Lay's POV
I awoke to be surronded by the darkness of my room. I looked around to see i was i nmy bed and no longer in my closet. I guess Landon moved us here. I looked down at him peacfully asleep beside me. Wishing I could sleep peacefully. Everytime I drifted off to sleep I had a nightmare about the accident and that night. I picked my phone up and saw the time read 5:30 am. I scrolled threw my contacts dialing the one number I thought I would never dial again. I hit call and the phone began to ring, they answered on the 3rd ring.
??: Hello??
"Hey. Did I wake you??"
??: The fuck do you want Alex??
"Can I come over and talk??"
??: Fine. Hurry up.
"Alright. Let me shower and put some clothes on."
??: I still live in the same place.
He hung up the phone and I got up and walked into my bathroom. I stripped out of my clothes and got in the shower. I did my hygeine routine and got out. I wrapped the towel around torso. I let the thoughts of how my daughter would look and what she would sound like fill my head. I brushed my hair into a bun and walked to my closet. I put on my bra and underwear and kept my clothes simple. I walked out of my closet to see Landon still asleep. I grapped my phone, jacket, and car keys. I walked over to my jewelry box and pulle dout my favorite ring. I had a huge blue sapphire in the middle for the month Izzy was born. On the inside engraved was September 5th. Her Birthday. I slipped downstairs and put my jordans on. I was very careful to not wake anyone. I got out the house and locked the door. I walked over to my Jeep and got in.
It didn't take me long to get to the familar neighborhood. I drove down the winding roads and pulled up to the very familiar house. I saw him sitting outside with his homeboys Vinny,Saeed, and Rg. The memories flooded my head. I slipped on my jacket to protect me from the cool air that layed over Cali. I reached in my pocket and grabbed my phone, the time read 6:45. I opened my door and the 4 boys turned their attention to me.
Saeed: Well damn. Look who is here.
"Hey Guys. Long time no talk."
Rg: Yea, its been almost 2 years.
Vinny: Damn girl you look good.
"Can you guys leave me and Ace to talk alone??"
Rg: Sure. Lets roll out. Catch you later Ace.
Ace: Aight.
We both watched the guys walk off from us. And then I realized there I stood infront of him. All alone. he looked up at me. Disguist filled his eyes.
Ace: What did you want to talk about?
"That night. Seeing you yesterday. I cried myself to sleep lastnight. I cried this morning and everytime her birthday comes around, or the day of the accident, or the day she died. I never forgot her Ace. Our daughter still holds a very special place in my heart."
Ace: Half the shit I said last night I regret. I have something to tell you. You may hate me after I tell you this but I can't continue hating you for no reason. Izzy------
He was cut off when we both heard someone crawling to the open door. In the door way sat a little caramel colored girl with wild black curly hair.
Littlegirl: Dada?? She directed her attention to me: Mama?? She said as she pointed to me.
Ace waved his hand for her to come over. He placed her on his lap and kissed her forehead.
Ace: The night Izzy "died" after the nurses took her from you and you stormed out she started breathing again. My number was on file so they called me up to the hospital. They asked to call you and I said no. I figured since she was going to live with me anyways you didn't deserve to know that she lived.
