|Recap|

I shook my head and noticed I've been sitting here thinking so much about how I am feelings for what happened. I turned on the cold heat because the summer, it gets hot and the car heats up. I pulled out of the driveway and drove away. This is happening once again.

|Kellin|

I pulled out my phone and clicked on my contact, "Nick" and rang it. I looked through the mirror to see if Zoe was holding up.

She was awake and staring around but I could see her slowly drifting back to sleep. "Hello?" Nick said into the phone. "Nick how would someone react to finding out someone cheated?" I asked not knowing how to start this out. "Well, they do go crazy.. Some people get physical, some get beyond emotional to where they could take their lives.. Uh.. It's just a depressing state but some really don't give a fuck. Why do you ask Kell? What's up?" I paused.

"Hazel cheated" I said. "She what-woah what the fuck how? When??" He asked. "I'm driving right now but I don't know a place to go. I have my wallet filled with about $200 and my credit card which holds all of my money. But she just admitted it probably twenty minutes ago. I am beyond pissed so I took Zoe with me because I don't want snobs taking care of my baby once I leave. For anything, what if Zoe isn't being taken care of well and Hazel just sleeps around?" I ranted and Nick thought.

"You have enough money to drive this way?" He asked. "Yeah I have all the money I ever made.. Yeah I have it with me why?" I asked confused. I kept watching Zoe. "You and Zoe can come here. I don't want you living in a fucking hotel or whatever. It's not good. Drive our way and if you want us to meet you half way, we will. Me and Jenna don't mind" my heart melted. "Sorry to sound gay but, that means a lot.. I will start the travel so like.. Talk soon?" I was coughing up words and I could imagine Nick smiling like a dummy.

"That's what brothers are for. Love you bro." Nick said and I said it back. We soon hung up after and I took a deep breath.

Even in our darkest times, we found strength to carry on.
So I'm not leaving
I'm not leaving till we're whole

Those words shot into my head and since I was in the parking lot of the mall, I looked back and looked at Zolita. She was sleeping and I could only imagine what her future would be like. I promised I would never just leave on her, but I mean having a broken family is so fucked up and it's so miserable. It can ruin someone. I want the best for Zoe.

Even though my stomach told me no, my brain told me different. I was to go back to Hazel. Who's been there every since she was a teenager who was so fucked up, deathly.. I was. Me, Kellin Quinn. Who was there when she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, me I was.
Who was there to call me her Mr, me I was. I'm going back, no turning around.

I stood in the driveway not knowing how to even approach her. I am giving her this last chance. I really hope I am doing the right thing. I love her so much and I don't want her love for me to just spill out if a bag that's unzipped.

I got out and wrapped Zoe's bag around my neck and unbuckled her car seat and picked the whole thing up and turned around and shut the door. I then turned around to unlock it and walk up the stairs of the house and opened the unlocked door of our house. I walked in and looked around the house.. Just in the moment I was gone, she must have went wild.

I frowned and walked up the rugged stairs and put Zoe's bag down and headed to my room. I saw Hazel facing the window and was silent but I could hear her silently sob. I walked to her and slowly proceeded to wrap my arms around her. "I'm sorry I overreacted" I choked on my words and she fell in me. "No I am sorry I did a big mistake Kellin" and she cried as she breathed which made my heart break.

"You know what my mother used to tell me?" I said facing the window and Hazel was silent and facing the window as well. "She used to tell me that pretty girls sometimes do mistakes but that doesn't change them, their beauty, or their hearts. Sometimes it's a mistake and they just aren't thinking. She used to tell me that girls are so fragile that they break once everything hits at once and that is exactly what you are doing. My mom told me that everyone deserves a second chance but you can't take that chance for granted or a love one can just slip away in a blink of an eye" I said and she looked at me and then back at the window. "I love you Kellin Quinn-Bostwick" she mumbled. "I love you too" I smiled and hugged her and tried calming her down. Maybe this is a start?
