Lydia's P.O.V.

"Dia! Dia Honey you need to wake up otherwise you will be late for work," Aunt Majesty said knocking on the door, "Dia!" 

Groaning I snuggle into the covers more pulling Hunter closer to me, "Aunt May please, five more minutes."

"You can't be late again Dia," Aunt May said walking into the room she took the covers off of us, "Dia,"

Lazily opening my eyes I drag my body up careful not to walk Hunter up, "I'm up, I'm up," I sighed, "Could you watch over him as I get ready please?"

Aunt May nodded sitting down on the bed as Hunter slept peacefully, stretching my body I gave her a light kiss on the head before walking into the bathroom. My life has changed a lot. These four years...have been full of struggle and heartbreak. I never thought Flynn would kick the both of us out like that. I actually thought that he had started to fall in love with me, and started to care for Hunter...but being the idiot I am, I fell for him first.

Moving to Chandler, Arizona with Aunt Majesty and Uncle Noah was hard, I had spent my whole life in Boston and thought that Hunter would grow up there and be best friends with Cassie's daughter...yes Cassie has a daughter with Stefan, her name is Ocean. I couldn't have asked Cassie to come along with me, she had sacrificed enough for me over the years now it was her turn to live her life. I still talk to her, Hunter and her daughter Ocean talk to each other over Facetime every day, in some sort of way Hunter has this possessiveness already over her. 

I am still in touch with everyone back home except Flynn, he's too busy for us...with Amora. 

Anyway, It took a year but I got back on my feet found a job, and started to work again, at a hospital near our house. Hunter is still too young to go to school so he stays home with Aunt May and Harvey. Harvey has become an older brother to me even though he is a year younger...funny thing is in this short amount of time, this family has become mine...and it felt good. Uncle Noah has never pressured me to look into the Gang side, I never want to be involved in any of that ever again and Hunter will be staying far...far from all of it too. 

"Dia!" Aunt May called from the room, taking a deep breath I walked out of the bathroom plastering a fake smile on my face to see Hunter smiling at me. 

"Good Morning Mommy," He said showing off his cute little dimple, Hunter jumped off of the bed hugging my legs. 

Picking him up I give him a proper hug, "Good Morning baby," Taking a deep breath I walk over to the nursery where Valencia is sleeping...Valencia my daughter. Wait let me just rewind a little...that night when Flynn kicked us out, I had taken a pregnancy test in the morning...I wanted to surprise him that night, Cassie had helped me plan everything but then...everything went south.  

I had a year-old baby in my arms and a small life in my stomach that night I was banished from the Cloud Mansion. I knew if I stayed there  Flynn would have said some harsh things about the baby I had in my tummy so coming here to Arizona was the only thing that came to my mind. 

Now Valencia and Hunter are the only things that kept me going...I couldn't leave them in the hands of that monster, I would never let Flynn come back into my life, OUR life. 

Gently kissing her cheek I move away some hair from her face, quietly taking Dimples out of the room with me I shut the door. "Mommy, can I call Blue today?" 

Shaking my head I put him down, "I have to go to work Hunter, we will call Blue and Aunt Cassie later okay? But while I'm gone remember to keep an eye on Vallie alright?"

He nodded kissing his forehead lightly I helped him come downstairs where Uncle Noah and Harvey were having breakfast, "Good morning, Uncle Harvey," Hunter said smiling at him.

"Good Morning Dimples," Harvey said picking him up to sit on his lap, "Morning Dia,"

Quickly grabbing an apple I head out the door chuckling, "Good Morning to everyone, but I am running late as always so I will see you later." 

Uncle Noah shook his head, "See you tonight Dia,"

Giggling I ran out of the door only to see Brayden waiting for me in the car, "About time Dia," He said putting his sunglasses on, "I have been waiting for the past twenty minutes,"

"Sorry!" I said jumping in his car, "I slept in late, sorry."

Shaking his head he began driving towards the hospital, meet Brayden King...a close friend, because of him I got a job at the hospital here. Funny how we met actually I thought he was a complete fuck boy because of the way he introduced himself to me, he's a friend of Harvey, apparently, they grew up together. For the past four years, I have started to get to know him better, from the outside he definitely gives out playboy vibes but on the inside, he is a complete softy. 

"Hunter giving you a rough time?" He asked, Hunter, Vallie, and him have this amazing relationship, and he got close to him fast, Hunter called him his best friend aka Bray. 

I shook my head, "No, I was just having some trouble falling asleep, but it's not a big deal."

Brayden rolled his eyes at me, "How many hours did you actually sleep, Dia?"

"Brayden, like I said I'm fine," I said firmly not wanting to talk about my ongoing insomnia problem. Ever since I left Boston City I have had the same dream, the night Flynn threw us out, except he kept Hunter and left me outside of the house to root. "I don't want to talk about it."

Brayden dropped the topic as we reached work, "Thanks for the ride," I bluntly said before racing into the emergency center. 

I know Brayden meant well, I know Aunt May meant well, I know Uncle Noah meant well and Harvey...but the pain Flynn gave me no amount of love or time will take it away...Flynn taught me one thing whether I like to admit it or not. 

Being alone is a lot better than having someone with you because being alone there are 0 chances of someone breaking your heart and having someone there are 100 chances of them breaking your heart...so why give anyone a chance?
