Blake's pov

I started taking my medicine again yesterday. I still feel like I'm something I'm not. I hate having to take pills for something I can't control. I was born this way because of my mom. Her and her fcked up self. This is her fault. I have no idea where she is right now and I'm glad. This is bringing back old memories.

Flashback Blake's pov

"This your fault. You're the reason this family didn't work out. You're the reason you're father left and took your brother with him it's your fcking fault." My mother shouted at me drunk.

Tears flooded my eyes and began pouring down my face.

"Suck it up. Don't be a big baby. Since you're the fcking cause of this you get your a++ up to your room." She screamed.

"NO!" I shouted. She got even more pissed and raised her hand up and slapped me across the face. She slapped me 4 times. Once on the face twice on the stomach and then again on my face. Now the tears are coming down fast. They won't stop.

"Stop fcking crying!" She screamed at me. I ran upstairs to my room and slammed my door locking it behind me. I went into my bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My face was heavily bruised. Black and blue and purple. The tears still came and I took out my phone taking pictures of my cheeks as evidence just in case it does happen again.

Flashback over

You see my mom had really bad anger issues. That's where I get them. My mom. I haven't seen her since I was 17. I'm 26 now. It's been almost 10 years. The last time I went back not the time she gave me a black eye again but the time after that I took her to court and she was put in jail. And she's still there today.

"Babe are you okay?" Bella asked me snapping me out of my trance.

"Yeah I'm fine just thinking. Hand me Cayley I'll feed her. I know you have a hard time feeding both Campbell and Cayley at the same time." I told her. She quickly agreed setting Campbell down on the diaper changing bed and picked Cayley up from the crib. She handed me Cayley then changed Campbell's diaper.

"Hi Cayley." I whispered holding the bottle in her mouth rocking her back and forth gently.

Minutes of silence passed until the doorbell rang. I held Cayley in my arms as I walked to the front door opening it. There stood Ava-grace and Haleigh.

"Hey daddy." Ava said smiling up at me.

"Hey babygirl. Go to your room and play for a while okay." I told her.

"Okay..." She nodded sadly. I can never win with her. I think she hates me. It would be best if I left for awhile especially if my own daughter hates me. That's it I'm leaving for awhile.

"Thanks for keeping her." I thanked Haleigh as she turned around.

"No problem." She answered walking to her car. I shut the front door then walked back to the nursery. By now Cayley was asleep in my arms so I put her in the crib. I looked over at the rocking chair to see Bella asleep holding Campbell. I took Campbell from her arms putting him in his crib putting a pacifier in his mouth. I picked Bella up from the chair and carried her to our bedroom laying her on the bed and engulfing her in the blankets. It was around 3 in the afternoon. I decided I was gonna leave for a while. I took out a suitcase and quietly packed it with a few days worth of clothes and shoes and hygiene stuff then got a sheet of paper and wrote Bella a note.

Babygirl,

I know your probably wondering why I'm not here and why there's just a note. I feel as if Ava-Grace hates me and that I can't do anything right for her. I don't know what to do anymore. You don't see the way she's looked at me lately. It's not the same anymore. She's not the same little girl that always wanted to be with me. I don't know why this is affecting me but it is. It's probably a side affect from starting back up on my medication but anyway. Isabella Marie Selman. This is NOT and I repeat NOT a break up letter this is a I'm going to stay with a friend for a few days to cool down. I love you and Campbell and Cayley and Ava-grace so very much and can't imagine a world without you guys I just need some time to get my medicine back working again and to get back in the routine of my daughter not wanting to see me anymore. I love you to the next galaxy and back babygirl nothing will tear us apart. I'll be back in about a week. Text me call me FaceTime me whatever it takes when you see this. Tell Ava I love her and give the kids hugs and kisses for me. Love you.

~Blake xoxo

Tears fell from my eyes as I wrote. I didn't want to leave but my anger is probably why Ava hates me. I need to get this under control and fix myself. For the sake of Ava's love for me. The tears still fell as I walked out of the front door and got in my car as I drove to the only place I knew of.
I pulled into the driveway and knocked on the front door. He bounded down the steps and opened the door.

"Weston. Can I stay here for a few days?" I asked wiping my eyes.

"Yeah sure what's wrong." Weston said leading me into his house.

I explained the whole thing to him and he understood.

"It'll blow over dude. Ava-Grace doesn't hate you. She'll miss you like crazy while you're gone it'll be fine." He reassured me. And so I listened.

A/N:tell me what you think of this chapter in the comments. Love you all.
