ADDISON:
The kids are dressed and I've packed some stuff for us, Mason and his girlfriend have gone to his room. "Babe, don't you think this is a bit too much?" Dec says to me, I raise my eyebrow and say "she spent the morning slagging off your wife and kids, and he's okay with that." I say and he looks at me and says "I know I'm sorry baby. I'm on your side, I've got to go training baby, will you be okay?" I nod and say "yeah, I'll be okay" he kisses me and says "just tell me where you are and I'll come to you when trainings finished. Jack is off for the week, see if we can stay with him until I sort us somewhere out" I smile and say goodbye, I call Jack.
Jack💙
J-Morning Ads is everything okay?
A-Yeah, well no, I have a really big favour to ask and don't feel obliged to say yes.
J-Anything Ads
A-Can Dec, me and the kids stay with you for a few days. Until me and Dec sort a place out?
J- Yeah of course, but why?
A-I'll explain when I see you is it okay to bring the kids now?
J-Yeah course, i was gonna make pancakes you and Ted want some?
A-Sounds good. Thanks Jack, Love you
J-love you too little sis

I hang up and Jacks sister comment makes me smile, he is like a brother to me. I unlock the car and put the cases and some toys for the kids in. I make sure I've got everything I need for Evelyn. Then I see Mason at the top of the stairs with a smug girl next to him. "Are you going to say goodbye to the kids?" I say bluntly and he looks shocked "are you actually leaving?" I nod "we're going to stay with Jack for a few days until Dec and I sort something more permanent out. I don't want it to be like this Mason but I can't let someone talk about me or my kids like that. If she wants you all to herself then well done she's gone and done it, but you've lost me and the kids" he looks at the floor, the girl goes to speak and says "Shame you lied, I'm sure we could've been friends." I glare at her "I don't lie, if I wanted you out because I didn't like you I would've just said, but.. actually I don't care. You got what you wanted. Ted baby, say goodbye to your uncle Mason, we won't see him for a while" Mason bends down and hugs Teddy, tears falling down his cheeks. He kisses and cuddles Evelyn. As I walk out he says "I love you Addison, please don't shut me out forever" I take a deep breath and say "I love you too, I always will but right now I can't be near you" I shut the door.
As I drive away the tears fall. I get to Jacks house, he's got Teddy's favourite show on so after a quick hug Teddy runs to watch it. I walk in with Evelyn in my arms, Jack opens his arms for a hug and I break down in his arms.
Once I've stopped crying, Jack makes pancakes and I make some tea. "Thank you Jack honestly" I say to him and he giggles "don't be silly, it'll be cool having you stay for a while, I've not got games until January now, plus It gives me an Xbox partner, but can I ask what happened?" I explain what happened from how she came down moaning as Evelyn cried, then to all she said about me and the kids. Jack is shocked and says he completely understands. Honestly, I've been through so much shit that I can't let people talk like that anymore.
I decide to text Dec to let him know Im at Jacks.
Husband❤️
Hey babe, just to let you
know, me and the kids are
at Jacks house. He said it's
fine to stay for a while, I have
told him it's only temporary. Xxx

That's nice of him babe. I'll be
finished in about 2 hours
are you okay? Xxx

It hurts a lot baby, I never
thought I'd lose him like
this but I just couldn't stay.
I'm sorry if it makes it
awkward for you xxx

Don't apologise, I would've done
the same if I heard her say it.
I'm not having someone talk
about my wife and kids
that way xxx

Later that day, Dec arrives back and as today was the last training session until January for him, we all decide to order takeaway. Delivery is taking a while, so I say I'll collect it, then I realise I've left Evelyn's new bottle of reflux medicine at home, I tell the boys I'll grab the medicine before the food. Dec offers to go but I insist it's something I've got to do.

I pull up on Masons drive, I still have my key so I use that, as I walk through the door. He shouts "Addison you came back?" I look at him and shake my head "no I'm not back, I've come to get Evelyn's unopened bottle of medicine" I walk to the kitchen and see her, "thought you had left" she says and I laugh "oh hunny, I've gone, you won. I'm not coming back" I walk out with the medicine and she follows me and says "give it a few days he'd have moved on and forgot about you, you're the lying sister remember, and anyway don't you have a record for leaving he's probably used to it" I slap her across the face, Mason walks in and she runs to him crying. "What the fuck Ads?" He says and I go to reply and explain and he says "do you know what just go, I don't know what's up with you. What is it jealousy? Maybe it's better you don't live here, don't think I want to see you right now" as he says that my heart breaks and she smiles smugly, I run to the car crying and pull away from the drive.
As I'm driving, I'm still sobbing and I don't see the car that's skipped the traffic lights and smashes into the side of my car, all I feel if the car spin and my body hit the steering wheel and side of the car, soon everything goes black...
