The Real Truth

*I miss you already,can't I just come over?*

Leah said over the phone. They are having a face time.

"It's late babe,there's still tommorow...." Freddie said.

"But..."

"I'll pick you up first thing tommorow morning,is that okay?" He asked and Leah nodded with a smile.

"Are you okay?"

"Why?"

"About the man I told you,is he still lurking around?" Leah asked and Freddie was about responding but his face caught a reflection by the window.

"I'll call you back..." He quickly hung up and ran out.

"Hey! Who are you? Come back!! Hey!!" He went after the man who's already running away deep into the dark but he didn't stop his chase.

After more than ten minutes,he finally got hold of his jacket,he pulled him back with it and they both went down

"Who the hell are you!!" He demanded angrily.

"You're still a great runner son...." He heard the voice said and his eyes widened.

"Fa...ther?"

"It's been more than years since I heard that,I missed it" Lucas smiled annoyingly.

Freddie immediately climbed on him and threw him two consecutive punches across his face.

"How....dare you show your disgusting face....to... me? Do.. you....have conscious at all? After what you...did to....mum and I? You manwhôre!!!" He stammered in tears and punched him again.

"You still remember the skill I thought you,guess you never forget about me" Lucas kept smiling.

"Shut the f**k up!!!!" Freddie made to punch him again,but he dodged it and pushed him off,he stood up to his feet and wiped his bursted lips.

"Shut ranting idiot! She's not even your real mother..." Lucas shouted

Freddie eyes widened.

Reed came out of his condo and the first thing his thing his eyes caught was Aurora.

"Can we please talk...."

"What the f**k are you doing here? How did you know about this place?"

"Please just listen to me...."

"Why will I do that? I don't even know you,I don't want to met you here when I got back or I'll call the police" He said and walk out of her sight.

"Reed please...." Aurora broke down in tears.

"I'm sorry! Just hear me out for once" She cried out loud.

"There's no use in crying over a spill milk" A husky voice suddenly said beside her.

She knew that voice,how can she ever forget it. Aurora spranged up at once.

"Long time no see Aurora" The man smirked,with his tucked inside his pocket as he leaned on the wall

"Lucas?" Her eyes widened.

•••

Alex entered the living room,and met it empty.

"Has she left?" He mumbled sadly.

He hasn't seen her for almost a day now,and he missed her so much already.

He checked the kitchen but still nothing,he came back to the sitting room and sat on the couch.

Just then,the door opened and Tasha came in,Alex immediately rushed to her and before she could say anything,he pulled her into a tight hug.

"Where have you been? I almost went crazy just now" He said without thinking.

She gulped down emptiness in shock,what did he mean by that?

Alex broke the hug to look at her.

"Did something happen?" Tasha puzzled.

"No,I thought you've left" Alex pulled her to seat with him.

"Remember I told you about your new neighbour,they invite Becca to thier housewarming and you agreed for her to go,I thought I should go with her so you won't be worried" Tasha said.

"Right? Thank you!"

She smiled and turn away,wishing he could just say something to fill the awkwardness.

Alex take a deep breath and faced Tasha again, she's still looking at him.

"I missed you" He whispered and she smiled.

"I missed you too" she muttered.

Alex eyes widened. "You do?" He said and she nodded.

He hugged her tightly again,but this time,she was smiling.

Tasha blinked in anticipation as they both stared into each other's eyes.

"I like you...." He said breathlessly.

"Huh?" Tasha blinked.

"No I mean,I'm in love with you" he whispered,and her eyes widened.

•••

Aurora checked the her wristwatch and sighed,she's still sitting in front of Reed's condo,waiting for him to show up.

It's almost 9,but she's still not ready to leave him,if he his going to return the next morning,then he's meeting him here for sure.

"I've to do anything it's takes for him to forgive me" He said with determination in her eyes,her mind suddenly went to what Lucas had told her earlier.

*FLASHBACKS,ONE HOUR AGO*

"Long time no see Aurora" The man smirked,with his tucked inside his pocket as he leaned on the wall

"Lucas?" Her eyes widened.

"Miss me?" Lucas smirked.

"What are you doing here? What more did you want from me? What did you want from my son?" Aurora yelled in tears.

"What else? I'm going to tell him the truth,That I'm his real father and not Diego" Lucas smirked.

"No don't... It's still hard for him to accept me as his mum,if he found out about you,he'll never forgive me...."

"How's that my problem? You should know it's surely gonna result to this,when you refused to send me money anyway...." Lucas half yelled.

"I hate you! You're disgrace to manhood,you animal!" She hit his chest.

"I know,that reminds me...I visited your other son today..." Lucas smirked.

Aurora let go of him at once.

"What? You know where my other babies are?" Her eyes widened.

"Of course I do,even the girl....but I'm not telling you-"

"Please Lucas,tell me where they are? Haven't you come enough by taking them away from me since they were babies!!" She broke into tears.

"No,this is just the beginning of your suffering Aurora! Because of you? I lost everything that matters to me..."

"I'm sorry,just tell me where my children are please, Lucas!" Aurora pleaded.

"Meet me at our usual spot tommorow morning and let's talk business" Lucas said and left.

*END OF FLASHBACKS*

"I cursed the day I met you Lucas! I hate you so much!!" Aurora lamented.

"Why are you still here?"

She heard Reed's voice and immediately stood up.

"Please hear me out,I have a lot to tell you! Just hear me out first....Please son--"

"I'm not your son" Reed snapped angrily,his voice raising in fraustration.

"Please Reed...."

"I don't wanna hear it,get the hell out of here before I loose the last respect I had for you...." He yelled and staggered to the front door,trying to open it.

He's obviously drunk.

"Please Reed,listen to me....I know you're mad,you've every right to,but believe me I did it for you,I didn't want to loose you the same way I loose your other siblings...."

"What are you talking about?"

"The truth is you're not the only one I gave birth to,you are three!" She dropped the shell.
