'Dear Miss McKenna Way,

We would like to inform you that on August 1st 2038 there will be a court hearing about the custody of Elijah Isaac Way. On July 29th 2038 there will be a home check requested by Mr Ian Stone.-'

Is all I could read before slamming the paper on the table and screaming in frustration. Is he serious?! But why would they do that if- wait. I looked at the paper again and gasped. Needs at least one stable parent. Stable home. Three meals a day. He gets all of that and more. Probably to much for a two year old.

"I'm ho- Kenna what's wrong?" Alex asked walking in and I put my head on the table handing him the letter. "Bullshit!" He yelled and I nodded.

"I know. But be quiet he's napping." I said and stood up going to the living room. Three days until the socail worker comes and a week to get a lawyer. Fuck.

Everything was set and good. Today the social worker came by and did what they needed to do. It was 8:30 and I was dressed and ready for the day while I paced the room with Elijah sleeping in my arms. He held onto my shirt and I looked down at him smiling. Thank God he looked nothing like that asshole.

"Babe what are you doing?" Alex asked in his raspy, and sexy, morning voice.

"Nothing." I said and he sighed standing in front of me.

"What's wrong?" He asked and I sighed. "Tell me, please?"

"Today, Tuesday, everything." I said and sat on the couch.

"It'll be okay." Alex whispered hugging my shoulder. I sighed and Elijah started to whine.

"I hope."

I thought, hey I wanna write a song! That's not happening. I sat in the small office we had and tapped my pen on the desk thinking. We had an album out and were going on tour soon, but we still didn't know when. I was broken out of my thoughts by the doorbell. I stood up closing my notebook and walking to the door.

"Hello, are you McKenna Way?" Someone asked and I nodded.

"Yes." I said and she nodded writing something down. She asked a few more questions and looked up smiling lightly at me.

"May I come it?" She asked and I nodded moving letting her enter. "Who else lives with you, Miss Way?"

"My boyfriend, Alex." I said and she nodded. I showed he around and she kept writing on her clipboard.

"That's all I need. Thank you." She said and I nodded letting her out. I closed the door and sighed.

"I have to go to my mum and dad's house. I promised I'd... Clean Kellin's room." I said grabbing my keys.

"Jack Rian and Zack are coming over and were stealing Elijah. So I love you, bye." He said kissing me.

"I love you too. Be good!" I yelled walking out of the apartment. I drove to my parents house and was soon sitting in my brothers room where I found him. This was hard. I was just cleaning useless junk out and keeping the rest as it was. I couldn't clean it all so I went over to the closet and opened the door. I took a deep breath and went to get something. I picked up a small box that caught my eye and opened it gasping. There were notes... The notes we've been looking for over two years. His suicide notes. That bastard hid them.

"MUM! DAD!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I heard footsteps and the door opened.

"What's wrong love?" Mum asked and I showed her the box. "Oh my fuck..."

Surprise...
