RICKY'S POV:

Avoiding Tegan was easier said than done; it was like she had a tracker on us. Wherever Brax and I went with Jacob, or just Jacob and I went she was. The supermarket, the beach, the swimming pool, the local café, the local arcade. Anywhere and everywhere…

"I'm so glad we're going home today" I admitted as Brax and I packed up the car

"Have you not had a good time?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow at me

"I have, but it's just Tegan" I replied "she's been everywhere. She's freaked me out"

"Well in half an hour or so we'll be out of here so you won't have to worry" he stated

"I'm not worried" I assured him "just, oh I don't know. Can you go see if Jacob's almost sorted?"

Nodding, he kissed my lips softly and disappeared inside as I continued to load the car, Tegan's presence startling me as I shut the boot…

"Hi" I greeted her "what can I do for you?"

"I just came to see you off" she informed me "where's Brax and your cute little boy?"

"They're inside. We're not leaving for a while yet so you've had a wasted trip" I replied

"Oh, okay. How about a coffee?" she suggested

"We don't have anything in" I admitted "we're going home soon"

"Oh, well tell Brax I'll see him around then, yeah?" she asked

I sighed and nodded, watching as she walked back down the driveway and out of sight…

"What did she want?" Brax inquired, making me jump "sorry, babe"

"It's fine. She wanted to see us off" I informed her "can we just get Jacob in the car and go?"

Nodding, Brax shouted Jacob who made his way out to the car, me strapping him in and climbing into the passenger seat myself as Brax locked up and climbed into the driver's seat a minute later…

"Ready?" he questioned as he started the engine, Jacob and I nodding our heads

Two hours later we arrived back in the Bay, pulling into the driveway of the house…

"Who's that?" I asked as Brax's phone sounded in his pocket

"Tegan" he sighed as he unlocked his keypad "she's coming to town to see her Mum"

"You are joking me, right?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him

"Nope, look" he replied, showing me his phone screen

"Brax" I sighed "what do we do?"

"There's not a lot we can do, babe" he stated "we're just gonna have to power through"

"She's your ex and she's following us wherever we go" I proclaimed "how can I power through?"

Brax sighed and pulled me into a hug. Tegan was making our lives a living hell…
