Love At First Sight - Beau Bennett

Thirty Five

*important A/N at the end*

Danielle's POV

Beau's request to get a divorce recalled shocked me. I knew that things were rough and patchy but I thought we'd be able to get past it. I kinda just stared at him. We were about to settle in New Jersey, he'd been down in NJ sorting the house out for us, I don't know why it's all happened now.

"A divorce? Is that what you really want Beau?" I asked him as I tried not to shout.

"Please Danielle, the kids are upstairs."

"You're the one who brought this up, I know that we've been distant lately but I didn't think that was the key to a divorce. What's going to happen with Brooke and Jace."

"Well it's pretty obvious that Brooke wouldn't want to come with me. Jace and I could go down to NJ, you and Brooke can stay here and we'll alternate, meet in the middle and I'll take Brooke and you take Jace." He suggested. I laughed and stood up.

"It's crazy isn't it? You made me fall in love with you in a number of days and you've made me fall out of love with you in a matter of seconds." He stood up and walked over to me.

"No Dan it's not like that. I still love you, I'm just n-"

"Not in love with me? Beau that's the most cliche thing ever. Everyone says that shit." I pointed out. "Actually Beau. Can you just leave. If you feel that way then I don't want to share the same bed, the same kitchen or the same house with you for another minute." And that's when Beau just looked at me, not saying a thing before he left. My actual husband just left me. I sat back down to try and process what was happening when I got a text off Beau.

'Beau - I met someone in New Jersey'

'Danielle - I figured.'

I sighed and Brooke walked into the living room. She looked at me and pulled me into a hug.

"Mom, what's wrong?" She asked. I stayed silent until she pulled out of the hug to look me in the eyes. "Mom, please tell me what's wrong. I hate seeing you upset."

"Your father had left to go to New Jersey. He won't be coming back either." She just stared at me, no emotion. "Baby I'm so sorry."

"Why are you sorry? Mom, it's not your fault." She told me. She hugged me again before pulling away and getting Jace from upstairs. I sat down on the couch and the two children followed my actions. "Jace, dad is gunna be living in New Jersey, you know that right?" Jace nodded and I sighed.

"Baby he wants you to go and live with him for one week then come back here next week. Now, dad will be here soon so he can tell you about all of this in detail okay? But I never want you guys to forget that we both love you." Jace ran over to me and hugged me before hugging Brooke. I never want my kids to feel like they're not loved, my kids will always be loved, they're such beautiful children.

*a/n - hey, so basically, I have bad anxiety and depression. So I'm trying to get back into writing. Please stick with me, I'll try to update more.
