Three hours has passed, he was waiting for me, waiting for my reply and what I has do tell him about Blake, what he needed to know, I didn’t want to, and the rain was slowly starting to stop, I knew that, I have to leave this place, sneak into my apartment and spend the night there.

“How’s mom.” I whispered against my breath, my eyes filled with tears when he looked at me.

“Your mother is- why did you have to come back Lucas, haven’t you done enough.” I said cutting him off and he looked at me as if he felt bad, I didn’t that’s him, he is not here for save me. He can’t tell me he wants to save me when he can’t tell me what exactly is happening.

“I am here for a reason Rachel .” He said again and I nodded. “You lost everything because of this man and you can’t tell me what’s going on.”

“I lost everything because of you too Lucas, and Blake and I, it’s non of your business.” I said and he nodded.

I wanted to tell him but it felt like if I did he will leave again.

I mumbled a curse against my lips when I realized, I can’t stay here forever; if it was up to him, he won’t mind, it’s Lucas, he will rather have me stuck here until he gets what he wants.

“Why do you want to know.” I asked, “if you could find out I lost everything, why don’t you find out how I know Blake.” I asked

“I saw the signs, I heard the rumors across the city.” He said and I nodded, there is no surprise that Blake would tell everyone to blacklist me and I will never get what I wanted, it’s either I comply or I find a new home.

My breath hitches and I rested my head on the seat.

“Believe me when I say, I hate that you are doing this to me, but when I tell you, you will open that door and you will let me out o here.” I said and his eyes softened, what did he think was going to happen, did he think I would tell him how much I missed and love him, I would be a fool if I did that.

“Who is he to you.”

“He is my ex boyfriend.” I whispered, many didn’t know that, many thought he wanted to be with me and I never said yes.

“You dated me.” He asked, “do you even realise who he is, you- no open the door Lucas.” I said cutting him off, he can’t tell me that. He can’t judge me for who I lived my life.

“I don’t care why you are here or why you want to even know anything about Blake, just stay away form me.”

“Rachel I- it’s either you open the door or I break the window.” I threatened.

He doesn’t have the right to judge me for what I do, for what I have done with my life; I watched as he didn’t waste no time and he opened the door for me.

I walked under the rain and I was glad that he didn’t follow me, I got to my building and I headed toward the other side, I have to find a way to get in, I was able to climb my way through my window, it was facing the alley on the other side.

The pipe was slippery, it held on to it tightly when I got in, I didn’t turn on any lights, I walked into my bathroom and I took a shower, I could feel my tears mixing with the soap. I didn’t deserve to go through any of that.

After moments, I packed a bag and I used my phone was a light to see through, I slid on my bed and I turned off the lights. I have to get out of here tomorrow morning, I could sell some of my earrings, that was the only way.

The next morning, I wasted no time in getting ready when I hit my bag, I heard the bell ring, my breath hitches, someone knew I am here, I didn’t know if I should run through the window or I should head toward the door.

As I was thinking, I got a message form my phone, it was an unknown number, I glanced at the screen when I saw a message that said.

“Open the door.”

I didn’t know who it was, my first thought was Blake, he did ask some of his men to stay around the house, what if one of them saw me there, my eyes filled with tears as I thought about it.

When I heard another ping on my phone.

“Come out right now.” The message said and I headed toward the door, I can’t keep run away, my eyes filled with tears when I headed toward the door and my hand shook for a second before I placed my hand on the handle and the door opened.

Lucas.

I tried to close the door but he used his feet to block it, my eyes met his as he forced his way into my house.

“You need to leave right now.”

We both can’t be here, Blake will find out I didn’t leave and he will come for my son.

“I came to talk, last night- I don’t what happened last night, it’s done Lucas.” I said cutting him off.

“No it’s not, I came to talk, just let me talk.” He said and have my head. He didn’t care for me, when I needed him to speak, he didn’t speak to me but not anymore.

“Leave or I will leave.” I said and he smirked, I watched as he placed his hand on the door, he was going to keep me locked here like his car, there is no surprise to that.

“We are having a conversation Rachel and you are going to stay for it, whether you like it or not.”
