Back Together ~ pt 2

❤︎︎ Twenty-Seven ❤︎︎

I calmed down the next day and we had been alright for about a week until Lando told me something I thought I would never hear in my life.

"Lexi, we need to talk..." he said with his voice cracking

"What did you do?" I said

"You're going to the mental hospital..."

"What??!!" I said with rage flooding through my body.

"I put in the request a week ago... you need professional help..."

"Are you fucking kidding me???!!!!! For fucks sake why would you go and do something like that??!!!!"

"Because I love you, Lexi. Because I don't want to lose you. Because I need you to get better"

"but now I'm gonna be trapped in a fucking mental hospital for fucks knows how long!!!! you're gonna have to sleep alone!!!! you're gonna have to make your own food and you can't even be trusted near the oven!!!! how the fuck are you even going to feed Liliana when she refuses to take formula????"

"I know it's hard, Lex..." he said as he tried to touch my shoulder but I smacked his hand away

"Don't you dare fucking touch me"

"But I promise I'm not going to abandon you. I'll visit every day, and we'll make plans for when you're better"

"you had no fucking right to put me in a mental hospital. especially without telling me!!!!!"

"I know, Lex... I'm sorry. I should have told you earlier. But I was afraid if I did, you'd try to run away or something"

"you're such a fucking dick!!!"

"I know it seems like I messed up. But please believe me when I say that I only want what's best for you. And right now, this is it"

"just fucking forget it. don't even bother showing up for the next few days unless you're getting milk for Liliana. I don't want to talk to you" I said. I packed up my stuff and he took me to the mental hospital. It would either be that or I would be dragged there. Liliana looked so confused. I held her in my arms and held back my tears. "I'm so sorry, baby girl... I promise I'll get daddy to bring you to see me every single day... I know you're not gonna understand right now and probably cry every night without me because of your separation anxiety problems but daddy is gonna look after you... I love you, baby girl... I love you so much..."

"I'll take care of Liliana while you're gone" he said. I nodded and took off my engagement ring. I knew they wouldn't let me have it in there. I gave him back Liliana and then put the ring in his jacket pocket and zipped it so it wouldn't fall out.

"they won't let me have it in here because I could hurt myself with it. keep it safe until I come home... and please don't drop it like you did the 2 times you did when you proposed to me"

"I won't... I promise..."

"I still hate you so much right now but I still love you..."

"I understand, Lexi. I'll give you the space you need"

"just please bring our little girl every day..."

"I promise, Lexi. Every day"

"I love you, Lando..." I said.

"I love you too, Alexa..." he said. We both had tears filling our eyes but we refused to let them fall. He gave me a little peck on my lips and he left with Liliana.

Four days in and I had already gotten extra time in there because somehow I broke a part of the window and cut myself with it. Lando was pissed.

"Fuck, Lexi!!! This is bullshit!!!"

"this is your fault!!!! if you never put me in here then I never would have had an extension on being here!!!!!"

"Lexi, that's not fair. You were already going to be here for a while. This isn't my fault"

"this is your fault. You got me into this mess"

"How is this my fault? I didn't make you cut yourself" he said. This fucking bastard.

"you put me in here, you cunt!!!!! none of this would have happened if you didn't put me in here!!!!!"

"Don't ever talk to me like that again. You need help, Lexi, and I'm trying to give it to you"

"I didn't need fucking help!!!! I needed you to not fucking give up on me!!!!"

"I never gave up on you. I was trying to save your life"

"Bullshit!!!"

"Fine, you want the truth? I fucked up. But I couldn't just watch you basically killing yourself everyday!!!"

"just fucking forget it. You can come here to get milk for Liliana and let me spend some time with her and then you go. I don't wanna fucking speak to you right now"

"Fine"
