Sunday's always hit different for me. I wasn't a religious person, but something about Sunday's just made me super happy and blessed.

But this time was different.

After what happened last night, I was afraid to even get out of bed. It was a feeling that I couldn't explain, but I didn't want to deal with anything today.

Everything was going great. I don't know why things have to turn to shit every time something good finally happens in my life.

I'm not saying that Brailynn made things worse, but I just felt something that I haven't felt in a while last night. I had forgotten, or mostly, about Cameron and when Brailynn showed up, every emotion was surfacing through again.

I miss Cameron. I really do, but everything was fine the way it was.

Now I'm stuck feeling emotions again and it sucks.

Rolling over in bed, I checked the time and saw that it was eight in the morning. I wanted to sleep more but that was impossible when thoughts were running through my mind.

I heard noises from the kitchen but ignored them as I knew that Jace was cooking breakfast. Sometimes I don't understand how he wakes up so early.

I couldn't do it to save my life.

Laying on my back, I stared up at the ceiling. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened last night when Lexie brought Brailynn back home. I wanted to know what Cameron's reaction was and what exactly Lexie told her.

As I was laying there in my thoughts, my phone started ringing. I grabbed it from the table and looked at the screen then instantly felt my heart stop in place.

Cameron.

I had forgotten to delete her number after all this time. I guess I had so much on my mind or I had just forgot about with everything else going on.

Why was she calling me?

I didn't know what to do. If I should answer it or not cause honestly, I was scared.

Without thinking much more about it, I accepted the call then held the phone up to my ear. "Hello?"

"Micah?"

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Brailynn?"

"Can you come over, please." It sounds like she's been crying.

I sat up in bed then heard noises on the other end. It sounded like things were bring thrown around and a lot of screaming.

"What's going on?"

"Aunt Lexie and mom are fighting. Can you come over? Please!" She begged.

I heard a lot more noises as I quickly got up. "Ok, I'll be over there in a minute."

She hung up afterwards and I went to my closet to slip on a hoodie. I wasn't sure what I was even doing by this point but it sounded like Brailynn was crying and scared.

I wasn't sure what was going on but I knew that this decision I was making might not be the best.

After I got dressed, I slid my shoes on then walked out of my room and smelled food. My stomach growled but I told it to hush for a moment as I walked through the hall and stopped when I saw Jace in the kitchen.

He was wearing boxers and he had his back towards me, standing at the stove. I watched as he was humming to a song that was playing on the Bluetooth next to him and slightly swaying his hips.
