The father of my child was threatening to kill me and I knew staying here would make things worse.

After what happened last night Jace stormed off and I cried myself to sleep on the couch but this morning I woke up in our, I mean Jace's bed.

It was now 3 and since 10 this morning Jace has been ignoring me, but when he does finally acknowledge me it was to push me out of his way, literally. I was in the kitchen making my breakfast when Jace grabbed my arm roughly and threw me out of his way. He's been real petty too, he took my car keys and hid then somewhere and threw away all the gifts he brought me.

So I've decided it's just best for me to leave. "Where you going?" I jumped at the sound of his voice as I packed my things.

"Leaving. I'm moving back in with Chanel. I figured since I only have a couple of months left to live according to you, I should spend some time with the ones I love." I told him as I continued to place my clothes in my bag.

He said nothing but nod and walk away.

Nicki had been gone a week now and I couldn't lie, I missed her. Even though she played me I still loved her.

"Yo Jace. I can't believe Nico was Caine's son." Tez said shaking his head.

"I know. If I knew that shit I never would have got involved with him." I admitted. "You know this means war right?"

I sighed nodding. The reason Caine Jackson was the person he was, was because he wasn't known for bullshitting around, if you fucked him over even if it was in the littlest way he'd kill you.

He had eyes and ears in the streets and in the law. I knew if he was still alive I wouldn't be, he would have had me killed before I even got close to talking to his baby girl.

"Yeah, I know. That man died three years ago but still got people on the streets ready to kill for him and his family."

"Maybe you could talk to Nicki." Tez suggested. "No. Besides she moved out."

"That's because you threatened to kill her." He chuckled shaking his head at me.

"Jace I don't know what you were thinking but that's Caine's baby girl and the only person that can save us so you better make up with her ass and quick."

He was right. Ever since I found out who their father was I've been fearing my life. I seriously fucked up.

I should have never fucked with Nicki in the first place.

Nothing had happened yet but I knew it was coming, I knew niggas was out there plotting on my life.

I was on my way over to my moms house when my phone started ringing and an unknown number popped up.

"Hey Jace-" I heard as I answered the call. "Who's this?" I asked cutting the person off.

"It's Cassie! Nicki's friend."

*Cassie

"Oh Cass, wassup" I was confused at why she was calling me, I've only seen her twice in person other than that everything I knew about her was what Nicki told me.

"You gotta get to the hospital like right now. It's Nicki." I quickly served switching lanes so I was going into the direction of the hospital. "I'm on my way" I told her before hanging up.

"Nicki Lopez!" I said frantically to the receptionist. She scrolled quickly through her computer then finally looked up at me. "She's in room 14. It's down there" she said.

I rushed over to the room, I saw Cassie waiting outside shaking her legs nervously, I walked pasted her and was about to go in but a doctor came to stop me. "Sir you can't go in there."

"That's my girl. I need to see her." She sighed and gestures for me to sit down.

"What happened to her?" I asked.

"Stress. She's 4 months pregnant and her stress levels are too high. If she continues to stress herself out she will not only being putting herself at risk but the baby too." She explained to me.

"Can I go see her?" She nodded and led me into the room.

"Nic." She looked up from her phone at me.

"What are you doing here?" She asked turning away. I walked over to her side and grabbed her face making her look at me.

"I'm sorry for all the shit I said and put you through. I love you girl and I don't wanna lose you." I apologised and she bit her lip as tears pouted from her eyes.

"You really hurt me Jace. I told you the truth about Nico and you made me feel like shit about it." She said softly. "I know I was just angry at the fact you was hiding shit from me." Finding out about her and Nico from JJ really pissed me off. She was meant to be somebody I trusted but I hardly knew her.

"I was wrong for that and I'm sorry. I promise I won't hide anything from you again."

I reached for her hand. "And I promise I won't jump to conclusions and make sure I hear you out."

"Does this mean you don't want to kill me no more?" She asked with a slight smile on her face. We stared in each others eyes until she laughed. "You're so crazy but I love you."
