Chapter 12 - Chapter Twelve: Kicked Out – Part: 1

Ever's pov

My eyes fluttered open to the feeling of someone shaking my shoulder. Instantly a pair of midnight-brown eyes caught my attention. For a moment I was confused. Wondering why and how I was in the car, but then I remembered. Panic flooded my veins and settled in the pit of my stomach.

"Are my babies okay? " I had looked away from Adrian and blankly stared ahead. Just now noticing we're at the nearest gas station.

Bri and Jade must've got hungry…

"don't worry, your little beans are in perfect health, " I couldn't help but chuckle a bit when he spoke in a posh English accent, trying to sound professional. Key word, trying.

"here, "reaching into the backseat, Adrian had grabbed a Manila folder, handing it to me with a heart-stopping smile.

I'm serious. When he smiled, I think my heart stopped beating and I may have stopped breathing. But only for a second. Okay, a minute at most.

He has dimples! And a fang on his right k9!

Cute!

Opening the folder, I pulled out its contents and right away tears filled my eyes. Just like yesterday morning, I cried happy tears.

My beautiful babies…

He's right they do kinda look like little beans…

My little beans…

After wiping away my tears and putting away the picture, gently pulled Adrian in for a hug. For some reason, I always end up in his arms. Not that I'm complaining or anything. In fact, I quite like it here.

"Awe, look at you two being all cute and stuff, " Bri's teasing tone came from the back and I could help but wonder when they came back.

Looking in the back seat I couldn't help but chuckle and shake my head.

"Look who's talking," Bri and Jade were cuddled up in the back. her head laid on Jade's shoulder, and Jade had her arm wrapped around Bri's shoulder, pulling her closer.

Bri only chuckled, sticking out her tongue, showing off her piercing. I noticed how Jade's eyes went wide and how her face became a light shade of pink, making me laugh a bit more. Pervy Jade…

All of us continued to laugh and have a good time on the drive back to my house. Despite my laughter, I couldn't help but feel anxious, remembering the phone call with Enzo earlier today.

He told my parents… And yet they haven't tried to contact me…

For some reason that both scares me and pisses me off…

Maybe he didn't tell them and was just bluffing because I pissed him off…

"What. The. Hell! " The animosity in Bri's voice pulled me out of my growing anxious thoughts as I looked in the direction she was glaring.

Before Adrian could even put his car in park, I was already running towards the front door. Being careful to avoid all of my things that littered the front yard. My clothes, school supplies, make-up, everything! They weren't even in bags or boxes. It looks like all of my stuff was thrown out of my bedroom window. Luckily the front door was unlocked.

Bursting through the door with Bri right behind me, I headed straight for the living room, where I was surprised to see, not only my parents. But Enzo's parents as well. Both were drinking wine and laughing like they didn't just throw all of my shit outside. I was livid.

"What the hell is going on?!" I yelled, earning a glare from the four of them when I caught their attention.

"What's It look like skank?" my mother started but was interrupted by my father.

"Since you think you're grown enough to have a child, you're grown enough to move out! Simple as that! Now get out of my house! " my father's bellowing voice would usually strike fear in me, but I was too angry to even flinch.

Ignoring my father I turned towards Enzo's parents, who were laughing to themselves. They never liked me, even when Enzo and I were together.

"So if I'm getting kicked out, does that mean you kicked out your son? Because that only seems fair since he's the one that got me pregnant! "

"Oh, you mean when you forced my son to have sex with you so you could get pregnant? So you could keep him held down when he tried to break up with you? No, we didn't. " his mother said with a smirk that I just wanted to rip off her face until I registered what she said.

Forced him to have sex with me?... What the hell is this crazy bitch on about?...

All of what she said sounded so ridiculous that I started laughing so hard I thought I was gonna pee myself. Bri was laughing just as hard behind me.

"first… first of all… I broke up with him because he cheated on me so that part doesn't make sense. But what's even more ridiculous is the fact you think I forced him to sleep with me. Trust me, he was more than willing to, "

"EVER LYNN MONROE! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! " my mother shouted, as she stormed up to me, trying to slap me across the face. But I was faster and moved out of the way just before the impact.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!," I was seething at this point, but I was nowhere near finished.

"THE ONLY TIME YOU OR DAD EVER COME HOME IS WHEN YOU HAVE "IMPORTANT GUESTS" THAT YOU NEED TO "IMPRESS" LIKE WE'RE SOME SORT OF "HAPPY FAMILY" WHEN WE ALL KNOW ITS A DAMN LIE!"

"YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE—" my mother tried to interrupt but I was having none of it, putting my hand up in front of her face I successfully shushed her.

"I'M NOT DONE! YOU DON'T GET TO PRETEND LIKE YOU'RE MY PARENTS WHEN IN REALITY YOU'RE JUST STRANGERS TO ME! BUT DON'T FUCKING WORRY, I'M LEAVING! WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GROWING UP– THEN WE CAN TALK! "

I looked over at my father who was just staring at me, almost like he wanted to say something. Whatever, it's not my problem. I moved out of the way of my mother's relentless onslaught a few more times until Bri stepped in front of me and stopped my mother from attacking me further.

My mother being the dramatic bitch that she is, made a scene as she threw herself back against the wall. Bri didn't even push her that hard- if at all.

Loud gasps echoed throughout the living room as my father helped my mother back onto her feet.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH! I SHOULD SUE YOU! " my mother's shrill voice pierced our ears, making us wince. My father included.

"I've heard that one before… " Bri rolled her eyes, annoyed with my mother's shenanigans.

"I think it's time that you both leave, " my father spoke in a calm voice, sadness laced in his tone, and a mix of sadness, anger, and regret in his eyes.

Nodding my head, having enough of everyone's BS I headed for the door.

"Oh, wait before I forget, " I turned around, handing my father one of the ultrasound pictures I had stashed in my pocket.

"I'm having twins… " With a smile I turned back around, ignoring my mother's shouts as I walked out the door, slamming it shut.

It was when I was halfway to the car that I noticed all of my things were no longer on the ground. The sound of a trunk slamming shut caught my attention and I noticed Adrian leaning against it with his arms folded against his chest.

"come here precious… " Adrian's deep and soothing voice called out to me, and I did as he asked. Running straight into his arms.

As soon as his arms were secured around me, the sobs I had been holding back while I was in that place came to the surface.

"It's okay, I've got you–" Adrian was trying to console me, when Enzo's mother rudely interrupted. Screeching nothing but profanities.

"I KNEW IT! YOU LITTLE WHORE! –"

That's IT!

"OH MY GOD, VITTORIA I GET IT! YOU DON'T LIKE ME! WELL NEWSFLASH! I DON'T LIKE YOU EITHER! SO WHAT IN GOD'S NAME WOULD I GAIN FROM LYING TO YOU? HM? "

I don't think she expected me to snap at her the way I just did. To be honest, neither did I, but boy did it feel good. Cathartic even. So I continued, my voice a little lower this time.

"You always made it a point to tell me how I was "no good" for your son, but you failed to see that he was the one that was no good for me."

"Do you want to know what he did after I told him I was pregnant? "

Vittoria rolled her eyes as she flung her box-dyed blonde hair out of her face while motioning for me to go on. Leonardo and my parents were standing on the porch behind her, curious looks and snobby smiles on their faces except my father's.

"he threw me against his car door and smashed my head on his passenger seat window. Then proceeded to hit the seat with his fis, just barely missing me. When I got out of the car, a pair of women's underwear that were not mine by the way got stuck to my purse. "

As I was saying these things, I noticed how Vittoria's smile slowly started to disappear. Along with the others. But I'll have to admit, she's quite the stubborn woman. Narcissistic is more like it.

"then care to explain the nasty bruise you left on my baby boy's beautiful face? Cause from what he told us, you went ballistic the moment he told you he didn't want it. "

"I punched him in the face because he grabbed me a little too hard when I called him out on his bullshit. Then he decided that as a 'punishment' he would leave me in the middle of nowhere, telling me I was just an 'easy lay' and that I meant nothing to him in the first place. So I'd say that that bruise was well deserved. "

"alright if that's the case, care to explain who this young man is? " My father asked, an incredulous look on his face as he walked towards us stopping just in front of Adrian.

"This young man is Adrian and he as well as his sister and their best friend saved me. While I was walking aimlessly towards a town I wasn't at all sure I would reach for three hours. They pulled over and offered me a place to stay. "

Like a switch was flipped, my father reached a hand out towards Adrian with a look on his face I haven't seen since I was a little girl. Pride. Love. And admiration.

Adrian looked at me, almost as if asking for permission. I nodded my head with a small smile directed at my father while I rubbed my stomach protectively. I hadn't noticed that both Jade and Bri got out of the car until my father had taken Jade's hand.

"Aaron! What the hell are you doing?! Get away from her! " my mother- sorry- Diana, seemed both shocked and disgusted by my father's actions. But I was shocked when he ignored her completely, pulling me into his arms.

"I'm so sorry baby girl. So so sorry. I should've been there for you, but I wasn't. And I'll never forgive myself because of it. " by the feel of the wetness on my shoulder and the way this grown man is shaking in my hold, I knew he was crying.

"It's okay… I forgiv–" The feeling of being in my father's arms was snatched away from me by a very angry and bitter Diana as she tried to push me to the ground, but Adrian caught me before that happened.

"YOU BITCH! "

"JADE DON'T! "

It all happened so fast. One second I almost ate the ground, and the next my mother was on the ground holding her nose with a very angry Jade hovering over her with Bri's arms wrapped around her to stop her from moving further.

I don't know if I want to laugh, cry, or punch my mother in the face myself. So...

I did a mix of all three.
