"you fucking asshole! You came" Savannah ran to me pulling me into a fast grateful hug

"we were on our way" Theo said "hey baby"

"she's in her room" Marcus said

"I'll grab the spare keys" I said

"You know where they are?" Marcus gasped

"It's my house remember?" I said as I walked I walked to the living room

"hey mom" I said, she sat on the living room, papers in her hands, she was too focused on the papers as Bryce and Val played on the ground

"Oh hey son!" She said looking up, I kissed the top of her head and she gave me a smile before turning to the papers

"hey buddy"

"Axel!" He looked up "we're building blocks"

"Axy" Val said excitedly

"Hi baby" I kissed her cheek "I'll be right back okay?"

they both nodded before I made my way up, and I was followed by Savannah

I grabbed the keys from the office before going to her room

I knocked on the door slowly

"Go away Sav" Amelia spoke, her voice muffled

I unlocked the door and opened the door, she was laying on the bed, her head cuddled between pillows

she looked cute

"Sav please, go away I need to be alone" she said not looking up

"I'm not going anywhere" Savannah said "Mel I know you're going through some hard time but let us be here for you"

"I want to be alone"

"no we're not letting you"

"Sav please" she said,

"no babe" Sav shook her head placing a hand on her back

"everything is fucked Sav. Mom is back, she is back now. And axel is not here, I fucked up with him but I need him, I literally don't know what I'm supposed to do, I miss him"

"I'm sorry" i spoke

"UGH" she closed her ears "he's fucking everywhere!"

I tried to not laugh "I'm here"

"Sav next time you see that ass. Tell him to fucking stop coming into my dreams!" She groaned

Savannah laughed "I'll sure do"

"I need that idiot, can you let him know?" Mel said

"I know" I spoke

"Sav do you hear what I'm hearing?" She asked

"I think I do" Savannah said

"Wait what?" She sat up looking around

"hi" I said as her mouth hung open, she took a pillow and covered her face "did he hear everything?"

"I think so" Savannah laughed "I'll be out if you need anything" she left the room and closed the door

"hi" she whispered taking the pillow down

"how are you?" I asked softly

"I've been way better" she said before the place fell into silence, I looked at her face and saw her eyes looking everywhere except me

when her eyes met mine, I read everything quickly, I opened my arms and she hugged me almost immediately

my grip tightened around her, it was nice having her in my arms

"I'm sorry" we said together before a laugh escaped our mouths

"sorry for whatever I said"

"you were mad I get it, and I was just looking out for you"

"thank you to whatever you said to him, he was acting like the bigger person over there"

"we had some men-talk" I said

"and whatever I said, I didn't mean that. It was completely wrong so sorry"

"it's alright bubbs, you're going through a lot" I said "and may I know why you're locking yourself up here and not eating?"

"Im not hungry and I just want to stay alone"

"So should I leave?" I asked her

"No!" She said pulling me

I pulled her into my chest as we sat silently

"c..can you talk?" She whispered "I don't want to think because I know I'll cry" she said and I saw the tears in her eyes

"it's gonna be alright baby, let it out" I said before she let the tears fall out freely

"Why the hell is she back" she cried "I.. I'm scared Axel, what if she does something?"

"She won't do anything baby"

"I don't wanna see her"

"You don't have to, I'm here baby I'm here" I whispered "dad won't let her even come here, we're all with you"

"how did she get out?"

I shrugged "i don't know, but i know you're safe here with me and Bryce too" I kissed the stop of her head "and dad will be talking to his foster parents and they'll make sure he's safe, she won't know about them"

she nodded slowly before cuddling her head between my chest and arm

"I love you" I whispered

"I love you too" she mumbled

"should we go down and eat?" I asked sending her hints

"I don't feel like eating" she said

"please?"

"okay fine" she said as she pulled out from my chest

"let's go" I wrapped my arm around her and took her out of the room and went down

"darling how do you feel?" Mom said standing up from her seat as soon as she saw us

"I've been better Renee, I'm sorry"

"what are you sorry for?" Mom asked

"For everything that's been going on, you and Antonio don't have to deal with this all"

"that's not something you have to be sorry for" mom said her face turning serious "you're family Amelia, we care about you and Bryce"

"thank you" she smiled gratefully

"we made you something to eat, come" Lucas said giving her a warm smile

Marcus walked to her and pulled her into a tight hug "everything will be okay"

she smiled and I couldn't help but smile

"let's go and fill up that stomach of yours" Theo said pulling her from my grasp

"hey!" I objected making them all chuckle before following them into the kitchen

"can I some? I'm hungry" Isabelle said with a pout

"no bitch! Let her eat! You've eaten like 20 minutes ago!" Savannah said nudging he'd

"I guess she can" Mel said giving a soft look to Sav as Belle grinned

"thank you! You're the best" isabelle said before turning to Savannah and sticking her tongue making Mel laugh

"we'll be out" I said as the girls turned to me

"okay" Mel smiled before she Turner to her food

I sent a grateful smile to Isabelle and Savannah which they understood and gave me a slight nod

"I was just going to say that lets leave them alone" Marcus said as we walked out

"they'll make her laugh and feel better" I said

"What are you gonna do?" Theo asked

"not let her mother take a step closer to them?" I said with a shrug

"your dad will take control of it all, don't worry" Lucas said patting my back
