~Breezy P.O.V.~
~A Couple Days Later~

I came home to find the house entirely empty of other people, aside from Cocoa Butter, like I already had a feeling. Breezon was with Joel and Vonnie is supposedly still living at Jamie's... I don't even like being in this house anymore, it doesn't feel right because I'm basically here by myself. What's the point of being in a family home when my family isn't even here? 

I let out a deep sigh when I saw the engagement ring still sitting on the counter when she first took it off and placed it there a few weeks ago. Picking it up, I stared at it feeling uncomfortable that it wasn't back on her finger where it belonged. No lie, it really broke my heart with what happened between us, the relationship was dying and no matter how hard I tried to fix it, there was nothing that could be done. I just can't believe after all these years, she was slipping further and further away from me but what could I do? What could I have done to mend the rift between us, especially after losing our child? There was nothing more I could give her that would ever have been enough. 

I didn't feel too good after what happened with Nicole earlier the other morning, in the moment she and I were just having fun and I'm all about having fun but I already knew there would never be anything to come of that. As it is, she and I agreed to keep that our little secret, never to be mentioned again and I was fine with that. She and I are still on good terms, it didn't make anything weird or complicated between us so that's over and done with. If I'm being honest, it was nice to finally have some kind of physical attention, just a simple touch of the skin and a kiss on my neck goes a long ways and that's just something Vonnie and I hadn't had in a long while. I wish it had been Vonnie instead of Nicole that morning but it is what it is and I'm not going to think back on this. Definitely a moment of weakness that leaves me feeling down right awful and I shouldn't have done that. 

Do I even try contacting Vonnie again? It's either a text left on read or a call that goes to voicemail and I just want to know where the hell we stand because as of the day she left, we were done.... it wouldn't hurt to try calling her so here goes nothing. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and am now just waiting. It rang once and then it was about to ring a second time and to my surprise she actually answered the phone.

"Hello?" That familiar sweet and soft voice said into the phone when she answered, it sounded like she woke up not too long ago. 

"Hey, Yvonne."

"Hi, Chris. How are you?"

"Honestly, not good. How are you?"

"That makes two of us." I kind of figured.

"It's been a minute since we spoke but do you know when you're gonna come back home? Breezon is gonna ask be asking what's going on with us at some point and I don't know what you want me to say to him. Unless you've already talked to him." I said and I was trying to fight the urge to turn this call into a FaceTime call, I just want to see her flawless face, I miss this woman so God damn much.  

"I have to come back to the house today. I haven't talked to Breezon with what's going on between us, I just keep telling him you and I are trying to work some things out." Aw, she gonna come by the house today? I'm gonna stay home all day then, just to make sure I don't miss her. 

"Alright, I'll be here at the house. When were you gonna come by?"

"Probably within the hour."

"Cool, I'll see you when you get here." I didn't even bother hearing the rest of what she had to say, I was too excited to finally see her after what, a couple weeks? It felt longer than that but yeah its only been a couple weeks. I guess we hopped off the phone because I didn't hear her voice anymore and the phone was back on my home screen. Well shit, I'm gonna hop in the shower and get myself cleaned up, make sure I look especially good.
