*Roses POV* 

My mom pushed me on the swing. Higher and higher I went. I giggled and laughed holding on for dear life. 

"Hold on a second baby mommy has to take this call." She kissed my forehead once the swing had stopped.

"Um, yeah I'll let her know."  My mom hung up the phone and looked down at me.

"Baby." Her voice cracked and she shed a few tears.

"Mommy?" My small voice shocked me.

"Baby Daddy's gone." 

"Gone?"

"He-uh-he found a new family that needs him. He's going to be a great dad there alright. We are fine without him." She kissed my cheek and we headed home.

The tears had poured down my face as I saw him leave that night. 

I felt tears pouring out now and I bit my lip knowing I shouldn't cry.

"WHERE'S THE DAMN MONEY!" Dad shouted in my face. 

He held my wrists up above my head pinning me to the wall. I knew he had been out boozing and getting high with his "friends" before coming over. 

"How-how did you find us?" My voice came out raspy and I instantly regretted it.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY WHORE?" His grip tightened.

"I just said, how do you want it today?" A fake cheeky smile crept on my lips. 

"I already have someone else for that. I don't need you today." He spat in my face. "I just need the money." He grinned evily and I turned my head.

"We need some time, ok?" I shuddered when his breathe was hot on my neck. It sent unwanted shivers down my back. 

"Yeah whatever. Your mother still slutting around. I can tell by the baby. How long ago was THAT born?" He let go of me walking over to Christian.

"Mom stopped for us. It was all because of you anyways. Can you just leave? We'll get the money to you alright!" I shouted back. I had never shouted back before. 

His eyes blazed a bright burning red and he stormed out of the house making sure to slam the door extra hard. 

Not only did that rattle the house but it rattled me. My knees buckled and I fell on the floor. I lay there crying as I heard footsteps run in. 

My head was lifted slightly as it was placed in my lap. That's when I realized that the guy I adored. The guy that had literally saved me. The guy that I idolized... had just seen everything that was tearing my life apart. 

The sobs came out harder and my body just shook. The baby started wailing and I didn't move. I was so numb. 

"baby if you say you’ll want me to stay, stay for the night"

"I don't think that singing is going to help but I don't think you can stay the night either." I wiped off my tears and stood up. "Shh baby, it's ok." I comforted Christian. "Can you?" I held Chris out towards Niall. He just nodded his head and took him.

"So what was that about?"

"Can we not talk about it?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Yeah, yeah. What are you doing?" Niall questioned as I removed another box and started throwing stuff in it.

"It's what we do everytime. My dad somehow finds us. Gets boozed up and high. Comes here when I'm alone. Wants some money my mom "owes" him. "Checks up" on me and the new baby. Then leaves and we move. Nothing new." I sighed pushing some hair back.
