My eyes shoot open and widen as the bed beside dips slightly, and within seconds I'm pulled gently into his chest. And my whole body relaxes into his.

I'm not shocked or surprised, I'm just relieved that he came back to me.

Earlier this afternoon when Oliver came over to my house, to give me an ass-kicking that I needed about what was going on with me and Scott.

It was then I found myself leaving my daughter with her uncle and driving to confess everything that happened to the man I love.

The moment I was driving over there, I was so scared that he wouldn't forgive me or that he wouldn't hear me out. And honestly, I wouldn't have blamed him, I pushed him away out of fear for my daughter, but it didn't make it any easier.

Once I told Scott everything, he looked at me and told me I was forgiven, that he missed me. It felt like the world shifted and my heart felt so much lighter.

I hated that his mother could go to such lengths to hurt me, and not just me but her youngest son. How could a mother do that? All any parent wants for their child is to be happy, even if you don't always agree with their choices.

My mother hasn't always agreed with my decisions or choices, but she's always respected them, she was there to pick up the pieces if they fell apart. And it's how I hope to be with Remi one day as she grows older. Because I am her mother and I will always be there for her.

But Valerie has just torn her relationship with Scott apart, my heart breaks for him because I know how much he loves his mom. And I feel guilty for it because it all came ahead when we fell back in love.

When I left his house a few hours ago to get back to Remi, I knew that it was only a matter of time before he went to San Diego, to his parents' house to confront his mother. Which I think he has and now he's back home with is, where he belongs.

"Where have you've been?" I ask him, pulling out of my own thoughts. I hear Scott's breathing as my head is on his chest.

I already know where he's been, and he knows that I know that. But it doesn't make it any easier because this involves his family.

"It doesn't matter, all that matters now is that my evil mother will never come between us again. she's out of our lives for good Elly-;" He says bitterly, shaking my head sadly.

"I'm sorry" I whispered while placing a small kiss over his heart. Looking up to meet his gaze, I see his eyes already staring down at me through the darkness of the room.

"There's nothing for anyone to be sorry for. I love you, always have always will" He began speaking softly,

"You're the love of my life, and I'm done with people and bad choices tearing us apart, you and Remi are what's important to me, it's us forever now"

Letting my eyes linger on him for a few more minutes before I pull myself up slightly and move my lips over his.

"I love you so much," I said against his lips,

"I'm yours Ella" He kissed me once again,

"And I'm yours" and I kissed him as he wraps his arms around me, never letting me go.

What I've learned about love since I was fourteen years old is that love changes.

My love for Scott changed from high school attraction to consuming, to comfortable.

And our love changed again to pain, heartbreak to unconditional because we created Remi out of our love.

Then once we reconnect our love change to something even greater, it changed to everlasting love.

Because no matter how many times our love changes.

Our love for each other will always remain.
