She left on a Friday morning. Her car loaded down with her belongings headed back to Austin. The only thing she had left behind was her heart. Pulling out of town had been the hardest thing Cheyenne had ever had to do. She wished she still drank, she would have downed a shot of whiskey for the road.Things had been different after she and Nick had returned from his cabin on the lake. Both tried to prepare themselves for what was to come but there wasn't enough preparation in the world to help either of them.Cheyenne had spent every night but Thursday at Nick’s house. He had ended up at the cabin with her Thursday after they had already said their goodbyes at work. One call from her and he had forgotten all about getting caught and went to her.Nick hadn't been able to handle her tears, he was horrible with tears. He usually just didn't care and lacked the correct response expected but with Cheyenne, he just wanted to stop them. He didn't want to be responsible for

Cheyenne had never been as nervous as she was now sitting outside of her dad’s office. Nick was in there now talking to her dad and although she had gotten him to agree to let her come he refused to let her inside the office. Confusion had been written all over Ed’s face when Nick and Cheyenne had walked in together. Ed’s face has fallen the moment he saw Cheyenne. “Cheyenne, what kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into now?”

He didn’t understand why she was ok with this. Cheyenne had no clue what she was getting into. Nick came with baggage. She was making a fool out of him and his business.Today however he couldn’t avoid her. Today she was sitting on the front porch steps waiting on him. Oh sure he could just back up and leave, refuse to talk to her but what kind of dad did that make him. He knew he had to face her eventually.As he approached her Cheyenne looked up and he could see the exhaustion all on her face. It was hard to be mad at her, she was his baby girl, but he was so disappointed in her. He had raised her to be so much better than this.Sitting down beside her he took a

He was giving his only daughter away to his best friend.After Nick's talk with Ed, he has moved on to Lindsey. She had acted just as he had expected she would. She went ballistic and drug Nick back to court. Things however didn't work out the way she wanted. She had gone after more money and Nick had gone after more visitation rights. In Lindsey's pursuit of more money, she had succeeded but fell short at the same time. Nick had to pay her an additional 500 a month but he now only had to pay half of Tate's cell phone bill and extracurricular activities. Nick had won more time with Tate in the summer months when he wasn't at school.Lindsey still talked plenty of shit but in the end, there was nothing she could do. As much as she tried to bad mouth Cheyenne and Nick to Tate it was all to
