Whoa, whoa.Did she just say she wanted a new mother? Was she talking about me?
I didn't say anything back to her; I just kept on driving to "Baskin Robins" like Dom told me to. I looked in my view mirror Aaliyah just started humming and kicking her feet at the air. I smiled; she was deadly cute. Did I say that before?
After we got to our destination, I ordered some mint ice-cream and Aaliyah ordered bubble-gum ice cream. I paid for it and we sat down. "When are we gonna go home?" She asked and started licking her ice-cream.
"As soon as I know it's safe to go back." I answered. She looked at me with those big brown eyes.
"Daddy talked 'bout you lots."
"Oh, really?" I asked, sounding a lot bitchier than I meant to which scared the little girl.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you mad." She said quietly, sinking in her seat a little. Damn, now I feel bad.
"Nah, it's okay. I'm just a little grumpy, that's all."
She suddenly perked up, "Okay! Anyways, he said he missed you and he would do anything to have you back! Whatever that means." She giggled. Shit, now I feel even worse. I don't know what to do anymore. I mean, I could help Dom raise a child if Kat leaves. Yeah, maybe I could.
The thought of raising a child, even if it wasn't mine, with Dom pushed away all the negatives of my thoughts. I smiled to myself; I need to talk to Dom.but what if Kat is going to stay?
After a while Aaliyah and I were on the road again. I decided to cross a bridge to give Dom more time to talk to Kat. I would still make it home, just it would take longer. Aaliyah seemed to like looking out the windows since that's what she's been doing this whole time. My cell phone rang and I had to search through my purse to find it. "Hello?"
It was Dom, "Yeah, hey. What's up?"
"Nothing. Just coming back from getting ice cream. How'd things go with Kat?"
It was silent for a while and I thought I asked the wrong thing until Dom spoke up again. "She left. I'm happy and not happy about it. Happy she's gone but I don't think I can raise Aaliyah-"
"Letty! Look out!!!!!!" My head jerked up at Aaliyah's screams just in time to see the stopped car in front of me. I screamed and swerved to the right only to fly off the bridge. Aaliyah screamed a piercing scream and I don't know why but before we plunged into the icy lake, I punched a whole in the window.
Once we landed in the lake, the rear view mirror hit my head. I feel like sinking right here, right now but then I knew I couldn't. I couldn't let Aaliyah's life be ruined.or mine.
With the water up to my knees, I unbuckled myself and quickly looked in the back seat. Aaliyah was still sitting, knocked out. I panicked and crawled in the back seat while the water quickly spilled in the car. I unbuckled her seatbelt and scooped her up in my arms.
I struggled to get to the front seat but made it. Unluckily, the water was up to my chest and it was hard to keep myself and Aaliyah above the water. I tried to open the door but the pressure from the water was keeping it closed. Damn it!!! Thinking quickly, I looked at the hole I punched. We were almost fully sunk but the top of the car was still above water. Using one hand to hold Aaliyah, I quickly kept punching the whole until it was big enough for her to fit through.
I pushed Aaliyah through and forced myself through the small hole, my clothes getting torn from the small space and raged edges. The water filled my lungs but the only person I was thinking of was Aaliyah. Pulling Aaliyah close, I swam my fastest up to the surface.
My head, and Aaliyah's, popped above the water. I swam to the shore which was a little beach above the bridge. I saw a car parked at the edge of the bridge and a lady, about 30, came running down the hill. I made it to the shore and dropped Aaliyah on the sand, coughing to get all the water out. The lady quickly came to my side and dropped to her knees. "Oh my word! Are you okay?"
"Yeah.I'm-" I was cut off by Aaliyah's eyes slowly opening and staring at me.
"Mommy?"
