Chapter 31
Throwing Bricks
(Natalia's P.O.V.)
For the past few days I have been in the BEST MOOD...and I have a very good reason.
CHLOE AND GABE BROKE UP.
Finally. Then again I knew all along it wasn't going to last, but nobody listened and look what happened. Actually in the end I think I got the better end of the deal since I still have a shot at getting Gabe back...then I have to consider Cody since him and I have been keeping in touch since we ran into each other a few weeks ago when I was out shopping with my cousins.
He's still in Forks only now he's doing his best to keep hidden ever since he went over to try and work things out with Chloe so he could see Nora and Chloe attacked him when he did absolutely nothing.
So she's abusive too? No to mention a dirty liar.
Figures.
No wonder her and Cody are going to court. In the end I'm sure Chloe will get what she deserves.
The only way I can possibly get to Gabe is if I get to Chloe first so I can make this work ;).
(Chloe's P.O.V.)
I should have never come back to Washington. I should have never brought Elenore here with me. I would have found about Gabe and all of the other guys being "what they are" I would have reconsider all of this.
Now I'm stuck.
I haven't told anyone about what's happened besides the people who know what's going on since they're all involved.
I've kept myself distance from everyone ever since Gabe told me everything.
Word got out around La Push to everyone who knows what the "situation" was. I have received several calls and text messages from all of the "imprint" girls.
Lucy, Emily, Kim, Ella and even Leah has tried to reach me but I've been ignoring them
But I've been ignoring Gabe the most. He literally calls me every thirty minutes.
That's how bad it is...
But I'm not stop, even if he has left me over 45 voice messages in the past 5 days :P.
I just got out of the shower from a grueling dance rehearsal. My parents are going down to Portland for the weekend. They just left right after I got home, Nora's down for a nap and I have the whole house to myself which gives me time to think.
I would feel so much better about all of this if I just pack up everything and go home—back to Spain. We were there for a year before I brought Nora to the U.S. for the first time and everything was just fine.
Maybe we just need to get away. Just me and my baby.
Yea, that's a great idea.
We should leave.
(Natalia's P.O.V.)
Well here goes nothing...
I knocked on the door of Chloe's parents house. Fingers crossed that I can make this all work out.
The door opened and Chloe stood there...panting.
"Umm am I interrupting something?" I asked her.
"No, not really—wait why are you here?" She asked me.
"I just wanted to talk." I shrugged.
"Look now's not the best time cause I'm sort of in the middle of—"
"It will be real quick. Ten, maybe fifteen minutes." I assured her.
Chloe pushed the door wide open. "Come in,"
"The living room would be best. Nora is sleeping upstairs." She told me.
"That's fine." I took a seat on the lounge chair.
"Okay let me just get this out. I know you and I haven't gotten along lately and I just wanted to say I'm sorry for saying all of those bitchy things to you. It was wrong and I didn't have my head screwed on straight—I just didn't really even bother thinking about what I was saying to people anymore—you especially only because things haven't been the same since I broke up with Gabe. It was a nasty break up and it happened during the summer. I don't have feelings for him anymore I can promise you that. I'm over him and I heard you guys broke up...I just wanted to see how you're coping with this..." I said on the verge of fake tears
Either way she's buying it.
"Well, actually I'm not talking to him and a lot of other people cause he—he's been ummmm...hasn't really been—"
"Honest with you about everything?" I guessed...figures. That's why we broke up in the first place.
"Yea, that's just about right. I mean he's tried texting me oh and he calls me all the time. I had turn my phone off just to get it to stop ringing. But it doesn't matter anymore. Coming here was just a little but to much for me to handle so Nora and I are going back home." She said.
"To Vancouver Washington?"
"Oh no. Back to Spain." Chloe corrected me.
She's going back to Europe and she's taking the little brat with her? Even better—on second thought I take that back.
"Ohhhh," I nodded as I started to look around the room. That's when I noticed the clothes there were folded clothes all over the place and then there were two empty suitcases next to the couch where Chloe sat.
"Why are you leaving?" I asked her.
"It's a long story—basically I just think going back to Spain is what's best for us right now." She muttered.
"Have you told anyone about this—what about Lucy, Macy, Ella and everyone else who—"
"Actually I haven't talked to any of them lately. I decided to keep my distance. I'm not talking to them. This hasn't been a really good week for me and I just wanna leave this place before anything else happens." Chloe explained.
"Hold that thought...does Cody know you're leaving?"
"Oh hell no. He's doesn't know anything. I don't even know how he found us in the first place. I wasn't supposed to see him until we went to court. I'll be settled back in Spain by the time June comes around so once I get a restraining order and full custody of Nora. Things will be good again—and whatever you do just don't tell anyone about this please."
"No it's fine. My lips are sealed." I said pulling out my cell phone.
"Wait who are you texting?" She asked right away.
"Oh it's just my cousin. I'm supposed to meet up with her later. Hold on a sec." I lied.
I wasn't texting my cousin. I was texting Cody.
Me: Hey did you know Chloe broke up with Gabe?
Cody: Good. That guy is a freaking monster and I don't like him being around my kid.
Me: Gabe is not a monster. Either way that's not the point. Chloe's leaving.
Cody: Leaving where.
Me: She's going back to Spain and she's taking your daughter with her. I told her I wouldn't tell you but honestly you have a right to know.
Cody: When is she leaving?
Me: Well from the looks of her parents house she's in the middle of packing right now. Her parents are out of town and they don't know she's doing this.
Cody: She's so selfish. All I want do is see my daughter and now she's trying to take Nora away from me again.
Me: I'm sorry.
Cody: Don't worry about it. I'm gonna fix this. I'm leaving for San Francisco next Friday so that gives me plenty of time to take care of this.
"Chloe when do you plan on leaving?" I asked her.
"Tomorrow night. I haven't bought the tickets yet but I'm about to book them in a sec." She told me.
I quickly went back to texting Cody.
Me: You might wanna move a lot faster than that. She's leaving tomorrow night. You have to do something.
Cody: Great...well thanks for giving me the heads up? Are you with her right now?
Me: Ya, but I'm about to leave cause I have a prior engagement to get to later on this evening. It's a shame we still haven't gotten the change to go out on that date yet ; ).
Cody: I didn't forget. When this is all over...you're really gonna be in for it ;).
Me: Can't wait g2g. ttyl
"Sorry about that." I said putting my phone back into my purse.
"No it's fine."
"Y'know when it comes down to it I know exactly how you feel. Gabe is just one of those guys who doesn't know how to be honest with a girl. Believe me—Gabe and I were on and off for a good three years before we broke up for good. In the end I guess you could say I was upset because I didn't think it was fair that he first did it to me and broke my heart and then he moved on to someone else—you—and did the exact same thing. Boys like him are bad news. Don't take him back. I don't want you going through the same thing I did." I told her.
Instead of saying anything Chloe just hugged me.
Ugh! Why the hell is she touching me?
Eh, the least I can do is give her a little pat on the back.
"I forgive you." She told me.
"Really?" I asked her in surprise.
"I totally understand where you're coming from on this and I'm so sorry. Looks like we both had to learn the hard way. I made the same mistake twice. First with Cody and then Gabe."
"Girl, you can do so much better than that." I said.
Wait did I really just say that.
"Yea you're right." She admitted.
"Maybe when you go back to Spain you'll find some really hot Spanish guy."
"Oh no. I think I'm just gonna lay off the relationships. For now I'm just gonna stick to being a single mom and doing what's best for my baby. That's all." Chloe sounded pretty serious about that as she continued to fold clothes.
Either way she'll be gone and I'll have Gabe all to myself again.
That's the way it should be. Now that she's on her way to getting herself out of the picture I can finally have my old life back.
Tonight going to be even better when I make a surprise visit to Gabe's house tonight. This is really gonna make my day even better. ;D
"Well I better get going. I have somewhere I gotta be in a few hours. Best of luck back in Spain." I said before giving her another hug.
"Bye Natalia."
"Bye," I said before walking out the door.
*sigh*
Thank God that's over with.
(Gabe's P.O.V.)
I've been calling her all week and she won't answer.
She won't even text me back.
Okay so I did sort of throw it all at her when she started freaking out. I honestly didn't think she was going to take it so bad.
She flipped out on me big time.
But it really hurt when she said we're done. I mean I had to tell her at some point I just didn't want this happen. Better yet things would have been better if I never told her in the first place.
Instead of doing absolutely nothing this Saturday night. I would probably be with her right now.
But we all know that's not gonna happen.
I'm all over the place right now.
I've missed all the pack meetings this past week only because I don't want anyone in my head right now. Too many voices might just drive me crazy...especially since Chloe's out of my life for the time being.
It wasn't until 7:25pm...I got a knock on the door and I was really hoping it was her.
I opened the door to find Natalia.
She was all dressed up, wearing a tight little black dress and some high heels that had to make her at least five inches taller.
Oh boy.
Here we go.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her.
"Oooooo and you don't even have a shirt on." She looked me up and down.
"Natalia—"
"No just shut up and listen okay?" Natalia let herself in as always and she slammed the door right behind her.
"I apologized to her. I went over to her house and we talked and she forgave me. Happy now?" She told me.
"Great...well at least she's talking to you—"
"Listen. I honestly just think you should forget about her and just move on. You know I'm still here for you. I will always be here for you." Natalia leaned in to kiss me and I moved away before she got even close.
"What are you trying to do?"
"What do you mean what the hell am I trying to you. I did what you wanted which was apologize to Chloe and then you and Chloe broke up which is what I've wanted ever since you two got together and now that it's all said and done with. We can finally get back together." She put her arms around me this time.
"Natalia I'm sorry but it can't happen." I shook my head.
"Why? Give me one good reason." She kissed me on the cheek and I didn't even budge.
I tensed up.
"I'm in love with Chloe—"
"Don't waist your time. She's moving on. Trust me on this one—seriously—I can tell you right now—she doesn't even want to be in a relationship right now. Now I know it's been a long time since you got some action. I know for fact she hasn't give you any—last time I checked I was the only one you've done it with." She whispered into my ear.
"I'm not gonna have sex with you." I told her.
"Come Gabe...I was your first." She kissed my on my left cheek. "Your second." She kissed me on my right cheek this time. "Then I was your third." She went down towards my neck.
"And this time around I can be your fourth."
"No," I pried her hands off me this time.
"What the hell?" She stomped her foot.
"I'm sorry. But this is the way things just have to be. I'm in love with someone else." I said.
"She's not worth it anyway so why even bother? I'm the kind of girl you need! I've always been the kind of girl you wanted. We have history...you and I have lot's of history together. Don't deny it! We were together for three years—three long ass years Gabriel. We've held hands, we've kissed, we've done stuff not to mention—we had sex! NEWSFLASH! You can't expect me to be out of your life just like that." She reasoned.
"I don't know how many times I'm gonna have to say this but...I love Chloe and it's always gonna be her and just her. End of story. I intend to spend the rest of my life with her. Now would you please...get the hell out of my house." I was more angry about it this time.
"You know what—FINE! Go do what ever the hell you want. You can just forget about me. Go screw yourself for all I fucking care cause you obviously don't know what you're missing out on. No matter what you do bitch isn't even gonna come back to you—"
"My girlfriend is not a bitch!" I yelled in Chloe's defense.
"Gabe? Are you listening to yourself right now...cause I honestly think you have lost your mind. SHE'S NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND ANYMORE!" Natalia screamed in my face.
"That bitch broke up with you and she doesn't want anything to do with you anymore. Better yet by tomorrow night she'll be gone and you don't have even worry about seeing her ever again."
"Whoa stop! Gone—what do you mean gone?" I asked her.
"She's leaving Gabe! Chloe's leaving and she's taking he brat daughter with her and she's not coming back. She even said so herself that she shouldn't have come back to America in the first place—and she's right—cause she ruined everything. Either way she's packing up her things and she's going back to Spain tomorrow night and you can't stop her." She snarled.
The minute Natalia had finished what she said I started moving as fast as I could to get my car keys and my shoes so I could drive over to Chloe's and try talking some sense into her.
I ran back down the hallway to my room to put a shirt on and now I'm looking all over the place to find my car keys.
"Don't tell me you're going over there to try and convince her otherwise. She's doesn't wanna see you."Natalia rolled her eyes.
"Well I'm gonna do whatever I can to get her to say whether you like it or not. She is the love of my life and I'm going after her." I said.
"I wouldn't go over there right now if I were you." She sang.
"Why would you say that?" I stopped dead my tracks to hear her answer.
"Well in case you didn't know. Her baby daddy is still in Forks and as of right now he's over there trying to talk some sense into her so she doesn't run off and out of the country with his kid. Chloe is just bad news written all over—either way they're probably yelling at each other while we speak. I won't be surprised if Chloe doesn't get custody of Nora—"
"Why didn't you tell me HE was OVER THERE!" I yelled.
Now i'm in even more of a hurry to get over there.
"Why do you care? It's not like what's going on at her parents house is any of your business—"
"That guy is a fucking psycho path in case you didn't know!" I yelled.
"No he's not. All he wants is to see his daughter and Chloe's just being selfish and won't let him see her. That's why I told him where Nora and Chloe were in the first place." Natalia mumbled under her breath.
A jolt of anger had shot right through my body and I was shaking now.
Of course it all makes sense now.
"YOU TOLD HIM WHERE THEY WERE?" I screamed.
"Calm down—no shit Sherlock you're damn right I did." She told me.
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOU'RE FUCKING MIND? HE ALMOST KILLED THEM. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING! DO YOU SERIOUSLY HATE HER THAT MUCH THAT YOU WOULD RISK HAVING HER AND HER DAUGHTER GET KILLED?" I grabbed Natalia by her shoulders and screamed right in her face.
She may be absolutely terrified but I honestly don't give a fuck.
I pushed her out of my way and hit the gas pedal as soon as I got the car started.
They're in danger. I can feel it.
(Chloe's P.O.V.)
Nora woke up from her nap a few hours ago and she's been downstairs playing in the living room and watching Toy Story while I sit on the couch and finish packing up all of our stuff.
By tomorrow night we'll be headed back to Spain.
I haven't told my parents, I just wrote them a note and it's sitting right on the mirror in their bathroom so they'll see it when the get home Monday morning.
We'll be gone by then.
"Mama where we going?" Nora asked me.
"We're going home." I told her.
"This is home." She said.
"No baby. Home is back in Spain. That's were you were born and that's where I was born."
"Gabe coming—"
"Oh no. We won't be seeing him any more." I shook my head.
"Why?" My daughter asked me with a curious look on my face.
"That's because mama—" I stopped dead in the middle of my sentence when I heard what sounded like the back door in the kitchen open.
Both of us got really quiet.
"Stay right here. I'll be back." I whispered.
Someone was in the house.
I slowly made my way to the kitchen. One step at a time...trying to be as quiet as humanly possible. More noise started coming from the kitchen, the sound of pots and pans falling to the ground. I moved even faster.
"Who's there?" I yelled.
No one answered, but I could still hear their footsteps.
I was standing in the kitchen only to find no one. But I know someone is in here.
Very slowly, I started to turn around in a circle only to have someone grab me from behind and put their hand over my mouth.
I gasped in a quick break and my eyes moved around a panic trying to see who had just got a hold of me.
"Where's my daughter?" The vaguely familiar voice hissed in my ear.
I always knew Cody was a bad guy, but I'd never thought that he would go such big extremes and break into my parent's house.
I elbowed him in the gut and he let go of me.
"What the hell are doing trying to break into my house—"
"There is no way in hell that I'm gonna let you leave this goddamn country with my daughter." Cody yelled.
"Well that's to bad. Elenore is not you're daughter. SHE'S MINE! How many times do I have to say that so it sticks into that brain of yours—now get out of this house!" I told him.
"Oh no no no," He paused. "I'm not leaving without my daughter."
"If you think you're gonna leave this house with my baby then you're crazy. Now get out of here before I call the cops for breaking in on private property—"
It was then that he slapped me in my face. He slapped me really hard and the only thing left was the aftershock, the sting of his hand hitting my face.
I gasped in horror.
"Don't make me do this the hard way," He threatened.
"That's it!" I pulled my phone out of my back pocket."I'm calling the police." I dialed 911.
"You won't be calling anyone." Cody snatched my phone out of my hand, threw it down on the floor and smashed it to pieces.
I made a run for it out of the kitchen only I wasn't fast enough and he caught me again by my arm and snapped me back towards him and we were face to space.
"Looks like you're gonna make me do this hard way," He spat in my face.
"Over my dead body—"
"SHUT UP!" He pushed me down the the ground.
When I tried to get up he pushed me back down and then held me up to the dishwasher by my neck. I could feel his hand close in and I was beginning to lose are.
"Cody," I choked.
"You're not as clever as you think you are. It's about time you got what you deserved." He said with an evil smile on his face.
"I-I-I'm not gonna let you touch my baby," I said gasping for air.
Cody finally let me go and I was panting.
I forgot how strong he was.
"Mama?" Elenore's voice echoed through the hallway. Cody got up and turned his head in the direction Nora's voice came from.
He started walking out of the kitchen and into the living room while I stumbled to get back on my feet and I jumped on his back to prevent him from going any further.
"Stay away from her!" I yelled trying to pull him back,
"Get off me." He flinched back causing me to jump off him and he fell over right in front of my feet. I moved even faster this time to get out of the kitchen and grab my daughter only Cody grabbed my foot in midair causing me to loose my balance and fall down.
"Okay someone wants to be difficult!" Cody said in a menacing tone.
He picked me up by my waist and pulled me back into the kitchen kicking and screaming at the top of my lungs. I'm literally fighting to break loose of his grip.
"No! No! NOOO! GET OFF OF ME!" I screamed.
"You selfish bitch!" He thew continuous punches at my face.
First my jaw, then my left eye and the after that he just continued to hit me all over the place...then the punches turned into kicks.
He kicked me in my back as hard as he could and I cried out in pain every single time.
"Who's the tough one now?" Cody pulled me up by my shirt.
"MAMA!" Nora was screaming this time.
I tried moving towards the sound of her voice only I was to beat up to do so but I moved as much as I could no matter how much it hurts.
"You make another move and I'll pull this damn trigger." Cody hissed onto my ear.
I could feel him press something into my back and it obviously was a gun judging by the clicking sound it made when he pointed it at me.
It was right then and there I knew this wasn't going to end well.
"Nora don't come in here!" I said weakly.
"It's like I told you, this isn't over." He told me.
"Mama?" Now Elenore was in the kitchen.
"Don't you dare," I threatened.
"Watch me," He got up and put the gun back in his pocket. I watched as he walked over and picked Nora up and she cried, reaching for me to come and get her.
"Baby—"
"Don't cry sweetie, Daddy's got you." Cody kissed her on the cheek and it made me die a little inside.
"Put her down!" I yelled.
"Say goodbye to Mommy!" Cody told her.
"NO!" I screamed.
"Mama!" Elenore struggled to reach for me. Cody wouldn't let go of my baby and she was just as terrified as I was.
Before I could make a move, he hit me in my head and the last thing I remember was hearing my daughter scream at the top of her lungs.
(Gabe's P.O.V.)
I was trying to get there as fast as I could.
Usually it takes me only thirty minutes to get to her house in Forks, but for some odd reason it took me even longer because the short cut to Chloe's house was undergoing some road work and it took me an extra ten minutes to get there.
I should have known Natalia was the reason why this all started in the first place.
I should have known she was behind this.
She probably has no idea what just might have done.
Natalia hasn't changed at all and now look...she put my imprint and her daughter in danger.
I pulled up to Chloe's house to find the front door wide open and Cody's car wasn't in sight. I got out my car and ran inside.
"Chloe?" I yelled.
"Chloe where are you?" I ran upstairs to see if she was there.
Nothing.
"Nora!" I called out for her this time when I came back downstairs.
"Anybody here!" I continued to yell as I made my way into the living room to find the place a mess. There were clothes all over the place.
I made my way towards the kitchen unaware that I stepped on something. I looked down see that I just stepped on Nora's bear. The bear that I got her for Christmas,
"Girls where are you?" I picked up the bear and continued to make my way into the kitchen.
Then I heard something.
A voice—or so I thought. It sounded like distressed moaning. I'm not so sure. Either way now I know someone is here.
The further I walked into the hallway, something became more visible on the floor.
Someone's arm came into view and it wasn't moving, I ran until I got into the kitchen only to find someone lying completely still on the kitchen floor...
Unconscious.
"Oh my god Chloe!" It didn't take me long to realize who it was. I got down on my knees and lifted her up gently so she rested in my arms.
There's a huge bloody and bruised gash on the side of her head. She had a black eye, a bloody nose that stopped running on it's own and her lip was swollen.
He was here. Cody was here and he did this. He beat the living shit out of her and left her here.
"Chloe," I tried to wake her up.
She stirred her head for a moment but she didn't open her eyes.
"Hey hey hey! Come on open your eyes!" I took my hand and hit her cheeks a few times to try and wake her up.
Chloe slit her eyes open as far she could. Her left eye was so swollen that she didn't even try to open it. Her eye slowly wandered around the room and then she caught my gaze.
"Gabe," She whispered faintly.
"What happened? Where's Nora?" I asked her all at once.
"H-H-He came here—Cody—" That's all she managed to say.
"Where is he? Do you know?"
"No..." Chloe trailed off and her eyes closed.
"Shit!" I cursed under my breath as I picked her up and put her down on the couch. In the mean time I pulled out my phone and dialed 911.
"Hello?...yes I need help—my girlfriend needs help...no I just walked into the house and found the place completely trashed...no she's unconscious...she's pretty beat up...no it's just her—but I think her daughter might have been taken—look can you just get over here and help us...5421 NE 32nd st..."
I hung up my phone and sat down beside her while she laid down on the couch.
Cody just messed with the wrong guy...
I'm gonna kill him.
TO BE CONTINUED...
