Jonah had fallen asleep in my room when we got home. I had been lying there with him for hours, playing with his brown, wavy hair. I was in a trance; I don't know what just happened but it did. I felt good that I stood up to her, but should I have said anything about Vic and I having sex? I felt bad more for Vic's sake, not her. And, the fact that this happened in front of my son made me even more upset with myself. I was embarassed for losing control like that; for losing more control than I already had lost.

The covers couldn't keep me warm enough. There was no way I was going to be sleeping anytime soon. I got up from my bed and quietly walked out of my room, trying to carefully shut the door so I wouldn't wake Jo. When I turned around, the last person I thought I was see was staring right back at me, by my front door.

"What are you doing here? How did you get in my house?"

Vic walked a little bit closer to me, "You always kept a key under the flower pot, so I figured you'd do the same here, and you did."

I was frozen in my place, my feet wouldn't move. My breathing seemed to stop, my hands were the only things in motion as they were shaking with nervousness.

"What are you doing here?" I repeated my previous question.

He stepped closer to me, "Olivia Rose, you are something else you know? When you said all that to Amy today, I wasn't expecting that. Mainly because I figured you didn't care about me. But you know what? You do. 'Cause if you didn't, you wouldn't have told her to stop disrespecting me, and that she should be appreciative of how I treat her..." He paused and walked even closer to me. "I tried to get over you, I really did. But, these types of things don't happen when you're still madly in love with somebody. You don't just vent to your ex-wife about your annoyances with your girlfriend, if you weren't still in love with her. You wouldn't have sex with your ex-wife, if you weren't still in love witih her. You wouldn't write an entire album after your breakup about how much you miss your ex-wife, if you still weren't in love with her."

He took another step, and it was this step that made him right in front of me. He was staring into my eyes, he was breathing steadily. I on the other hand was a mess; my knees felt weak, I couldn't breathe, I could barely stand on my own two feet. Tears were forming in my eyes as he talked, but I kept silent. I watched as his lips moved together to form the words that we was speaking to me.

"Livvy, I just got done with a fucking 5 hour argument with Amy, I just made her get the fuck out of my house, and my life. Can you please say something?" His eyes begged for an answer. I knew what I wanted to say, but how would I say it?

"Vic..I..." I paused, letting the tears that were screaming for an escape, stream down my cheeks. "Why are you doing this?"

"God dammit dude, are you kidding me? I just told you that I fucking love you, I am absolutely fucking in love with you, Olivia! What more do I have to say? I dumped the Bitch and I came here to tell you that I can't live without you! Two years was long enough. I can't handle it anymore. I can't handle not being a family with you and Jo. I can't handle not waking up to you every morning. I can't handle not being here every single day watching Jonah grow up and raising him and growing old with you! Do you even love me back?" His eyes watered during his speech and he took a step back, waiting for my answer.

I blinked hard, the tears flowing as I nodded in response, "Yes. I am, I always have, and I always will be in love with you Vic."

He forcefully brought my face closer to his and crashe his lips onto mine. I felt weightless, I felt like I was spinning; like I was being brought up off of my feet so I could hold his hand and we could fly together. He pulled apart and looked into my eyes, wiping the tears that had fallen with his thumb.

I had taken a small step back, looking at the ground, "I hate myself everyday for leaving you. When it came for me to sign the papers, I swear I couldn't seem to find a pen. As soon as I handed it to the attorney, I regretted it. I just, I don't know why. I feel so stupid and I feel like I broke your heart so much more than I had even expected to. It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair to you."

He brought out his arms and wrapped me into a hug, letting me sob onto his chest, telling him my constant regrets, things I had never shared with any other soul other than my mother. "I would do anything, and I mean anything, to finally have you in my arms again, Liv. I love you so much." He whispered in my ear, still hugging me. I felt safe, I felt like this is where I should've been this whole time. I knew it deep down in my heart, but you can't get a stubborn girl to change her mind once she had already done something.

Pulling apart, he took my hand, and held it in his. He felt how shakey it was. I got chills at the touch and he slightly smiled. "Can we please work this out? Can we please fight a little bit harder than we did before?" He asked, not in a begging tone, more in an optimistic tone.

I returned the small smile back to him, "Nothing would make me happier."

He grinned wide, and let out almost a sigh of relief. He planted a kiss on my lips and moved a fallen piece of my hair behind my ear. I hugged him tightly, getting this feeling that things would be different this time.

--

Time went by faster than I had imagined, as it was already 12 AM. Vic and I were sitting there relishing in one another's presence. How would we even explain this to Jonah? However we did it, I was happy. I was happier than I've ever been in a long, long time. I rested my head on his shoulder and he rubbed his hand against mine. This felt like old times. This felt like it should've always been.

My front door swung open all of a sudden causing Vic and I to turn quickly. He stood up, rady to beat some ass if it were an intruder. Before drama insued, in walked my mom and dad.

"Why is everyone breaking into my house today?" I asked with my arms in the air. I walked to my parents and their eyes went to Vic as soon as they looked at me. My mom's mouth dropped a little, but it soon turned into a smirk. She loved Vic, she considered him her son the second they met. She always hated the fact that I filed for divorce, not giving it more of a chance.

"Well, Vic. It is extremely wonderful seeing you!" She walked up to him and gave him a hug. I could tell he was a bit nervous, I think he thought that they hated him once we had broken up. But no, it's not like he did anything wrong, really.

"It is!" My dad said, grinning. My dad loved Vic as well. Especially that he didn't have a single tattoo on his body. He was fine with the nose ring and long hair.

"Hey, it's been a long time Mr. and Mrs. Mendoza." He hugged them back. As soon as he said Mr. and Mrs. they gave him a strange look.

"Vic, honey, you know better than to call us that." My mom winked at me.

"Oh right, right. Hey, Marcy and Danny." He corrected himself, earning a giggle from me.

"How was Mexico?" I asked my parents, leading them into my kitchen.

"Great! We saw a lot of sights and things. I don't wanna talk about Mexico," My mom said grabbing herself a glass of water. "I wanna talk about this." She pointed at me and Vic, we both looked at one another and blushed.

"We're working on our relationship." I said, still staring at Vic. He nodded and smiled.

My dad commented, "That's great! I'm really glad that you two are doing this. It is better for Jonah. By the way, where is he?"

"He's sleeping, dad. He has a stomach bug and isn't feeling too hot." I answered, also drinking some water.

"The doctor doesn't want him to go to school until Wednesday because that's most likely where he got it from." Vic added on.

"Aw, the poor boy. Let me go check on him." My dad said getting up and going with him, Vic tagged along as they went to my room.

As soon as they left us, my mom shot me a glance and smiled, "I agree with your father. I'm really glad that you two decided to fix this. You already know how I feel about you two; y'all are so perfect for one another. Jonah is gonna love seeing you two together all the time."

"I know, I'm happy we're doing this too. You won't even believe the day I've had today with all of this."

"Oh, you two decided on this today?"

"Like, five hours ago, mom." I chuckled. "A shit storm happened today between me and his girlfriend, well, ex-girlfriend, now. Let's just say my last words to her were, 'Go fuck yourself, cunt.'"

My mom roared in laughter, covering her mouth because she knew she got too loud. "You said that?"

I shrugged, "Yes! I was so pissed. She was accusing Vic and I of having some sort of affair while she was gone for a week-"

"-Did you?" She interuppted.

I looked around, "Kind of."

"What?!" She said a little louder.

I nodded, "It just happened. We didn't intend on it to happen, it just did. Anyway, she gave Jonah, a five year old, the ugliest look I've ever seen and I wanted to stick her in the face. And, she was in fact, being a cunt to Vic and it pissed me off." I explained, and she nodded.

"This all happened for a reason." My mom was a firm believer in that. That was something she always told me as a kid. When I got married, when I got pregnant, when Vic went on his first tour; that was always her reasoning.

"You know, mom? I'm beginning to think you were right about that. I think we needed the time apart to realize just how much we kind of needed each other."

"I agree. There was a reason he dated that horrible girl. There was a reason that you and him were brought back together. And, Jonah is a huge reason."

I smiled, knowing she understood it. I didn't know what the future held for Vic and I, and I couldn't base my life on that; I just know that him and I truly do love each other, and we're ready to raise our son together, even if we are apart because of his touring and what have you. I had a different attitude this time. I was done being selfish about my relationship. I was ready for everything to work out and fall back into place.
