Driving to Jesse's house, I'm nervous. I have no idea if he'll even want to see me. I'm basing this on a few theories I've made up myself. Seeing the familiar roads I pull up on a random street. I need to compose myself before I get there.

"You can do this Montana. It's just a conversation" I mumble to myself. Deciding I'm too nervous I phone Andreas, he'll know what to do "Andreas I'm on my way to Jesse's to talk to him, am I doing the wrong thing because it feels like I could be" I say before even saying hello as I hear the phone call connect.

"Hello to you too Montana. I had a feeling this would happen. If you think it's the right thing to do, you should go"

"I did think it was the right thing to do but now I'm nearly there not sure. The more I think about it the more I think I'm talking myself out of it"

"Don't think about it. Go over there and get your man" Andreas says with a laugh.

"That's not why I'm going! I just think he needs to talk to someone, well that's the impression I got"

"I think you could be right. Get yourself over there Montana. He's not exactly going to be disappointed to see you and if you're nearly there it would be a shame to waste a journey. Come over when you're done at Jesse's if you want, if you're not too busy"

"Okay I'll see you soon. You're the best, love ya" I say before hanging up. Andreas is right. Something inside of me thought this was a good idea now I need to see it through. Arriving at Jesse's house I type in the code for the gate and to my surprise it works. "That was easy Lingard" I mutter to myself before getting out of my car and knocking on the door.

"Montana! I didn't expect you" Jesse say looking at me confused.

"If you don't want me here I'll leave" I say trying not to get distracted by the fact Jesse doesn't have a shirt on.

"No it's not that! Come in!" He says opening the door for me. The house is quiet, it seems like he's here alone for a change rather than having a house full of friends.

"Where's Anoushka?" I ask realising his little girl isn't here.

"She's out with mum and Daisy. How come you're here? I mean it's good to see you I'm just confused" Jesse says as we both sit on opposite ends of the sofa. It's not that long since I would've sat as close as I could now I feel like I'm miles away.

"I was worried. Sam told me about Dani and I thought about a few things you said at New Year and I was just concerned about you" I say. I came here to be honest with myself and Jesse. I can't bullshit about why I'm here.

"I wondered how long it would take for you to find out about that. I think it just got to the point where it went too far, she couldn't even come home for Christmas and that was the last straw" Jesse says and I can tell he's never talked about this, it's like it's raw for him.

"I'm sorry. That must have been awful for you" I may not be Dani's biggest fan but her not coming home to her family must've hurt.

"I was more bothered about Anoushka not seeing her mum than anything else but that proved to me and everyone around us that her career and Hollywood is more important to her than family which is why I'm seeking full custody. My daughter doesn't deserve to grow up like that"

"You're doing the right thing Jesse. I know we could say I have a conflict of interests but I do genuinely think you're doing the right thing" Whether I get back with Jesse or not it's obvious to everyone that he's better off not being married to Daniela even is she is the mother of his daughter.

"I'm starting to realise that and I feel like it should've happened a long time ago. I'm sorry you got the blame for everything. I know this hasn't all got out yet about the divorce but I know when everything came out about us they called you all kinds of names and you didn't deserve that"
