OBEY ME (BWWM) [REWRITTEN]

49-Fatherly Fight

"I don't Axel. France is beautiful but what about Devine? Her school? Her friends? What about the baby? Wouldn't you want him or her to be born in New York?" Alora asked

"I didn't think about that"

"If we move to France what will happen to Lizzie?" Alora said

"I don't know"

"She's been isolated in that house for so long Axel. It isn't good" Alora said

"Alora..she deserves to be in there. You don't know what she's capable of. I don't trust her okay?"

"Why not?"

"Because–This isn't about Lizzie it's about us. Our family."

"Let the baby be born in New York. We'll decide after what to do okay?"

"I agree actually"

"I'm glad you do" Alora giggled

Devine jumped out of sleeping crying. Jumping on Alora she gave her a hug shaken up.

"Devine? What's wrong?" Alora asked worriedly

Devine continued to cry

Alora looked at Axel who was worried himself. The room fell silent amidst Devine's cries.

"Devine?" Alora said lowly

"Did you have a bad dream?" Axel asked softly

Devine nodded slowly as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Do you feel comfortable talking about it?" Alora asked

"No," Devine said

She crawled out of bed and headed for the door.

"I'm gonna ask Aunt Annika for water," Devine said before leaving

Axel looked at Alora with confusion and worry.

"Should we take her somewhere fun today?" Alora asked Axel

"You have to rest...I'll figure something out," Axel said thinking to himself deeply

Meanwhile...

"Aunt Annika?" Devine whispered sharply as she tapped on Annika who was in a deep sleep

Devine tapped on her Aunt's arm harder finally getting her to wake up. Annika sat up in bed tired yet confused.

"Devine? What are you doing here?" Annika asked sleepily

Heavy sniffles and wiping her teary eyes Devine finally opened her mouth to speak.

"Can I have some water?"Devine asked

"Have you been crying?" Annika whispered

"Only a little" Devine said

"What?! Why?" Annika asked worriedly

"Just a bad dream?" Devine said

"Are you sure?" Annika asked

"No Aunt Annika" Devine finally admitted

"What's the matter, Devine?" Annika asked

"Before we went to France my only friend told me I'd never see him again," Devine said pouting

"Why did he say that Devine? Did something happen to him?"

"He moved away," Devine said

"I thought you were crying because you had a bad dream," Annika said
