Forgive Me

We pulled in front of a white house.
The house was falling apart.
The wood was breaking off.
The porch didn't look stable.
Vines were growing on it.
I'm going to kill him for taking my baby to such a place.

We walked up to it and I didn't hesitate to walk in.
Brent on my heels.
Travis walked out smiling.

"Where is he?!" I yelled.
"Calm down and maybe i'll tell you." I took a deep breath. "Good girl, Ever. You've learned over those months haven't you?"

He was talking about when I would lash out and he would hit me.

"Don't start." I growled.

He rose his hand and was about to hit me when Brent stepped in.

"You touch my girl and you're dead." Brent growled.

Travis lowered his hand and smiled.

"Wow, Ever. I always knew you got around quick."
"HE IS ELIJAH'S FATHER! NOT YOU!" I yelled.

Travis was shocked.
He didn't talk for a bit.

"This is the fucker that left you the way he did?!" Travis yelled.
"Please, Travis. You never cared. All I was to you was your punching bag!"
"That's not true."
"WHAT WERE YOU JUST ABOUT TO DO?!" I yelled.

He backed down.

"You can't have Elijah."
"And why not? He's my son!" I screamed.

I couldnt give a fuck whether he hit me or not anymore.
I just wanted my baby boy back in my arms.

"Because he wants me."
"Bullshit. Elijah is terrified of you!"
"Gabe!" Travis yelled.

The man in all black came out holding Elijah.
Elijah was trembling with fear and crying.
Once he saw me his face brightened a little.

"Mommy!!" He tried to run but this 'Gabe' held him back.
"Give me your girl, we'll give you your kid." Travis shot at Brent.
"How about you give me my kid, I keep them both, and you get a punch in your fucking face."

Travis laughed.

"You think threatening me is going to scare me?"
"No, but they will."

Out of nowhere police officers ran in and dropped in from the ceiling.
Travis and his friends ran.
Elijah ran to me and jumped into my arms.
I hugged him tightly as Brent wrapped his arms around us.
He kissed Elijah's temple.
Eli was balling.
I would be too.

The police arrested Travis and his friends.
Their court date was in three weeks.
I had to testify and tell them all that had happend.
I didn't mind.
It's about time he did time for what he's done.

I slept happy and safe that night.
Brent had definitely gained my trust now.
He just saved our boy.
He called his agent and sent in police to arrest my nightmare.
Wouldn't you?
