Chapter 11

**LEAH'S POV**

I follow Luke downstairs like a lost puppy. My body is going weak, I'm crying and I'm pretty sure my heart has just been torn out of my chest and stepped on 100 times.

"But.." I manage to say as Luke reaches the door.

"There's no but about it Leah. I thought I could handle this and I told myself it would get easier and everything would be alright but nothing has changed. Don't get me wrong I love Zoey and Troye like they were my own but I can't look after kids, I can barely look after myself."

I open my mouth to speak but the words get stuck in my throat.

"I'm sorry Leah, I shouldn't of made you think that I could do it, I shouldn't of gotten with you when I knew you were pregnant."

All the words hurt me but none of it made any sense, this isn't Luke, even if he was going to leave he wouldn't be like this.

"Goodbye Leah." he said in a bitter tone and then walked out the door.

The tears were streaming down my face and I couldn't find the words to shout after Luke to try and convince him to stay but before I knew it he was in his car and driving away.

I ran down the driveway after him, collapsing to my knees at the end. The tears were falling faster and I was crying harder.

After what seemed like forever I managed to pick myself off of the ground and go back inside. I feel emotionally and physically drained today has been such a crap day.

I close the door and hear Zoey and Troye both crying from upstairs. I run upstairs and pick them both gently up out of their crib.

I hug the both close to my chest and rock them slightly.

"It will be alright." I tell them, not exactly believing the words I said.
