BECKY POV

"Freen and I are not together at all okay, we've separated and I've gone my own way and so has she, now leave me alone" I sigh as I rant to my mother.

"Well your father has gone to get your brothers out of jail and you can explain that to him, I'm glad your understanding that we are just trying to protect you Becky" my mom states as she tries to hug me but I move back. She looks at me with surprise.

"Protect me or the family name? Let me tell you one thing, If my child came to me and told me mom I'm gay or mom I'm not happy with my gender I'd sit there with my child and I'll fucking give my child the right support he or she fucking needs because there's not one day that I would ever want my child to feel like they don't have an ounce of love or support from their mom, the person who's supposed to be their main support system" i stand as I shake with tears as her eyes widen with shock and water with tears

"And you know what mom, all I did was fall in love with someone and their daughter but you made her look like she was a disease, she's been the best thing that's ever happened to me and you destroyed that because of your family name, I hope when you struggle to sleep tonight in bed and you realise that your daughter is at home crying herself to sleep because you didn't let her be happy" I pick up my bags and walk off and she stands there shocked, no words come out of her mouth as I walk towards the door.

"AND MAKE SURE YOU TELL DAD AND YOUR SONS THAT WE ARENT TOGETHER, ILL SUE YOU GUYS IF YOUR SONS FOLLOW ME AGAIN" I scream as I slam their house door and get into my car, I drive to god knows where as I stop my car and park around the corner and just sob.

I'm supposed to go out with Riley tomorrow.

FREEN POV

Freen: I'm not able to collect Riley tomorrow, you guys will have to go to Irin's house

Lingling: okay I'll call Irin, you okay buddy?

Freen: yeah just got work

Lingling: I heard about what happened to you and Becky, wanna talk about it?

Freen: It's okay, will speak later got some work to do x

Instead I run to the local corner shop and I buy myself bottles of alcohol, I then go to my house and just drink straight from the bottle as I sit on the kitchen floor, my back is against the kitchen counter and I sit there as I think about her continuously.

Drinking? Me?

I never drink but I feel completely shattered, I feel like curling into a ball and hiding, am I that bad of a person?

My heart feels restless without her, I had the courage to tell Becky I love her, I want to run to her and just hide with her, why does the world have to get in between my happiness, I've never wanted something so much.

The divorce papers will be arranged this Friday so I'm completely alone, in this house, if I didn't have Riley I would of left and did hard labour in my home town. I'm as useless as I gets but my daughter is here and I need to fight for her and work my ass off for her, I want her to take pride in me, the way Becky does.

I don't realise I do but I fall asleep on my kitchen floor, it's morning by the time I've woken up.

Lingling: open ur door

I hear lingling banging down my door and I run and open the door and she walks in.

"Did you just wake up? it's 2 in the afternoon" Lingling shouts at me as she walks in.

"I i I don't I don't know what I" I say as I rub my head but she holds my wrist and pushes me to the couch.

"I know it's hard but don't fucking torture yourself, you'd be upset if Becky was doing that so don't do that yourself okay" Lingling passes painkillers to me and some water.

"She sent you here didn't she" my eyes water and before I know it I cover my face in my hands as I try to calm myself down.

"I was going to come anyways Freen, your important to me bro, don't for a second think you have no one here for you" Lingling then goes into my kitchen and prepares me some breakfast.

I know Becky sent her because she was worried but the gesture is adorable and I'm so grateful.

"Did you guys take Riley out?" I ask her as I try wiping my face and walking to the kitchen and sitting on the chair.

"Yes we did, we took her to a trampoline park, it was so funny" Lingling chuckles

"Did you take any pictures?" I ask her

She freezes and looks at me as if looking at Becky's pictures are gonna kill me, I admit it's hard but I want to see them, I know my daughter loves her.

"You can show me Becky's pictures it's okay" I chuckle but it's fake

"Swipe left" she hands me her phone and I go through the gallery and when I come across a picture of Riley cuddling Becky so tight my heart breaks, Riley doesn't hug just anyone like that, Becky looks like she should be her mom and not Irin, it kills me to say that but it's true.

Nothing has ever looked so pure or full of love like that picture of them in the trampoline park with their hair messy, they look like they had so much fun even if Becky's hurting she always puts other people first and that's what I love about her. She's always been so caring.

"Send that to me" i say to lingling as I stare at the picture in awe

"Okay, by the way Orm and Becky are still with Riley, they went to give her a haircut since Irin said she didn't have time she told Orm to take Riley and she gave them money for it so" Lingling adds and I nod as I begin eating the food she's making, I received the photo of Riley and Becky on my phone and made it my wallpaper as I can't get my eyes off it.

My girls.
