It Gets Better! (Book 3)

Chapter 10: Moving Day!

~Taylor's POV~

I woke up early and took a shower. When I got out Lexi was sitting on the bed with the baby. I watched her and wished it was Acacia with Nash. But things happen. I slipped my boxers on and walked out. I sat on the bed and Lexi looked at me.

"Thanks for letting us stay here."

"No problem. Want to go out for lunch?" I asked.

"Yeah that would be fun."

"Okay. I'm going to finish changing."

I walked back into the bathroom and got dressed. I heard the baby crying and it brought a few tears to my eyes. I blinked them away and walked out. Lexi was wearing a dress and her hair was up. Ghetto b an was changed and we made our way to my car. I locked the door and helped get the baby situated.

I got in the drivers seat and turned the engine on. I turned around to make sure no one was behind me. I reversed and started driving us to IHOP.

We sat down in a booth. I sat across the way from Lexi and the baby. I should really learn his name. I knew it was Aaron but they called him something else. I didn't want to call him a name he doesn't know. I grabbed a menu and looked through it.

"Thanks again for letting Aaron Nash and I stay at your house last night."

THAT'S IT! AARON NASH!

"No problem. You don't deserve to be treated the way Cameron treated you last night."

"I know. But I love him. I honestly do."

"Then if you feel that way tell him. He needs to know how you feel. Plus work it out for Aaron Nash."

"So true. You know what I will."

"He needs you guys more than anything."

"He does doesn't he." Lexi said as she looked at her son. "He does."

~Acacia's POV~

"I've never let anyone come in here. This is Aaron's room. He would have been almost 1. On September 8th actually."

"That's my birthday." Cameron said.

"Yeah. That's why I named him Aaron. He reminded me of you."

"That's why I named my son Aaron. Because of you."

"He needs you. More than anything. Keep him close to you." I told him.

"I will."

"I need to start packing."

"For what?"

"I'm staying at my Cousin Jack's house."

"Want any help?"

"Please."

We walked out of the room and I did my normal routine that I did everytime I left Aaron's room. I kissed his crib and placed my hand over my heart. I said a prayer and walked out shutting the door behind me. I trailed my finger across it and then I walked into my room. I grabbed a suitcase out of the closet and started packing some clothes into it.

Cameron emptied my drawers and I emptied my closet. I had about 4 suitcases. I walked into the bathroom and took my belongings. I occasionally walked out while having to answer Skylynn. I left my bags in the car and Cameron started loading them for me.

I grabbed the last of my things and walked back into Aaron's room. I walked and sat down in the rocking chair. I held the bear close to my heart and closed my eyes. I let out a breath of air and whispered;

"Mommy will be home soon. I promise I just need to get away from the bad things. But mommy promises she'll be home soon. Daddy and I just need a break. I will always love you and you know that. Okay. You're my everything and it's hurting me that I won't be here for awhile so mommy is going to take your little lion with me to have you with me Okay. I got to get going but I love you Aaron. I always will."

I did my routine while taking his lion in my hands. I shut the door and walked away putting it in my car. I walked in the house and into Skylynn's room. She was sitting there playing with her dolls.

"Hey Sky. It's time to get going. We got to get you home."

"But I want to stay with you."

"This weekend you're staying at your dad's remember."

"Fine." She said putting her things away.

She walked out her room and shut her door. We told Hayes goodbye and walked out. Cameron decided to come with me and so we got in the car. I touched up my makeup before leaving. I started to leave when I saw Taylor's car in the distance. I hurried and drove away before he saw me. I turned onto the main road.

"Can we get some ice cream before I go home?"

"Why not."

I drove to McDonald's and got us some ice cream. I was staying the night at the Grier's until tomorrow. We drove 'home' and I pretty much fell asleep.

⇨The next morning⇦

I woke up to Mama Grier cooking breakfast. We sat down and ate. She had to work so I was going to take Hayes and Skylynn to their dad's house. We all piled into whatever room was left in my car. Hayes over took the stereo and started singing. They lived close to Jack so it wasn't really a hassle.

I dropped them off and drove to the store. I decided to buy the guys some cookies, chips, and soda before I went. I made it and knocked on the door. Jack Johnson opened the door and smiled. I hugged him and he invited me in.

"Jack's at the store. But he said you'll be staying with us."

"Just for a while. I did bring some cookies, chips, and soda."

"Stay as long as you want!" Jack said smiling.

"We're cooking out today so you'll get to meet some new friends."

"Should be fun. Mind if I shower?"

"Go ahead it's up the stairs and on your right. It's the first door."

"Thank you."

I walked to the shower and when I finished I changed. I changed into some black high waisted jeans, a pink see threw shirt, and pink wedges. I put lotion on and then I blow dried my hair and brushed it out. I heard voices coming from downstairs and I sprayed perfume and put on deodorant. I walked out and down the stairs. The only familiar faces were the Jack's. I hugged my Cousin and noticed his friends staring.

"Hey." Jack said

"Hi."

"Did Jack warn you about some friends coming over."

"He did. My name's Acacia." I told them.

"I'm Jc." A boy with black hair swept to the side, and gadges said..He was cute.

"Matthew. Call me Matt." Another with light brown hair up in a quiff said. He wasn't bad.

We all started talking and went outside. I sat in between e two new guys and started laughing at them. Then another guy came. He had brown hair and a perfect smile.

"Hi my name's Shawn." He said when he saw me.

"Acacia."

He smiled and then gave the guys either a hand shake or a quick "bro hug". I heard a familiar voice and saw Nash walk out of the house. His eyes widen when he saw me and he sat down. I listened to all the guys and laughed at their stupid comments. I was having a good time. More people came and so did a few other girls. We sat on the opposite side talking. And then Nash brought out the beer. That's when the real party started.
