Laila's POV
Skylar's hand ran up and down my lower back making my head buzz from both her words and her actions towards me. I stared blankly at her as I tried to think of words to say to her because I was utterly confused.
I don't know whom I should believe but I sure hell know that I shouldn't believe that two faced bitch. But it doesn't mean I should trust Skylar because she's literally the person who could do anything just to get what she wants even if it takes shedding blood and manipulating you.
"Hey I know it's hard right now for you to choose who to believe but as I said I'm willing to wait for you. I just want right now to show you that my intentions towards you are all good and I don't plan on hurting you anymore instead I just want to cherish you and give you everything you have ever dreamed of if they are within my reach."
Skylar's hand left my lower back to the side of my neck rubbing smoothly her thumb on my cheek slowly making my hairs stand on where she touched as if her touch was burning my skin I don't know in which way. "I just want to see you truly happy after everything I have done to you. It's all I want right.. stop."
I whispered loud enough for her to hear making her stop voicing out. " Stop, It's enough I-i understand b- ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW LAILA?" Anna literally screamed out her words stopping me from finishing my words.
I squeezed my eyes together counting one to ten to stop myself from snapping at her though it's not that I care but I was already tired of her shit."I FUCKING TOLD YOU SHE'S THE FATHER OF THE BABY I'M HAVING BUT YOU STILL WANT TO BELIEVE HER WORDS NONETHELESS BE WITH HER. LAILA I SAID IF YOU DIDN'T QUIET GET IT BECAUSE I KNOW RIGHT NOW YOU ARE NOT IN YOUR RIGHT MIND. SHE'S THE FATHER OF THE BABY AND IF YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THIS BABY I'M CARRYING RIGHT NOW , IT'S FATHER OR DAD IS SKYLAR FUCKING SKYLAR. THE PERSON STANDING BEFORE YOU SO STEP BACK. I DON'T WANT MY BABY TO GROW AWAY FROM ONE OF THEIR PARENT IN FACT NO CHILD WOULD WANT TO GROW AWAY FROM ONE OF THEIR PARENT. YOU KNOW THAT FEELING BECAUSE YOU ARE A FUCKING ORPHAN BUT YOU STILL WANT TO BE A HOMEWRECKER. SERIOUSLY I THOUGHT YOU KNEW THE FEELING OF GROWING UP WITH YOUR PARENTS BUT I GUESS YOU STILL WISH ANOTHER PERSON TO LOSE A PARENT JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR USELESS PARENTLESS ASS."
My vision became blurry as I clenched my teeth hard while the grip on the gun tightened.
Calm down...
Calm down Laila...
I cooed myself as I felt myself grow hot suddenly as the only image that flashed in my mind was Anna's body laying in her own pool of blood next to Alex's.
The need of shooting Anna's brains out grew making me click the fucking safety off as I tried to turn around but Skylar stopped me with her grip on me.
She had her head now in the crook of my neck whispering words I couldn't quiet get as my mind flooded with red making me try to get away from her but one of her hand secured me in place. "Give me the gun baby. Don't listen to her just give me the gun."
I tried to not listen to Anna's words but my anger had already taken over. The only thing I wanted was to blow Anna's brains out. I don't fucking care if she's pregnant or not. She just pushed my limits ....she just messed with the wrong bitch.
I never said I believed the words that rolled off Skylar's tongue but in her case she jumped to a conclusion saying how the fresh fuck I was being a homewrecker, how I wanted her child to lose a parent.
How would I wish something bad like that to an innocent soul.
I wouldn't even try to think of wishing something like that to any child in this world because I know how hard it is to be an orphan.
How hard is it to have no one show motherly love an care.
How hard is it to have no one as you how your day was.
How hard and lonely is it to have no relative of yours to tell you happy birthday, Merry Christmas, happy new year or happy Thanksgiving.
How hard is it to have no fucking person to gift you presents on a specific special day of the year.
How hard is it to have no fucking person to tell you how much they are proud of you and fucking love.
I never experienced any of that even now. I have never experienced such things and does she think I wanted to be like this. I also wanted to be a daughter to someone and be asked how my day was or how the fuck I was feeling .
But I didn't get the chance which hurts like hell. I just wish I was at least cared and loved from any of my biological parents at least even if it was just an hour. It would have been enough in fact more than what I needed because it's so hard being alone in this world.
I just wish I was like any other person who had their parents around because I would have made sure I showed them how important and precious they are in my life because growing up from an orphanage while moving to different homesteads and back sucks. It's just hard especially when you are so young.
I never had a pole to lean on all my childhood and I grew up knowing that no body would ever want me until I found Anna who made me feel wanted and cared for. I fucking told her everything that happened to me in the orphanage and how I really didn't want any child to go through what I went through and then I knew she understood me but I guess I was wrong.
"YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING HEARTLESS BITCH AND LET ME SAY THIS TO YOU.... Fucking give me the gun Laila or else you are going to do something you will regret. Don't listen to her , you are nothing like that. You are the most purest soul I know and I know you can never wish anyone bad so give me the gun." Skylar whispered again making my attention leave Anna's words to her.
"NO"
I shook my head immediately trying to trap out Skylar's words as tears rolled down my cheeks but it was in vain.
"LET ME FUCKING KILL THAT MOTHER FUCKING ASS BITCH." I whispered harshly as I tried to remove Skylar's hand from the gun
"No , you aren't getting blood on your hands again when I'm here so fucking give me the damn gun Laila." Skylar bit down my neck harsh enough to make me gasp in pain making the grip on the gun loosen out of my hand to hers.
"Thank you. " Skylar whispered as her head left the crook of my neck bringing my head to her chest making me wrap my hands around her as I broke down immediately in her hands hearing Anna's words.
"YOU FUCKING DESERVED TO BE AN ORPHAN BECAUSE..AH." Anna's words turned into moans of pain at the end before I heard a THUD against the floor but it never stopped her loud cries of pain.
"Fucking shut your crap before I don't think twice about blowing your brains out." Skylar deadly whispered making the room fall silent.
I could feel the air becoming denser with terror as the smell of dried blood of Alexa mixed in. Anna's cries died down a bit making the extended hand of Skylar retreat back to my body hugging me tightly as I soaked her shirt.
"Hey it's fine baby, I'm now here for you so don't think you are alone. I'm going to take care and protect you. I will even become your mommy if you want me to and tuck you to bed every night. I will give you presents every day if it will make you happy so stop crying."
Her scent filled my nostrils making me snuggle more to her. I resisted the urge to laugh in amusement hearing her words. " You never deserved any of that , you deserve more than you ever imagine and I'm willing to do anything for you to have them. I promise you." Skylar's hand ran through my hair as she whispered sweet nothings to me making me sob more in her chest.
I hugged her tighter as she continued holding me close as if we were the only people in the world. Anna's cries faded as the only thing I could hear was her heart beat as my head laid on her chest.
Everything died down as we shared the moment together forgetting everything that was around us and for the first time I felt I new emotion...I felt safe and protected, surprisingly with the person I never thought to be with the past few days.
The one and only she devil SKYLAR WEST. I could feel her words she said a while ago slowly sink in me changing a bit the thoughts about her. Maybe she's not lying to me and maybe she's saying the truth this time around.
"REMEMBER THIS LAILA, YOU WILL REGRET EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AFTER YOU REALIZE THE TRUTH AND TRUST ME I KNOW YOU WILL" Anna yelled as if she had read my mind and in a matter I felt Skylar draw in a deep breath then extended back the hand that held the gun against my chest and guess what... In a matter of seconds silence took over us again and I knew this time it was permanent.
********
What do you think of Skylar new side? ...
I really liked how she said how she's going to be her mommy just to make her feel better.
The hardest ones are the one with the most purest hearts.
So what's going to be Skylar and Laila's ship name ??
Any suggestions, for me I thought of Skaila...
