Driving back to Huntington Beach was a complete mess I mean I had so much on my mind that I can't keep my own thoughts to myself because I don't know what I'm thinking about Brian and Abel have been on my mind since I took off for upstate New York two weeks ago and I know that so much has changed since I left I wanted to sit in my car and cry but I'm an adult and I need to keep it together for my family I pulled into my driveway to find a bouquet of roses on my front porch I carried them inside and sat them down on the table and I washed up and slipped into my bugs bunny pajamas these entire two weeks has been a curse and a cure describing those two things are just like making a sandwich.

I pulled out my cellphone and I had one message from Brian and twelve text messages from Alison she wanted to meet up and catch up on life I honestly wanted to just relax and forget about everything so I invited her over to my place Alison was my best friend from back home she was always there to talk to when I needed someone but when my home life had gone from bad to worse in a matter of a month she welcomed in her home and we have been close ever since I heard a red mustang pull up in my driveway Alison has definitely changed since I left she had gained 12 pounds she looks so pale and she was carrying in a diaper bag... She's pregnant again? I thought to myself. She walked up and smiled at me I knew she was up to her old games again.

"Hey Ali how are you ? I smiled

"I'm great you look amazing post pregnancy has treated you well." Alison replied

"Oh and I see your growing like an elephant." I laughed.

"Looks who's talking Ms. leaves town without a goodbye." Alison playfully shoved me.

"I had to leave I needed a break." I said closing the door behind me.

"A break from this amazing life your living ?" Alison asked.

"It's more than that." I replied.

"Want to talk about it ?" Ali asked

"Maybe some other time." I sighed.

"Okay." Alison took a sip of her water.

I walked into the kitchen to make Abel another bottle before I just lay all of my feelings and emotions out on the table I walked upstairs and down the hallway to find Abel crying his eyes out I knew just the trick to make him stop crying I sang a little bit of Just Breathe by Pearl Jam and he stopped crying instantly before laying Abel down in his crib I could hear the sound of glass breaking and screaming coming from downstairs either way Alison must be on her drunken adventures again so I didn't worry about it I ran downstairs to find Alison's blood and her red stilettos across the room... What the hell is happening here ? I thought to myself.

My instant reaction was to call 911 but I called someone else who handles these situations better than the Huntington Beach Police Department I dialed Alison's boyfriend Christian because he's better in these situations than anyone else I know.

Cleveland Ohio 6:20pm.
"Brian dude wake up and get your shit together!" Matt yelled.

"I'm awake dad do you have any actual questions or can I get back to sleep ? Brian asked

"You're being a jackass right now and I don't have time for your childish games." Matt turned back to the computer screen and ignored Brian for the rest of the evening. Zack and Johnny were busy on their phones to notice Matt looking up lingerie which confused all three of them but they weren't going to ask any questions after the package arrives. Brian called Emma the night before they were set to hit the stage he missed the sound of her voice but he knew that she was still mad at him after their argument. So he left a series of sad voicemails.

Voicemail #1
I miss you so much I know you're still mad at me but I love you and Abel so much please call me as soon as you can.

Voicemail #2
Since you are not answering my calls I'm off to get drunk and get laid by a stripper I don't need you!

Voicemail #3
I miss you I need you here with me let's get married right now just you and me I love you.

Third Person POV
Brian had woken up in a dirt motel room with a little bit of the sun shining through the half way broken window Brian had a big headache and smelled like booze we walked into the bathroom to wash up when he saw that there was a note and a decent breakfast waiting for him on the table he had no idea what happened or how he ended up in a dump like this but he needs to get home to Emma and work things out. The note reads as follows :

Had a fun time last night hope to do it again soon see you around Haner
-Sabrina

Brian saw that Sabrina had left a pack of cigarettes on the table Brian picked them up and put them into his pocket before getting into his truck and driving off to his house and hoping to see the love of his life standing by the door but what he saw horrified him and would turn his world upside down in a matter of minutes.
