Crossing The Line |Sequel To Not Your Lap Dog|

Chapter Fifteen

"Why," I whimper out. I fall back and I can feel my body shaking violently. "Why," I scream and my father laughs. 

"Is it really a surprise kiddo? You're a disgrace. You always have been. First you fell in love with a witch and when I allowed you to be brought back, you end up ruining my chance of finally making it big. I knew we should have just let you die," he snarls and I feel the tears begin to spill. 

"What are you talking about," I whisper. 

"Oh you don't know. If an Omega child dies, the next child their parents have will be an Omega. If you had died, I could have had a child who actually was worth something," he says and then I hear him let out a loud cry as my mom starts to close her jaw around his neck. "Now quit this dear. You know you won't kill me," he says, his voice hoarse. 

She growls, but slowly releases her grip and he chuckles, but I see something in her eyes darken and I know what's coming as she completely shuts her mouth and blood shots out and I look away, covering my face. "I should have done that a long time ago," she hisses and then I feel her arms wrap around me. "I'm sorry sweetheart," she whispers and I immediately cling to her. "There was no other way."

It's at least an hour before either of us move. My body is stiff, but I don't want to see the lifeless body of my father. He was a monster, but he's still my dad. "I need to find Reggie," I whisper and my mom nods into my shoulder and helps me stand. 

"Be careful," she whispers and I laugh hoarsely. 

"I never am," I say and she lets out a soft sigh, but smiles. 

"I know. You get that from me," she says and I hug her tightly. 

"Please, get him out of here," I whisper and she nods softly. "I'll see you later," I say before walking off, making sure not to see what became of my father. I don't run to find him. I don't have the energy right now. I just was to collapse and pass out, but I need to find Reggie. Make sure he's okay, and then, make him stop this, no matter what I have to do. 

"Why won't they stay dead," I hear someone yell and it only takes a moment for me to recognize it as the boy I love. 

"Reggie," I yell and everything goes silent and I can see his silhouette approaching slowly. When I can completely see him, I want to both hug him and beat the shit out of him. He's covered in cuts and bruises, but is also covered in blood that I know isn't his. 

"What are you doing here," he yells and then he seems to notice the look on my face. "What happened," he asks, pulling me into a hug. Is this really appropriate to be doing right now? 

"My dad tried to kill me," I say and I can tell he certainly didn't expect that. "And then my mother killed him," I whisper into his shoulder and despite the fact that I'm pissed at him, I finally hold him as tight as I can. "And you wouldn't listen to me about the fact that you shouldn't do this." 

He tilted my head up and stared into my eyes. "I'm doing this for you," he whispers, caressing the side of my face. "I just want what's best for you my love," he says and I stare at him. Then I slap him and he doesn't look angry when he looks back at me. Just surprised. 

"If you want what's best for me, then just ask me," I say and clutch the front of his shirt, which is in shreds at this point. "For once, just trust me Reggie. I know what's best for me. I know what I want," I say and his face is hard, but his eyes are soft. 

"And what is that," he asks, his hand still holding the side of my face. 

"I just want you," I whisper and he stares at me. "I want to have a life with you. Why isn't that enough Reggie," I whimper and bury my head in his chest. "Why am I not enough for you," I ask and I feel him hug me again. 

"So what do you want me to do," he whispers, petting my hair. 

"End this. Stop the fighting. Let's just live our lives together," I say. "That's all I want. Well I also want you to stop trying to alter my mind," I add and he lets out a sigh. 

"Okay," he whispers. "I'll do what I can to fix things," he presses our lips together. 

I really hope this sticks.
