We spent an hour or more talking about ourselves and our lives.
"I never introduced you and your family to my girlfriend." He said standing up. "Jamie, Maya, everyone." My father called out. My mother, Cyrus, Jamie, Aunt Megan, Uncle Alex, Skylar and everyone else except the redhead who sat alone at the end of the couch and Alicia and Eli who stood by the door stopped talking.
"I would like to introduce you all to my girlfriend, Chloé Garsom. I forgot to with everything going on." Chloé stood and waved at everyone and though my mom tried to hide it, I could see the hurt in her eyes and I think he did too. She smiled and planted a quick kiss on his lips. Everyone went back to what they were doing like he didn't just introduce his woman and all.
"Hey Liv, I just wanted you to know that I didn't know about your real dad. I thought the same thing you did until now but anyways I'm tired so I'm going to go to my place instead of staying the night like we planned. If you need me you can always call." She said in one VERY sad voice.
"You swear you had no idea at all. Not a clue." I asked.
"I swear on my tail." She whispered then held up her pinky finger. I wrapped my pinky finger around hers and we squeezed.
"Let's go, I'm exhausted." I whispered. She agreed and we said our goodbyes. Me and my dad traded numbers, just as I saved his my mom tapped my shoulder.
"Baby girl. You've been avoiding me." She says with tears in her eyes.
"I...I just need space...from you." I reply stepping away from her. "Goodnight ma." I turned and walked away but I could hear her say "Goodnight sweetheart." Skylar and I walked past Alicia and Eli without a word.
Tony King P.O.V.
I watched Maya walk out the door, arms wrapped around herself. That's my baby right there, she needs me but that will only lead to what created our two children but I do need to talk to her.
"I'll be back Chloe." I told her she just nodded with a frown on her face. I walked out back, she stood there staring off. I walked up behind her placing one hand on her shoulder. She moved away as soon as I touched her skin like I burned her.
"Your girlfriend won't like you touching me." She whispered.
"Girl, come here." I grabbed her arm and pulled her right back in front of me.
"Always telling me what to do." She muttered still facing away from me. I put one hand on her waist.
"Be quiet. It's my time to talk. You left me, when I needed you. Kaleb died later on that week." She tried to turn into me but I held her in place. "No, don't look at me. Drunk driver killed my baby brother and you took my chance to be a father away from me. I want to hate you. When I found out, I thought I hated you but I don't. I can't hate you." I told her.
"Please stop." She begged. She took a step away but I pulled her into me wrapping my arms around her.
"I'm not done...I wish I never met you but I did. You're walking around sad about everything but I think she just need some space, she'll come back to you when she's ready. She'll forgive you, I promise. Okay?" Maya nodded her head. "Turn around." She turns into my arms and looks up to me.
"Will you forgive me?" She whispered. I stared at her for a few moments watching tears slide down her face, she looked down and said "I'm sorry that you ever met me too." With that she ran off pretty fast for somebody in there mid-late forties. I let out a deep breath and decided it was time for me to go home. Chloé sat in the chair texting and smiling real hard.
"Chloé, lets go." I said as I walked in.
"Okay, baby." She stood up wrapping her arms around me.
"Where's Maya?" Cyrus asked.
"I don't know." I replied.
"Well have a good night." He said opening the door for us.
"Likewise." I muttered. I started the car and felt the need to tell Chloé something.
"I'm dropping you off at your home and you should know better than to text another man while you're around the first man." I looked at her, while she got herself together enough to speak.
"Baby, what are you talking about?" She said sweetly.
"Don't play games." With that I drove off.
Maya P.O.V.
I swam back and forth if I was on land I would have been back and forth.
I just lost everything.
He'd forgive me if he knew why.
My daughter thinks I'm a monster.
My son he got something going on and his lack of emotion when finding out who his real father is worries me.
This Fitz character apparently is who my daughter is meant to be with.
Alicia hates everything about me and her siblings. I always showed them the same amount of love but in the end she still hated me and everybody else without a reason why.
Now Rowan, my powers have gotten so much stronger since we married, hopefully I won't have to use them on him but I can't let our secret out.
I took a deep breath and let out an ear bleeding scream. I held my open plans back and thrusted them forward, I felt all my frustrations seep through my body and make a snow storm. It rose out of the water headed out. I felt my muscles relax just as a horrible headache came.
I just started a snow storm in March underwater. That's the last thing I thought before everything went black.
James P.O.V.
Cyrus walked out the shower.
"Did you hear that? I think it was Maya." I quickly said.
"You think what was Maya." He questioned as he went to his dresser.
"The scream. It had to be here. I know it. Something happened We need to find her."
"James that could've been ANYBODY screaming." He unwrapped his towel and pulled on a pair of boxers.
"I know it's her. I've been charting everything about them since forever." I exclaimed.
"We're getting to old for this. James were damn near our 70. She's a 44 year old woman she can take care of herself. We have have a little girl who we may not live to see her turn 20 can we just take care ours. Please, I'm tired."
"You made a promise to her mother before she died to care for them all." I reminded him.
"I know that and I failed her. Her daughter was forced into a marriage that I couldn't stop. 2 of her grandkids didn't know who there father was and 1 of them hates us all. I think it's too late, I already failed Maya's mother." Cyrus said angrily.
"Oh, honey." I got up wrapping my arms around him. "You never failed her because you never gave up. In the morning we'll go check on everyone but tonight let's rest." I kissed his cheek and pulled him into bed.
