What is even happening right now?
First I find out this morning that someone has been ambushing every weapon deals for the past month now, so I have a meeting tomorrow with a few local gangs in the area to discuss this and hopefully get to the bottom of it.
Then Xavier shows up after months, no messages or calls, zilch. Like he had just disappeared and had the audacity to come home and order me around about our own children. I'm telling the kids whether he likes it or not, especially Mila, she is mine and West's daughter.
Also that letter off Noah, I knew he was back, I knew he didn't die in that explosion. I wonder if it affected his body and mind like mine. I now have a full sleeve tattoo on my right arm to cover the burns.
Vines intertwined together with each of my children's names on along with my dad's and two best friends. A dove symbol for Mila, a hunting symbol for Hunter. Obvious I know, and for Jackson, I had his hand tattooed on as he was premature.
There was a lot of stress during my pregnancy with Jackson, which resulted in him coming early but also meant I couldn't have anymore.
Then out of nowhere Caleb and Callum show up, just out of the blue. The last time I saw Caleb was was around fifteen years ago after Mila was taken because of his jealousy and stupidity. All I heard was that he moved away from England, and West never even bothered to find him.
Having Callum here is just so confusing, I never know how to act around him. My feelings are all over the place. The last time we were ever together was not long after I had given birth.
We got on really well like we did when we first met but one day he just left me, left everyone behind without a word. I've never forgiven him because he refused to speak to me and now he just shows up.
"So, erm, how's life?" I heard Callum speak up after five minutes of awkward silence.
I quickly glanced over then back on the road, rolling my eyes as I took a right turn a bit too quickly making him fly into the door.
"Real mature"
"What?" I asked innocently.
"You just made me fly into the door"
"Well maybe you should put the seatbelt on, and really, how's life? That's all you have to say to me after almost eight years?" I could feel myself slowly losing my temper.
Callum sat forward and took a breath, "look I'm sorry I left, I really am but I didn't really have much of a choice"
"You always have a choice"
"If you would just let me speak"
"So you can weasel your way out of this? You out of everyone knew what I was going through, the incident involving Xavier but you still left me"
"Couldn't have been that bad seen as you are still married to him" He said as he eyed my wedding ring.
I wiggled my finger and gripped the steering wheel tighter, "Because you left me and I still loved the idiot after everything but I've not been in love with him for a long time" The last bit came out as a whisper.
