Bianca's POV

It'd been a few days since I told them who was Adriana's dad. Let me tell you something. These past few days have been hell. I even had to tell Tony to take Adriana away from her own home. Mike has been constantly drunk. It was annoying me. "Jaime, I don't know what to do." I sighed, sitting on the floor.

"Talk to him?" his hand rested on my shoulder.

"I've tried." I really have tried. Everytime it ended in a massive row, things being thrown around the house. Just as an on cue, Mike came flying through the front door. Both me & Jaime stood up. "Oh cozy are we?"

"Go to bed Michael." I sighed. I really did not need the third argument of the day and it wasn't even 5pm yet.

"No thanks, I'll just go back out. Leave you & him alone. Try not to get her pregnant Hime-Time." That was it. I had, had enough. I grabbed the glass bowl from the table & threw it at him. I had a pretty awful shot. It missed him completely.

"Get out of my house!" I yelled. He shook his head. "Why the hell would I cheat on you Michael Christopher Fuentes?!"

"Oh I don't know, because you're cheap!" he spat. I felt so bad for Jaime having to witness this. I pushed him out the way & headed upstairs. Mike grabbed my arm. "Where do you think you're going?"

"To bed, now let go of me." I shouted back at him. In actual fact I was going to get rid of his stuff. I didn't want him in my house, or anywhere near me right now. He let go & I ran upstairs. I heard the door slam. I looked out the bedroom window, he was stood outside looking up at the window. Perfect. I grabbed a load of his clothes from the closet, throwing them out of the window. "I hate you!" I yelled over & over again as I threw more things out.

"Grow up Bianca. You're acting like a 2 year old." Our neighbours were beginning to come out of their houses. I didn't care anymore. I picked up a picture of us, from back in high school. I threw it out. It smashed as soon as it hit the ground.

"Maybe if you were drunk all the time, I wouldn't act like this." I slammed the window shut & sat on the floor. Jaime was stood in the doorway. "I'm sorry you had to witness that."

"I've seen you worse than that." he laughed. He was right, I've gone crazier than throwing a few things out of a window. He sat behind me, pulling me into a hug. The door slammed once again, footsteps coming upstairs. A sudden thud against my bedroom made me jump. There was a dent in it from where Mike had punched it.

"I told you to get the fuck out." I stood up, I was not backing down.

"This is my house, you get out." he spat. Hell no. I was not leaving. "Everything in this house belongs to me, including you."

"I'm not your possession Mike. Don't treat me like one." I sighed, yes I was close to giving in. "You know what? Fine, I'll leave. I'll go." I grabbed a suitcase from under the bed & started packing my things. He just lent against the door, watching me.

"You won't do it."

"Wanna bet?" I picked up the last remaining picture of us two, throwing it against the wall. "I don't know what I ever saw in you. You pushed me too far this time Mike, I'm done. We're done. It's over" I heaved the suitcase off the bed & walked out of the house. Out of his life. The tears were coming. I didn't want to leave him, but I didn't have a choice.

I was sat on Natalie & Vic's floor, hugging my knees. Vic was yelling down the phone, it was probably Mike. Natalie was sat next to me, rubbing my back. "I don't understand it, he was fine about it."

"You know what he's like, Vic will talk some sense into him. Where's my niece anyway? I need to see that cute little thing." she gushed.

"With Tony. I told him to take her away from the house a few days ago." I smiled at her. She adored little Adriana. As did Vic.

"Don't you dare bring my niece into this Michael!....You'r...No....Oh whatever." He slammed the phone down on the counter. "Give up Vic, he's lost his mind."

"That may true B, but he can not treat you like this. No offence, you three caused this mess. He needs to man up a bit." his voice returned to his normal calm state. He was right, as usual. "I'll call Tony, have him bring Adriana over & himself." I smiled at the thought of that.

"Look who's here..." I turned round to see Tony with Adriana in his arms. I jumped up & took her from him. I smiled down at her, she was so perfect. "We won't tell your mummy that we spent lots of money on you today." Tony grinned.

"Tone, seriously? She has enough." I laughed. He just shrugged. "When did she last feed?"

"Just before I came over here." That I was glad about. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing..." my voice trailing off as she gurgled in my arms causing me to smile. I was walking about, keeping her settled. "We'll talk later okay?" He nodded & headed off somewhere in the house. I decided to sit down. I put my arms round her to make sure she was protected. "Your Uncle Mike is silly boy Adriana..." Tears were forming as I spoke. She wouldn't be able to understand but least I had her to talk to.

A knock on the door made me jump a little. I got up carefully placing Adriana safely on the sofa. I opened the door to see Mike stood there, I went to shut the door but his foot stopped. He pushed the door opened & walked in. I didn't want him here. "Bianca, have you se...." Tony stopped mid-sentence.

"Oh here he comes, the daughter stealer." I snorted at his comment. My hand covering my hand quickly. "About your offer, I'd like to take it."

"I don't think so." I retorted. "You are not taking my girl away from me."

"Who are you to stop me?" he took a step closer to me. I took a step back, I won't lie he was intimidating me right now. That's not something that happened often but right now I was actually scared.

"Her mother, that's who I am." I spat. "Like Tony's going to give her up now, especially to someone like you." His eyes narrowed at me, I hit a nerve then. He took a step back, his eyes floating between me & Tony. "Can you just leave?"

"She'll screw you over mate." he said towards Tony. "You haven't heard the last of this." His threats didn't usually scare me but this one did. He wanted my baby girl, he wasn't going to get her. After he left, I just looked at Tony who was still stood on the stairs. I knew what he was thinking.

"Go on B. Take her, I don't mind." he struggled to get them last few words out. "I'll have the papers tomorrow." Oh jesus christ, look at what you've done now. I didn't want Tony to 'give her up'. She was his, no matter what anyone said or thought. That would never change. Let me get one thing straight, I do not have any sort of feelings towards.

No I didn't want a relationship with him, but what I did want was both of her parents around & together even as friends. Growing up with a father not around was a shit life & I didn't want that for her.

Tony's POV

Do you know what it's like to have to give up your own daughter? It broke me saying it. But it had to be done, I could tell Bianca was torn. She loved Mike, she really did. But she wanted the family together. Don't get me wrong, I've always had feelings for her. I pushed them aside because she was always happy with Mike.

"Tone you've zoned out." she laughed, waving her hand in front of my face. We were now back at my new apartment. It wasn't special but it'd be okay for them. Her eyes kept closing then opening again as we watched some lame film. "B, go to bed doll."

"No, it's my night tonight." she yawned.

"Get some sleep, go on I'll do it. I know the whole routine now. You can use my room." I smiled at her. She really did need some rest. The whole baby business was really quiet tiring. She stood up & hugged me. "Thanks Tone, you're a star."

"Anything for you." She let go & wandered off upstairs.

Here's a little something for you, don't fall in love with your best friend. It'll ruin your life.
