Lilly Parkinson, A 19 year old girl, daughter of the world-renowned pro surfer Joel Parkinson was taken from Bondi at 14 when her parents had divorced to the Western-Sydney town, Bathurst. When she finally wants to pursue her dream of becoming a lif...
A/N- hey guys I'm trying to update more regularly! ~
*Lilly's POV*
Harrison, my ex-boyfriend who is the father of my child and Jasmine, my baby sitter for my child... were dating?
"Oh" I muttered out, a frown overcoming my face.
"Jasmine we weren't dating?" Harrison spoke making Jasmine raise her eyebrows in amusement.
"What? You calling me almost every night for 8 months, taking me out on dinner dates was just nothing to you?" Jasmine asked.
I bit my lip awkwardly not knowing how I got into this position in the first place.
"Don't do this right now" Harrison spoke through gritted teeth.
"Whatever. I'm not dealing with this right now" she spoke letting out a sigh at the end.
"Same time tomorrow?" Jasmine asked me, distracting me from my day dream.
"Uh yeah, 9am" I said giving her an obviously awkward smile before she left.
I shut the door behind her before walking straight past Harrison and into Heather's room.
"Lilly, come on don't do this" he said groaning as he ran his hands through his hair, which is what I've learnt he does when he's stressed.
"Do what Harrison?" I asked bluntly.
"Cmon Lilly... Jasmine and I. We're history. It's not like us" he spoke as if he wasn't really understanding his own words.
"Oh just like how you and Chloe were history?" I asked as I began to undress Heather to change her.
"Lilly that's different. Way different. Jasmine and I have an open relationship without the whole commitment part" he spoke shocking me even more.
"Harrison you really aren't making this any better for yourself, first you tell me that you have an open relationship with her, so you're obviously involved sexually with other women. Then you tell me that you weren't dating her but you basically are?" I spoke looking up from Heather to stare at him in the eyes.
"I- I don't know what to say. I haven't seen her since before you got back. I was planning to end things. I forgot about her since you came back if I'm being honest" he spoke.
I stayed silent as I observed him. I shook my head lightly in... disappointment?
"What happened? What happened to the Harrison that had the decency to respect girls... now your here having sex with multiple girls. But your also dating another girl. But you also tell me you miss me. I left you as a man and now your a boy?" I asked not understanding what was going through this guy's head.
"I'm sorry" he whispered.
"I don't know why I'm getting mad at you for Jasmine... we aren't dating" I whispered continuing to change Heather.
"I know we aren't. But I thought that we were serious? I thought we were serious about us?" He asked referring to before he totally ghosted Heather and I.
I stood there just staring at my beautiful baby girl wishing I could just spend my days alone with her, but I couldn't. I had to work. I needed a baby sitter. I needed to get money so I could afford to live and support the two of us. I need to save for Heathers future in school and possibly college.
"I honestly can't handle any more stress in my life right now" I whispered looking up at him with tears eyes.

He looked down and nodded before walking straight out.
I let out a deep sigh, realising that Harrison had just offered me an opportunity at a new life with him and I'd turned it down. I was confused if I had done the right thing. I needed to put Heather first before my own or Harrison's needs. I didn't need a man in my life. Right?
*Harrison's POV*
I leaned against my kitchen counter as I sipped on my barely touched drink.
I'd put myself on the line and I know I'd fucked up a lot since she came back, but I offered her my heart and she didn't want it.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket scrolling through my contacts, trying to find one specific name.
I finally found it pressing the green button, the speaker playing the ringing tone.
"Harrison?" I heard Jasmine speak.
"Yeah. It's me. Can you come over so we can talk?" I asked nervously.
I heard her sigh deeply before she began to speak again. "Yeah. I'll be there in 20" she said before hanging up.
There was a big difference between Jasmine and Lilly. Lilly was hard-headed and tried to be strong and Jasmine was broken and desperate for love. If I had done what I'd done to Jasmine, to Lilly. There would be no forgiving but with Jasmine she would forgive me in an instant.
Not to blame Jasmine but I feel like being her has changed me to a disrespectful type of guy. Because she comes back no matter what. No matter how far I went she would always come back. And that sucked for both of us. It made me feel like what I was doing was okay because she came back as if nothing happened.
There was soon a knock at the door startling me from my daze.
I placed my glass down before opening the door to see Jasmine standing there. I let her in and in a matter of seconds my lips where on hers. They were nothing like Lilly's.
And in a matter of minutes we were naked underneath my bed sheets. She was nothing like Lilly.
