The Future Of Us: The kids grew up!

Away...

BRAD's POV

I turn in the bed looking for Jen but the sheets are cold meaning she left the room a while ago. I turn my phone on seeing it's already eleven so I head to the shower

I get dress then head downstairs to the kitchen where the boys are having breakfast "Hey dad!" "Hi guys why are you having breakfast so late?" I start the coffee machine then sit next to them

"Why are you waking up so late?" Josh asks playing smart ass "Hey answer my question first idiot"

"Mom made us French toast before leaving" "Where is she?" They point a note on the fridge for sure from Jen

"Needed some time alone, I'll be back tonight don't worry"

They get up to play basketball "Are you coming with us?" "No I have some paper work to do maybe later" I join my office then send a text to Jen to make sure she's okay and know where she is
a
"Hey, the boys told me you left this morning. Are you okay? Where r u?"

"...."

JEN's POV

I've been driving for two hours now, not really having any idea of where I want to go but I just needed that. Being away from everything for awhile without being pissed of by the boys fighting, Catie stressed out about which singer she wants or Ally complaining about Catie or even Brad doing whatever the fuck he wants acting like i don't exist anymore.

It just feels too much and I felt like I was gonna explose if I didn't get away.

I drive another mile then look at a small empty beach away from the crowded side. It might be dangerous for me to be alone on an empty beach but it is much needed.

I park the car then climb down the few rocks that lends to the beach. The air is fresh and just listening to the sound of waves and birds satisfies me. I take a towel that I put on the sand the lay there reading my book, it's crazy how dangerous this could be but I live it.

As I turn on the notifications of my phone I receive a message from Brad, I decide not to answer and continue reading my book and enjoying my alone time.

After two hours of reading and thinking about how life has changed and how my marriage is taking sensitive corner I get three other messages from Brad asking me where I am and how worried he is, then I receive a text from Catie

"Mom are you okay?? Dad called me twice he has no idea of where you are please answer"

Then another one from Ally

"Mom is it a game are we supposed to look for you?? Are you in danger? Should we call the police?? Answeeeeer"

I laugh reading it then decide to answer them

"I'm fine don't worry, I just needed to spend some time alone so I went to the beach. Everything is okay I'm actually enjoying myself but please don't tell your father I do not want to be bothered and I know he's capable of coming by"

"Okay! Enjoy your time"

"Got it, won't tell a thing, love you"

"Actually, just tell him I'm fine. And that I'll be coming back tonight. I don't want  him to call the police or something"

I continue to read my book then find myself finishing it. When I look at the clock it's already 6p.m so I decide to take off not wanting to stay there till the sunset, and I'm actually surprised that there was not a single paparazzi to bother me this time

I get on the car then hit the road, but I don't want to go home, not now at least so I call Andrea

"Hey Dré! Are you home, can I come by?"
