    "Guys can we please just do the show," Harry said.

    "Hehe okay," Ryan said.
Harry's POV
   I can't believe I'm dating the most beautiful person in the world, it feels so amazing. This all happened so fast but I'm lovestruck and can't stop smiling.
   "Okay guys we start in 5 minutes the producer said.
Jennifer's POV
   Oh my gosh I love Harry so much, I don't know why it took this long for us to come together. I mean, he's everything I look for in a man. He's manly, he makes me laugh and he super charming.
    Wait a minute, I thought, what about Natasha and Ella? How am I supposed to break the news to them? They did spend the night at my parents house and they're at school right now but what happens when they get home. What will Alex tell them? What will happen to Max and Emme?
     This all happened so fast that I didn't even think about my own family. It's been 4 days and they probably have no clue what's going on. Obviously mom would've kept them at her house because she knows what happened to me and Alex. And at that moment...
*open texts*
L: Jennifer, the kids are asking about Alex.
J: Which ones?
L: All four of them.
J: 😔
L: What do I do? Should I take them to Alex? I mean half of them are his kids. I think keeping them away from him is umm... illegal😬
J: Tell them to wait until I get home. I'll tell them what's going on.
L: ok sure thing👌
*close texts*
   So now I have to think about what I'm supposed to tell the kids. Should I tell Harry? I mean I kind of have to right. You know what let me just try to get through the day.

7:00pm...

    Oh lord, it's time to go home and explain everything. This is just going to be great
    I get home and see the kids sitting on the couch watching TV.
   "Hey mom, I mean Jen," Tashi said. A tear escaped from my eye. This was heartbreaking.

   "Hey guys," I said, "I have to tell you something."

   "Is it about us," Max asked.

   "Well yeah kind of," I responded, "so your dad and I got into a big fight because he started drugs again and so he lied about it so umm Alex and I are no longer together--"

    "So does that mean we never see you again?" Ella asked.

    "Well, yeah. So first thing tomorrow you guys have to go back to your dads place and um.. never see me again." I said.

    "But... but no," Tashi said.

   I gave both of them a big hug and started to cry.

    "I love you guys so much and you have become my family but I have to let you go back to Alex," I said as I rubbed their backs. This broke me.

The next morning...

    I had to drop Ella and Natasha at Alex's for the last time and I was heartbroken.

   "I'm going to miss you mom, I mean Jen," Ella said.

   "I'm going to miss you guys too," I said as a tear escaped from my eye.

  We got to the house and knocked on the door. Alex opened the door.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Alex asked.

"I told them," I said, "Im just here to give them back and say goodbye so well... goodbye."

   As I walked back to my car, Ella and Natasha ran to me and gave me a big hug, I teared up. I looked over at Alex and started shaking my head. I have to forget about this because it's not like anything is going to happen anytime soon. But what do I tell Harry?

The next day...

    It's another day of shooting American Idol and I have to break the news to Harry. He texted me all night and I never responded so walking into the studio is going to be awkward.
   I get into the studio and I'm the first one there which is actually incredibly rare. I was there for about 15 minutes waiting and checking my phone and as I was scrolling through fan accounts, I stumbled upon this picture of me and Alex with the caption, 'they are a power couple😻 I mean Jennifer hasn't had very trustworthy relationships in the past but this one is a keeper💖 J.Rod🖤' my heart sank. I checked my DM's and there were such sweet messages I wish I could reply to every single one of them.
   Harry walked in moments later.
  "Hi babe," he said as he kissed my forehead, "you didn't reply to any of my texts or answer any of my calls, what happened?" 

   "Oh um... nothing just caught up in some work," I replied.

   "Jen really?" Harry asked, "it didn't take me long to figure out something was wrong at the lunch and it doesn't take me long to figure out something is wrong now. What is it?"

   "It's Alex," I responded.

   "What did he do? I'll beat the shit out of him! Did he touch you?" Harry asked.

   "No, no, no it's nothing like that," I said.

   "Then what is it?" Harry asked.

   "It's kind of complicated," I said.

   "Tell me," he said, "I can handle complicated." 

   "Ok so you know how Alex has two kids?" I said, "well so Ella and Tashi felt like family to me because they were close to me. They told me that they thought Alex was doing drugs again, which he was and they accidentally called me mom, so I feel some sort of attachment to them. But then yesterday I had to tell them what was going on and how Alex was doing drugs and that they were right. Then I had to take them back to Alex's house because they were staying at my parents' house and when I dropped them off then ran and hugged me and my heart broke. So now I can't stop thinking about them, Ella and Tashi not Alex."

     "Oh no babe," he said as he wrapped his arms around me, "it's going to be okay. I know this all happened so fast that none of us know what to think but I'll help you get through it. It's like abandoning your children."

    "Yeah, I guess so," I said.

     "It's okay babe," he said as he kissed me. 

   I can't believe he's being so supportive, I love him.
