I pushed Emily in the mop water and ran out of the closet. This dumb ass little girl just ruined my life and I know it.

I ran after Nevaeh for what seem like hours. She turned the corner then suddenly she disappeared.

I was talking to my grandma when Emily pulled me in the closet. She didn't kiss me. She just pulled me close when she heard the door open. I will never allow her dry cracked lips to touch mine.

I made my way into the dining hall only to be meet with Nova sitting alone at the table. She looked at me then threw her punch on my face. She grabbed all her stuff and left me alone.

I took a seat at the table and placed my head in my hands. The best thing that ever happened to me just walked out of my life. What's going to happen to Everly and Jordan? They've gotten very close to Nevaeh.

"Now that Nevaeh is out of the picture how about we head to a hotel?"

I looked up at Emily as she smiled. Dirty mop dripped from her clothes as she tried to act sexy. I took her hand and sat her down besides me. I leaned in causing her to close her eyes.

Once she was close enough I smashed the left over cake I found on the table in her face.

Before she had a chance to react I got up and left. After she just finished ruining my life she thinks I'm going to forget about the love of my life and pick her? She must be crazy.

I drove home in silence. It's unusual since Nevaeh is usually singing off key by now. When I got home it was also quiet. Not even a cry from Everly or the laughs of Jordan.

All I could hear was crickets.

The next morning

I didn't sleep at all last night. There's black circles under my eyes and my face is pale from all the crying I was doing.

I look like shit.

As I was getting ready to leave for school there was a knock on my door. I trudged to the door and opened it. Anthony was on the other side of the door with a frying pan in his hand.

"You better tell me exactly what  happened yesterday night. Nova was cursing you out all night because you broke her best friend's heart. I'm telling you right now that Nevaeh isn't a girl you want to lose. I can see that she's changing you for the better"

He said as he twirled the frying pan. Not in a mood to argue I opened the door wider and ushered him inside.

After I was done telling him what happened he put down his frying pan. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair while I did the same.

"You know what the worst part is?"

"What?"

"I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend that night"

I said as I pulled on my hair. This whole thing is just so frustrating. I rather be friends with Mark than go through this. Shit I rather get hit by her dad's bat.

I know that after this whole fake married couple with a child project is over we have to go back to being friends. I don't want.

"You have to fix this. When you get a girl like her you don't let her go"

I nodded my head and got off the couch. I picked up my school book bag that was on the floor and walked towards the door. Once I opened the door I was meet with a Neaveh's smiling dad and a six feet long bat.

"Hello Silas. I want to introduce you to my 'this fucker Silas broke my daughter's heart' bat. I've had It since I first found out about you. It might be dented by the time I'm done with you though"

I meant it when I said I would rather get hit by one of her dad's bat but not this one. It had bobbed wires and nails all over it. There was even spikes on some areas.

"Just let me explain"

"Since I promised my wife I would beat you with the bat five minutes after I come here I'll let you talk. But you have four mintues and twenty seconds left"

Since I didn't have any time to walk back in the house and explain to him what happened we just stood at the door. As I went on with my story he slowly lowered the bat. By the time I was done he sighed and put it down.

"Let me see your phone"

I handed it to him and he went to my call history. True to my words he saw that I was on the phone with my grandma for twenty eight minutes. The other calls were my ninty eight declined calls made to Neaveh.

"Silas I like you. You make my daughter happy and I can't deny that Myra and my wife likes you too. If by the time that I come home from work you haven't fixed this I will come back here and break your skull. Have a nice day"

He said with a evil smile at the end. I expected Anthony to be behind me but he was eating a bowl of popcorn on the couch.

"Where did you get that popcorn from?"

"I popped it while he was threatening  you. You must've been scared to death if you didn't hear me"

I shook my head and walked over to him. I took the popcorn out of his hand and pulled him off the couch. He shoved some more popcorn in his mouth before he let out a burp and followed me out.

As I was locking the door Anthony pat my back. I know he wiped his buttery hands on my jacket in the process. That dirty bastard.

I was giving myself a pep talk all through my ride to school. Anthony rode with Nova since she couldn't stand my guts right now. Being in the same car as me would've triggered her to kill me.

I thought I could do it but the feeling of her not being with me finally hit. I saw her standing by her locker with a see through shirt, a lace bralet, and a black skirt. She added her black purse and her black ankle boots.

She looks beautiful.

I stood in the hall just staring at her. I guess she felt eyes on me because she looked in my direction. She took her glasses from her purse and put them on. She closed her locker and swayed away.

As the day went on I kept on thinking about Nevaeh. It didn't help that she was in three out of the four classes I had. She sat next to me but didn't say a word to me.

Everytime I would try to talk to her she started bobbing her head like she was listening to music. I even tapped on her but she pretended to put up her volume.

By the time lunch came I left the school. I went to Jordan since I haven't seen her in a while. Her sleepover with Myra lasted about two days.

"Hi dad"

She said as she sat down. She squeezed me tightly as I rubbed her back. Since I'm her legal guardian I could sign her out of school.

I took her for lunch since she said she didn't have the chance to eat yet. Once I pulled up to Burger King she skipped to the front door. Food makes her so happy.

"I heard there's some trouble in paradise"

Jordan said as she took a bite out of her bacon and cheese whopper. How that big burger fits in her mouth is beyond me. I would've taken smaller bites.

"Yeah Emily ruined things between Neaveh and I. She doesn't want to talk to me"

I didn't want to get into detail about what happened. She's too young to know the full details. Wattpad already ruined her, I don't want her to be worst.

"I have a crazy idea. How about you talk to her but throw food into it"

I was going to protest but what she said actually made sense. I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. I messaged her and asked her to meet me for food after school.

Seconds later she texted me back with a ok.

At least she's not that mad at me.
