"I'm so sorry about that." Candy said. "Take all the time you need. I don't want to see you here tell you're better. I can get someone to cover your shifts." I looked up to her from my hot cocoa. "So who's she with?" I sank down.

"Drew." I told her.

"What?"

"Yeah. Uh it was horrible. And what made it really horrible is that I  yelled at at mark." I told them. Candy and Rocky were in Front of me.

"Well its not really his fault now is it?" Candy added when Rocky left to wait tables.

"No its not. I'm, I, was just, I am upset and I took it out on him." I told them looking down at my drink that was in my hands.

"Go talk to him." She told me.

"No. I think he may need some space. He was also really upset about losing her too." I told them. I gave a small smile. "He told me that he feels like ruby is his too."

"Well that's good right?" Rocky asked walking over to them.

"Yeah. I just hope I'll get her back. It's almost Christmas and I don't think she'll be here." I started crying more.

"Hey, hey, hey. Its gonna be ok. They will figure out that you are not a bad parent and they will let ruby go back to you." Candy said. I looked up at her.

"I hope so." I then stood up. "I'm gonna go home."

"Need someone to walk you home?" Candy asked.

"Na, I want some fresh air, try to clear my mine, you know." I told her.

"Of course." She said with a smile. "I'll check on you later and remember take all the time you need." I nodded and walked out of the building.

The cold December air hit my face sending a chill down my spine. I shoved my hands in my pocket and walked down the street. This is so weird. I hate not having ruby with me. I miss her trying to pull me down the street to get home faster so we can play with her toys or have a small dance party. Or when she tries to avoid any of the cracks on the sidewalk because she doesn't want to Breck my back. Or when she would hold mark and my hand and tell us to swing her.

Look at me. I'm talking like she's dead and she's not. She's just not here with me. I made it to my apartment complex and punched in the number. And walked inside. When I got to the elevator I waited for the door to open and got in. When the door closed I couldn't hold back the tears anymore I just let them fall.

I have done everything I could do  to make sure she has a good life. I made sure she has a home, clothes, food, toys, and surrounded by people that love her. And I even have a college fund started for her.

When the elevator door openedni whipped my eyes and walked out. I looked at my door and saw mark standing there with his forhead on he door knocking. "Mia, I know you are in there. Please awnser me. I'm sorry for what I did. I just thought they were fands that were being stupid. I didn't think that they were gonna do something like that. I really, really didn't. You have all the right to be mad at me, just Please let me in so we can talk."

"I'm not mad." He looked up at the door.

"Baby, I'm sorry. I really am. Please let me in." He said looking at the door.

"You have to move so I can unlock the door." I said walking over to him. He snapped his head in my direction and gave me a small smile. When I got over to him he gave me a long and warm hug. I then buried my head into his chest. We stood there for a few minutes. When we pulled away I turned to the door and opened the door. We went I side and I flopped down on the couch and mark did the same next to me. He then placed his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into him. I tested my head on his chest and we just sat there in silence and darkness.

I honestly don't know how long we sat there but Rocky came back which means it's after 3pm. He gave me a small smile and walked to his room. And left me and mark to sitting. I felt mark lean his head on my head and plant a small kiss on my forehead.

"I love you. And will get her back." He told me.

"I know. I just want her back now." I told him. I sat up and grabbed my phone. "I need to call my parents and tell them."

"Alright." He said. I then got up and called my mom and told her everything. She said that she's gonna stop by tomorrow and see how I'm doing. I then called daryl and told him and he told me to hang on. And that this like this happen for a reason.

When I was done calling everyone I went and sat back down next to mark and he pulled me back into him.
