All I Want - Sequel

•Haz's Pov•
"Haz.. babe wake up." I hear Stass say as she nudges me awake. The sound of my phone ringing comes to my attention, and I roll over to grab it off of the bed side table. It's two in the fucking morning.. why the hell am I getting a call? I check the caller ID, and realize this isn't a call I can ignore until morning.
"Who is it?" Stass mutters, half asleep.
"It's Lia." I answer, and she wakes up instantly. I put the phone to my ear, and answer.

"Hey Lia, what's up?" I ask.
I can hear her sniffles and wheezes. She's crying. Something bad happened. Why do bad things keep happening to her..
"It's- he-" she stutters between tears. Poor thing..
"Slow down, take a breath, and then tell me what happened." I say.
Stass sits up, listening intently. I'm so happy my best friend and the love of my life are as close as can be. I hear Lia take a breath over the phone, calming herself down enough to be able to talk to me.
"It's Tom." She finally gets out. "He had Lydia over at the house as soon as I left. I got the notification on my phone. She went inside and was there for an hour Haz.. I think something happened."
No way Tom would be that stupid.. would he? I don't really know what he would do at this point.. he's been making some weird decisions lately..
"Are you sure?" I ask.
"Positive." She says.

Absolutely fucking not. He's not going to sneak around with his ex bitch and be allowed to get away with it.
"I'll handle this." I say plainly, hanging up the phone before she starts trying to talk me out of what I need to do.
"What's going on?" Stassie asks as I get out of bed, grabbing a pair of pants.
"Taking care of a mess Tom made." I answer.
"Haz, you can't just go over there and start a fight with him at two in the morning." Stass scolds.
"He had Lydia over." I state.
Her eyes widen, in complete shock.
"Well.. in that case.. fuck him up." She encourages. "But I'm going back to sleep."
"I'll be back soon.."

I head out to the car, and drive to Toms. I've never been so fucking pissed at him. He never acts this way, this isn't who he is. Lydia came around and all of the sudden he's become the same shitty person he was when he was with her. Something about her rubs off on him and makes him act different. I can't stand her being around for that exact reason.

I get to Toms house, and drive through the gate towards the end of the driveway. The lights are on.. he's still awake. That's even more odd because he's not a night owl. I guess it must be the guilt keeping him awake. Shitty ass person. I almost hate him right now. I knock on the door really hard, and soon enough I hear his footsteps approaching the door. I don't want to loose him.. but this behavior is far from okay.

"Haz? Why are you here so late?" He asks.
"You fucking dick." I mutter as I pull my fist back, slamming it forward until it collides with his face. He stumbles backwards from the punch, not ready for that at all.
"What the fuck?!" He exclaims, his hand clutching his face in pain.
"You promised to never hurt her." I state.
"Jesus Christ what did I do? everything between us is going to be okay." He mutters.
"You know what you fucking did!" I raise my voice at him.
He looks at me with confusion, like he genuinely has no clue.. is he seriously so dumb that he had Lydia over here and thinks absolutely nothing about it?

"Lia knows Lydia was here earlier." I inform him.
His face drops, and he goes pale. Okay.. I guess it wasn't a booty call or anything. Regardless, he shouldn't have another girl, let alone his ex girlfriend over at their house while Lia is in a completely different country. That's disrespectful and a little worrisome. Especially with everything going on right now.
"I swear.. nothing happened." He shakes his head.
"I'm not the one who needs to hear that. Lia is." I say.
He quickly grabs his phone from the sofa, and presses a contact, putting it to his ear.

"Hey, I know it's late I apologize. I need my jet ready in 30. Thank you." He says into the phone, and hangs up.
"The jet? She said she wanted time away." I say.
"Well, she needs to know she's my priority, and I can't get that across to her when she's in another country." He shrugs.
He begins walking down the hallway to his room to start packing some of his stuff, and I follow him. There's still one thing I need to know..

"Tom what happened with Lydia?" I ask.
He sighs, rolling his eyes with irritation.
"She's a raging bitch is what happened." He says. "She got all pissed that this wasn't going to go the way she wanted it to, and now she's threatening to not let me see my kid. I called my lawyer earlier, I think I'm going to have to fight for custody. I really didn't want this to get messy but she gave me no choice.."
Keeping his kid from him? That's a terrible idea. When Tom wants something, he will stop at nothing until he has it. Including his child. This is going to be messy, but in the end he will win because he's just the better fit for the child than Lydia. She's unstable.
"Okay but I need to ask.." I start. "Why did you let Lydia in the house in the first place?"

He suddenly starts to look guilty, and I watch his reaction closely. He did fuck up.. I knew it. Maybe he didn't sleep with her, but he did something wrong.
"I was upset, I was having a difficult time processing and dealing with Lia just up and leaving me. She showed up at my door and asked if I was okay.. and I just needed someone to talk to." He explains.
"So you call your mum, you call a friend, you call a fucking therapist before you let your ex girlfriend in your house and emotionally confide in her you dumb ass!" I yell at him.
"I know!" He groans. "I know it wasn't okay I just didn't think!"

I almost feel bad for him, but not really. At no point should he ever think it's okay to be emotionally vulnerable with any other woman. Especially not Lydia. He needs to fix this with Lia quickly. I just know she's sitting over in her mum's house freaking out and crying, thinking the worst.
"Lia deserves better than all of this man.. I get it's your kid, and I get that you want your kid in your life, but you still need to be a good husband."
He nods, obviously feeling guilty.
"Im going to fix this. I promise."
