How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 72

*Jeff*

I walked out to the lobby after I dropped my stuff off. I had to leave the arena quickly before Avril and Alexis told a few of Morgan's friends what had happened and they come after me. As I walked down I saw Coby and Zack walk in. I didn't know how far explaning was going to get me, but dammit, I was gonna try!

"Guys," I said making my way over to them. They tried to get away from me, but I stopped them by putting an arm on Zack's shoulder. "Listen, my intentions for Morgan were good."

"No," Zack said, looking up at me. He jerked away from me and looked me dead in the eye. "They weren't."

"Well," I said. "I thought they were good. I was just trying to help her. You cant honestly tell me that Morgan likes being crazy like this."

"So you're telling me," Zack said getting closer to my face, his breath hot like that of a dragon's. "You're telling me that it was okay to not only call the crazy police on someone without consulting them first, but to have them take her away from HER OWN DAUGHTERS!? How would you feel if someone did that to Beth and took her away from Ruby? Huh?"

"Hey don't bring my daughter into this. And Beth didn't smash glass and slit her wrist, not to mention giggled like a crazy person!"

I saw a flash of anger in Zack's eyes. I looked behind him at Coby and I guessed he really wasn't the confrontational type. Hell, he wasn't even saying anything.

"Oh," Zack said, and I returned my attention to him. "But its okay for you to all this shit to Avril and Alexis?! I thought you considered them your daughters too! And the whole issue with Morgan, you just add onto her pain! Not only that, but I think Avril is starting to go through depression because she's always worrying about her mother! Do you have any idea how many times I've gotten up in the middle of the night and had to comfort her because shed wake up crying over Morgan? She loves her dearly, and I'm sure Alexis does too. nd then that shit you pulled by sending her off like that has most likely even worse on Avril and Alexis! Avril wouldn't even speak to me at all after it happened!"

"Zack, I didn't want to do this. And yes I screwed up SO many times. All I was trying to do was help my wife!" I yelled. By now, a small group had formed around us. Why does that always happen? Don't these people have lives?

"By taking her from her daughters. Yes Jeff, perfect idea!" Zack said sarcastically.

"It wasn't a good thing to do..." Coby said. Bless his heart he was so shy to talk around me. However, I ignored his comment.

"I wasn't trying to take her from our daughters. I was trying to help her! Would Ethan do that?" Well? Would he? Zack rolled his eyes at me.

"Well ya did! And this isn't about Ethan! Its about you! So shut the hell up about him!"

"Yea," I nodded. "You're right. This is about me and Morgan." I looked back at Zack. "So why don't you two stay out of it." I was mad at this point, you could tell because my voice got lower and deeper.

"Hey we didn't ask to be apart of it," he shouted defensively in my face.

"And if you mess with Avril and Alexis, well, you mess with us too!" I heard Coby say shyly. Something about what Coby just said had set me off. I didn't know what it was, but it really didn't stop me from punching Zack in the face. Zack responded by popping me back in the face. We then got into a huge fight. Don't mess with me, bitch, don't mess with me.

I don't remember much of the fight. All's I remember was that someone had tried to break us up, and I wouldn't have it! I punched him straight in the face and he went down. I went to take another swing, but someone had grabbed my hand. A big gloved hand. I looked at it in confusion as I was face to face with Mark Calaway. Shit.
