—GRAYSON—

i still can't wrap my mind around the fact that really left me with our newborn daughter. i didn't do anything to irk her to the extent that she had to leave me.

she's been acting so weird and i wish i knew what was wrong. it's like i don't even know my own wife anymore.

i decide to call up josh to bring pizza and have a few drinks while i mope about jane and violet-grace.

he came within a few minutes and i'm so drunk i can't see which way is left and which way is right. i'm too focused on the bottle of scotch in front of me.

"God, i miss her so much." i tear. "she was my everything and she just packed up and left. i wish i could do something to bring her back or at least love me the way i love her."

"gray, man, she does love you she probably just doesn't—" i cut him off.

"doesn't what, josh?! i gave her my fucking everything and she took it and left! she took my fucking daughter!" i break down at this point. "i bet she's not even mine." i cry. "do you think she would really cheat?" i shake my head. "no, jane wouldn't do that." i begin bawling. "fucking jane! i swear, this is what i was afraid of! i wish i didn't love her! honestly, moping over ellie was easier. i at least knew she cheated and what was wrong. but with jane, fucking jane, i can't seem to figure out a damn thing. she's like a fuckin puzzle and i can't seem to figure how to put her together."

"gray, you shouldn't be beating yourself up over this. listen, i'll call natti and ask her what's wrong with jane." he tells me and i shake my head.

"no use, i called and she didn't even answer." i stare blankly at my glass filled with scotch.

"maybe she'll answer me, you never know." he shrugs.

i scoff. "look at you, so optimistic. i used to be like that—" he cuts me off.

"grayson bailey dolan, if you keep talking like that i'm gonna slap the shit outta you until you get your head straight. do you understand me?!" he tells and i nod, feeling slightly intimidated. "good, i'll call natti now." he gets out his phone and calls natti. "hey." he says after a while into the phone. "how's your sister? grayson is really worried and—" he cuts himself off and listens intently into the phone. "really?" he bites his lip.

"what?" i'm suddenly interested.

"okay, i'll talk to you later. bye." he hangs up and i snap my fingers in front of him.

"what's wrong?" i snap.

"she's bawling her eyes out and violet-grace won't stop crying. cate thinks she misses her parents together. cate and james want you to come by and see your daughter and—" josh doesn't have to finish his sentence. i get up and grab my keys and he runs in front of me. "what the fuck are you doing?" he yells.

"i have to see jane and violet-grace," i tell him. "move." i try pushing him and he won't budge.

"dude, you're fucking drunk. let's get you a driver." without thinking, i swing and punch him square in the nose making him bleed instantly. he falls over and clutches his nose, his hands filling with blood.

"don't tell me what to do!" i spit.

"aw, fuck!" he stands up hunched over bleeding all over my marble floor. "because you're my friend and because you're shitfaced i'll drive, with a bleeding nose." he scoffs. "fuckin dumbass." he mutters and takes my keys and we walk out to my audi i8 named rose.

"thank you." i say in a small voice realizing what i did was wrong.

"kiss my ass!" he yells in my face as he reverses out.

we make it to cate and james' house and i bang in the door. one of the maids let's us in and looks at josh in horror. she quickly takes him to get cleaned up and i run upstairs to jane's room.

i walk in and see her crying. i almost lose my mind and run up to her. she looks up from violet-grace who is soundly sleeping in her crib. "baby, i'm here, what's wrong? why are you crying? isn't this what you wanted? didn't you want to get away?" she sniffles.

"i still don't feel safe, gray." she says, barely above a whisper. "i want to get away, somewhere far away. i hate la! i hate it so fucking much! i want to go somewhere where i can raise my daughter better! i want to experience all four seasons! i don't like heat-waves and barely any rain. i want to be where it rains and just feel so at peace instead of having everyone complain about the weather!"

"what are you saying, babe?"

"can we move to new jersey? like, where you're from?" i'm taken aback. "or maybe somewhere like maine, where you can live on the beach, or i'd rather live in the hamptons and have an ocean view. please, i need to get away from all this bullshit!" she cries and i bring her into a tight embrace. she just continues to cry to her hearts content into my shoulder.

"we can move, of course we can. i don't like la anyway. i'm not busy anyway, and i can tell my manager that i don't want to be in any movies or shows for the time being. i just want to make you happy and be there for you and our daughter." she nods and begins calming down.

"i also want to limit the staff in the house. i want to let go of the new staff and keep the staff who've been with us for quite a while and maybe take some of them with us to the hamptons." i nod.

"of course. we can do whatever you want. i just want you to be happy." she smiles and kisses my cheek.

"i love you, grayson dolan. you're the best husband i could ever ask for." she wraps her arms around my neck and i wrap my arms around her tighter.

"i love you more, jane dolan. i'm happy you're the mother of my child and my wife." i kiss her forehead and we just lay in her bed until either of us falls asleep.

it's settled. by tomorrow, i will fire all the new staff in the house and minimize the people who have access to our home. i'm going to buy a house in the hamptons that caters to all our needs and build a nursery for violet-grace. and in three-days time, we'll be in the hamptons.

i just want my wife to feel happy and safe. i'll do all it takes to make her happy and safe. no matter what.
