AJ's POV:

"I'm coming, I'm coming! Excuse me for being stuck in traffic while we're under a tornado warning! Look you guys, I'm on my way I swear." I hung up the phone. Dean blew my phone up and I'd just gotten around to calling him back. Jesus, a girl's late and their imaginations run wild.

I was on my way home with food for the party and I was already running late. I'm pretty sure everyone was worried sick but I had to be sure that we had enough chips otherwise they'll be chaos. Boys are serious when it comes to chips and I wanted to be absolutely sure I got the right ones.

But the chips and the tornado warning weren't the only reasons I was late. You see, I was on my way to the hotel when I'd realized the gas light in my car was flashing. Tomorrow was going to be a very busy day with traveling onto the next city plus I believe Dean and I have an autograph signing just as soon as we got there. We'd have no time to get gas.

As I pulled over at the gas station, I paid no attention to the black truck on the side of where I decided to park. I'd noticed it when I was standing there pumping the gas. As I hummed, I watched as some guy in a dark hoodie quickly got out of it and went under the hood of his truck. He popped it open and started coughing waving the smoke around out of his face. I heard the familiar voice say, "Well fuck. That's just fucking great."

"Phil?" I asked.

His head popped up from under the hood, "April?"

I laughed, "The one and only. What are you doing out this late?"

"A late night ice cream run gone wrong," He replied chuckling.

"But you're a vegetarian."

"Oh it isn't for me. It's for her." Phil nodded toward inside the vehicle and I turned and looked. A tiny raven haired little girl, who was like Paige's clone, was asleep in the front seat of the truck.

I smiled, "Well Punk, I know you like younger women but I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Have you asked her father's permission? With you taking her on late night ice cream dates and shit."

"Ha. Ha. Very funny. Actually, I asked her mother and she's a little too young for me don't you think? Besides, this is more like a stepdad type thing."

"Ah yes," I smiled. "Cm Punk is a dad now."

"Hey, hey. Stepdad. And I don't know it comes with the territory of dating Paige. They're a package deal and I just really enjoy her company. But I'm afraid this enjoyable day will have a sucky end because I can't seem to get this fucking truck to work. Ugh. I tell Paige all the time to get this damn thing fixed but noooo. Stubborn brits, I swear."

I chuckled, "Grab Sierra, I'm taking you both home."

"What? No I couldn't ask you to-"

"There's a child involved, Phillip. Get in. Now."

The car ride with Punk was a lot more entertaining than it would sound. We sang along to different songs that came on the radio and it honestly felt like old times. Before everything got so crazy. Before when it was just us two and there wasn't someone vying for my attention 24/7. Before the cheating and the heartbreak and the tears. When life was just my Punky and I. I can't lie. I miss those days.

Sometimes, I wish I could-

"AJ WATCH OUT!"

"Wh-" I clutched the steering wheel when I saw bright headlights in front of me, swerving quickly.

Everything went in slow motion like they do in the movies. I don't remember much but, I remember counting how many times the car flipped around and around. Six.

That's the only thing I remember. That's the last thing I remember...
----------------------------------------------
So, this is the end of the sequel.

Short, sweet, and to the point.

I kinda lost my inspiration with this story to be honest.

I hope it was okay.

But have no fear, a third part will be here. Just not anytime soon so don't hold your breath.

I didn't want to make this one as long as the first part because I felt like that one dragged out too long.

Good twist though, am I right?

Anyways, comment ideas for the third part if you'd like and vote, vote, vote!

Oh and of course the accident will be addressed in the third part so.

Bye for now guys! Thanks for the support with this story! ❤️
