I was cuddled up between Grandma and Grandpa. Ever since they arrived we've been playing non-stop. I was very surprised when they let me do what ever I wanted and they just went a long with it, it doesn't happen often with my other Grandma and Grandpa at home.

"Are you going to sleep with me or them baby?" Mommy asks as we head up to the bathroom to get ready for bed.

I thought for a second, I had only just met them, but I already loved them so much. I like you a lot if you let me do what I want and are nice to me.

"I want to sleep with them, can I?" I asked looking up at her and she smiles at me.

"Of course you can darling" She says, tucking my hair behind my ear.

After taking a bath and brushing my teeth, I ran into her room to call my Daddy, we decided that we would call every night before going to bed.

Daddy sounded very happy that I liked Grandma and Grandpa. I continued to tell him all about my day and also the gifts they had brought for me, board games!

"Come on Sagey" I hear Mommy yell from the other room.

After hanging up the call, I made my way to the guest room where they were staying and climbed in between them. Mommy stood beside the bed and reached over to give me a kiss on the cheek. I was nervous to not be sleeping with her, but I felt safe with them.

"Good night baby, remember I'm right down the hall" She tells me and I nod.

She turned off the lights before closing our door and I stared up at the ceiling in the dark room as Grandma rubbed my leg and Grandpa had his arm around me. I was very comfortable.

"Come on baby, let's go home" Daddy says as he helped load my bags into the car.

I was in tears, Taylor was begging me not to leave her, but after she scared me, I didn't like her anymore. I didn't want to call her "Mommy", I didn't want her to be my Mommy after that.

I was coloring in the living room when she was yelling through her phone in the kitchen. She was being so loud it scared me.

"I'll do anything, you can't leave me!" She yelled frustrated.

I dropped my crayons and cuddled up into the corner of the couch, watching her from a far. It seemed like she was talking to a boy from the beginning of their phone call. I didn't know who he was though.

"I promised you that I would let you meet her one day, just today isn't the day!" She yells again and I wonder if she would ever go back to normal at this point.

Tears started flowing down my face as I tried to keep my sobs as quiet as possible, not wanting to anger her anymore.

She looked over at me. Oh no. "Sage, can you go up to your room?" she asked pointing to the stairs and I nodded and ran up to my room.

I wanted my Daddy, I didn't want to be here anymore.

I grabbed my iPad off of the nightstand and searched for Daddy on FaceTime.

It rang, "Hey baby, hey what's with the tears?" he asks after seeing my face.

I sniffle, "I want to go home, please get me Daddy" I plead and he has a very concerned look on his face.

"What happened baby? Where's Taylor?" He asks frantically.

"She's downstairs, she's mad Daddy and she's yelling at someone on the phone" I tell him and he nods his head.
