Waste The Night

Little Buddy

*Corbyn POV*

Jonah yells down the basement stairs saying Y/n is in Jack's room, so I quickly run up and hide in Jonah's room. I can't chance being seen right now.

A couple minutes go by, Jonah walks in, shortly after, Jack walks in with Matthew.

"Surprise" Jack whispers, not wanting to scare the baby.

I quickly jump up from Jonah's bed, going to grab Matthew from his arms. I let a stray tear fall, as I'm not worried about being strong right now.

It's just me and my son that matter right now.

"Hey little buddy. I'm your dad, Corbyn, but um, you can just call me dad" Jonah and Jack chuckle as I stare down at the boy who's got my eyes.

I sit and talk with Matthew, just telling him random things about me. I know he'll never remember this and has no idea what I'm talking about but there's just so much I want to say to him but I don't think I'll ever have the chance to do so.

I tell him how lucky he got to have a mother as strong as Y/n. I tell all about how incredible it was to be able to love her and how even better it was to be loved by her.

I of course left out the details about the kidnapping and the abandonment, but I would never be mad if Y/n one day did tell him about that. I destroyed her

Matthew starts to make sounds, so I cuddle him into me, swaying around to make sure he doesn't get scared when we hear Mara scream.

"Y/n! No!"

The three of us look at each other trying to figure out what's going on, until Mara runs into the room.

"Y/n's in Corbyn's room!" Jonah jumps up, running towards my bedroom.

"I love you, little buddy. I hope to see you soon" I kiss Matthew on the forehead before handing him back to Jack. Jack takes him downstairs while I wait in Jonah's room for the coast to be clear.

I sit down in Jonah's bed, just resting my head in my hands. I'm missing out on so much in my son's life just so I don't drag Y/n into this life. She doesn't deserve to be in this stupid mafia life I chose to be in. She deserves to live freely and not constantly watching over her back.

I wipe a tear that unexpectedly fell as I hear everyone finally downstairs so I can wait at the top, listening in.

"Someone's coming over, can you leave now?" Zach chuckles. "You look good" Then a loud thud is heard

"What did I fucking say?!" Jonah shouts

I sit at the top of the stairs until I hear the front door close. I run down to see Zach with a stupid smirk on his face.

I crack my knuckles before punching that stupid smirk off his stupid little face.

"Bro- What the fuck?" Zach yelps, grabbing his jaw

"You stupid bitch!" I yell, hitting him again

I knock Zach to the ground then jump on top of him. Hitting him over and over again, not even planning on stopping until Daniel pulls me off. Even then, I keep swinging.

"Relax!" Daniel yells blocking me from hitting Zach.

Jonah just stares, leaning against the wall, smiling. If he didn't defend Y/n after Zach's comments, I'd beat his ass too.

Mara stands a few feet away with her arms wrapped around her body. She looks terrified, but why? What did she do?

"I don't want you anywhere near her! Ever again!" I yell around Daniel to Zach, who's now standing, smiling with blood dripping down from his nose and his split lip

"Or what? Huh? What are you going to do?" Zach taunts, wiping his thumb across his lip to collect the blood before it drips down his chin

"I'll fucking kill you!"

"Why don't I just go over to her place now? Just fuck around a little" Zach goes over to the door but Jack stops him.

"You leave her, and our son alone. I will not hesitate, Herron"

I grab my keys and head to the door. I can't be here, I don't want to be. I need to clear my head and there's only one place to do that.

"Where are you going?" Jonah aggressively asks

"Look at the tracker in my car, you'll figure it out" I throw my sunglasses on and put my hood up, then head out the door.

I race to my BMW, taking in the silence of finally being away from all the drama.

I can't be mad about it, I'm the one that started it, but it is nice to get away for a bit.

I pull my car out of the spot it was parked on, in the street and just drive.

Not really having a destination or really a care on where I'm going, I just drive with the music too loud to hear anything else.

I knew things were going to get complicated if I kept this up, but I never thought it would get this bad.

I didn't think Y/n would find us, I didn't think she'd even want to be near anyone in the house after everything we did to her.

I gotta get my plan in motion, to slowly ease her back into the thought that I'm actually alive.

My car automatically pulls up to the beach with the sunset in view. I walk out, going towards the water's edge, just wanting to finally be alone.
