Damned If I Do Ya, Damned If I Don't

*Katie's Point of View*
God I can't believe I did that, I knew what would happen if Lisa found out, she would be destroyed, I knew that feeling and I didn't wish it upon anyone. I finally reached home and put Josh to sleep, he deserved to have his mum and dad together but I couldn't stop feeling guilty. I sat at the edge of his cot like I had done when he was born and stroked his head. Alex was going back on tour soon and I needed to start work, if I was to support Josh then I needed money. I left his room and was about to take a shower when there was a loud thudding on my door.
“Who is it ?” I shouted as I opened the door
“You fucking bitch” she screamed and lunged towards me
My head smacked against the door frame and I hit the floor, there was a ringing in my ears. She took handful of my hair and pulled me to my knees, there was blood on my face and I looked up at her.
“How fucking dare you come near him” she spat at me “Your a fucking whore, he was mine”
I wiped some of the blood from my nose and she punched my in the face. I let out a cry and fell back to the floor, it was just like in the woods, I couldn't deal with that again.
“You hurt me, so I am going to destroy you” she smirked and kicked my in the stomach with winded me. Lisa took a step over me and began to walk through the house,
“No” I was trying to say
I lay there for ten minuets before I heard voices
“Katie” Alex was shouting “Oh fuck, Rian, Jack, Zack”
“Go” I whispered “She has Josh”
He looked at me and then ran through the house and up the stairs. I wasn't going to lose him or Josh.

*Alex's Point of View*
I threw myself through Josh's bedroom door and found Lisa sitting on a chair with Josh sleeping in her arms, a tear slipped my eye.
“Lisa” I whispered “You know you don't want to do this”
“Do what Alex ?” she said and looked up at me “This is the reason we couldn't be happy, that bitch downstairs is the reason we can't be happy, all I wanted was you to love me like you love her”
“I did for a while” I said “But it wasn't going to work, we are two very different people, please don't do this, you know how much he means to me”
“No” he said “Don't you understand why I need to do this ?”
“I could never understand this” I said
“You hurt me so much, you drove me to do this, this is your fault” she shouted at me
“I'm sorry for what I did, it was reckless I shouldn't have done it while I was still with you” I whispered and took a step forward
“Don't come near me” she spat
I could hear sirens
“What is that ? Did you call the police ?” she growled and stood up
“No, I didn't Jack must of, Katie is hurt” I was stuttering
“The view from that balcony must be beautiful” she finally said and walked towards the glass doors
“Please, don't” I was begging her “I will do anything just don't hurt him”
“Anything ?” she asked
I nodded my head
“I would have said yes, but things have changed” she said and opened the doors, I began to cry. I heard soft footsteps coming up the stairs. It was Jack
“The police are here” he whispered
“She is going to kill him” I sobbed
“The fuck she will” he said
“Who the fuck is there” she shouted
“No one” I said
“Come in Jack” she spat
He came in a glared at her, we both walked slowly nearer her and she laughed.
“Mam, please give the child back to his parents and come down” shouted a police officer
“Do you want to know something funny Alex ?” she laughed
“What ?” I asked
“I was pregnant for maybe a few weeks, but when I went for a scan they couldn't find a fucking heartbeat, I had a fucking miscarriage, so I didn't tell you” she said
I couldn't believe what I was hearing
“Bullshit” said Jack
She laughed and moved over to her bag, she pulled out an envelope and showed me the scan. I didn't know what to think, this couldn't be real
“Lisa, I'm” I was stuttering
“Save it” she said “You know what else ? I can't have kids any more”
A part of me felt crushed
“I don't want her to give her something I can't” she whispered
She turned to put the scan back and Jack ran at her, she screamed as all three of them fell on the floor, she let out a scream and so did Josh, she elbowed Jack in the face and was about to pick Josh up when I ran and scooped him up
“JOSH !” I could hear Katie screaming
Lisa lunged towards me but Jack grabbed her ankle and she fell forwards, three police men ran into the room and grabbed her. Jack stood up and looked at me, I was crying and he was trying to stop his nose from bleeding, we went downstairs and Katie ran towards me. She took Josh and she cuddled him close to her chest, stopping him from crying, I looked into her eyes, she had a few bad cuts and bruises and cuts but she was perfect, so was Josh, we were a perfectly messed up family. She had a look on her face that said “Don't let our son,near a psychopath again”, I was about to kiss her when a camera snapped in my face, I blinked and turned around to be faced by reporters, I ran a hand through my hair and pulled Katie inside where the guys were already sitting.
“The police are coming back later to get statements” said Rian who was locking the door and closing the curtains. Katie still hadn't said a word
“I don't know” I finally sighed
Jack gave me a stern look
“Katie” I said “I think I should tell you something”
She looked up at me
“While I was up there” I hesitated “Lisa told me some news, she had an erm miscarriage a few weeks into her pregnancy,which I didn't know about”
Her eyes widened and she let out a gasp
“I wouldn't wish that on anyone” she whispered
Rian and Zack looked equally shocked.
“But” I started
“But nothing, a miscarriage is one of the worst things a woman can go through Alex” she said “I know she tried to kill our baby, but she can't be arrested, she needs some form of help to get over it”
I took all of this information into account and decided to agree, she might of nearly killed Josh but she needed some help. I blamed myself for it all, if I had broken up with Lisa before Katie then this would never of happened, if Josh had died I would never have been able to forgive myself, Katie and him are my everything.

It took us a few months to get back to normal. Katie sold her house and we moved into mine. Lisa was being given psychiatric help and we were told her condition was improving. All we wanted to do was put this behind us and for Josh to grow up and be a happy normal child. Unfortunately things never go the way you want them to.
