Kyle's POV
"Kyle, there has to be a reasonable explanation. I know there's no way Imogen would just take off like that without talking to you," Margo says. Aiden sits on the floor distracted by his toys. Lucky him.
"I do not give a crap."
"It's been four days since you've talked to her."
"Margo! What is your problem?"
"Nothing, I just-"
"Can you do something for me? Can you go away? Is it possible for you to do that?" She's been bugging everyday since Imogen and I got into that little fight. I don't understand how Wyatt of all people deals with her.
"I'm just trying to help. I can't stand seeing Imogen the way she is."
How is she? I want to ask but I can't give in that easy. "Yeah, whatever."
"She's upset and you are just being ridiculous."
Finally Margo walks out of my apartment and leaves me to mope on my couch alone with Aiden.

Imogen's POV
"Imogen, honey," Margo whispers as she walks into my room.
"Yes?" I immediately get up and straighten out my clothes. I probably look a mess anyways but at least I tried.
"Do you want to go shopping? Or maybe go get something to eat?"
"Um, no thanks I'm fine."
"Sure?"
"I'm sure." I don't want to go anywhere right now. Kyle won't even let me talk to him and I guess I should be mad at him but his feelings are so fragile and I can't be mad at him for this. He really though I would just up and leave him and I need to tell him that I would never do that at least not without talking to him about it first.
The thing is I can't even enter his apartment without him leaving or kicking me out.
"Go over there," Margo demands with a stern voice. "I am not going to stand here and let this happen. Go over there and talk to him."
"But-"
"Let's go."
She grabs my arm and yanks me across the hall ignoring my loud protests. She opens the door to my apartment. Kyle's sitting on the couch with that woman... Amber. What is she doing here? Kyle's eyes are closed and he seems to be ignoring her.
"Amber, what are you doing here?" Margo asks.
"Hi, Margo," she says. "I just needed to speak with Kyle."
"Make her leave," Kyle groans.
"Good to see you again, Imogen," Amber says smiling at me. Kyle shoots up off the couch and starts to walk towards the door but Margo stands in his way. She gestures for me to close the door and I do.
"You are not leaving here until you hear Imogen out," Margo says.
"I'll just be on my way. Aiden, honey, let's go."
Aiden comes running from the kitchen with a handful of toys. "Aw, mom, can I stay? Please?"
Amber looks to Kyle and Kyle just nods. Amber gives Aiden a big hug and a kiss and she's out the door.
"Aiden, can you give Imogen and I a minute to talk? Margo will go play with you in her room, okay?" Kyle asks.
Aiden pouts a little. "I'll be super quiet I promise."
