Joey's POV
I took Brittany to school and dropped her off at the school gate I am so proud of her she is my world every time I look into those big brown eyes she squeezes my heart but she also reminds me of her Lauren.
The past couple of days I just can't stop thinking about Lauren it hurts all though we called a truce to move on after our break up I don't think my feelings ever went away.
Every day she takes them gorgeous kids to school in dressed in something very appetizing and I see how happy she is and I am beyond proud of how far she has come in life but, I hate it I hate that I still love her.
We have a parents evening coming up at our kids school maybe I could give her a taste of what she has been missing.
I better get home to Lucy, every man deserves a Lucy she is wonderful to me everyday she puts up with my ugly mug I really don't want to hurt her I do love her some way but, it's not the same as I love Lauren.
Lauren's POV
I was taking my kids to school like I do every day and again today Joey was in his car staring at me again I know I'm a hot mama but he doesn't have to stare we used to be so close but now he don't even say hello anymore
My kids are truly amazing so full of life nothing like me when I walk younger and Peter and helped me turn my life around he was there every day though my alcohol addiction so supportive a true friend and now my kids are all I live for honestly I am the happiest I have ever been.
I still miss him sometimes I think about him when I'm alone and how he used to look through my eyes and into my heart and it hurts that Joey don't say hello when I walk by he was the first person I fell in love but that's old news now I have the best husband in the world my Peter.
That reminds me we have a parents night at my kid's school maybe I could build some bridges with Joey get us talking again that shouldn't be hard, Peter can't come he's always bloody working also maybe I could get to know Lucy again been as she used to be one of my best friends.
The past is the past time to move on.
