(Katie's POV)

"Alright, bye." I smile hugging Cameron, he hugs me back and we both pull away, Madison hugs me and tells me bye before they walk out with locked hands.

"I had a great night." Hayes says coming in front of me, I roll my eyes and push him out of the door.

"Talk soon?" Matthew smiles when he gets in front of me, I nod and we hug before he leaves, I shut the door and walk into the kitchen.

"I can't believe they stayed over night." Kyle yawns pouring coffee into a mug, I nod and walk over to him.

"Want some?" He asks me, I nod and he gets another cup and pours some in it.

"You know how to make mine?" I ask him uneasily as he starts making mine.

"Of course, I'm your husband, not your friend." He says stirring up my coffee.

"What do you mean by that?" I ask him, he pushes my coffee cup in front of me and picks up his own.

"I'm just saying, I'm better than that Hayes guy." He shrugs, my mouth opens slightly at what he just said.

"Are you kidding me?" I ask him rhetorically, he looks at me and nods setting his coffee down.

"You seriously think you have to compete with him?" I ask him getting angry, he sighs and rubs his eyes.

"I don't want to talk about it." He shrugs walking towards the door.

"But we are, so talk about it!" I say raising my voice, he turns around rolling his eyes.

"I said I don't want to!" He shouts at me, making me jump a little.

"Now, if you'll excuse me." He says cooling down and walking out, I deep breathe and sit down at the counter, trying to figure things out.

"Mommy?" I hear snapping me from my thoughts, I look down at a tear stained cheek Halley, I frown and get up before picking her up.

"What's wrong baby?" I ask her wiping off the dry tears on her cheeks.

"You and daddy were fighting, then he slammed the door and left." She sniffles, I frown and put her down, she takes my hand and I walk out to the living room window and see Kyle speeding off down the road.

"Look sweetie, daddy is just mad about something, something only adults need to talk about, but don't worry once he gets back I'll talk to him and he won't be mad anymore." I fake smile.

"Okay?" I ask her, she nods and I smile picking her up and walking into the living room.

"Let's watch a movie, till daddy gets back." Halley says happily plopping down on the couch, I nod and go onto Netflix and into my profile.

"I want to watch a scary movie." She smiles up at me, I nod and click on a movie called 'Possessed', I cover her and I with a throw and she lays her head in my lap.

•one hour later•

I hear a knock on the door making me jump, I look at Halley who is passed out on the couch and I turn off the tv, I walk to the door and look through the peephole to see Madison and Hayes, I open the door with a confused look on my face, Madison engulfs me in a hug and Hayes puts his hand on my shoulder.

"What's going on?" I laugh, Madison pulls away and Hayes takes his hand off of me.

"Halley called me and I heard you and Kyle fighting in the background, she was crying and telling me to come over." She tells me with a sympathetic look.

"Well why are you here?" I ask looking at Hayes, he shrugs and looks at Madison.

"He was riding with me." She answers, I nod and invite them in.

"So where's everyone else?" I ask them, Madison turns around and laughs.

"Back in Chino." She answers, my jaw drops and Mason comes in the door.

"I can't believe you left me out there." He says with a mad expression and his arms crossed, Hayes laughs and picks him up walking into the living room where Halley starts talking.

"So where's Cameron?" I ask turning back to Madison, she puts her phone down and smiles.

"He went back to Chino too, but he had to get to work for a promotion he's trying to get." She smiles, I nod and she follows me as I walk in the living room and see Halley playing with Hayes while Mason grabs toys out of the chest we have.

"Halley looks just like Hayes, man." Madison sighs standing beside me, I study both of their faces and shrug.

"I don't see it." I lie, I do see it and that's the bad thing, when the doctor told me I lost my child, I knew I didn't, she is Hayes' kid, I wanted to leave so I wouldn't ruin his life with her, so I met Kyle, I told Kyle the whole story and he was there for me when I had her, I know I need to tell somebody, but they'll hate me when I do.

"So, Hayes? What you doing today?" I smile sitting beside him, he shrugs and Halley jumps off his lap and runs over to Mason.

"Talking to you now." He smiles down at me, I nod and Madison's phone starts ringing.

"This is Cameron, I'll be in the other room if you need me." She says answering the phone.

"Hi babe." She says happily, I smile and turn back to Hayes.

"I miss calling you babe." He sighs looking at Halley and Mason across the room.

"Halley, Mason. Me and Hayes are gonna go upstairs for a short minute, be careful." I direct to them, they look at each other and smile before nodding, I take Hayes' hand and stand up with him and drag him upstairs to my room, I make him sit on the bed and I walk into my closet.

"What are we doing?" Hayes asks me plainly, I laugh and grab the box hidden behind my clothes.

"We are looking through some old memories." I smile bringing the box into the room, Hayes face brightens up when he sees me, I walk over and sit beside him and begin to open the box, he puts his hand over mine stopping me.

"What's the point in this?" He asks me with a smile plastered across his face, I smile and shake my head.

"You'll see, nosey." I smile opening the box again, I drag out my bracelet and smile when I do.

"Put it on me." I demand him, he laughs at me and takes it before gently putting it on my wrist.

"What's this?" He asks picking up an old box, I laugh and take it from him.

"This is pictures of us." I smile pointing at the label on the bottom, he looks down at me and I look up at him.

"I miss us." I frown looking at his eyes to his lips and back and forth.

"Yeah me too." He sighs doing the same thing to me, I move in closer to him and him doing the same brings our lips together, I pull away and lean my forehead on his chin, smiling, I can also feel him smiling as he puts his arm around me, there is a small knock at the door, I pull away from Hayes and tell them to come in, while putting the box behind me.

"Hey, while you two are talking or whatever I'm gonna take the kids out, so yeah, bye." She smiles, we tell her bye and she shuts the door, we sit in silence not looking at each other for about two minutes until Hayes turns and says something.

"What are we doing?" He asks me, I look at him and stand up before facing him.

"Something I never thought we'd do again." I nod slightly, he smiles and pulls me on top of him.
