Memories [Book 2] [A Langson Fan Fic]

Twelve

Adalee spent the day at the garage with Olivia. Olivia got her to relax and then she let her help with packing the rig up. Felix took Adalee down the street to pick up lunch, and Olivia got a few minutes of space from her daughter. She needed time to herself, after realizing that she'd be getting another divorce. This time, she would be doing it for her children, not herself. Before she got a divorce because she knew she wouldn't be able to be a mother to her child, but this time she knew that her marriage was damaging to Adalee's health.

"Babe?" Trevor whimpered, and Olivia stood up from the bench and turned around to see her husband.

"Trevor... you can't be here," Olivia spoke, as she brushed a tear from her cheek.

"I need to be here. I need to be here with you... Olivia, please just give me another shot."

"It's not you that is causing all of these problems, Trevor! It's Ember. She is going through some deep and dark shit right now, and our marriage isn't helping her. It's making matters worse and it's bringing my daughter's anxiety back to life. I can't allow her to get to the point where she can't leave the house."

"She was that bad before?" Trevor asked, and Olivia nodded slowly.

"It was after Elliot passed away and it lasted for years after that... she's so delicate and I worry that this is far from where we all need to be." Olivia spoke.

"Liv, please," Trevor begged, as he grabbed Olivia's hips and pulled her close. They were both full-on ugly crying at this point, and their lips were shaking as they kissed, and neither knew if it would be for the last time or not.

"I'm going to talk to Angie's sister. See if she can help us out. I want Ember with us, but if she can't deal with her feelings properly, she needs to be with someone else." Trevor spoke. Olivia shoved her husband away from her and shook her head.

"You will NOT throw your daughter away. Do you understand me, Trevor Langan?!" Olivia growled. Trevor's eyes went wide as he slowly backed against the wall.

"I'm not throwing her away! I want to get her help! Angie's sister is a therapist and she has worked with Ember before!" Trevor cried. Olivia took a slow breath before hearing Adalee call her name from outside of the locker room.

"You need to go, Trevor. Now is not a good time and I don't think any other time will be."

Olivia got Ainsley from school before taking her and Adalee to her mother's house. Olivia went to what had been her house for only a week, and she rang the doorbell instead of just walking in. After a few long moments, Ember answered the door. She looked at Olivia and frowned.

"Daddy is sending me to live with Aunt Anna. He said that I need help." Ember growled, and Olivia bit her lip hard before just moving past the girl and into the house.

"It's all your fault, Olivia! You are the reason why my Daddy thinks I'm crazy!" Ember yelled as Olivia walked towards the stairs. Ember ran towards Olivia and grabbed her arm and pulled it hard. Olivia slipped down the stairs she had walked up, but Olivia landed on her feet and stared at her step-daughter.

"I'm moving out, Ember! I'm taking my girls and I'm leaving! So be happy that I'm gone. That my daughters are gone. You got your wish! Acting like a complete brat and not caring at all about anyone else has clearly worked for you. I told your father not to send you away, but if he decides it is right then it's on him. Not me. So let me go and I'll get away from you." Olivia spat, before ripping her arm from the girl. She ran up the stairs and went straight into the room at Ember and Adalee had shared.

Olivia grabbed some boxes from their closet and opened them up. She started to shove all of her daughter's items into them before carrying them out of the room and piling them in the hall. She moved to Ainsley's room and packed up her stuff before she went into the room she once shared with her husband.

"What are you doing here?" Trevor spoke, from where he sat on the bed. He had his sound-blocking headphones around his neck, and Olivia knew that he never heard what she had said to Ember.

"I'm packing up and leaving. And your daughter is blaming me for sending her away. Why are you still doing that?!" Olivia spat. She thought that Trevor was the most amazing man on the face of the Earth, but he seemed almost as bad as Elliot was.

"Because I thought that you and the girls were coming home tonight!"

"Trevor, we are done. I'm sorry, but this isn't working. You need to get everything fixed with your daughter before you can approach a relationship with someone else. If you want to file for divorce, do it. If you want to stay married, I won't fight you on that because I love you... but this isn't how I want to live my life."

Olivia walked over and started to pull everything of hers from the room and packed those up. Then she made several trips downstairs and to her car. She went back inside and made one last sweep before finding Ember standing at the top of the stairs.

"What?" Olivia huffed because she was so done.

"You didn't tell my Daddy to send me away?" Ember asked, and Olivia shook her head.

"I'm not a bad person, Ember. I would never send you away just so I could have your father. I wanted us all to be a family, but that will never, and I truly mean never, happen."

"So he doesn't love me anymore?" Ember whispered. Olivia sighed as she shook her head again.

"He loves you, Ember. You are his only child. He needs you now because he has no one anymore." Olivia spoke, before just turning around and walking back down the stairs. She left without saying another word, and she prays that they could figure something out so that Trevor and Ember could at least stay together.
