Ok, yes I haven’t posted for a while so you may have to re-read just to remember what happened so far. I’m only human and I do have a life so sometimes that catches up with me. Year 11 is the year that has taken over my life but no fear. I’m back. Ha. Anyway enjoy. I will be finishing this story soon with an ending that isn’t typical but needed for the sake of everyone.

*Trey’s Point of View*
What did I do? Ok, I wasn’t the best boyfriend at times in the past but I thought that we moved past that. I didn’t want to hurt anyone anymore because I knew what Dami was like within my life but all the drama caught up with me. I guess it was karma. I’m not going to take the coward’s way out and do something stupid. I have to deal with it.
*Khayla’s Point Of View*
“Ash, what have I done?” I broke the silence that had formed since he passed me the bottle to feed Leah with.
“You’re not a bad person you know.”
“I know that but I just wanted Trey.”
“You was scared, it’s understandable.”
“I shouldn’t have been though; I should have just spoken to Trey.”
“I know but what can I do now? It’s all out in the open.”
“I understand how you just wanted to protect Trey from the truth but maybe you should have told him.”
I readjusted my grip on Leah who was slowly falling to sleep from the milk. Ash was just telling me what I knew but at the end of the day, I can’t do anything now.
“You know a long time ago, I did say to Trey that we should move further away. A proper new start not just away from the neighbourhood but out of the city.”
“Why don’t you do it then? There is nothing stopping you.”
“Ash, I can’t just move away now even if I wanted too.”
“Why not?”
“I have a child called Leah. She happens to be in my arms” I said with a full burst of sarcasm.
“I know that.” He stuck his short pink tongue out at me.
We both seemed to watch Leah as she now slept peacefully in my arms. I placed her down next to me on the sofa.
Ash got up from the sofa opposite me and grabbed the blanket from across the room. He then gave it to me to rest on top of Leah.
“I wish I could but if I was to leave, how would Trey see Leah? We have a child together which places a bond between us forever. In a duty to Leah we can’t just get up and walk away. We are her parents so we have to co-exist.”
“Then co-exist but don’t live here.”
“But I can’t do that. Why would I make Trey travel to see his child when he isn’t in the wrong? I have to stick it out.”
*Trey’s Point Of View*
As I returned to the flat where Khayla and I lived, I looked round for a final time before leaving my keys on the dining room table.
Before leaving, I decided to call my mum just to tell her what the plan was. It was dialling to no answer when it finally picked up.
“Mum…
“Welcome to the T-Mobile voicemail service..”
I hate when I get voicemail on people’s phones and I usually don’t leave a message but this was different. It was more important so I waited for the beep.
*beep*
“Mum, listen I’m leaving to go to be with Uncle for a little bit just because I need time to breathe. I can’t be myself around this neighbourhood right now. I will be back soon. Make sure you let Leah know I love her and I love you too. Trey”
After I recorded the message, I hung up and put my phone back in my bag. Before officially leaving the building, I decided to write Khayla a letter. I couldn’t speak to her. I wasn’t ready so she could read my words instead.
*Khayla’s Point Of View*
After having that talk with Ash, I knew what I would have to do. I would have to return home and hope that Trey would forgive me. That’s all I could do. I would have to plead my case of why he shouldn’t leave this fool of a woman and for the sake of Leah, why he should give us another chance.
I reached home at around 10pm with the assistance of Ash’s mother giving me a lift.
“TREY!”
“TREY!”
“TREY!”
I looked on the dining table and saw his keys there so I could only assume that he was here but just ignoring my shouts to him. I placed Leah (who was still asleep) in her crib and returned to the living room when I noticed a sign with: “KHAYLA!” on the front of our small TV.
I opened it up and it read:
Khayla, we have been through thick and thin but this is one thing I have to walk away from you for. I’m not leaving Leah; I just need time to think about what I will do because you kept something from me. I thought we were open to each other about anything. I thought we loved each other. I’ll be back soon. Until then, be as good a mother to Leah as ever.
A tear ran down the side of my face as I realised I pushed him away from me when all I wanted was for him to be close to me.
