Chapter 46:Creatures.

A month later:

Zundra's P.O.V:

It's been a month since I last talked or seen Austin. He's called me everyday and now I have to face him. The tour ends today and I wish it wasn't because I need more time to think. Joel keeps telling me that Austin and I should just kiss and makeup for the kids sake and for the sake of us. Morgan, well Morgan's been acting weird lately and it's getting on my nerves. Let me give you an example;

I'll say "Morgan can you maybe watch Robert this Friday? I need to go see Alicia." He'll give me a weird look then he'll hesitate, "Uhm, I don't know, maybe. I'm kind of busy." It's like he doesn't want to be around children, like he doesn't want responsibilities. For god sakes, that's exactly it. "JOEL!" I scream. "Yes?" I hear him call out. "Come here." I shout back.

A few minutes later Joel comes prancing into my room and lays on my bed. "I never asked you to come and lay on my bed Joel." I say in sarcasm. He laughs and rolls his eyes. "What do you want? I was enjoying my view of Morgan bending down to fix his shoes." I slap Joel and gasp. "Joel, nasty. But anyways, I just wanted to know if you've recently brought up the subject of having kids with Morgan?" Joel sits up and looks at me. "Yes, why?" I knew it! "He's been acting weird lately, well when I bring up Robert." Joel raises an eyebrow. "Maybe he's having second thoughts about kids?" he says to himself. I shrug and get up. "Well that's all." Joel laughs and gets up as well. "I'm having a friend over." I call out as I walk away.

I cleaned up a bit before Hope Purdy came over. "Hey Zundra!" I heard her call out from the front door. I run into the living room to see her standing there talking to Morgan. "Hey, sit down." I say as I sit down on the couch.

"So how's the baby and the fiancee?" Hope asks as she sits beside me. My heart literally sinks a thousand feet down. "Uhm, the baby is good." I fake a smile and try avoiding the Austin conversation. "Fiancee...?" she repeats. I sigh and run a hand through my hair. "We aren't together anymore." I mumble. She gasps and looks at me with regret. "Im so sorry." She pats my leg and studies my face. "We can talk about it, if you want?" I shake my head but I know I want to, I know I should. I haven't talked about him since the week I was first back from tour. Morgan and Joel never mentioned him for the sake of my emotions.

"He told Chris I cheated on him but that was back when we first started dating. Why would he do that!? I of course broke up with him. For god sakes I don't go around telling people he cheated on me with his own guy best friend or ex wife!" I quickly cover my mouth and my eyes go wide in realization. "Shit." I mumble. "No, it's alright Hun. I won't tell anybody. Continue on." Hope always knew how to make ways around certain things, that's why I seriously enjoyed talking to her.

"Anyways, so I left tour, maybe I shouldn't of. I screwed my band over, my fans and friends. I fucked up. But I didn't let my band sink, I called in a replacement." Hope nods and smiles. "Well see, you didn't screw them over, they got a great replacement. As for your friends, they'll see you today or sometime this week, right?" I nod in agreement. She knew who the replacement was, it was her ex Taylor. They broke up just a couple of weeks ago because of the fact that Taylor didn't want Hope at any of the tour dates. I personally think it's because she's afraid Hope will leave her for Tony Perry. I could totally see it happening. Hope has this huge crush on Tony, I could see them together.

"Do you miss him?" I'm totally unaware of what to say. I wasn't expecting her to ask me a question. I sit there and just let all my feelings and emotions sink in. Im still pissed off at Austin, I can't even believe he would do that. But at the same time, I love him so much, I will never stop loving him. "In all honesty, I do. I miss him more than ever. I wish things didn't turn out this way but he did it to himself." She studies me again, like she's trying to see if I'm lying at all.
