtis turned back to her making her smile.

" So where you from" he asked just as Elle was going to answers Carmen says" how old are you because you look young" with an attitude. That's when Elle's face lit up Angela turned her head because she knew it was going to happen. It's why they clicked they were similar blunt and straight to the point" ay, cariña, ¿qué es? Eh, estar aquí amenaza tu existencia, así que esto es lo que vamos a hacer, desciende un poco y no avergonzaré tu trasero" (Oh por little babe what is it huh my being here threatens your existence so here's what we are going to do you take it down a notch and I won't embarrass your ass) Elle said with a smile.

All the while everyone else watched on Angela almost felt bad for Wilson always having to baby this over grown child. "Wilson no quiero estar aquí" she says crossing her arms against her chest as the guys watched him. "Pero dijiste que saldrías con mis amigos como si fuera tuyo" Wilson answered as she huffed and puffed. Only making Elle laugh even more which made Angela laugh because the girl had a knack for being petty as hell.

"pero cariño, no les gusta y sé que Angela está haciendo esto a propósito porque sabe que no me gustan otras chicas a tu alrededor " Carmen says in a whining tone. Rolling her eyes at Angela who chuckled "Ante diablo eres uno de esos que carajo y Angela no me dijo nada she mentioned food and I was game" she replies to the whiny woman. Who just scoffed and rolled her eyes as she got up stomping as she stormed out he bar and grill as Wilson sighed.

Which only made his friends laugh even more " Can i get a two burgers and fries with a strawberry milkshake and a chocolate one two" he says. Making his friends continue to laugh hysterically as he shrugged and shook his head "Was it something I said" Elle says sarcastically.

With a hint of mischief in her eyes "Angela I like her where you from little mama" Trent asked. As Curtis watched her every move " Well i'm from Brooklyn originally but i live in Miami and I'm 17 but my birthday is in two weeks" she said honestly.

And that is what Angela loved about her she was honest to a fault but watching her and Curtis she knew they were into each other. "Wait a minute she's in med school how y'all know each other Curtis asked, I know I too am in medical School" she answers with a grin.

That he was sold on "When's your birthday" he asked bluntly, as she smile "Like i said it's in two weeks October 26" Elle replies. His boys was shaking his their heads "so parents just allow that" Wilson said.

Trying to rectify his girlfriends suspicions "Yeah my brother and my cousin is right there his wife is at the house with the kids" she said. Waving at Ross and Santiago the guys all turned around and looked when Curtis got up making Trent jump up. So did Wilson " are you crazy your twenty two going your going to be twenty three she can't get into a bar nothing" he says.

Hoping to deter his friend " Actually I can money can get you in whatever place I want" she says nonchalantly shrugging her arms. "That's only four years" Curtis says continuing on getting Santiago and Ross Trent pushed him back. "Are stupid she is a kid man Angela talk to your best friend" Trent says, Curtis this is the girl you were talking to on the phone every time you called my place. And i actually think you guys would be cute together but you should wait until she's 18" Angela said.

When Curtis smiled "I know I'm a cop your forgot and plus i called early she said you were in the shower. And I suggested she come out with you and so I could meet her" he said with a grin, turning to Elena who smiled. "You conned me" Ang says as Elle gave her the innocent look as the older girl slapped her arm. As Santiago and Ross laughed "I love you Angela Kai Reed" Elle says trying not to smile.

Only making Angela shakes her head "No bitch you totally conned me no using your evil superpowers on your friends" she say. Shoving Elle gently who hugged her covering her face with her jacket 'No it wasn't me it was his idea blame him i'm just some dumb kid as he puts it" Elena says.

With Curtis chuckling as Ang shoved him "you set me up with your punk ass" she said. When Ross put his hand up " Nah Santi i got this you will cave and give her what she wants your a big softy bro Look homie I will normally say no but she will be eighteen in two weeks.

We are having a big party for her Pops will be in town now if he says yes which I doubt then that's it you can be her friend and that it" Ross says. "Curtis i get it she's cute and all but really man" his boys says,"WILSON!" Carmen called as he looked at his friend and nodded. "She summoning you man you should go" Curtis says his mind was already made up he like her nobody knew they exchanged numbers.

They had been talking for the last couple of weeks and even Angela didn't know she was a cool she made him laugh and smile. So he wanted to get to know her more she already told him her age she was straight forward about it. Which threw him for a loop because most would have lied but she didn't she told him she hated liars she would be honest from the gate. "Don't do anything stupid" Wilson said paying for his food and leaving with his girlfriend "bye Nena" Elle said with a wave.

Two weeks later they showed up "This is the house" Trent asked, yeah this is the one it's the correct address"Angela said. Parking the car and getting out grabbing the present out of the car as Curtis checked his breath and himself out.

"Curtis she is a kid she can't even drink" Carmen said rolling his eyes "Last time i checked you and her didn't get along and you left in a huff. And Wil thought i was doing something stupid and I think otherwise she is cool people and where ever her and I decide to go is my business" he said ringing the doorbell.

He had on a burgundy blazer with black jeans and shoes with a black short sleeve shirt when a woman opened the door. "Hey Angela and guest thank you for coming you didn't have to get this bitch nothing she's got enough trust me she's been spoiled today" Kat said.

They laughed these are my friends, Curtis, Trent, Wilson and his girlfriend Carmen now how spoiled we talking" Angela chuckled. "Like really, really spoiled new car, new apartment without Santi but down the hall from Ross and his fiancee" she replied.

"Oh god can't stand her spoiled ass" she says laughing knowing Elle heard her, but you love me Angela " Elle says as Curtis mouth dropped. She had on a burgundy and black sweater dress with black boots that came up to her thighs with her hair down. "Hi how are you guys you stole my color" she says with a smile hugging and kissing all of them except Wilson and Carmen.

But saving Curtis for last Kat and Angela shook their head as she lead them inside to the party "god their so cute and matchy lord help us" Kat whispered to Angela.

"Wow this is a dope set up" Trent says , damn what does her father do for a living jesus " Wilson says as Carmen held on to him for dear life. As the walked into the party Melky was DJing the music was blaring there was several seating this was like no party they had ever been too. That's when Angela spotted Elle's father with her uncles that's when her mother came over "Angela how are you doing how's your parent's who are your friends" Esmerelda asked hugging her.

The young woman hugged her back "Hi Mrs. Tavares they are well my mom said that y'all should have lunch before you guys leave. And these are my friends Curtis, Trent , Wilson and Carmen" she says looking at them. When Kat stood next to her "Oh lord their like cute and matchy" Esme whispered to Kat who bursted into laughter.

" Ma I said the same thing" Kat says with a big grin when Elle whispered something to Curtis before taking his hand and leading him to where her father was. While Kat distracted everyone else "Papi this is the guy I was telling you about" Elle said biting the bullet.

They talk all stopped Manolo put his drink down and looked up at them before turning to others" are they matching she's setting me up isn't she" he whispered. Making Florio and Carlos laugh trying to lighten the mood "Nena you look beautiful come have a drink with your Tio and play some dominoes" Carlos said.

Not being able to say no but knowing they were setting her up to see if she would spill anything they had been giving her beers since the party started.

She was hesitant at first "what you afraid Nena" Joe says knowing that she would never turn down a challenge because she was her father's daughter. Her head jerked "What hell no Tio Chuck sucks at Dominoes and Tio Joe always gives himself away when he has to much and the only one of you that are any good.

Is Tio Carlos because he doesn't trash talk he just plays he taught me so really what's up" Elena said crossing her arms.

That's when she looked up Curtis was gone so was her dad that's when it hit her "You guys suck" she said sitting down. Taking the drink from Big Chuck and shuffling the dominoes as they all laughed "your good Nena but we have been doing this longer.

Now you, Sammy, Mona , KK and JT are good but not like us but the good thing is you'll get there eventually. Meanwhile in the office "Sit down son would you like something to drink" Manolo asked pouring him a drink anyway.

Not even giving him a chance to answer then passing it to him Curtis watched the man he was built that much he could see. He could also see that the man loved his daughter very much sitting down in front of Curtis who felt like he was in the principals office.

"Tha.. thanks sir" the young man said before clearing his throat remember what she told him sitting straight up. Manolo smirked " so i heard you want to date my daughter now i'm not going to do the usual what are your intentions bs.

Because quiet frankly it's not your intentions i'm worried about because i see you haven't gotten it yet she picked you. And son there was no other choice for you now tell me why should I trust you with my daughter she is eighteen wouldn't to be with someone your age. Sleeping with countless nameless woman" he said, Curtis looked at him strangely "What do you mean she choose me"only making the older man laugh.

"Son my daughter is very picky about who she spends time with experience has taught her not to waste time. So her talking to you out of all the guys that having been hounding me to talk to her but you are different.

And here's how I know the moment you saw her when you walked through that door Curtis Byron Ashford youngest son of Hank and Henrietta Ashford. That look on your face spoke volumes so tell me why I should trust you with my daughter" he says.

His eyes widened looking the man straighten in the eye "Because i think she's a cool girl i like her alot and If given a chance I will never leave her side. And Mr. Tavares I don't know the future but from the moment i spoke to her i felt pulled to her and it was like nothing i never felt before. Yes I could be with others my age but that's not what I want look forward to talking to her because she's blunt and honest.

About everything and she doesn't sugarcoat things and I don't care that she's younger then me it's not a big deal either" Curtis says. Nodding his head " I can respect that but my job as a father is to protect her until she is old enough to do her so herself.

Then let her go to the man she chooses to share her life with and I hope i can trust you with that I don't have to try to intimidate you. Because I know she can defend herself so as you get to know her I get to know you that's how one builds trust so what do you say"Manolo says.

Standing up and Curtis got up as well" I would say yes sir that sound good" the young man answered trying to stay calm. But on the inside he was excited to see where they would go he wasn't lying he did like her alot.

Stretching his hand out Manolo shook his hand "good' the man says when the girl that opened the door that opened the door for them came in with a guy. "So what's the verdict daddy O" Olly says, I going to give Mr. Ashford a chance oh this is her older brother Manolo Jr.

But we call him Oliver and his wife Katherine Olly looked from his father back to Curtis then laughed "Well good luck then brother because your going to need it"He says laughing.

That's when Kat looked him straight in the eyes " You hurt her I will strap dynamite to your body and blow you sky fucking how but good luck" Kat says going from serious to smiling. Which freaked Curt the hell out but nothing would rain on his parade tonight he was going to go and dance with birthday girl.

From the moment it that was it when he walked out the den to her smiling dancing around as her uncles watched her all who wore a shocked expression. When their eyes connected they both smiled "Papi i beat them all" she says, it was a straight win to Tio it wasn't a mercy birthday win either" Ramona said.

Curtis tried to be cool but he was too excited as he reached for her hand "you want to dance" he asked. Her face lit up and that when he saw it her eyes did change colors "Hell yeah let's go" Elle says as they walked to the dance floor.

Tears steadily came down there face hurt of everything coming up and bubbling over with no place to go but to come out.
