Chapter 24
Bella's POV
"Dom it's not what you think. Greg is just trying to help." I try unsuccessfully to lie to my brother. He sees right through me. Damn him. Dom marches up to Greg and lays him out on the floor with one punch to the face. I am completely stunned. I want to rush to Greg's side to see if he is all right but Dom grabs me by the waist and throws me over his shoulder. Out the door his pace is quick. I get one last look at Greg as he sits up recovering from the blow to his jaw. At least he's not dead. Dom could've done much worse I'm sure.
"I swear nothing was going on. Please believe me." My voice is weak.
He jerks the wheel flinging the car around the corner. I watch as he reaches the boiling point and brace for the attack. "What the fuck is wrong with you? I've had it. You get your shit and you get out. I won't let you do this to Jesse and I sure as hell won't let you do this to Aria. I don't fucking know you anymore. I'll give you how ever much money you need, just go away."
"Oh God, you can't mean that Dominic. You can't. Where will I go? You can't make me leave my baby."
"My decision is finally. Leave on your own or I'll throw you out. Remember what I said? One more screw up and I'd help Jesse take Aria from you."
I nod.
"Consider it done."
Dom's POV
She sitting in the car crying harder than I thought she would. Can't deal with her anymore. She's tearing everyone apart. I've packed her shit in a few suitcases and am ready to send her away. This is the best thing I can do for my team, my family.
Bell doesn't say a word as I load the bags into the car. Her face is puffy and red from the tears. If only she could've seen the tears that Jesse cried every night since the accident. I don't know how she became so selfish. She's not the sister that I knew, instead colder and heartless.
The ride to the airport is silent. No apology for the pain she caused. No regret for the damage she has done. Aria'll be better off without her. We'll all be better off without her.
Bella's POV
Why am I not begging to stay? That I don't have an answer for, part of me just wants to escape. The part of me that is trapped in this body, in this life needs to be free. When I had Aria I thought I had grown up, but really it was all just an act. I know that I wasn't ready to have a baby all by myself. I love her with all my heart, but Dom is right and I don't deserve her.
The car pulls up to the airport terminal and Dom jumps out. He tells the agent that he needs a wheelchair and begins to unload my bags. I can't believe that this is the last time I will see him. I'll never get to tell my baby Ari goodbye. Mia, God I will miss her. My big sis has always tried to make things easy for me. There will be no more late night talks over cookies and milk. There'll be no more playstation battles with Letty and Leon. No more chances to kick Leon's ass in Mortal Kombat and no more bear hugs from my big teddy bear Vince. Jesse. I'll miss Aria and Jesse the most. I love him so much I just can't be with him. Don't want him to feel sorry for me anymore. I want him to touch me like he used to, but he won't.
Dom opens the door and pulls me out. He sets me in the waiting wheelchair. "Don't do this Dom. Please let me stay." I am crying. I can't fight the tears. He ignores my words and walks away without so much as a goodbye. I watch as his car fades in the distance. Alone again. The agent wheels me into the terminal and up to the ticket counter.
"May I help you?" The brunette woman asks politely.
"One way ticket to Boston."
