"Daddy why can't you come with us?" I stood with folded arms waiting for Aiden to tell his father goodbye. "I'm still not well buddy but as soon as I get better I'll be right there." I walk over to them and pick Aiden up just so they could speak better because Elliott couldn't kneel to his level.

"Mommy can we please wait until daddy is better so he can come with us?" Aiden questions and I look at Elliott who was now holding out his hand to take him. "Hold my cane please." He handed it to me as he took Aiden.

"Daddy will be fine son, I just want you to promise to always take care of mommy, alright?" He looks at him and Aiden nods and I just watch my two loves, I feel sad. "Mommy needs you to be big and strong for her and remember to always be nice to mommy."

"Okay daddy." He smiles at Aiden and I feel my throat burn. "Give daddy a hug." Aiden hugs him and the way he hugs Aiden seems as if he's really going to miss having him jump in the bed, play with him and make him all kinds of cards. I smile at them both. "I love you son."

"I love you too daddy." He hands him back to me and I give him his cane then set Aiden down. "Go to the car baby, I'll be there soon." He walks off and the driver opens the door for him, Elliott and I begin to face each other.

"So, every weekend I'll fly him out and some holidays you can spend with him." I remind and he nods. "Alright then. The caregiver I requested for you should be here in a few minutes, will you be alright til then?"

"Yeah, I guess I will."

"The housekeeper should come every two days and I left you a list of all the persons who are in charge of keeping this house going. Please only call them."

"Okay. Thank you, for everything."

"Alright then." I turn to walk away. "Wait." I turn back to face him. "What's up?"

"Don't I get a goodbye hug too?" He smiles at me and I walk over to him. "Sure." I wrap my arms around his waist and he wraps his around me resting his head at the top of mine.

"I'm sorry I can't be all that you need." He kisses my head and I look up at him. "I'm sorry you don't need me." He rest his forehead on mine. "It's going to be so lonely without both of you here." He says softly and I close my eyes. This man, oh this man, has my heart and will always have it.

I feel his lips touch mine and I open my eyes shocked then he begins kissing me and I close my eyes and kiss him back, it's been so long, my heart begins to race and of course it was short lived as he pulled away slowly, my eyes remained shut as I imprint this memory, the last we'd probably share. "Goodbye Gianna." I open my eyes. "Goodbye Elliott." I begin leaving his embrace, I continued walking away not looking back.

I buckled myself in the seat and as our car began to leave Sarah's car began driving in, her and her daughter were taking mine and Aiden's place.

"It's going to be so lonely without both of you here." What a load of horse shit. It's not even hurting as much because I suspected that this was why he was leaving me. It wasn't just the memory loss, it was her.

This is why he didn't tell me I didn't have to pack, I didn't have to leave, because Sarah was coming to live with him. I put my hand over my stomach and rest my head back. Maybe I should have told him about you. I shake my head. It would have changed nothing. He has a physical child and still wants to leave.

Children don't save failed marriages and relationships, I'll just keep you to myself a little while longer. Tears roll down my cheeks and I close my eyes and try to enjoy the ride to the airport.


"Hi mom." I smile at my mother as she opens the door. "Grandma!" Aiden yells and hugs her. "Hello my little munchkin." She greets and kneels. It was nice to be home but my dad and I still didn't patch things out. Sad to say at the very least, I was daddy's girl now, I don't even know where I stand.

My love for another man ruined the life between me and the main man in my life, the one that was there from the start. Aiden goes in and my mom starts helping me take in the bags. "Where is dad?"

"Left him in front if the tv dear."

"Are you sure he's okay with this?" I question as we take some bags in then went back outside for more. "I've accepted your brother countless times after everything. Why not accept you, you are my child." I hear his voice behind us and I turn to face him as he walks outside.

"Hi dad." I smile faintly. "Hello Gianna." He continues to the car to help with the bags. "Thank you." I said as he walked back toward us. "Mhm." Was all he said as he passed, I'm living in a world where the most important men in my life choose to dislike and can't even look at me. I sigh. Maybe staying here won't help me cope after all.

The next morning I woke up, not a single text from Elliott asking if we arrived okay. Expected, he was probably between the sheets with Sarah right now, deep inside of her the way he was with me. I feel tears in my eyes as I sit up in the bed after a sleepless night.

Wyatt: Ping!
Wyatt: Ping!
Wyatt: Ping!
Wyatt: Ping!
Wyatt: how many times I gotta Ping before you answer?🧐
Wyatt: Ping!

I chuckle as I see him spam my iMessage. Despite everything and the distance as well as separate lives, we still tried to keep in touch.

Gianna: Good morning Wyatt, I think 5 pings is enough. Lol

Wyatt: good morning. I hope you're really laughing and not down in the dumps.

Gianna: more of a smile than a laugh, the dumps is actually where I belong😞 pretty usless😔

Wyatt: Did you get to your parents alright?

Wyatt: Hello! Hell no, you are the most useful human in the world, you have proven yourself useful to me in many ways😏

Gianna: I did🙂 Thanks😁

Gianna: Why smirk at the end?👀

Wyatt: Because smirking with you is fun😏😏😏

Gianna: Ha, please. That's not why, tell me🥺

Wyatt: not trynna be awkward or whatever but, you're no longer with my cousin... sooo if I tell you why I'm not ruining anything right?😗

Gianna: 👀 I don't believe so but, what are you saying?

Wyatt:😀... let's just say on lonely nights when we fake dated and even now just living with my son, you've been very useful in helping me find release.🙈

Wyatt: I mean, not that you haven't been useful in many other ways that saved my life🙏🏾 buuuuut, hopefully you're not grossed out by this confession and it at least makes you smile.

Gianna:👀😳

Gianna: wow... uhm... wow😅 you're welcome🥴

Wyatt: I hope this changes nothing between us, yes it happened when you guys were still married but hey, I got a lot of demons I'm still trynna control. Sorry if you take offense....

Gianna: I'm not offended, if anything I feel good that I'm actually able to make someone feel something, feel the urge and need to explode😏

Wyatt:😅

Wyatt: please don't let what's happening  with you guys now be the end of you. You're single and sure you're a mom... try to enjoy life alright?❤️ My minion needs me I have to go🧞‍♂️.

Gianna: I'll try my best to❤️ Thank you Wyatt. And hug and kiss Ger for me🥰

I sigh closing the phone. That felt awkward... it's his cousin. Sure I don't feel anything for him but, it would be nice to flirt... who am I kidding. I'm just an attention seeking pathetic little whore. Because Of that I lost my best friend and sister all because I'm spreading my legs for the first man to give me attention.

Unbelievable.

"Gianna?" I look up to see my dad walking into the room. "Hi dad." He stands up at the foot of the bed. "Can we talk for a minute?" I put my phone away and sit up in the bed. Great, he's probably going to tell me I can't stay here anymore and how much he told me so. I take a deep breath and he sits on my bed.

Moment of silence for the soon to be homeless girl. Goodbye Grayson and Lowe home. I'm being dramatic, I could afford elsewhere but that still wouldn't be a hone, just a place... home is where the heart is and that's with my family.
