Chapter 71: Confronting the Past

I kissed the side of her head. "Shh, everything’s going to be fine, I promise. I just need to you safe so I can concentrate on keeping Jake calm, OK?" I said honestly.

We reached my house and I opened the door quickly, heading over to the sofa. I sat down and held her on my lap, rocking her gently. "Please don’t get in trouble, Liam, please," she begged, hugging me tighter.

"I won’t. I need to go next door now. You stay here; don’t come over until I come to get you. You understand? Can you do that for me?" I asked desperately.

She sniffed and pulled away without looking at me. "Just go then," she snapped angrily, moving off of my lap to sit on the sofa. She really didn’t like this at all.

I groaned, hating her angry expression.

"I love you, Angel. I just need you and our baby safe," I explained as I kissed her cheek, rubbing my hand over her flat stomach. I fought the urge to smile thinking of my baby growing inside her, that lucky little baby gets to be closer to her than anyone for the next eight months. She nodded and closed her eyes; silent tears were still falling down her face.

I stood up and turned to leave. "Liam?" she called just as I got to the door. I turned back, hoping for a smile. "I love you too. If you get sent to jail for murder then I’ll wait for you," she stated with no emotion in her voice at all. It wasn’t a joke; she really thought I was going to jail.

I didn’t answer, I just left. There was no answer for that. She was seriously annoyed with me and I would have a lot to make up for after this. I’d never done anything that she didn’t want before and I hated doing it now.

I ran back to Jake’s. He was pacing in the lounge, looking murderously angry. "Jake, you need to listen to me," I said, grabbing his shoulder and making him face me.

"I know, I know. I can’t do anything unless he starts anything. I just want to talk to him and tell him to get the f**k out of our lives, but if he comes near me, I swear...." He gritted his teeth. He didn’t need to finish the sentence, I already knew what he would do and it wouldn’t be painless either.

After about ten minutes a car pulled up outside. I grabbed Jake’s arm as he jumped up from the sofa. "Calm the f**k down, Jake. Understand?" I ordered. He nodded and I headed to the door. I opened it and the as**ole stood there looking at me angrily. My hands were itching to choke the life out of him. I hadn’t seen him since we threw him out of the door followed by all of his stuff, three years ago, but he looked exactly the same as I remembered.

"Liam James, you’ve grown a bit, huh?" he stated, sneering as he looked me over.

"Stephen Walker, you stopped molesting young girls?" I countered, my hand squeezing the door handle so tightly that my fingers were hurting.

He glared at me and pushed past into the house. "Where the f**k are Jake and Amber?" he asked angrily.

"I’m here. And Amber’s out," Jake said calmly. Maybe he was going to be calm after all.

"You little shit! You always were f**king trouble! Where the f**k is my wife and son? And I’m taking Amber with me too," Stephen shouted, heading towards the hallway at the back. I could feel my anger rising every time he said my Angel’s name. I took a couple of deep breaths; I needed to be the strong one.

Jake started to laugh. "Yeah, OK," he said sarcastically. I think he was trying to goad his father into starting something. I think he was planning on letting him get a couple of hits in first so he could say it was self-defence.

"Where are they?" Stephen practically screamed. He always did have a bad temper.

"I’m telling you now, old man, that if you ever come near my sister again, I’ll kill you," Jake growled. "Do you understand me? You need to leave town. Now. There’s nothing left here for you now. Ruby doesn’t want you either, no one wants you," he spat.

He smiled slightly as Stephen stepped closer to him with his fists clenched. "This is all your f**king fault! You and Amber had to open your filthy mouths and tell Johnny about what happened. You’ve ruined everything for me, everything, you worthless piece of shit. I should have f**king pushed your mother down the stairs or something when she told me she was pregnant with you," Stephen shouted angrily.

Damn it, he was an asshole!

Jake grabbed him and slammed him against the wall, knocking his breath out of him.

Crap! I grabbed Jake just as he was about to punch him and pulled him away. "Not like this! Jake, not like this," I shouted, trying to restrain him.

"Let me go! I’m gonna f**king kill him. Liam, let me go!" Jake screamed, trying to throw me off of him.

"Jake, calm down!" I heard Amber say.

My blood went cold at the sound of her voice. What the hell was she doing here? We all turned to see her standing in the doorway. I let go of Jake quickly and went to go to her, but that as**ole was between me and her. He grabbed her wrist. She flinched and tried to pull her arm out of his hold.

"You! You f**king ruined everything!" he screamed at her.

"Let her go, now!" I growled through my gritted teeth, barely able to contain my anger. I could hear my heart beat drumming in my ears; I was so angry that my hands were shaking. I was going to kill him in three seconds if he didn’t let her go.
