I know this one's shorter and I haven't uploaded in a while but my Wattpad was messing up :(

It was freezing and wouldn't let me upload, but here y'all go (:

+++++ River's POV +++++

"They weren't cuddling or anything." Ramona argued with me.

"They were in the same bed together!!" I yelled.

" River it's not like they were having sex or something. You told her to be nice to him and show him around. She was just being nice to him. And besides he saved her life!! She got hypothermia from being in the water. And like a man, he carried her home and curled up with her to keep her warm." Ramona argued.

"Ramona, the point is that i'm leaving for business without any of you tomorrow night and wont be back for a few days. If you think it's okay for them to do that, then I don't feel comfortable with leaving you home with them." I argued back.

"So what? I'm a bad mom now? I can't control my own children?" She yelled in my face.

"I didn't say that." I yelled. 

"But that's what you meant! You don't feel comfortable leaving me alone with Isis with Brantley around? Well guess what River? Just fucking go. Leave tonight because Isis is MY daughter and I will not let you treat me or her the way you have been." She snapped.

She was shaking with anger for me and had her hands set down on her hips. She didn't show any sign of weakness as she glared at me, waiting for me to give up. I should just give up, I always gave her what she wanted in the end anyways. 

"I'll leave when I feel like leaving Ramona." I snapped back.

"Then we'll leave. Maybe you leaving for a few days isn't such a bad idea. You obviously need some time to think." She growled.

I watched her walk over and grab a bag, putting some of her clothes in it. I instantly felt bad. I didn't like it when she was mad at me and I knew she was serious about leaving. It would be too much work for her to take the kids with her and go somewhere for the night. I sighed as I walked over to her.

"Look, you don't have to go." I frowned.

"No, I do." She said confidently. 

"Ramona please." I begged.

She turned on her heal to face me and look into my face. I could tell that she was still angry by the way she was shaking and had her teeth gripped down. Her fists were balled and she was looking at me like she wanted to kill me.

"I do." She repeated herself.

"You can stay. I'll go." I volenteared. 

"River-" She began.

"Please." I pleaded.
