back with my baby.
-------------------------
"Bailee what the hell! I thought you got over this bitch! alex is so much better!" my mom yelled as she opened the door.
I was shocked.
it was silent.
"Mrs. brown, I'm sorry. I dropped your daughter off, I'll be going now." emery said.
I could tell he was heart broken.
"don't go anywhere," I said and walked inside.
my suitcase was already packed, I grabbed it and my phone charger.
"bye Kayla, good luck in cali, tell alex I said bye, and Chloe, and Aidan." I said.
she stood up.
"Bailee, come on," she said.
she looked me in the face.
I was dead serious.
"I love you b, stay safe, text me, don't do anything dumb." she smiled with a tear.
"just another person on the list of people who leave me," she added.
"Kayla I'm sorry. I'll come back I promise, I just need time to figure things out," I said.
"I've heard that before," she said crying.
"what if I never see you again?" she cried.
"you will, I promise." I smiled.
she hugged me tightly.
I walked back to emery and started to close the door.
I let it go, but as we started walking I heard it open.
"hay," Kayla said.
we both turned around.
"I mean it, don't do anything stupid. I love you dork," she said crying.
I dropped my duffle bag and ran and hugged her.
"I'm coming back, I promise. I love you loser," I said.
I walked back to emery.
"bye emery, thanks for treating b like the princess she is, I love you bud." she laughed.
"thanks Kayla, I love your sister, and I love you too of course," he laughed.
"piggy back?" he said.
I laughed and jumped on his back.
he had my shoes, and my duffle bag, it was barely snowing outside and he was in a t-shirt because I was in his hoodie.
we got to his house, laughing.
we opened the door and his moms jaw dropped.
"my baby Bailee!" she said and ran over to hug me.
she started crying.
"I missed you so much sweet heart," emerys mom, Chelsea said.
"aww Chelsea I missed you too," I said.
"Ellie, Ellie!" she yelled.
Ellie was emerys little sister who was 10.
she came around the corner.
I smiled and wiped my eyes.
"my little sister!" i exclaimed.
her jaw dropped and she dropped to her knees.
"emery said you where gone, he said you were happier without him, I thought I'd never see you again!" Ellie said crying.
I loved this family.
I looked at emery, who looked at the floor.
"I could never stay away from you guys, you guys are my family. I love you guys." I said helping her up.
she hugged me.
"your all I have," Ellie said.
"you listened when I needed to talk, you understand the young girl problems. love you Bailee," she said.
I smiled.
"welcome back b, your always welcome, but it's late Ellie you and I need to get some rest," Chelsea said.
"mommy can I sleep with you?" Ellie said.
"of course sweetie," Chelsea said.
"good night, thanks for letting me stay!" I said as they walked down the hall.
emery and I went downstairs to there basement, where emery basically lived.
"welcome back to emery central," he joked.
"you know where everything is, just like the old days," emery smiled.
"imma pee and change," I laughed.
I ran into the bathroom and changed into black leggings and a maroon Bralette.
"b," emery said.
I came out of the bathroom.
"yeah?" I smiled.
"do you need to meet up with your mom tomorrow? don't you leave tomorrow night?" he asked.
I sighed and walked over to the couch.
I sat by emerys feet because he was laying on his back.
"I don't really know if I'm going," I said.
"I'd rather be with you than my mom," I said.
emery sniffled.
"I need Kayla and alex and chlo and Aidan, but I need you more than any of them," I said.
"well your mom hates me," emery said.
he sounded like he was crying.
he propped his head on the couch arm, and I climbed and sat in his stomach.
"emery, I have no idea why she hates you so much," I said.
"I know why," emery said wiping his eyes.
I was confused.
"I remind her of your dad," emery said.
my heart sank.
I wished that wasn't true, but it was.
"she's afraid," emery said crying.
"she was so in love with your father, we both know that. and she's seen the way we are, and she's seen my past record of robberies. your dad had that," emery paused.
"we just met earlier," he added.
"she doesn't want you to get hurt the way she did," emery said.
"she doesn't want you to cry yourself to sleep every night and wonder why the hell you weren't enough," emery said.
"but you are enough. and I'd never ever do that to you, I swear it's true." emery stopped.
"if we love each other and we're happy that's all that should matter," I said.
"what do I do to make her like me?" emery said.
"you be you." I smiled.
"you are wonderful," I said.
"and I'm in love with you," I added.
he smiled, and wiped his tears.
I crawled up to the side of his arm and cuddled up by his arm.
he kissed my forehead and covered us up with a knitted blanket my grandma had given him for a Christmas present.
"we'll be okay," I said.
"you and me against the world," I added.
"I wouldn't want it any other way," I finished.

Romance"sometimes your too close to someone to see the way they really are," he said. "or sometimes you love them too much that you don't want too," she sighed.
