Trying to get back to normal...
Alex POV
Wait did I just hear what I think I heard?? Did Tobin just ask me to live with her until I get better? Where did this girl come from? I mean I could ask my mom and dad to stay here till I get better... no I don't want to do that they live in Cali I couldn't have them do that. I am not moving back to Cali ever... I mean it makes since she can help with Logan. What am I worried about she offered it..
"Are you sure?" I say to her with a smile on my face
"Yeah Alex" She walked over to me and sat in the chair.
"Well I mean that would be great as long as you don't mind?"
"Alex I really don't mind, you need the help and I am here to offer my help, and trust me it will be no trouble what so ever"
The door opens we both look over Perry was walking in.
"Miss Morgan we are going through all your paper work you should be able to get out of her in about a hour or two."
"OK... Great.."
Logan came running in "Toby.. Momma"
"Momma when do we get to weave?"
"Soon baby boy" I said to him
"Hey Alex did you see that we brought you some clothes for you to wear?" Tobin said
Wait when did she bring me clothes??
"Yeah I brought them the night you got here." she said with a smile
She walks over to a bag in the corner and hands it to me.
" I just pick something that looks comfy, we can stop and get some more clothes after we leave here"
I take the bag and smile at her and say "Thank you Tobin."
Wait how am I going to change? I guess I will try it by myself... No... too much pain today... I could get the nurse...
"Alex you uh.. um.. want me to help you get dressed? I mean if you don't mind?"
"Nonsense Tobin I would love for you to help me." I say with a smile.
"Momma you want me to help?" I started to laugh
" you can guard the door."
"Ok momma"
then he ran towards the door.
"So Alex how do you want to do this?"
" How about I stand up and then take my gown off, then we'll go from there" I say while I start move sit up and move to the edge of the bed She moves the curtain over then walks over and grabs my arm to help me sit up, then she puts her hand on my back "Here put all your weight on me" she said So I did. I finally got to my feet then we took my gown off and she was very careful taking it off, then she was putting on my bra, and she really didn't stare at me.
But her face was turning really red...
She clipped the bra, then she helped with my tank top she is being really careful putting it over my arm, then she helped with my sweat pants.
We were both just standing there and I took my free hand and I pulled her chin towards me and I looked into her eyes "Tobin thank you for helping me get dressed"
"Oh.. um... it's no problem" she said as she starched her neck.
I yell for Logan "Logan we are finished.. he came running over.
"Momma can we weave now?"
"Not yet baby."
Then two seconds later Perry finally came in, with the wheelchair.
"You ready to get out of here?"
"Yes, more than you know it"
Tobin grabbed all my bags then grabbed Logan hand.
"Come on buddy we are going to get the car for your mom ok?"
"Ok Toby"
As I am watching them walk out the door my heart skipped a beat, just watching the interaction between them... it's melting my heart..
"Alright Alex lets get you out of here.." Perry said
Tobin POV
Logan and I are about to get in the elevator.
"Hey Toby."
"Yeah lil man?"
"Can we stop at the gift shop and get momma a balloon and a stuff dog?"
I put my hand on his head
"You bet buddy, but we gotta do it quick."
"Ok Toby"
I never doubted that he doesn't love his mom but this little boy, he is melting my heart the way he cares about his mom..
We get to the gift shop and he runs to the balloon and a stuff dog, then he walks over to me.
"Ok Toby ready"
I pay for the balloon and dog, then we are walking out the door. Logan grabs my hand and we make it to my car we put all her things in the back seat and I lock Logan in..
"You ready buddy?" I ask him
"Yup momma coming home... momma coming home..."
Alex POV
So we are going down the hall. I am so glad that I get to get out of here.. I've been here for what seems like forever... I haven't been outside in what seems like forever...
"So Alex are you excited to get out of here?"
"Yes I can't wait, not that I don't love you guys here but I want to try to get things back to normal"
We finally make it outside, we are just waiting till Tobin gets here...
"Ok she is here"
I look over and Tobin gets out of a Electric blue Jeep Wrangler, wow that is my favorite car.
Tobin walks over and helps me in the car.
I look in the back seat (she has a boost seat.) and Logan has a balloon and a stuff dog then he hands it to me.
"Here mommy Toby and I got you this cause you get to go home"
I grab it and smile at him "Thank you baby"
Then I look over at Tobin and she has a smile on her face "Thank you Tobin"
"Tobin I love you car."
"Thanks this is my baby" she says as she hits the steering wheel.
We get to my Apartment and we all walk in, wow I haven't been here in forever, but everything looks the same except for all the mail that has been piling up, So I grab some clothes, then Logan ran and got some clothes also, were about to walk out then Tobin comes and grabs my bag from me.
"Here I got it."
Finally we pull up to this apartment I'm guessing its hers, Its a real nice apartment.
We are walking towards her apartment and Logan grabs my hand, he was just smiling.
Tobin opens the door, when I walk in I look up and there is balloons everywhere and a huge banner that says "Welcome home Alex"
I just start to cry.. this girl is amazing human being...
Wait when did she do this??
I am looking at Tobin and Logan and they both have mega watt smiles on their faces, I swear they could be related they do the same things.
"I know, um.. well it's not your home but yeah you know.."
Why does she get so nervous around me? I must admit she is so cute when she is nervous....
We were just sitting down to watch some television, when there was a knock on the door.
Tobin POV
There is a knock at the door, I really can't see who it is because who ever it is have their hand over the peep hole.
My face drops..
I open the door and am met with my ex.
"Tobin"
Why is she here? I don't need this!! OMG is she drunk??
"Skylar what are you doing here?"
She pushes me out of the way and walks in.
"SKYLAR!!!" I yell I can smell the alcohol on her.. grr I don't need this especially with Alex and Logan here.
"Skylar why are you here?"
"You mean you don't wanna see me?"
"NO" I yell...
"I've been trying to get ahold of you did you change your number?"
"Yeah I did.."
She walks further in the Apartment to where Alex and Logan are sitting just looking at us.
"Who is the bitch and little cutie?"
"I see you got a new piece of ass."
"Tobin she is hot!!"
"Are you banging her?"
"I guess you got over me finally over your funk, I guess it's true the way to get over someone is to get under someone."
"I must say Tobin she looks like she would be a great fuck.
This Bitch is going to get punched if she keeps talking like that ..
"SKYLAR watch your mouth and stop cussing and talking like that around the child. Also stop calling her a bitch she is far from one, and stop disrespecting her."
I look over towards Alex and Logan and Logan looks scared and he is hiding his face in Alex neck.
"Skylar you need to get out of here and never come back."
She is fucking laughing. and falling all over the place I am pushing her out the door and she is stumbling all over the place.
"Bye hot piece of ass." she shoots back towards Alex
"SKYLAR STOP!!!" Finally I get her out of the apartment..
I walk back into the living room I look at them..
"UM sorry about that... she was drunk.."
"Sorry she called you a bitch."
"Sorry that she kept cussing around Logan."
I'm really not looking at them now because I am embarrassed because they had to witness that..
"Tobin it's ok."
It's quiet for about a minute.
"Tobin who was that?"
Well they are about to find out some things about me right now.
"Skylar my EX"
"What happen?"
"Well she was the love of my life, she had my heart and then she ripped it out and broke it."
As I getting ready to tell them the story on how she broke my heart I am getting ready to cry,
Alex motions for me to sit next to them.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to or if it's to hard."
"NO NO I want to."
Do I really want to tell them? Yeah I do..
So my mom was my bestfriend we would do everything together, because after my dad pasted away my mom was feeling lonely. So she always wanted to do things together because my sisters were all moved away with their husbands, but I didn't care I really enjoyed her company, well she ended up getting stage 4 lung cancer, but it's crazy because she never smoked a day in her life. At first my mom was dealing with it ok, then she started Chemo and it started to get hard. I was trying to be strong for my mom but I was taking it really hard. She fought a tough battle, but it just got to hard for her to fight. My life consist of working, going to school, and then going to the hospital to spend as much time I could with her. Skylar was there for me a little bit but I really don't think I thought to much of her not being around while my mom was sick. I just thought maybe she was giving me space so I could spend it with my mom, because she knew how close we were. Then when my mom pasted away it's like Skylar became a ghost and I really couldn't figure out why. Then she broke my already broken heart.
"Tobin I think we need to break up"
"What? Why? Where is this coming from?"
"You haven't been yourself lately"
"You never want to hang out."
"You always mope around like a lost puppy."
"I would always ask you to party with me but you never would go"
"When I would come over you would only want to watch sad movies."
"I would even ask you to go to the beach and nothing."
"Skylar what do you want me to do my bestfriend, my mother passed away,"
"How am I suppose to be happy?""
You're my girlfriend you were always partying without me."
" You never once asked me how I was doing? how I was feeling? how I was holding up?"
"It's like you really don't care."
"You don't know how it feels to lose a parent wait two parents so you don't understand."
"You act like you didn't care how I felt."
"You couldn't even come to the funeral, you said you had to go out of town for work"
" I would do anything for you and you know it"
"But the one time that I need you to be there for me you turned your back on me, with a drop of a dime."
"How do you think that made me feel?" "
You said you loved me."
"We even talked about marriage."
"If you love someone you stick by them through good and bad times, you don't run when it gets tough."
"Tobin I want to be with someone that makes me happy, you don't make me happy anymore"
TEARS ARE FALLING DOWN MY FACE. "
"Skylar how long?"
"How long what?"
"Have you been cheating on me?"
"What?"
"I'm not stupid and I also wasn't born yesterday."
"You have hickeys on your neck and you have scratches on your arms, so I know they aren't from me because well the sex life is non existed"
"Plus the whole time you have been here you have been texting and looking at your phone"
"3 months."
"Wow no wonder you weren't there for me.''
"You were to busy screwing someone else.."
"GET OUT SKYLAR!!!"
"GET OUT SKYLAR NOW!!!!"
All I can do is fall to my knees and let out a loud yell and just start to cry... I can't speak... I can't breath... my world is falling apart.... not only did I lose my mother.. ,I lost my girlfriend... I lost the love of my life.....
As I finish my story, I look next to me and Alex had her head on my shoulder and she was rubbing my arm. I didn't even realize she did that.
"Tobin I am so sorry to hear that you deserve better than her she is a bitch,"
"Also I'm so sorry to hear about your mother and your father"
"That has to be hard."
Then Logan jumped off the couch and came up to me and sat on my lap.
"Toby I'm sowwy she hurt you, pwease don't cry" he said as he wiped a tear off my cheek"I don't like to see you cry Toby."
I didn't even know he was listening to my story I thought he was just watching television. but after hearing him say that all I want to do is smile...
I kissed his forehead "Thanks buddy"
Alex POV
Wow now I know who broke her heart... how could anyone do that to her??? I can't believe she came here drunk.... Was she trying to get her back?? I can't believe she lost both her parents and she is one of the strongest person I have ever met... I hate to see her sad.. Well at least she has a smile when she is around Logan and I..
"Toby"
"Yeah buddy?"
"You know what we need.."
"What?"
"Ice cream"
"Sounds perfect."
So we're on the way to the Ice cream shop and Looked over and she has that smile on her face.
When we got to the ice cream shop, Logan jumped out the Jeep and grabbed my hand.
"Ice cream.." "Ice cream.."
Shit I don't have money... wait maybe I do... no never mind I don't..
"Alright my treat" Tobin said
Tobin and I got a shake and Logan got chocolate ice cream with sprinkles.
"Thank you Tobin for the ice cream" She just winked at me "You're welcome Alex"
Logan moved over to sit next to Tobin.
"Thanks Toby." Then he stuck his little fist out to fist bump hers.
We are finishing up with the Ice cream and I look over at Logan and he has chocolate all over his face, but he also has a smile on his face because Tobin keeps trying to steal a scoop of his ice cream. So I take the napkins to wipe it off his face.
"Thanks momma"
When we get back to the apartment , Logan ran up to bed. I went up to his room and he was just getting into bed.
"Momma I'm glad we're here with Toby"
"Me too baby."
"Momma I'm also glad you are out of the hospital."
I tuck him in and kiss his cheek "Me too baby."
"Momma I don't like when Toby is sad"
"Yeah baby me either I like to see her smile"
"Momma you think Toby is still sad about her momma?"
"Baby I'm sure she is but we are going to do everything in our power to make sure she stays happy and we get to see that smile on her face."
"OK momma"
"I would be sad if I lost you."
"Well baby you have nothing to worry about because I'm not going anywhere"
"Alright baby you need to get some sleep, I love you "
"Wove you too"
I walk downstairs and I see Tobin getting some blankets and pillows out.
"So Alex you can take my bed, and I'll take the couch."
NO... NO WAY IS SHE GOING TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH...
"Tobin you don't have to do that."
"Well you can't sleep on the couch."
"Tobin if I am sleeping in your bed you will be sleeping in the bed too."
"Um.. I mean I guess if you don't mind."
Why is she so nervous around me???
"I don't mind it's your bed."
So about a hour later we head up to her room and we get ready for bed, I lay down first and then she lays down a little bit later. So we are just laying there, we are almost right on top of each other. but she is being careful to not hit my arm.
OMG her bed feels amazing.. well I was on a hospital bed for months anything would be more comfy than a hospital bed...
I start to shift and I sit up and lend up against the head rest then Tobin does the same things..
"Alex are you ok?''
"Yeah I am.."
"Tobin?"
"Yeah."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Do I make you nervous?"
"Um uh yeah a little.."
"Why?"
"Well.. uh.. um.. Alex you are beautiful and I get nervous around beautiful girls."
I put my hand on her arm.. I put a smile on my face...
Tobin you don't have to be nervous around me, I should be the nervous one."
"Why?"
"Because you are the one that is beautiful, and you have a beautiful soul."
"I'm a single mother and you actually want to be around us."
"Well.. uh..um..I love being around you guys" she smirk
I want to kiss her.. but I don't want to rush it..... I don't care...
I am looking at Tobin in her eyes.. I'm just staring at her, and she is staring also, we are both licking our lips, then we both lend in at the same time and are lips meet and I can feel the sparks when are lips are touching.
This feels amazing... We pull apart and I start to miss her lips on mine. Oh I want to do that again... I want to kiss her again...
When all of a sudden she cups my face, and she kisses me one more time so tenderly. She whispered "Your lips feel nice" she lends her head on mine and she says
"Wow"
"Just like I imaged it would feel like."
"Tobin I love your smile.."
"Alex I love your eyes"
She pulls me close to her, so I curling up next to her side.. She kisses my lips then forehead one more time...
"Goodnight Alex." "Goodnight Tobin." This feels nice... this feels right.... I feel protected... I can't wait to kiss her again......
