Kenzie POV
I was in the kitchen listening to our daughter ramble on and on about how she got to sit with the popular kids at lunch, she seemed very excited because they are mostly upperclassmen while she's only a freshman. "What about your brother" I asked "oh I don't know, I didn't get to see him today" she said"I thought he was going to eat with you" I asked "mom. The popular girls asked me to sit with them I can't pass that up" she explains again "ok. Go so I can finish unpacking the kitchen since you wanted to drop all the cups" I reminded her of yesterday "I told you we should tape the bottom" she said before sliding away.
When she left I started to unpack the plates but a rush of anger cane over me and next thing I know there is a million pieces of glass is everywhere. I keep throwing plates at the wall til I hear someone call my name "um mom" I heard hunter say "yeah what up" I said wiping the sadness off my face "dads here" he said and I nodded
Me and Johnny have always had a rocky relationship and we love each other but we used to fight a lot over small things so we decided to take a break and he moved out but he still comes over every other day "hey John" I said seeing him on the couch "hey. Come here" he said opening his arms for me to straddle him. I sat down and started crying out of nowhere
"It's ok. Let it out" he whispered in my ear and I cried onto his shoulder. I heard the kids come into the living room and I stopped crying instantly and dried my face with my hands. "Hey um. We don't really have any plates so I'm going to pick up some food" I said and they looked at me confused "let me know what you want in the next 10 minutes" I said heading into the kitchen full of boxes
"It's ok to not be ok" Johnny said wrapping his arms around me "I'm failing this whole parents thing. I'm supposed to protect them and what do I do, pass on my problems so my son who the hell does that" I said "I broke all the plates by throwing them at the wall and he saw me" I cried "it's ok. You just need a minute. When was the last time you took your meds" he asked
"A few weeks ago but I slept through everything and missed her final day at camp and his hockey pictures" I said "they make me too sleepy. I'm a mom I need to be there for them and I've been falling behind" I cried even harder "and to top it all off I can't even keep a relationship with you longer than 4 months and I want to be with you but I can't and I don't know why" I said hugging him
I cried for a good hour just standing in the kitchen hugging him tightly "look. I love you, they love you but you need a break. You do too much for us willingly and it's just catching up to you do calm down and take a break. And take these please" he said handing me my anxiety pills "Ok" I said taking one and handing it to him "also nice house, but don't you think it's a bit much for the 3 of you" he said looking around
"Well I was thinking. Maybe you could move in with us" I asked "Kenz. We hate each other like every other day" he reminds me "I know. But if we keep giving up when we fight over one thing than we can't get better. Just think about it please,new house,new place, new friends, new start" I said "new us" he finished "not that I'm objecting but why do you want me to move in" he asked
"Im happier with you and I know you're happier with me. We always break up when things get good, and I realized that you make me feel good about myself and I need that right now" I said "also I need help putting stuff up there" I pointed to the top cabinets and we laughed "i love you" he said "and I love you" I kissed him passionately.
"So what did you want to eat" I asked the kids going into Bella's room since they weren't in hunters "are you ok" hunter asked concerned "yeah. Why" I asked trying to play sly "we heard laughing and you laugh when you're in pain" Bella lies "yeah I'm ok. But text me what you want I'm leaving" I said closing the door and leaving.
