I'm trying my hardest to control the rage that I feel staring at the man who is the main reason my daughter has been kept from me. The smug grin that's plastered on his face makes me want to wipe it completely off. How he enters his daughters property acting like he owns the place and talks to Meagan like she's beneath him, as if she's nothing but a piece of property to him. He's always treated her this way and this is one of the main reasons I've always despised him.

"Y/N, baby please calm down." Meagan pleads cupping my face in her hands now.

But I can't seem to calm down. If I tighten my jaw any harder I might break my teeth off. I know my blood pressure has to be through the roof right now and I'm honestly surprised I haven't had a heart attack or a stroke.

"Baby." She says and my eyes meet her own. All my anger vanishes at the emotions swirling around in her brown eyes. One look from her and nothing else seems to matter.

"Mom, what's going on?" I hear and turn my head to see my daughter coming out the back door.

"Skylar, sweetheart you've grown since I last saw you." Meagan's father says but Skylar gets this look on her face that I've seen her mother give only a handful of times. The woman is to sweet to have a mean bone in her body.

"Don't!" She yells holding her hands up not wanting to hear from him.

I notice the neighbors coming outside and I definitely don't want to draw any more attention than we already have.

"Why don't we take this inside, it seems we have an audience now." I say with my hand resting on Meagan's lower back as I guide us to the house. Skylar swings the door open and everyone follows behind her.

We get to the living room and I take a seat on the couch resting my hands on my thighs, trying to keep calm.

Skylar stands in front of me with her arms crossed over her chest and a glare on her face.

"I don't know why your here, I made it very clear that I wanted nothing to do with you on the phone." Meagan says staring at her father and the woman I have no recognition of.

"Meagan.." he starts but Skylar cuts him off.

"Why?!" She yells with tears streaming down her face.

My heart breaks for my daughter and I want to comfort her, but I don't want to cross any boundaries.

I watch the old man's face sadden at the sight of his granddaughter crying.

"I did it for your own good." He says putting his arrogant facade back up.

"That gives you no right to keep my other Mom from me. You had no right!" Skylar yells with tears running down her cheeks. Meagan approaches her and places her hands on her shoulders trying to calm her.

"I looked up to you! I idolized you, and you've done nothing but lie to my face for years. How can you look at yourself in the morning?" Skylar says as she wipes her tears.

"It's a sin, a woman should only lie with a man.." he starts and I shake my head not wanting to hear this bullshit anymore. He used to preach to Meagan and I all the time about how we are going to hell and everything else you can think a homophobic asshole would say.

I stand up from the couch gathering all of their attention as I walk back out the back door.

The neighbors have all gone back inside as I try to calm myself down once again. I want to rip his tongue out of his mouth so he can no longer speak. I've never hated a man as much as I hate him.

The more I think about the whole situation, the angrier I become and tears start to fill my eyes. It's something I can't control and I wish I didn't cry when I was pissed off.

I hear the door open and shut signaling someone followed me out. The wind blows and I get a smell of their perfume and I know who it is without even looking.

"I hate him Meagan." I say gritting my teeth and trying to keep my tears at bay.

"I know baby." She whispers and I feel her kiss my shoulder.

"All my life I've heard how I'm a freak of nature, and I'm tired Meagan." I say turning around and meet her worried eyes.

"I'm so tired." I say looking at her defeated. I drop my head to the ground not wanting to meet her disappointed face.

"Look at me." She says and I don't move.

"Look at me Y/N." She says cupping my face and making me face her.

"You are a gift from god, do you hear me? I don't ever want you to think otherwise. We've been over this so many times and I will continue to tell you what a blessing you are. To your friends, your family, to me, and to your daughter." She says and I can't help but let the tears fall from my eyes.

"Please, don't give up. Don't give up on yourself and don't give up on us. We need you Y/N. I need you, and so does your daughter." Meagan says letting a few tears of her own fall.

"I'm sorry I didn't meant to upset you." I whisper moving my hands to her face and wiping her tears.

"Don't be sorry for being honest with me. I want us to work, and we need to be honest with one another if that's going to happen." She says and I nod my head understanding.

"I love you." I say softly looking into her gorgeous brown eyes.

"I love you too baby." She says before capturing my lips within her soft plump ones.

"Please don't ever leave me, I couldn't bare it." She whispers resting her forehead against my own.

"Never." I say pulling her into me in a tight embrace.

"I know you have a lot to talk about with him. So I think it would be best if I headed home." I say making her pull away and look at me.

"But I want you here, you deserve to be here." She says sadly and I give her a small smile and cup her cheek within my hand.

"I know baby. But if I go back in there, I can't guarantee I won't hurt him." I say and she sighs sadly.

"Do you really want me to?" I ask with all seriousness looking into her eyes.

"Yes." She says and I release a deep breath.

"Okay." I say making her smile reappear.

"But I need you beside me to calm me down." I say and she nods her head. I grab my shirt from the porch and pull it over my body.

Meagan takes my hand within her own and pulls me back inside after her. We entered the living room and all eyes are back on us. My daughter looks at me worriedly and I give her a small smile.

Meagan pushes me to sit down on the couch and she sits herself in my lap. This is probably the best idea at keeping me under control.

"Now, back to why you decided to show up at my home after I clearly said I wanted nothing to do with you." Meagan says with so much venom I was honestly scared.

I've seen her pissed, but I've never seen her this pissed.

This should be good.
