" Where are my kids?" He repeats the word again, bringing me back, " His kids? is he the father of your kids?" Evan asks me, I look at him helpless then I turn to Deven, and say " I have no clue about what you are saying, we don't have any kids together and I don't know you, maybe you have the wrong person" I say to him, hoping neither Deven nor Evan can hear how hard and fast my heart is beating.
"Ouch" I cry out when he grabs me by my arm tightly, " please let me go!" I cry "where are my kid?" His voice echoes in my head, " please let her go" Evan tries to get Deven to leg go of me but he couldn't, " weakling" I think to my self as I watch his little attempt. " I'm saying that you have got the wrong..." Kpa!!! The ringing in my ear, the hard turn of my neck to the side, the hotness on my cheek and the metallic taste of blood in my mouth, ' he hit me!?' I think to my self as all I see is stars and a faint sound of arguing above the ringing sound. I sigh releasing the breathe I didn't know I was holding as I turn my head slowly to look Deven in the eyes only to see him and a woman arguing with him holding her hand, " oh she hit me" not realizing I said that out loud, both Deven and the lady turn to look at me, she looks irritated and Deven almost seemed concerned and it's probably about her, not wanting to face them again I turn to leave, walking as fast as I could, " Avery!!" I hear my name Deven was calling me and I didn't want to turn around so I increase my pase trying to get as far away from him as possible and get a taxi home only to get grabbed by him again from behind in a back hug " I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!" He sniffles ' is he crying?' I think to my self. "I didn't mean for her to hit you, I just, I want to see my kids, they have never met me and neither have i, Ave please" he sobs in to my shoulder.. what just happened,he was so mean a couple of minutes ago "I'm sorry but I don't know what you are talking about, we don't have a kid talkless of kids together, you have got the wrong person" "AVERY!!" He screams turning me around sharply and making me look him in the eyes, I turn away not wanting to look at him because it reminds me of that night, the night he took my trust and hurt me bad.
"There are some things that you do not understand and the kids need me, you all need me" he says, I don't care what he says because I never needed him them and I never will now,he is just wasting his time and mine! " Please let go" I say in a faint voice while gripping my phone in my palm thighly, the vibration of the phone makes me calm down as I sigh and say " okay, you might want to come with me though" " okay, sure" he says smiling, I turn to explain to Evan, " I'm sorry, I was having a really great time tonight, I will make it up to you next time" I say and hug him good night.
A low growl from behind me startled me "Jesus!!" I scream as I turn and see Seven " make it up to him in what way?" He asks " it's none of your business" I say turning around walking while looking for a taxi " I drove! Let's use my car" he says, giving up I follow him to his car. It should have been a long silent ride home but I had to ask, my big effing mouth always putting me in trouble " what exactly did you mean earlier?" I ask, remembering what he said about things I couldn't understand and things the kids need to know, " it's just something that the kids are supposed to know, but, when you found out you where pregnant why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you contact me Ave?" " Don't call me that! You don't deserve to call me that!" I snap at him, turning my face away. "Ave I'm sorry, I just.. I know it wasn't nice what I did, and I know that I hurt you, but I looked for you, I even asked your brother to help me out but I couldn't get him to budge" " that's enough.... Enough excuses, I'm tired of hearing them. You turned a wonderful evening into a horrible memory, I almost died!!" I screamed then I shut my mouth with my hands.. no one was supposed to know, I think back to when I got depressed after mom and my stepfather had decided they didn't want anything to do with me, I know I wasn't a child but I still needed them emotionally. Stopping the car abruptly he turns and look at me " what do you mean you almost died? What the hell are you talking about Ave?" He shouts. Being alone in his car together with him, even though the AC is on I feel the heat emitting from my body and the sweat rolling down my back as I turn further away from him looking outside the car. "Answer me!" He shouts as he pulls me towards him, startled by him pulling me, i look directly into his eyes only to see fear and anger all mixed up in them, 'am I mistaken?' I think to my self " ouch, it hurts" I say pointing at his hand gripping my forearm thighly. He looks at me for a little while longer before sighing and releasing my arm and slamming his fist on the stearing wheel, " talk to me please Avery, I know you are angry but please".
