ZACHARY DEAN🤠

hey can u open the door please

avery's knocked out

ya whatever

***********

As soon as zach opened  the door for kelsey, she felt the tension. It was thick. Zach's eyes  burned into the sides of kelsey's face as he watched her walk and place their daughter in her room

The two dared not to look each other in the eyes. they knew better. they knew it'd hurt too much, and deep down, they both knew their story was coming to an end.

Kelsey tip toed out of the baby's room and into the room she now  shared with zach. In that moment, she realized just how cold it was. Their apartment was cold and not home-like, it never was. She took her shoes off and sat on the side of the bed awkwardly, waiting for zach to say something, but hoping he'd say nothing. She was cold

"So," zach managed to cough out, "how was the beach?" their eyes finally locked as kelsey stood up from the bed and walked towards zach

"Zach I was gonna tell you i-" she started, choking on her words, "It was just me and some mom friends and i doubt you'd even wanna be there-"

"But hayes was there, right?' he stated sarcastically, his brown eyes burning through her hazel ones. She could hear the anger in his rising voice

"Yeah zach he was, because he was such a big part of Avery's  life and i know you wouldnt be able to handle that" she spoke firmly, "I was saving you zach i dont know why youre mad nothing even happened"

Zach's fist hit the wall behind him, causing their glass mirror to hit the floor, "ZACH are you crazy Avery's sleeping, you're gonna wake her up" Kelsey yell-whispered while walking towards him to pick up the mirror, scared of what he'd do next

"As much as I love you zach and love what we've gone through and how we've grown together these past three years, our journey," she started looking at the shattered glass then up to him, "I have to let you go zach, we can't keep doing this its not healthy anymore" she croaked out, going to transfer her clothes in the drawer to her suitcase

"I know it isn't fair or ideal or any of those things but we can't keep hurting each other and continue to pretend that it doesn't happen zach" she spoke, "Hayes gets me. He gets my past. He doesn't judge me and he provides for me and has a family who supports me and avery no matter what we choose," she stuttered out, meeting his eyes once again, teary this time

"He has nieces and nephews and a big family for avery to grow with and land for her to go explore on. That's all I want for her zach. A real childhood zach, dont you get that? Dont you want that for her?" the desperation in her voice now rising, "The hustle and bustle of LA isnt for  me and her anymore zach, you cant raise a family her-"

"Do i not have all those qualities Kelsey?" Zach yelled, interrupting her rant, "I was by your side when no one else was, kelsey, not even your mom"

"Do NOT bring my mom into this Zachary Dean" she screamed, tears brewing in her eyes, waking up their daughter and probably the neighbors

"Im not doing this anymore." Kelsey stated, walking into their dimmed living room
