Another You {Kellic & Cashby}

Chapter 12

Austin's POV

Monday rolled around and to say I was nervous was an understatement. I was a wreck. I missed Alan and I missed the kids too. I wanted them all back in my life and I don't know how much longer I could go without seeing them all.

Three days was a long time to be away from them. I needed my family back.

I missed them all so much.

I sighed and held Alan's wedding ring in my palm tightly. I was so stupid for hurting him and he deserved everything. If he wanted a divorce he got it. I just wanted Alan to be happy and if I didn't make him happy anymore then I'd just go. With the hopes that I could see my kids at least. I just didn't want some big, dirty divorce.

If we had one, I wanted it to be civil and fair. I didn't want to end it with us hating each other. It was probably too late for that though, Alan probably hated me. I hated me.

I fucked up completely.

I got up from the bed at this motel I was in. It was all I could afford on my own right now. I got dressed and slipped his wedding ring in my pocket before I left.

Hopefully we'd be able to fix this and he wouldn't want to to get divorced.

I didn't want to put the kids through all this. I didn't want them to have separate holidays. None of them deserved that. I just wanted to be a family again.

I went out to my car and got in driving back to the house. I clenched the steering wheel tight, I was terrified. I wanted this to go well and I just wanted Alan to be happy. And our kids.

When I pulled up in front of the house, I just sat there staring. Kellin and Vic's car was still there.

Just as I got out of the car, the front door of the house swung open and Vic came stomping out of the house, anger painted on his face as he marched up to me.

"Look before y-" I didn't even get to finish before he punched me straight in the face.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!?" He shouted.

"I know, I know!"

"How could you ever fucking do that to him? After everything you've put him through, you're going to do this to him too! How many fucking times do you want to hurt him?"

"I know and I'm sorry! I don't want to hurt him anymore!"

"Then why would you do this to him!?"

"I was an idiot!"

"I know you were."

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry doesn't take the hurt away does it?" He said bitterly.

"No it doesn't." I said quietly, "I need to talk to him."

"Yes you do."

"Are you done yelling at me?"

"I'm tempted to punch you again."

"I deserve it." I said quietly.

Vic said nothing more to and I finally walked inside. I stood awkward since the house was abnormally quiet.

"Alan!?" I called.

That's when I heard the screaming and two of the kids came running downstairs. I bit my lip and hugged two of the three.

Josh came down the stairs frowning at me.

"Hey buddy."

"You're mean." He said standing far away. "You're just a bully and you don't deserve Mama."
