Vincent "This is Lakewood Gardens. Now it's gonna be like finding a needle in a haystack," Caleb sighed."We'll split up and ask around," I stated. Caleb's phone vibrated, and he checked his notifications. We were currently sitting in my car. Xavier was fully on board with finding Aubrey, so he came along. Caleb, Alex, and Blake were also there. Blake was pretty chill, and we got along easily. The rest of the guys couldn't be here, but they promised that they would assist in any way they could."It's a message from Haden," Caleb said."What does it say?" Xavier questioned."He said that he's taking the 'next step' with Ivory in their relationship. They are having an engagement party and we are invited. It's tomorrow, actually." "Huh. I wish him the best," I laughed."So do I. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but doing this is just wrong. Abandoning Aubrey like that is just pathetic. He can't be serious!" Blake exclaimed."Oh, but he is. Mom and dad aren't talking to him because of all th

HadenToday was the day of my engagement party. I got dressed in a navy blue tux and ruffled my hair a bit. After looking at myself in the mirror I smiled and grabbed my phone.Walking downstairs I greeted my guests. There weren't many people, in fact many of the people I invited didn't show up. This was heartbreaking. I texted Vincent even though he didn't want to talk to me. I texted all of my friends and asked why they weren't showing up but got no response from them, Caleb and Alex that is. I wanted them to be here. Only Derek and Nicholas came.Ivory came downstairs in a green sequin dress. Her hair was placed in a neat bun and she wore black flat shoes. She looked absolutely stunning."You look beautiful," I smiled as I pecked her lips."Thanks and you look handsome," She giggled."Is this everyone that came?" She questioned."Yes I'm afraid so," I muttered woefully."This is all my fault. A lot more people came to the party you and Aubrey had. Barely anyone came to this," Ivory

Aubrey"How are you feeling baby?" Anthony asked as he rubbed my back. I pulled away from him and turned my head. I was two months pregnant and I wasn't really showing yet."Can you leave me alone?" I yelled. I don't usually shout at people but he was pushing it."What's gotten into you?" His eyes widened."A life depends on me Anthony. This child is depending on me to survive. Now take a look around at the situation. I'm stuck in a room all day, everyday. I'm not free. When will this end?" "I'm sorry but I need you here. If I let you go you will run back to Haden."I turned away from him and rubbed my tummy. The baby bump was still very small but I could still feel my baby in there."Look, I'm gonna be here for you and our baby. Just tell me what you need," he smiled."I need you to leave me and my child alone please. Your presence is making me sick," I spat."So be it," he left the room with those words.This is not the life I had in mind for myself and now my hopes are wavering. T

HadenIvory and I had an amazing wedding. She wore a beautiful white dress and everything was perfect. Sadly, none of my friends came and neither did my parents. It was an awful feeling but I had to do what made me happy.I woke up to Ivory making pancakes. She smiled as she poured the syrup and slid the plate to me."Morning beautiful," I smiled."Morning handsome. Our dream has finally come true," Ivory beamed as she pecked my lips."Yes it has and I'm so happy we can start our life together." "And soon the baby will be here and we'll be the perfect family." I rubbed her tummy and kissed her forehead. Her phone buzzed and she checked it immediately causing her to frown. "Is something wrong?" I questioned."No, it's fine. It's just a friend. She wanted me to meet her, that's all," she smiled but I could tell something was wrong."Are you sure? The baby could come any day. Do you really want to go out by yourself?" "It's fine honey. I'll be okay. Let me shower and get dressed. I'll

Aubrey I breathed in the fresh morning air. The sun hit my skin as Vincent guided me out of the hospital. I will be staying at my parent's house for some time. I just need to focus on myself. Vincent helped me into my dad's car and made sure I was comfortable."Everything is going to be okay now," he smiled. "Thank you so much Vincent," I held his hand."You don't have to thank me Aubrey. I'm glad you're back. I never stopped looking for you and I'm sorry I took so long. I wish I had gotten to you sooner," He sighed."Hey, I think you got to me just in time. I really appreciate you Vincent." "I appreciate you too Aubrey and you know that I'll always be here for you," he kissed my forehead.A couple seconds later, we were on our way to my parents house."I'm glad you're back little sis. We missed you soo much," Emma squealed as she hugged me tightly."Ribs Emmy," I cautioned as she hugged me. I felt a sharp pain jolt through me because of how tightly she hugged me."Oh, right! Sorr

HadenTwo days later Ivory was able to come home. I took her upstairs and settled her and Damien into our room."I'm so happy to be home but I'm exhausted.""I'll go make you something to eat. What would you like?" I questioned."Spaghetti and meatballs." "Alright but I'll have to go buy some spaghetti. We're all out." She pecked my lips and sat on the chair with Damien cradled in her arms."I'll be back soon," I kissed Damien's forehead and left.I got into my car and dialed Vincent's number. I didn't expect him to answer but he did."Hey man. I need help with something. It's important and it has to do with Aubrey," I admitted, "Please."There was a pause on the line then he answered, "Meet me at Starbucks in 10 minutes."I really didn't expect that. I drove to Starbucks and ordered a latté while I waited on Vincent. A couple minutes later Vincent arrived. He sat opposite me and he had a really calm expression on his face."Haden, before you talk there's something I want to say to

AubreyThree weeks had passed since I was rescued and brought home. I've been seeing the same therapist, and let me tell you, she has been happy to see me. I spoke to her about the time I spent with Anthony. I really opened up to her about it, and it made me feel better.Discovering that Ivory was all part of the plan made me so angry. I can't believe that girl. When Vincent informed me of what happened, I was so upset. How could she be so deceitful and sick? I wanted to slap that bitch. The fact that the baby wasn't Haden's is sad. I actually feel a little sorry for him. But he kind of deserved it. "Aubrey, you have a visitor!" Mom yelled from downstairs."I'll be there in a minute." I tied my hair into a ponytail since it just finished drying from my shower and darted downstairs. Opening the door, I found a guy standing there. For a second, I thought it was Haden because they looked so alike, but he was slightly younger."Hi, I don't think we've met, but I'm Xavier, Haden's youn

Aubrey "So you'll meet me at the park in an hour?" Vincent asked excitedly."Yes, I will!" I gushed."I have a surprise for you." "I can't wait to see what it is," I giggled. It's been so long since I spent time with Vincent, and I missed him dearly."Well, I'll see you in a bit."After hanging up, I squealed with excitement. I wanted to see Vincent and just wrap my arms around him. My feelings for him have grown a lot, and I would love to tell him how I feel."What's gotten you soo excited?" Emma laughed as she entered the room."I'm meeting Vincent in an hour," I blushed, and she winked."I have to make you look amazing for him, and I'll watch Damien for the rest of the evening until you get back," she babbled, which woke Damien, and he began crying.I scooped him into my and rocked him gently."Awww, did Emmy wake you?" I cooed as I settled him down."You're a great mom," Emma smiled as Damien fell asleep."Now go take a shower while I pick out something for you to wear." I took

Aubrey While Damien was napping in the bassinet near me, I took some time for myself. I decided to watch a movie to get my mind off Vincent. Emma went home to her family and Blake is gone on a two week business trip in England. The door opened and my mom came inside. She looked extremely tired."Today was such a long day. I'm exhausted," she sighed as she sat down."Trouble at the company?" "Yes, but nothing I couldn't handle." "Where is Dad?" I questioned."He's still down there sorting a few things out. He'll be home soon."I settled for watching 'The Kissing Booth' and mom made some snacks for us.A couple minutes later the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," I walked to the door and opened it. My breath caught in my throat as I saw Vincent standing there with the same girl from earlier. "Aubrey can we talk?" He questioned."I'm kind of busy right now.""Please. It will only take a sec," he pleaded."Alright," I stepped outside."I'll be waiting in the car. Call if you need me," th
