Chapter 0015 There was was a little blood on my knuckles , and I bent down , wiping it on Caleb's shirt before turning to leave . " You're not going to get away with this ! " The woman shouted , but I just laughed . " We will have you locked up for the rest of your lifel " Good luck with that , " Bash said before opening the front door . I followed behind him , seething . Caleb deserved everything bad in the world and had just convinced me that I needed to do everything within my power to ensure that happened . My SUV was waiting at the front of the building , and as I heard sirens , I tossed my keys to Bash . Of the three of us , he had the least to drink tonight and was the only one I would trust to drive with Bailee and her daughter in the car . Mason opened the car door , and my eyes met Bailee's beside him as he slid out to join us . She looked worried , scared even , and it felt so fucking good as her eyes roamed up and down my body as if she were checking to see if I was okay . She cared I had been telling myself the feelings I had for her in high school were long gone , and those feelings needed to stay in t the past . I had been drowning under the crushing guilt of how I ended things with her , and I'd never hurt her ever again " Take her to Ben's house , " I demanded , pulling out my wallet and phone and handing them to Bash , who already had his hand out " What are you doing ? " Bailee asked before her eyes widened . " Jesus , Alexander ! Is that blood ? " 1 looked down , seeing the dots of red on my shirt , but didn't say anything . There was nothing I could say right now . Until I had my lawyer , I wouldn't say anything , " Alex " Bailee snapped , and I felt the corner of my mouth pull up at her attitude . Admittedly , I had missed it . It was refreshing and familiar . It was Bailee . " We'll get her settled and then swing by to get you , " Bash said , turning and walking to the car . " Hold on ! You're not coming with us ? What the heck happened up there ? " Bailee asked , and I had to look away when the little girl on her lap lifted her head to see what was going on . Seeing those wide , green eyes that mirrored Bailee's was like a stab to the gut . Was this going to be her first memory of me ? Would she know me as the angry man who showed up at her house , beat up her dad , and then got arrested ? Could I live with myself if she actually saw me get cuffed and dragged away by the cops ? " Get them out of here before the police show up , " I ordered , seeing the red and blue flashing lights down the street and moving fast Since Caleb was the son of a senator , they would be giving this call more resources than needed , and it could get ugly fast . It was better to have them leave instead of getting dragged into this * Play nice . See you in a bit , man . " Mason said , gesturing for Bailee to scoot back over before climbing in the back seat . Bash jogged around to the driver's door , nodding to me to confirm that he had her and wouldn't let anything happen to Bailee Just as the car pulled away to leave , the first cop pulled up +25 BONUS I lifted my hands to my head and dropped to my knees as the cop threw his door open , yelling for me to get on the ground .
