jason nodded as she spoke, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration. he was fueled with anger, anger at finding a man here, anger at her being with a man, anger at this entire conversation. “that woman? that woman is my wife whether you like or not, mia! meaning she’s their step mother. you’re going to keep the kids from me because you don’t like her? like it or not they’re my kids too, amelia and you don’t get to take my right to have say in whether or not they come to my house.” the man shook his head, while he stood there angrily, practically glaring at the brunette. he understood where she came from, but surely she couldn’t keep them from coming to his house – that was their house too.
“the routine started when i went on vacation, mia!” he shouted back at her, “i’m sorry i don’t know your bullshit routine because it started when i went on my damn honeymoon because i owed her that!” jason continued, his eyes never leaving hers, “i stayed here. for you and for our kids. i promised her we would go a couple of months after they were born. i owed her that. she’s my wife.” a huff fell from his lips as amelia continued, “unbelievable. there you go again. your kids. your fucking kids,” the man nodded, there was nothing, absolutely nothing they could do or say after this. it seemed that the more they kept trying to make things work, the more they hurt each other.
“spend the rest.. did you tell me? did either one of us after that day even speak to each other about it?” he questioned, knowing the answer already. “we avoided it like the plague, mia. by the time that we decided to talk about it, i was already engaged. i didn’t choose anyone! i would have chosen you over and over again but we were both too scared to say anything and look where that fear has us! i love you. till this day, i am madly in love with you but what good is that now?”
there seemed no possible way to settle this and the only other alternative was something that he knew either of them never wanted.
“listen,” he gulped, his voice becoming softer as he came to the realization that maybe their kids was all the relationship they had now, “you and i – it just seems it’s never going to work out. you’re angry at me. you’re angry at gemma but those are my kids in there too..and no matter what i do or say, you don’t want them near her,” he paused, knowing that what he was going to say next was going to hurt both of them. her, even more. “i’ll see you in court then, mia.” jason finished, walking past her and towards the door, heading out of the apartment.
minutes after jason walked off (and mia stood silently, her mouth ajar in shock), finn showed up for his afternoon visit with the twins. amelia stupidly took this as a sign from the universe -- she deserved the last word and she was going to go and get it. throwing a few be right backs, and no explanations, in her best friend’s direction, she quickly grabbed her keys from the rack near her front door and left -- leaving all common sense behind.
in her car, mia drove haphazardly down the roads which led her towards jason -- it was a route she had taken more times than she could recount, knowing it just as well as she did the way to her own apartment, but something was different today. her usual calm and collected vibe had been thrown aside for something much darker -- if jason wanted to play dirty, well she was going to do the same. she had spent most of her life playing the role of the good girl; good daughter, good student, good friend, good girlfriend, good amelia.. maybe for once, just once, she wanted to be bad. she wanted to throw everything and everyone else aside to get what she wanted -- that want was no longer jason. it was the security of knowing her twins would be with her. that’s what she wanted.. no needed. and she was going to make that clear if it was the last thing she did.
spotting jason’s car ahead, amelia sped up. she swerved through traffic without thinking, putting the safety of herself, and all those around her, at risk until she was beside jason. she rolled down her window, prepping herself for what was to come.
“hey,” she scream through tears she wasn’t aware had started to fall, honking her horn madly. “jason ford!”
she looked back at the road in front of her, steadying her hand on the wheel before turning her attention back to her baby daddy.
“who do you think you are?” she spat, “you do not get to tell me you’re taking me to court and just walk away! we weren’t done talking yet! we won’t be done until i tell you we’re done! you need to pull over right now! jason!”
