London's POV -

                  I sighed loudly as I stepped off the plane. Moving back to California isn't going to be easy, but I'd rather be here then all alone in Atlanta. I'm moving back in with my mother.

             I grabbed my bag and proceeded to leave the airport. The same airport Cam & I stood in together before we changed our lives moving to Atlanta. I looked around, then continued to walk. I stood outside of LAX waiting for a taxi to bring me back home. I realized that I'm going back to the place where everything started about 7 years ago. I held my hand up as a taxi drove by, signaling for them to pick me up. The taxi stopped in front of me and I got in.

"Where to ?" The old Indian man asked me.

                 I told him the address and he put it into his GPS.

           I paid the taxi driver and thanked him as he stopped in front of my old house. I grabbed my bags and got out of the vehicle. He drove off. I stood there and took a deep breath before going into the house.

"Mom ?!" I called out for her. 

             She came from the kitchen to the front door looking shocked.

"London !" She exclaimed. She didn't know I was coming back.

           She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight. I smiled then pulled back. I looked at my mothers face. She looked more nervous than anything.

"What are you doing here ?" She asked.

"Well, I was wondering if I could  move back in. Just until I find somewhere to stay." I ran my fingers through my hair.

"Well, sure honey. Just uh, stay right there I'll take your stuff to your room." She said grabbing my bags.

"No, I got it." I smiled grabbing them back.

"Just give them here." She took them again.

"Stop. I got it."

             We argued over the bags for a second until I just took them and started to go up the steps. As I was walking something caught my eye. I dropped my bags and walked into the living room. I walked in and saw Faithe, my daughter, sitting on the floor.

"Faithe !?" I exclaimed/questioned.

"Mommy !" She exclaimed running up to me.

                       I picked her up and held her close to me. I felt warm tears falling down my cheeks. I immediately grabbed her bag I saw on the floor & my bags and tried to leave.

"London wait !" My mom exclaimed running after me.

"You dumb bitch. You knew my child was in a different state and you tried to keep that a secret from me ? What the fuck is wrong with you ?" I was still crying.

"London, I am your mother ! You can't talk to me any kind of way." She shook her head.

"Fuck you. If you weren't my mother, I'd probably fuck you up." I said.

 Her mouth dropped.

"You know what j- " I stopped her.

"Get the fuck out of my way." I said through clenched teeth.

                      I pushed my way past her and left with Faithe. I then realized I had no car.

Cameron's POV -

                     I was driving back to London's mother's house to pick up Faithe. She said she wanted to spend time with her granddaughter so I gave them the day to hang out. I stopped at the stoplight and turned going down the street London's mom lives on. I pulled up and noticed a woman with sunglasses on, sitting down holding my daughter.

                 The woman had long black hair and a nice figure from what I saw, but she was a stranger, with my daughter. I stopped the car and got out walking to the woman.

"Excuse me ma'am. That's' my daughter." I said trying to be polite and take her back.

                The woman didn't say anything, all I heard was her soft cries.

"Aye, you alright ?" I asked kneeling down by her.

                           I removed her sunglasses from her face and my heart dropped.

"London ?"

"Get the fuck away from me." She said looking at me holding Faithe even tighter.

"I'm sorry."

"You would stoop so low to keep me away from my child for two months ! Let alone bring her to a different state ?!" London exclaimed.

                     Faithe looked between the both of us.

"I didn't know what else to do."

"So you take my child away ? ... She's all I have Cameron." London cried.

"London.."

"You left me alone in Atlanta, with nothing !" She exclaimed.

"Please don't do this in front of her." I said.

                          She looked away.

"I don't want to talk about it." I saw many more tears fall down her cheeks.

"London, please." I tried to touch her.

                  She slapped my cheek hard.

"Don't fucking touch me, Cameron !" She said.

                   My jaw clenched. She stood up, grabbed her bags and Faithe and walked down the street.

"London, where are you going ?" I followed her.

"Mind your own damn business." She kept walking.

"Your not going anywhere with my daughter." I said getting in her face.

"Oh yeah ? Watch me." She pushed me and kept walking.

                      I looked as Faithe looked back at me. I shook my head. How did London find out about this ? Why was she on the street crying ?

 I have to talk to her.
