Wow I've been gone a while, like two years?? I don't know, I was looking at the past chapters and how much I hated them, but how much you guys supported me even when my content was bad, so I got inspired to Continue, even though I'd don't watch Aphmau anymore. Also, I believe JJ is 6, Ruth is 4, and faith is 2, and two year olds don't act like that so pretend all those episodes ago after Faith was born was a 4 year time skip instead of two. Also I'm trying to be more descriptive with my writing, and that takes a long time, plus I'm running a channel and doing schoolwork, so I may not post as often, sorry! Anyways, on with the story. XD

Autumns POV
Aphmau: *Fixes dinner*

Faith: *plays dolls with Ruth*

Faith: We're going to be late to the ball!

Ruth: Oh no! Then we'll never live happily ever after!

Faith: *squints at door* yeah......

Faith gets up and walks over to Aphmau.

Faith: Mommy?

Aphmau: Yes Faith?

Faith: When is Daddy coming home?

Aphmau: *looks at clock* hmm....... it is getting late

Faith: :/

Aphmau: Soon.

Faith: That's what you always say

Aphmau: And that's the question you always ask

Faith: *groans*

Faith walks away from Aphmau and sits on the couch with a grumpy expression. Ruth looks back and forth at the both of them, shrugs, then goes back to playing. Little do they know something big was going on.

Aaron wakes up in a small bathroom, with Jeremiah right next to him, unconscious.

Aaron: Where am I? And what happened?

Aaron sees Jeremiah on the floor and picks him up. He heads towards the door and tries to peek outside of it, only to find it locked.

Aaron: heh, now I know how Aphmau felt all those years ago.

Aaron looks around to look for possible exits. Behind him, is a window.

Aaron: Sorry Jeremiah.

Aaron breaks the window by jumping through it. Luckily, it was on the first floor, so The didn't have to jump down and possibly get injured. Aaron took one last look at the house, and ran off into the thick summer night.

There was a knock at the door. Aphmau frantically runs to the door, to see Aaron waiting there.

Aphmau: Aaron! Where have you been?!

Aphmau looks down.

Aphmau: And what happened to JJ.

Aphmau returns her gaze back at Aaron.

Aphmau: And why are there all of these scratches on you?!

Aaron: nothing, don't worry about it, it's fine now.

Aphmau: Fine?! Aaron you we're gone 3 hours later then you should be, have Jeremiah unconscious, and have scratches all over your body! And your telling me your fine?!

Aaron: It was solved and I'm back home safe, isn't that the most important thing?

Aphmau: *looks at Aaron* Sometimes I wonder if you even care, Aaron.

Aaron: Aphmau, I-

Aphmau takes Jeremiah out of Aaron's hands and walks upstairs.

Meanwhile...

Faith: Ruthie?

Ruth: yes?

Faith: Why do mommy and daddy always argue?

Ruth: I don't know....

Faith: do they still love us?

Ruth walks over to Faith and hugs her. She then gives her a kiss on the head, turns of the light, and heads to her bed. They both fall asleep while wondering why things are the way they are.

About 30 minutes later.....

Aphmau hums a little tone while bathing Jeremiah.

Jeremiah: Momma?

Aphmau: Yes?

Jeremiah: What happened?

Aphmau: I don't know, your father won't tell me anything.

Jeremiah: oh

There is an awkward silence in the room, the JJ starts to talk again.

Jeremiah: also why can't I take a bath by myself?

Aphmau: because you were alseep and you don't know how to do it well.

Jeremiah: yeah I do!

Aphmau: whatever you say

Later than night, Aphmau tucked Jeremiah in, kissed his head, and turned off the light. She then changes into her PJ's and goes into her own room and turns off the light. A few minutes later Aaron walks in and turns on the light.

Aphmau: do you mind?!

Aaron: Sorry.

Aaron takes off his shirt and pants.

Aphmau: hmph.

Aaron: whats up

Aphmau: nothing I don't want to talk to you.

Aaron: Aphmau I don't tell you things for a reason. If we focus on the bad things, we won't be able to look forward.

Aphmau: *grunts*

Aaron puts on his pjs and turns off the light

Aphmau: you annoy me

Aaron: if it's such a problem then I'll just sleep on the couch.

Aphmau: Fine then! I don't need you!

Aaron headed downstairs. He was about to fall alseep when he heard footsteps.

Faith: Daddy?

Aaron: Oh, hey Faith.

Faith: why are you sleeping down here?

Aaron: Because mommy needs space right now.

Faith looks down with a sad expression. Aaron sees her discomfort.

Aaron: it will all be better soon, I promise.

As Aaron holds her, Faith fall asleep, thinking about how her daddy said he would always be there for her and that everything would be okay. And somehow, she believed and trusted in his words. Aaron on the other hand wasn't feeling the same. Even thought it seemed like Aaron didn't care, he did. He was distraught and scared of the fact that their relationship was struggling. And for Aphmau, the same went for her, but her love for the kids and her overprotective nature kept pushing him away. She was also very stressed. Work hasn't been paying much lately, and it all seems to be collapsing on her, so she throws her anger at Aaron. And Aaron just takes the blow, but for the rest of the week, it just gets worse. It just keeps getting more worse and more hurtful that one fateful day, it just burst. It was another argue meant with screaming and crying and things breaking until it came to a fast halt.

Aphmau: This isn't working Aaron. We both knew this day would come.

Aaron: Aphmau.....

Aphmau: leave Aaron.

Aaron: but-

Aphmau: JUST GO I SAID!!!

Aaron: Fine.

And just like that Aaron was gone.

Aphmau slammed the door, pressed her back against it, sat down, and cried. She had done the thing she thought she could never do, shut out the love of her life. Ruth, Jeremiah, and Faith looked out of the window in Jeremiah's room and saw their father walk out in the rain, convinced that their father was gone, forever. As Ruth and Jeremiah went back to sleep, Faith still stood there and looked. Out of all the three, Faith was the closest to Aaron, and it made her mad knowing that her mother had gotten rid of her partner in crime, her best friend, her father. Meanwhile Aaron walks in the rain, furious. He walks down the dark street when all of a sudden someone grabs him from behind.

After a while he wakes up in a basement. He tries to get free but it's no use, he's tied to the chair. Then a mysterious figure with a black mask comes towards him. He takes off his mask and reveals his identity.

???: hello Aaron, long time no see.

:O who is this person I wonder. Anyways hope you guys enjoy, love you guys with all my heart. Baiiii <3
