Perri and Her- the seventh book to series 'Perri and a Me' about Perri Kiely.

Chapter 3 Part 3

***hello guys

Sorry for this massive wait but I've been preparing to go back to school and realized I had a lot more work to do than I thought.

And I just needed a break as well because summer is nearly over and I need to kind of enjoy it while it lasts before school (hell) takes over.

Lol.

Anyway, thank you so much for the comments and the votes and all the support.

I'm so excited for UCAP and for the rest of this year and if you are going back to school soon, good luck and I think I need the good luck too.

I love you guys so much and I only write this because I think about you guys.

Song for this part was 'let 'em know' by coco jones.

Amber's POV:

Riding in the car on the way home with Reid sitting next to me is like the biggest relief ever.

Gina offered to drive us in her car as she said she didn't want to stress me out.

Kate also met us at the hospital and she's sitting next to Reid, holding Topaz.

I can't help thinking about what happened between Perri and I this morning.

Seeing him just made me so angry. After everything he's done to me.....why would he just show up here?

Why would I let him anywhere near Reid or Topaz?

It honestly makes no sense.

Reid is not asleep but leaning on my arm, just staring out of the car window in front.

I'm going to have to take very good care of him. I wouldn't know how to cope if he was gone- I just couldn't go through that feeling of loss again.

I put an arm around him as if to just reassure myself that he is still here.

Kate and Gina are having a conversation about Gina's boyfriend, Clement.

"Are you excited to come home?" I say, looking down at Reid, ignoring Kate and Gina.

"Not really." Reid replies.

"Why?" I smile. "You get to be around all your toys again and sleep in your own bed....I mean there's still a lot of medicine but I'll be there-"

"Where's Dad?" He asks, looking as if he might cry.

I sigh before pulling him unto my lap.

"Shh...." I whisper, wiping his tears. "Come on Reid, don't be a baby."

"He promised me he'd come home...." Reid says to me, still crying.

I look into his eyes, trying not to get upset as well.

"When?" I ask Reid. "When did he even say this to you?"

"Today." Reid replies.

"Well.....stop crying, please..." I whisper, not really knowing what to do at all.

"When is he coming home?" He asks me, refusing to stop.

Kate notices Reid is crying and passes me a tissue.

"Thanks..." I say to her.

"What's wrong with Reid?" Gina asks, looking at us through the mirror at the front of the car.

"Nothing..." I say to Gina, dismissing the situation.

"I miss him...." Reid whispers to me, wiping his tears with the back of his hand.
