➜ CHAPTER 12
[ 8185 words ]

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" lauren bellowed, startling violet who was on her chair. violet clung onto audrey's hand, looking away from her mother and mumbling

"mama bad word"

"what do you mean what the fuck is that?! your shitty exes leaked our daughter's private information that's what!" jaeden retorted, running his fingers through his hair as he began pacing back and forth in the living room. he and lauren were so stressed that they had forgotten that violet was still in the kitchen

"oh so this is my fault?!"

"well if you weren't such a wh—"

"such a what jaeden?! say it!", violet had never seen her mother or her father this angry before. frankly she was frightened, she was a getting a little déjà vu.

"can mister jaeden leave" she whispered, into her aunt's ear, audrey looked down at the toddler whose body was now trembling lightly.

audrey lifted the little girl up to her hip, taking her breakfast with her before saying

"i think they both need to get out and sort that in private."

"no, just mister jaeden"

"why just your dada sweetheart?"

"because after mama and uncle dylan yelled at each other he would hurt her. and i don't wanna see my mama get hurt again" violet replied, clutching onto her aunt's blouse as audrey took her to her bedroom.

once again audrey felt herself tearing up, she placed her niece on the bed and set her breakfast on the table next to her as she sat next to violet who hastily wrapped her arms around her aunt.

"oh vi, your dada's never gonna hurt your mama. no matter how mad he gets."

"but i don't like the yelling. can they stop?" violet pouted, burying her face in audrey's side to block out the yelling that could still be heard from the bedroom, very clearly might i add.

"i'll go see what i can do. you stay here okay? turn on the tv and watch something to keep your mind off it" audrey told her, pressing her lips into a thin line before planting a gentle kiss on the top of her head.

audrey let out a deep sigh, padding out of the room and closing the door as quickly as possible. lauren and jaeden were just throwing out some wild accusations, and lauren, for some reason, was trying to convince jaeden to say that she was a whore.

"why don't we all just calm down —"

"calm down?! justin i can't fucking calm down! i spent the past five years of my life trying to protect that little girl! and all he needs to fucking do is walk around in public and all that goes to waste!"
