Alpha Damon's Greatest Regret-Chapter 19 - - Leave

ZARAH~

Saturday morning, the one day I could catch a breath from the waves of the weekday. Elliot was still fast asleep in his room even though it was already 10 am, I usually let him sleep in till whenever he wanted since school kept him busy throughout the week. I poured myself a cup of coffee and laid comfortably on the couch, folding my legs on the cushions and resting my head on the chair arms as I looked through my emails to see if there was anything I missed before I could truly relax but thank God there wasn't, I entered into my Netflix and was about to watch a movie when I heard a knock at my door.

"Urghhhhhhh" I groan annoyed at whoever it was that was disturbing my peace, "who is it?!" I shouted, refusing to get up from the chair, there was no response.

"Who is it?!" I repeated and still there was no response, now I was really getting annoyed, I grudgingly stood from the couch and sluggishly walked to the door, I looked through the peephole and saw no one, 'probably just the kids in the neighborhood' I thought as I turned back and was about to go back to the couch when I heard the knock again, my blood boiled with annoyance as I turned around and aggressively pulled the door open, immediately I saw who had been knocking I felt my stomach twist with disgust and anger.

"Hey, Zah," my mother said, my eyes glowed, and holding tightly onto the hinges of my door was all I could do to hold back the anger I felt.

"What do you want" I asked, hatred and anger filling every word I spoke.

"I just wanna talk Zah," she said her voice soft and calm but I was enraged.

"Don't call me that!" I shouted, but I quickly calmed myself down afraid that I would wake Elliot.

"leave" I demanded in hushed tones.

"Please Zah" she begged.

"I said don't call me that" I shouted the glow in my eyes Intensifying with every second I spent in her presence, I remembered it all, how she treated me like a slave, how she hit me when I was short on rent, I hated her.

"Please Zah, let me just come in so we can talk" She pleaded as she took a step forward.

"Take another step and I'll rip your fucking head off" I warned and she stopped.

"I—"

"After everything you said, everything you did, after the way you treated me, you show your face here," I asked my voice full of rage.

"I know, I know I wasn't good, but—"

"But nothing, now fuck off Ronda," I said and slammed the door shut in her face, I pressed my back against the door and slowly slid down to the floor as my eyes filled with tears, I hugged my legs and rested on the doors with my eyes closed as tears poured out of my eyes, Seeing her again had brought back all the bad and straight up horrible memories I had tried so hard to forget.

"Mommy" I heard and my eyes shot open to see Elliot standing in front of me hugging his bunny.

"Are you ok?" He asked, his little voice filled with worry, I forced a smile a opened my arms to embrace him, he walked into it and rested against me.

"Mommy is fine, my prince," I said with a smile, I couldn't let him see me cry.

"Ravy is worried," he said, a chuckle found its way through the pain I was feeling.

"I'm ok now, you here Ravy" I assured as I gently kissed his forehead "I'm ok," I said to myself.

Now that he was awake I had to make him breakfast so I carried him to the kitchen and made him toast and scrambled eggs which he gobbled down while I watched him with joy in my eyes. When I found out I was pregnant I was first been distraught, I was angry at the world, and I wanted the stain it Damon to leave me but when I heard his heartbeat during the ultrasound, it stopped being about Damon, all the hate I felt wafted into the air as I listened to the sound of his heart and walked the screen, he was the light in my dark world, He was what kept me going, and I owed him every good thing this world had to offer.

"What do you wanna do today" I asked him with a smile as he put his spoon on the plate and walked to the sink, I followed him and watched as he stretched to reach it but his short legs were unable to, I smiled and took the plate from his hands and put it into the sink.

"I was almost there" he complained, pouting his lips.

"I know but even big strong men like you need a little help" I replied gently pinching his chubby cheeks, he grumbled but smiled.

"Thank you," he said shyly.

"You're welcome" I replied then raised him and took him to the living room.

"What do you wanna do today" I asked again.

"I wanna watch anime!" He shouted excitedly.

"Ok, we'll watch anime" I agreed as I placed him on the chair and went to turn the TV on, I connected it to my phone and entered it into my Netflix.

"Which one?" I asked.

"Suprise me" he answered with a wide smile, I looked for the most child-friendly one in the options they provided and eventually settled for Naruto then I rushed back to the chair and he laid his body on mine as we watched. I didn't care for it but he seemed to be enjoying every second of it so I forced a smile and watched when a notification slid onto the screen.

-Zah, we need to talk- the text read and once again I felt my stomach sink.
