Chapter 17
Aleksi POV
How much do you know?
Everything.
I froze. There was no more hiding. He knew about the baby.
We'll talk when you get here tomorrow.
Alright, but you have to explain everything.
Ok.
I laid back on my bed. What was I going to tell Marcus? I couldn't lie. He knew everything. He'd be here tomorrow and we'd have to talk it out. Maybe that was my problem in the first place. I never told him. Maybe he would have wanted the kid. I could feel the tears falling on my cheeks. What had I done in my hasty decision? I'd made a mess that I could never fix. When I finally fell asleep my dreams were riddled with nightmares.
Marcus POV
I was utterly pissed. I almost threw my cell at the wall. I wasn't getting answers and that's what I needed. That's all I needed. Some answers to all my questions and she wouldn't even talk to me right now. There was one question that I just couldn't form any type of answer for. Why had she done it and not told me? I wouldn't get my answers from the wall so I closed my eyes and went into a restless sleep.
Rose POV
Lissa told me what Aleksi did and it appalled me. My baby's practically a whore. I blamed myself. I wasn't there. I hadn't explained. I needed to get there early. Fuck getting there on Christmas. I needed to be there now.
Aleksi POV
I got up the next morning and got dressed. Adrian had gone through my clothes and taken all the good stuff out. So I was left with jeans and a long sleeved Tap Out shirt. I went down to the kitchen and grabbed my plate before heading back upstairs. I didn't want to talk to anybody that was there. They would all stare at me and give me disapproving looks. I've been through it before.
The stairs were two feet away when Adrian called to me. "Aleksi Jade Belikov, where in the hell do you think you're going?" I winced at the last name. He only called me a Belikov when he was pissed.
"First of all my last name isn't Belikov! Second, I'm going to my room since all of you will give me dirty looks if I stay down here." I started up the stairs and Adrian grabbed my arm.
"You know you have to eat down here. Remember what happened last time you ate in your room?" I glared at him. Last time had been when I was seven.
"If I remember correctly I was seven and it was spaghetti. So fuck off and leave me alone Adrian. You're not my father." I was sure I was going to get slapped for my cussing. He let go of my arm though. I looked up and Adrian looked like I had slapped him. I ran back through what I had said and realization hit me along with guilt. I had never said that to Adrian. I'd only called him Daddy. I couldn't take it back though. It would ruin my point and I'd probably get grounded worse. I glared at him one more time and stomped up the stairs.
Adrian POV
I was in shock as Aleksi stomped up the stairs. Did she really just say that? Is that what she really thought of me? She was my baby girl. Not by blood of course. No that was stupid Belikov. Did she think of him as more of a father than me? Is that who she wants to live with? If it is, then I'd respect her choice and help her move.
Something wet fell down onto my cheek. I lifted a hand to wipe it away and realized I was crying. I'd miss my baby. I walked back into the kitchen and Lissa saw me crying. She stood up and ran over to me. "What's wrong? What happened? Is Aleksi okay?"
I shushed her and said in a tear thick voice, "She doesn't like me anymore. She just yelled at me to fuck off because I wasn't her father." I started sobbing then. You might think I'm a wimp but I had raised those kids and I couldn't even picture life without them. One of them hated me. And I don't think she was going to get over it. "She probably wants to go live with Belikov. He's her real father." Lissa pulled me into the living room and on the couch.
"I'll go talk to her." To my surprise, it was Christian who said it. I watched as he went up the stairs.
Christian POV
Aleksi's room was the first one on the right as soon as you got up the stairs. I knocked and didn't get an answer. I nocked again. "Go away Adrian!"
I laughed. "It's actually Christian." It took a few seconds and I was wondering if I should just go in. Finally she opened the door. She looked like she had been crying and she was sniffling.
"What do you want? Did you come to yell at me too?" I shook my head. "Then what?"
"You really hurt Adrian down there." She hung her head.
"I know."
"Then why'd you say it? Do you really want to go live with Belikov?" She looked up alarmed.
"No! Why would you think that?"
"Adrian does. You told him he's not your father and he took it to mean that you didn't love him anymore and wanted to move in with your real father."
"No! Don't make me go there! I hate him! He was never a father to me! He's the reason mom and Alek died! Why would I want to live with him?" I was slightly surprised. She really did blame it all on him.
I shook my head. "Adrian was just trying to make you happy. You should really not treat him like a piece of shit. He loves you like you're his daughter."
"I know. I'll apologize later." I smiled and left her room. One problem solved.
There is another chapter. Sorry for the very late update. I was reading through this and realized just how fucked up it is. I didn't know my mind was that bad. Oh well. REVIEW!
