Gerald POV
"Mom you need to take a breaths."
I said to my mom, she called after she saw some photos of me and Devon entering a hotel. Saying "did gerald finally move on?"
"No gerald you'd promised me."
"Promised what?" I asked
"The ring gerald, are you kidding me? How can you be that stupid?"
She continued yelling at me for my choices.
"Mom I didn't do it cause I have my reason to." I said taking a deep breath. "And she's the one who found out I was cheating on her so there no point on getting her back."
"And your reason is?" She asked
I couldn't answer I didn't have one.
"Exactly you don't have one, your going to go back to your past self, gerald, do you really want that?"
She told me.
"Maybe its the best for the both of us mom."
"I'll call you later." She said and hunged up. I walked back to the living room seeing Devon watching TV and I sat down.
"How was it?" Devon asked
"Not good but its nothing to worry about because I have you." I said as I grabbed her hand and kissed it.

I decided to call Monica myself and get her story in this whole mess. I loved monica as if she was my own daughter. The phone rang a couple of times and she answered.
"Hello?" She said
"Monica its me Gerald's mom."
"How've you been ms."
"That's the question I wanted to ask you, I'm not sure if you saw the photos online or you found out yourself."
"Look gerald is a good person at the times but he's free to do anything he wants I'm not holding him back and his not holding me back." She said with a sigh.
"I'm not asking for that I'm asking for your side of the story."
It stayed silent for awhile and she answered me with a sigh.
"I woke up and went downstairs seeing that gerald had left me a note saying he was going to the studio that he won't be back until tomorrow, so after a few 30 min I watched some TV and went back up stairs to grab my glasses until I heard another phone ringing, I found the phone someone under the name devon was calling and I pressed the send a message button to text me better and she did and she responded with I can't wait to see you baby and I left." By the end of the point monica was crying.
"Monica darling I'm so sorr-."
"I'm not done yet." She sighed and took a deep breathe and continued.

"I packed my things and put them in my car. I walked back inside making sure I didn't leave anything and I wrote him a note that I'm sure he still has with him, once I got out of the driveway I got a text from gerald saying I had to leave because some guys are going to check the gas leak."
She said and I realized how pethetic my son can be at the times.

"I'm sorry monica I'm glad you were able to talk to me." I said
"Yeah I'm sorry to and as well to you."
"Take care monica."
"Bye." And we ended our phone call. I'm for sure gerald had left the note at his house why not check there. It was almost 10pm and I decided to do it soon.

Monica POV
I hunged up and I sat there letting the tears fall down my face, not realizing clay was there.
"Clay." I said wipping the tears as quickly as I could
"Monica I heard everything and its okay." He said walking closer to me and sat right next to me.
"Clay I know we just meet but where have you been my whole life?" I said while chuckling and smiling to him.
He but a arm around me and said..
"Where ever you are." Kissing the side of my head as I laid my hand above his knee and my head on his shoulder and we stayed like that for awhile until he looked at me.
"Let's do something." He said
"Like what?" I said getting up and to look at him better.
"A swim" he said as he pulled me out of my room.

Until my phone started to ring.
"Let me go get that." I said heading back upstairs.
"I'm coming with you." He said
I walked up there and grabbed my phone and it was gerald.
"Nope I'm not answering." I said looking at clay hoping he would just ignore it and go back Down stairs with me but he didn't.
"I'll answer it." He said grabbing my phone.
"Clay-"
"Hello?" He said then he but it on speaker.
"Who's this?" Gerald asked
"That's none of your business."
"Where monica?" He said with a angry tone.
"Sorry dude no monica here."
"And who the fuck are you with Monica's phone."
"The name is Clay kid." And clay hunged up on him
"Now where were we?" Clay said with smile on his face.
