4:45 PM
Lesley, Enzo, and Mason lounged around Lesley's room on their phones when Lesley got a text from Lin.
Daddy🙃: Tell your mom that I'm going out of town tomorrow so you guys have to stay with V.
Lesley scoffed and closed the text thread. She hated that her parents talked through she and her brother. The fourteen-year-old wished she could go back to the day that Lin and Pippa fought and change the whole day.
Flashback
It was the summer Enzo turned three. The family had a huge barbecue for his birthday, and it was mad fun. The Hamily was there, Stevie, Lauren, and even Lin's parents showed up. Plus, of course, Vanessa and Steven by default. No one knows exactly what was said to screw up the whole party but, it went haywire quickly. Phillipa and Lin stood in the backyard by the pool as their relationship in general crumbled. "Are you being serious right now?" Phillipa screamed. Lin rolled his eyes and folded his arms.
"What? I think it's only fair," Lin replied. Phillipa shook her head.
"No. No! That's not happening! You're not taking my kids," Phillipa said. Lin plastered a smirk to his smug face.
"Fine. Then I'll take you to court," he smacked. Phillipa looked at him in disbelief.
"Are you fucking kidding me? You don't even see your kids! You leave all the time," Phillipa screamed. Lin shrugged.
"Either you let me have them every other day or you we can settle this in court," Lin said. Phillipa sighed and ran her hand through her hair.
"Fine," she screamed out of frustration. Lin smiled out of satisfaction. "Congratulations, you have officially made me pay for whatever it is I did, that you are still holding onto! Go to hell," Pippa spat. She pushed past her ex and walked into the house.
Real Time
Lesley huffed and got off of her comfort twin bed. She slowly walked to the banister that over looked the huge living room. "Mom," she called. Phillipa wiped her hands on her apron and walked behind the couch.
"Yes babe," she asked while she tilted her head back to look at her child.
"Dad is going out of town tomorrow. We have to stay with Vanessa," Lesley informed. Phillipa rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Thanks for the heads up," she replied. The teenager ran off to her room as the stressed mother walked back to the kitchen. "Unbelievable," Pippa whispered. Steven looked up from his laptop and noticed the look of sadness on his woman's face.
"What happened," he asked. Pippa shook her head and placed the spaghetti pasta in the fully boiled water.
"Lin as usual," she answered. Steven rolled his eye and went back to his script. No, I didn't want to talk about it. It's fine. Pippa mentally said. She sighed and pushed her attention back to the food for Reneé.

7:33 PM
Phillipa, Steven, Lauren, Stevie, Mason, Lesley, and Enzo sat at a small bistro in the heights. Everyone sat silently until Phillipa sparked up a conversation. "How was the first day," she asked. The teens looked between each other and stayed quiet. "No please. Don't all speak at once," Phillipa sarcastically spoke. Lesley rolled her eyes and went first.
"I met some new friends. They seem pretty cool," Lesley half smiled. "Enzo you should go next," She suggested. Enzo rolled his eyes and pinched his sisters side.
"Nothing happened. Let's move on," Enzo rushed. Phillipa gave him a weird look, then turned to Lesley.
"What do you know," Phillipa asked. Lesley side eyed her little brother and leaned in to her mom across the table.
"Well," she squeaked, "I saw Enzo with some girl after school and she was all over him," Lesley slipped. Enzo rolled his eyes and slapped Lesley's arm.
"I'm going to actually murder you," Enzo said through his teeth. Phillipa scowled at her son.
"Enzo Donovan," she warned. Enzo folded his arms and sat back in his seat. "So, who is the girl," she asked. Enzo shook his head and became very interested in his lap.
"No one," he replied. Phillipa gave her famous eyebrow raise.
"We'll talk later," she said. Enzo shook his head and rolled his eyes. Phillipa looked to her oldest daughter to give her some good news or anything after what ever just happened. "What about you, Ana," Phillipa asked. Stevie shrugged and moved her food around her plate.
"I'm up for partner," Stevie said. Phillipa gave her a smile that was followed by a look of confusion.
"Why aren't you more excited," she asked. Stevie shrugged and continued to stare at her plate."What the hell is going on with this family today," Phillipa asked. Lesley and Enzo glanced at Steven. He hadn't looked up from his phone since the group sat down. Stevie also glanced at Steven. It wasn't for the same reason as her siblings though.
Flashback
Stevie and Lauren sat at the table with five-year-olds Mason and Lesley, and four-year-old Enzo. She fed them dinner as Phillipa stumbled in the house drunk....again. She laughed and giggled as Steven brought her to the couch. "I guess they had fun," Stevie muttered. Lauren nodded and picked up Enzo.
"Come on guys. It's time for bed," Lauren urged. Stevie scooted out of the seat and let her son and sister jump off the bench. When she turned to take them to the stairs, Stevie witnessed her mother and Satan in a heated make out session.
"You could wait until we left the room? No wonder Lin wants to take your kids! You're are irresponsible," Stevie yelled. She thought Phillipa didn't hear her but, she did. In her drunken state, she still heard the hurtful words that Stevie spat. Although, for some reason she hadn't caught on that Stevie was only bitter when Steven was around.
Real Time
Phillipa sighed and pulled her hands from under the table. "Well, I wanted it to be more of happy tone, but Steve and I are getting married," she said. Stevie looked at her siblings then, back to her mom.
"Is this a sick joke," She asked. Phillipa gasped. Stevie rolled her eyes and shot out of her seat. "Lauren, Mason let's go," Stevie commanded. The wife and son of the anger mother sighed and sat their silverware down.
"Ana... come on," Phillipa pleaded. Stevie whipped around and held her hand up to stop Phillipa.
"No Lip...Phillipa," she corrected herself. "You are blind and I'm not gonna wait around for you to break," Stevie yelled. And with that Stevie left the restaurant. Lesley and Enzo looked at each other sadly. Part of them wanted Stevie to come back for them and the other part knew that they had to act as if they weren't bothered. The teens watched their mother cry on her fiancé's shoulder. The cringe that ran through their bodies could kill a cat. Steven was scrolling through his phone while he "consoled" his soon to be wife. A real gentleman. Lesley thought.

2:45 AM
Lesley lied awake in the room she shared with Enzo at Lin's apartment. She couldn't stop thinking about the engagement. The thought of her mom not with her dad scared her. She turned over and picked up her phone. The light almost blinded her, but the picture of she, her mom, and Enzo blinded her more. It was a Snapchat that she took when they went to Wasaga beach in Canada. Phillipa took them there to get away after she and Steven had a fight about none other than having a baby.
Flashback
Twelve-year-old, Lesley and eleven-year-old, Enzo sat at the top of the stairs in their old house and watched Phillipa slammed the door behind Steven. They, then, watched her slide to the floor in a ball of tears. "Mom!" They called, as they hopped off the step. Phillipa quickly wiped her tears, and stood up.
"Hey guys," she faked.
"Mommy are you okay," Enzo asked. Phillipa nodded, and forced a smile. "Do you still want to take a trip to the beach," she asked. The kids nodded, a bit uneasy at how fast their mom "bounced back". But, that trip was one of the best that they had in so long.
Real Time
Lesley placed her phone back on the bed side table and got up. She slid out of the bedroom, and walked down the hall to see her father. His head was in his hands. "Daddy," Lesley called. Lin looked up a held out his arms. The fourteen-year-old shuffled to her dads arms and sat on his lap.
"What's wrong baby girl," Lin asked. Lesley glanced at her dad's empty ring finger and teared up.
"Mom and Steve are getting married," she cried. Lin bit his bottom lip and pulled his little girl into his chest. He tried to not cry himself as Lesley's sobs filled the room.
"It's gonna be okay baby," he whispered. At least I hope not. He thought. Lin didn't want things to be alright between Steven and Pippa. He wanted it to fail so hard that Pippa came crawling back to him. It was harsh to say but, if Pippa came onto Lin, he would cheat on Vanessa in heart beat. The only reason he wouldn't leave Vanessa before then was because his pride was to strong and wouldn't allow it. Sad right?

8:45 AM
Phillipa sat in her living room with her best friends, Reneé and Jasmine, as they sipped wine. "Remind me why we are day drinking again," Jasmine asked. Phillipa pointed to the ring on her finger as she took another drink.
"Because my kids hate that I'm getting married," she sighed. Reneé gave her a sad look, but glanced away. "What, you hate it too," Phillipa barked. Reneé shrugged.
"Well, yeah. But, it doesn't matter what I think so long as you love him." Reneé answered. Jasmine sighed, and set her glass down.
"What the hell are you doing P," Jasmine asked. Phillipa looked at her weird.
"What do you mean," she asked innocently. Jasmine folded are arms and used Phillipa's eyebrow raise against her.
"Why are you marrying a guy who only wanted you to have a baby, is what I mean," Jasmine sassed. Phillipa shrank back in her seat and sighed. She didn't know why she said yes. Well, that's just what she told herself. The real reason she said yes was to make Lin jealous. She hated that Lin was with Vanessa, but she hated it even more when Vanessa was left alone with her kids. Pippa knew that Lesley and Enzo hated being with Vanessa when Lin was around. So, she could only imagine what they felt when he wasn't.

9:30 AM
Lesley sat in her lighting tech class with Brec as the watched their teacher, Mr. Swanson, talk about how the difference in colors can set moods. They weren't concerned about that, though. They were concerned about Pippa's wedding. "Say what now," Brec freaked. Lesley nodded and tapped her pen.
"Yeah and the best part was that she expected us to be happy," Lesley scoffed. Brec laughed and shook her head. "Yeah and Stevie flipped! She's not having it," Lesley finished. Brec rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Hey! Did you ask about this weekend," Brec inquired. Lesley shook her head with a sigh.
"I'm sorry. With this whole wedding thing, I totally forgot," Lesley explained. Brec shook her head.
"I know your only 14, so you may not be able to hang with us-"
"No. It's not that," Lesley interjected. "I'm sure my dad will be cool with it," Lesley quick added. Brec smiled and focused on her work again.

At the middle school, Enzo sat in the library with Danielle Jackson, when the girl from the previous day showed up. "Hey Enzo," she flirted. Enzo gave her a small smile and let her sit on his lap.
"Enzo," Danielle whispered. Enzo shrugged, and wrapped his arms around her waist. The actors daughter, rolled her eyes and got up. "I'll see you after school," she muttered. Enzo brushed off her attitude and smiled at the girl on his lap.
