5 years laterMy palms sweat as I grip the starring wheel harder somehow I am nervous I don't know why I haven't been here for years I calm my breathing I will be fine he's not here.I get out of my car I walk the stairs of the Milton residence I am here for my father nothing else he's sick I am here for him.The doors open Juan stands there "Miss Laney welcome back " I walk in "since when do you call me Miss Laney " I smack him at the back Juan is the house manager around here i forgot how rich these people are "is anyone home " before he can reply Melissa walks in."Laney "she plasters a fake smile "Melissa " you look good I haven't seen you in forever you cut your hair " Yeah " I have been rocking a pixie cut for years Harley berry has nothing on me just saying " come to the living room everyone is there " I raise my eyebrow who the fuck is everyone.I walk in the large living room Cody and Emily run to hug me I haven't seen them in five years but I call them almost everyday they both tackle me I look at Cody who's already my height at fourteen he's 5'2 or taller "look at you" he smiles I kiss Emily in the cheek while I rifle Cody's hair."No hug for me Big sister " I freeze my blood runs cold I thought he wouldn't be home she lied to me I glare at Melissa but I turn around I look I see him he's nor longer a boy he's a man he's wearing a suits now ,the one he has hug his muscle frame he's bigger now his dark hair is trimmed parted looking like a business man he's nor longer wearing glasses as I see his eyes."Zach I didn't know you will be here " of course i will be here I had to cut my business trip short when I heard Dad's diagnosis " okay" a pretty woman steps in front of him I recognise her " Laney you remember me I am Stacey I am Zach's Fiancee " oh wow yeah it's been a while " "that's fantastic you sure you can't do better"I say with a fake smile, she just smiles back at me confused.Melissa clears her throat as Zach looks at me takes me in from head to toe "come kids Mona has prepared lunch " we all go to the patio where Mona has prepared lunch I still feel Zach's eyes on me.We sit we eat while we discuss Dad stage three colon cancer he's currently in hospital Melissa didn't want to take care of him claiming she didn't want the kids to see him like that knowing Melissa she's probably fucking the pool boy already."Are you staying in the house Laney ?" Cody asks me " uhmm no I already got a hotel" he looks down sad "I can stay if you want me here we can watch movies and catch up right Emily " she looks down "what is it ?" I thought you were bringing Blake " I choke on my juice spitting it out I recover enough to reply here "well I will bring him Dad wants to see him so I will go get him " she beams " I forgot you had a son " Zach's says "how old is he ?" I decide not to reply it because I don't want lie I kept Blake a secret for a long time before I could tell my Dad and siblings he was already three I don't have pictures of him on my social media accounts."Tomorrow you will meet him , he's with Alison he was tired from the drive so I dropped him off there " Melissa glares at me she thinks he's three his father is some basketball player I was dating which is lie Blake's is almost four and his father is sitting opposite the table looking at me with the same eyes as Blake.

Her eyes widen I am not that girl anymore.She takes a breath "you know all I did was to protect this family your father "oh please you did it to protect Zach "he was a child " I roll my eyes "is this what you wanted to talk to me about your psychopathic son who should be in jail " I just....I want....I guess I..."

LANEY"Talk " i say as I stand my ground trying not to show the fear that I am feeling at the moment he was unpredictable I didn't know what he's going to do ."So you had a baby after leaving me in the middle of the night " I try so hard not to laugh at the ridiculous statement "Are you serious? Did you just ask me that after you savagely attacked me that night" he steps closer to me his hand going up my face trying to touch me. I step back frantically looking around to see who's near."I didn't mean to hurt you I swear ,I just lost control but I can assure you i got help I am not a danger to you Laney I just want to talk ,you and I are parents I just..." He sighs stepping back putting his hands in his sweatpants pockets " I know I can never make up to what I did to you ,I can say sorry it will never change what happened I am really sorry ".He seems sincere but can I really believe he's changed can I really be around him after what he put me through. I move to sit down in the couch

ZACHAs I walk in my room I try to control the anger I have towards Laney after all these years she has finally comes back ,after she left without a goodbye a text nothing she never once called me but I will always hear she will be calling our siblings.I miss her so much it's hard for me not match in her room and take her where she stands ,she looks beautiful I never understood why she refuses to admit these feelings we have between us but if I want to keep her I have to go about a different way than last time.She and I have a son if she thinks she's going to walk out of this house with my child after she hid him from me she's in for a big surprise if i have to chain her in the basement I will. My phone rings as I see it's Stacey I have to break up with her Laney is back I am sure she's not going to appreciate the relationship between me and Stacey especially if we want to fix things between us."Yes" I answer my phone " babe I have been trying to call you since morning you okay?
