AFTER THEIR BIG ARGUMENT LET'S SEE HOW THE NO LONGER COUPLE DEALS WITH IT.


JAZMIN POV

A few days later after it was confirmed from both me and benny that we no longer wanted to be together anymore, we headed down to the courthouse to annul our marriage or in other words get divorced. Our friends tried to talk us out of it saying that it was just a little bump we were having in our life, but it wasn't working, they just had to face the fact like I did, me and benny just weren't meant to be anymore. I was a little upset about it but on the inside but I just tried not to show it too much. We drove down to the courthouse and even though they were totally against the whole idea our friends agreed to come with us for what I like to think of it as moral support. We waited in the loft until they called us inside, me and benny put gnomeo and juliet between us so we wouldn't have to sit next to each other, the whole time waitng me and benny just sat there glaring to the other not really wanting to speak nor see the other right now and again juliet and gnomeo were trying to talk us out of this.

"Guys are you sure you absolutely, completely wanna go through with this?" Juliet whined trying to make me change my mind.

"Juliet I know you don't want this to happen but let's face it, benny doesn't want me around anymore."

"More like you don't want me around anymore" Benny yells to me.

"SHUT UP!" I yell

"You don't tell me what to do!" Benny raised his voice standing up in anger, I did the same but gnome and juliet kept us apart.

"WHOA, calm down you 2 no need to turm this into something ugly" Gnome said pulling benny back to his seat and juliet did the same to me.

"I just wanna get this done with already" Benny snapped.

"Oh like I don't, being married to you is like being married to the living devil" I snap back.

Benny gets up again but gnomeo quickly sits him back down, which was smart of him. Benny still didn't know I was highly skilled in fighting from being a spy and all, and even though I was really unhappy with him I didn't wanna have to hurt him. This divorce was plenty of hurt for all of us.

"The sooner I get divored the sooner I get my happiness back" I whisper to juliet.

"You don't mean that, you're just upset" She puts a shoulder to me for comfort. It was true I was upset and I was beginnign to think this diorce wasn't such a good idea, but obviously I couldn't tell benny that because his mind was made up, he didn't want me and I surely didn't want or need him.

A few moments later they called us in. "Mr. and Mrs. Bluebury" The lady at the front desk called our names.

We both stood up and walked towards the door but not before we took a look back at our friends and then walk away. Inside the door we walk into a small room and wait alone in silence, since we were about to get seperated anyway I might as well try and make a last few words with him for the time being.

"So this is it I guess" I tried to usher a smile.

"Yep, I guess it is" He said in a low tone looking the other way. "But hey at least we had a good run" He somewhat smiled to me.

"Yeah, we'll always have those few years together" I almost laughed but I swallowed it back down before it could escape my throat.

Not long after the divore lady came back inside and we just stood there in silence again.

"So are you 2 sure you absolutley, definetly want this seperation?" She asked us. I looked to benny and he looked to me and we both had the same thoughts without a doubt.

"Yes!" Benny nods.

"Yes!" I nod too. I could feel a crack in my heart as if it was sinking like a stone.

"Well alright then just sign this and you're marraige will be over" She said handing us a sheet of paper and a pen.

I looked up to benny. "Uhm you can sign it first" I offered. He picked up the pen with a little hesitation and slowly signed his name on the line.

Then he handed the paper to me. "Your turn" He said holding out the pen. I looked between the paper and him was this really what I wanted to do? I mean I knew I still had a few feelings left for benny but I didn't know if he still did for me.

But I figured it out when he interrupted my thoughts because when he saw I wasn't signing he said. "Hey are you gonna sign it or what?" he says impatiently.

"I'm signing it just hold on, just trying to compose myself here" I said back just as harsh.

"Well do you wanna compose yourself a little faster you're wasting time I could be using not here with you" He said rolling his eyes.

"If I'm wasting your time so much then just leave you already signed it, there's nothing left for you here" I snapped.

"I can't go until you sign it, so pick up the pace and sign it already will ya, the sooner the better".

Now I know I was making the right choice. "OH YOU WANT ME TO SIGN IT" I snatched the pen right from his hands and printed my name right next to his big, bold and clear. I slap the paper rigth down on the desk and shove it back to the lady.

"THERE YOU GO IT'S ALL SIGNED" I snap in a harsh tone.

The lady looks it over and then stamps it making it offical. "There you go you are no longer married" She said putting our divorce paper in where our marriage certificate was.

"YEAH YOU HEAR THAT BENNY I'M NO LONGER YOUR WIFE ANYMORE" I stand and shout in his face as he backs up in his chair.

Then he stands up with me. "YEAH I'M SO HAPPY WERE NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE BECAUSE I AM THROUGH BEING YOUR HUSBAND" He yells back, spitting a little, my cheecks go red a littel and I jus stare at him. "AND AS FOR OUR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE!" He takes the marriage certificate and rips it into tiny strips and then puts the strips in the paper shredder and they get torn to almsot nothing afterwards.

"GOOD I DON'T EVEN CARE WHAT YOU DO WITH IT CAUSE I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE ANYWAYS!" I may have gone to far on that one cause there was a small gasp from benny and I just stared to him and then we both grew our angry faces again.

"GOOD CAUSE I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE EITHER SO YOU WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO ALREADY" He points to the door.

I grow more upset. "FINE I WILL, BUT BEFORE I DO!" I take my ring, pull it off my finger and throw it right back in his face as it falls to the ground below my feet. "AND THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF YOUR RING" I step on it hard until I hear a crack sound and the ring that holds the diamond breaks in 2 leaving the diamond all alone. I look back to benny who was looking to the floor suprised I did that and I was more suprised with myself too but I didn't care, benny meant absolutely nothing to me anymore and I meant nothing to him so what should I care about him anymore.

"GOODBYE BENNY, FOREVER!" I yell and stomp froom the room. I stop right outside the door and lean against the wall for a momnet trying to calm down before I went back to my friends, once I had calmed down enough I took a deep breath and walked into the loft with gnomeo and juliet.

As soon as they saw me they ran right to my side. "WELL?" Gnomeo said.

"I-It's over with, me and benny are nomore" I said with a ting of regret in my voice.

"You okay jazmin?" Juliet said putting a hand to my shoulder.

"I'm fine!" I said a little harsh pushing her arm off me.

"Are you sure cause we heard a lot of yelling in there" she said.

"That was just a litte steam we were getting out of our systems, but we're both fine, I know I am" I said grinning, trying to cover my slightly hurt feelings

Just then benny walked out with a tiny smile on his face.

"So benny how'd it go?" Gnomeo asked.

"Just perfect" He smirked happily. I would've thought he'd have been at least a little unhappy to divorce me but I guess not.

"I'd say so with that smile on your face" Gnomeo said a little more upset for me than benny right now.

"So I guess you guys are going your seperate ways now" Juliet asked.

"Looks like" I said.

"But what about your kids?" Gnomeo asked

"We thought of that already, benzin is going back to the garden with benny and I'm taking the girls with me" I answered.

"So you're selling your house then?"

"No jazmin's keeping the house, me and benzin are going back to the garden with you guys" Benny said. "You know just as soon as I go back home and get our stuff" He said.

"Well you wanna get a move on with it" I said to him. Me and benny drove back home and gnomeo and juliet follwed behind us. When we get back home the first thing that happened was that we were greeted by our four little children.

"Mummy, daddy!" The triplets came running to us and scarlett carried bennie in her little arms.

"Oh my little angles did you miss us?" I said taking bennie and kissing all 4 of them as benny did the same.

"Mummy can we all go to the park and play now like you promised" Benzin said smiling.

"Not now son, right now you have to go and pack your stuff" Benny said.

They all got confused. "How come?" he asked.

Benny and me looked to each other. "You can tell them if you want" Benny offered. We sat them down on the couch and I set bennie in her little baby carriage.

"Kids remember how we told you that me and daddy were splitting up" I said and they all nodded. "Well splitting up means that we're no longer going to be living in the same place together and part of a family splitting up means that the parents have to split up their kids as well and that means you kids" I explained as gently as possible.

"What are you saying mummy?" Fuscia asked holding her siblings hands.

"I'm saying that you kids have to be split between your dad and me, so benzin you're going back to the garden with your father and you girls are staying here with me" I said. They all gasped and shuddered in fear.

"But why?" Benzin cried.

"That's just how it is when tuff like this happens" Benny said.

"But daddy, I don't wanna leave!" Benzin started crying as he hugged his sisters and they all cried together.

"We don't wanna be split up!" Scarlett cried.

"Please don't make him go mummy!" Fuscia cried the loudest. The triplets had been together since they were born and other than violet and bennie, they were all the other had and it broke my heart to have to split them up, especially at such a young age as they were.

"It's not fair, I don't wanna go and leave!" Benzin was throwing a tantrum, seeing as how he had to leave and not the girls.

"I know you're upset but we're not splitting you guys up forever" Benny said to them all.

They all stop[ed screaming but they remained crying."You kids will still see each other, just not as much as you do now" I told them wipping their faces clean.

"Well, why can't one of you just takes all of us" Benzin sniffled.

"It doesn't work that way sweetie" I said.

"If mummy took all of you kids then I wouldn't be able to see any of you, and If I took you all you wouldn't be able to see your mummy for a long time. You kids wouldn't want to not see one of us would you" Benny asked and they all nodded no.

"No we wouldn't daddy" Scarlett said through her whines.

"Exactly, this way you kids will still be able to see each of us and we can still kinda be the family we are or at least were" I mumble the last part to myself.

"Now benzin go upstairs and pack your stuff now" Benny said calmly and he walked away and did what he was told.

"Girls why don't you go help your brother" I said.

"Yes mummy" the frown and walk after him.

"Guess I'd better do the same already" He said walking past me, I bump into him and fall forward but benny catches me by the waist and I twirl around in his arm and my eyes meet his I get lost in them for a moment or 2 until he pulls me back to my feet.

"T-Thanks" I said turning away.

"Sure" he shrugged and walked away, I saw a little red in his face when he said it but I didn't wanna say anything about it. I followed him to the room and watched him pack all his belongings in about an hour or so.

"Ready to go son?" Benny looked down to benzin who had two little suitcases filled with all his things.

"Yes daddy?" Benzin said really sadly. He turned back to his sisters who were still crying a little. "Bye fuscia, bye scarlett" He sighed.

"BYE BENZIN!" They both said and group hugged again once more.

"I'll never forget you 2, you're the best sisters ever" He said as he kept hugging his sisters closer

"And your the best, most sweetest brother we ever had" Fuscia cried with tears

"And the only brother we ever want to have" Scarlett whimpered holding both her siblings to her tiny arms.

Benzin walked over to the baby carrier and looked down to his baby sister. "Bye bennie, I'll miss being your big brother" he gave her a little hug and bennie smiles and giggled.

Lastly he walked over to me and tears appered in his blue/orange eyes "Bye mummy, I love you" He whined.

I picked him up in my arms as he started to cry again. "I love you too, you be a big boy, listen to your daddy and I'll visit you soon I promise" I cried with him and snuggled his warm little body against mine, I didn't really want to let go but I knew I had to. I set him on the gound and he rolled his little suitcases with him to the door with benny.

"Benzin go take your suitcases to the car with your uncle and auntie" Benny said. Benzin nods and walks with his suitcases in his tiny fingers.

Benny walks over to the girls and kneels down to them. "Girls, I may not be around as much now, but that doesn't mean I love you both any less, I love you and always will and I know you'll both be very beautiful and perfect young ladies one day, you 2 take care of each other, and I'll visit you all the time" Benny kissed them both and hugged them.

"We love you daddy" Fuscia said crying.

"I'll miss you and benzin" Scarlett said.

"You'll see him again really soon" Benny said with a smile and they kissed him back.

"Do you really have to leave daddy?" Fuscia said.

"Yes I do, but I'll always remember you, cause you have the sweetest faces noone could forget" He nuzzles both their faces to his.

"I don't want you to leave daddy" Scarlett sighed.

"I don't wanna leave you either, but this is best for both mummy and me right now, I love you both very much" He kissed them one more time and they let him go and statred holding each other crying.

Then he made his way over to bennie. "Even thought you're only a few months old I just wanted to let you know I have always loved you even before you were born, I might not be around for you as much as I want but your my daughter and I know you'll make me proud especially with your sister and mum here, take care of yourself bennie my sweet little baby girl" He kisses her and she grabs him with her tiny fingers again.

Benny stands up and waves to the girls and they wave back, laslty he looks to me and said this. "Well I guess this is it" He said not exactly making eye contact.

"Yeah, I hope we can still be friends...you know for the kids sake" I said shyly like he was a total stranger.

"Yeah we can do that" He semi-grinned at me.

"I hope you take care good care of yourself" I give him a half a second peck on the nose.

"You too" He gave me a friendly hug and then picked up his suitcase and walked to gnomeo and juliets car. He sits in back with benzin on his lap as me and the girls stand in the door way, benzin and benny wave goodbye to us and we all wave back. Gnomoe honks the horn to us and drives off taking my son and benny with them. The girls walk back inside with depressed faces and head right to their room while I sit in the living room and rock bennie in my arms. Once I was sure the girls were in their room I set bennie down and buried my head in a pillow and had a breakdown.

"OH GOD WHAT DID I JUST DO!" I scream and hit my head with the pillow repeatedly. "I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!". I know I said I hated benny and didn't want anything to do with him but juliet was right it was just the pain and anger that was talking to me. I had no idea how I was gonna cope with all of this and I was so devestated at that moment.

"Mummy" I hear a voice and look from the couch to see the girls again their eyes were red, from all the crying and they were still crying. "Are you okay?" scarlett said.

I sniffled "Oh yes, I-I'm fine honey, just a little upset" I cry again.

"Upset daddy left" She says again.

"Yeah that's it" I say.

The girls sit with me on the couch and I hold them in my lap. This was a big change in their life and I had to be strong if not for my sake but for theirs.

"Why did you and daddy split up? Was it because of us or something?" Fuscia asked.

"OH NO, sweetie I assure you this had nothing to do with either of you or your brother or sister" I gasp and talk fast-like. "It's just that me and your daddy had some issues and they kinda got out of hand, we broke up by choice not because of any of you" I explain rubbing their heads.

"When can we see benzin and daddy again?" Scarlett said.

"Not for a few days but soon, extremly soon I promise you that" I smiled and kissed them both. "I know you girls must be having a hard time with this now but you'll see that it's not all that bad and everything will be the same as before I promise" I hold them closer to me and they hug me back still baring a few tears.

"Hey I have an idea why don't we all go out for a girls night out shopping and such" I suggest.

"YIPPEE!" Fuscia shreiked. She and scarlett got off my lap and ran to their room to get their tiny little purses.

I walked over and picked up bennie from her carrier. "Come here my little baby boo" I coo to her and place her bottle in her mouth. She looked so much like benny and it bothered me a little but not that much.

"Mummy we're ready" Scarlett calls as she and fuscia run to my side holding their tiny purses on their shoulders like me.

When we came back home late that night I put the girls right to bed and went to my bed. I sloutched in my bed and put a hand to my chest, I stayed silent and felt my heart literally cracking by the second until it was finally broken apart. I got back out of bed and walked to my closet and threw my boots inside. I accidentally knocked over a little box that was on the top shelf of my closet and grabbed it just before it hit the ground. I carried it back to my bed and gasped at what was inside it.

It was the heart shaped glass figurine benny had made for me, back when he still loved me. I layed back on my bed and held my figurine close to my heart, at least I still had this to remind me of him.

"Mummy" I look up from my bed and see scarlett and fuscia, who was holding bennie in her arms and they looked so upset and tired.

"What's wrong girls?" I say sitting up in bed again.

"We can't sleep" Fuscia called out

"We're too upset about daddy and benzin" Scarlett said holding her sisters towards her.

"I know sweetie I miss them too" I said holding up my figurine.

The girls walk over to me and fuscia sets bennie on the bed before she and scarlett climb up and wrap their hands to my waist

"What's that mummy?" Scarlett said.

"It was a present from your father, a long time ago" I said letting a tear drop from my eyes.

"Mummy your crying" Scarlett looked to me.

"Yeah I'm just a little unhappy about your dad right now" I whimpered and sniffled.

"Unhappy because you hate hin or unhappy becuse you both split up" Fuscia said.

I looked at her in suprise, she knew a lot for a 5 yr. old, but then again she was my daughter and I was that smart when I was her age.

"It's kinda complicated to explian sweetie and I don't really wanna talk about it" I said sighing.

"It's okay mummy we understand" Fuscia hugged my waist again I hugged her back with a smile.

"Are you and daddy gonna be apart forever"

"We might not be but I'm not really sure if we'll ever get back together" I sighed.

"I hope you don't it's lonely around here with out the boys" She said burying into my stomach.

"It'll get better soon I know it will" I looked into her blue crystal eyes. "Now why don't you take your sister back to her crib and both of you go to sleep"

"We don't wanna sleep in our room" Fuscia cried.

"Do you wanna sleep with me then?" They both smiled and hopped under the sheets with me, I took bennie in my arms and layed her on my chest as I layed in the middle of my girls.

"Night girls" I kiss them both softly.

"Night mummy" They both said with a yawn. "If daddy and benzin don't come back at least we'll have you" fuscia said and closed her eyes.

It wasn't going to be easy raising 3 little girls on my own and it really wasn't helpful that I didn't get to see my only son for a few days while he adjusted to the sudden seperation as the rest of us. I knew it wasn't going to be easy but this was ust how it was going to be from now on and we all had to just make the best of it. Speaking of which I wonder how benzin was taking all this.

Benny pov

It was so great to finally be a free gnome again, no longer would I have to put up with jazmin or her keeping things away from me. I admit I still had a few feelings for her thrown around in me somewhere, but it's not like I would ever admit to it or anything. Jazmin was really great and pretty and everything but she just really mad me upset a few times and I don't know how we would ever be happy together if all we did was fight and argue with each other. I would always think of jazmin as a friend for sake of the kids, but she and I just weren't meant to be anymore, and what really concerned me is that I had left her alone with my daughters and I wouldn't get to see them for a while until things calmed down a litte. Benzin had moved back to the garden with me so at least I could still be with him but he was really starting to miss his sisters and I could tell he was.

"Benzin are you okay?" I said looking to him. He glared at me and turned his back to me and started to face out the window.

I sighed because I was dropping all this on him at such a young age. It was gonna take a while before this would get better. When we walked through the gate door the first to greet anyone was violet, when she saw benzin she ran from her grandparents and right to him, they shared a little hug and smiled to each other.

"Hey benzin" Violet said when we first walked into the garden. Normally benzin would have been jumping around and cheering but he didn't say a thing to violet, all he did was wave.

"Where are fuscia, scarlett and bennie?" She asked, Benzin just looked to her with a frown and walked inside the shed with his suitcase.

"BENZIN!?" Violet called after him but he just kept walking.

"Uh violet, benzin's been through a lot recently, it be best not to bother him right now" I told her.

"What's wrong with him?" She asked concerned about her cousin.

Gnomeo came up and took her in his arms. "We'll talk about it later sweetie just run along for a while" he said putting her down and she walked off back to her grandparents.

I shook my head a little and then just walked with my suitcases back to the shed. When I walked inside I got a shocking suprise; The inside was a total wreck and there were chairs knocked over and pillows tossed all around the floors.

"Whoa what happened in here?" I said dropping my suitcases.

Tybaly ran up to me and grabbed my hand. "You have to do something about your son!" He said to me.

"What? why?" I asked. Tybalt yanked on my arm and pulled me into the kitchen and When he finally let me go I dropped my arm in pain.

"That really hurt you know..." I stopped when I saw my son running around pushing over chairs, knocking down plates and pulling curtains down, or at least trying to anyway.

"Oh my gosh!" I said looking at what benzin was doing. When he came around close to me I grabbed him by his jacket and pulled him up in the air.

"What do you think you're doing?" I said trying not to lose my cool.

"Hey put me down!" He demanded twitching in my grip.

"You need to clean up this whole mess right now!" I tell him.

"No!" He said crossing his arms.

I look at him a little confused and then pull him closer to me. "I'm not gonna ask again, clean this mess, don't make me madder than I am" I grit through my teeth.

Benzin gets a little startled by how assertive I was getting. "Okay daddy, I'm sorry, I was just really mad is all" He apoligized and started flinching a little.

I smile and set him down. "Good boy" I said. "Now I'm gonna go put our suitcases in our room and when I come back I expect to see this place cleaned again, understand me" I said sternly.

"Yes daddy" He nods and starts to pick up all the chairs he knocked over. I nod my head and walk back to the door, I grab our suitcases and then drag them back into our old rooms, I set benzins suitcase in the room that used to belong to him and his sisters but now I guess this was his own room. I carried my suitcases back to my old room and looked around, since I had taken all my stuff when we moved it was empty except for the bed that was still there. I began to unload all my things back to where they originally were, in more than an hour my room looked like it was before only it still bared a lot of emptyness, it looked a lot more full when jazmin and i had all our stuff together but now that it was just my stuff there my room looked half empty, which was exactly how I was feeling, half empty, as if I was missing a part of me.

I don't know what was wrong, I was no longer married I was free to live my life single again, I should've been happy right? But I wasn't, I just didn't feel as happy as I thought I was going to be. Could the reason have been that I kissed jazmin.

"What!? That can't be true!" I said aloud

oh it's true alright

"Leave me alone will ya"

Just admit it, you miss jazmin

"No I don't!"

Yes you do, you acted like you hated her but you don't, you were just heartbroken she was actually divorcing you.

"I do hate her and I was the one who left her"

Why?

"Because she made me so upset and frustrated"

Why? Just because she wouldn't let you know her secret

"Couples shouldn't keep secrets from each other and if she couldn't tell me her secret how was I suppose to trust her with anything!" I argue back with my conscsious.

She must've had a good reason not to tell you, otherwise, why would she go through all this trouble to not tell you?

"It was probably nothing good, if she went through all that trouble"

why were you steady grilling her about her secret

"I was her husband she's suppose to tell me her secrets, I mean you don't see me keeping things from her."

true, but still if she didn't want to tell you you could've accepted her decision like a good husband does, even if you disagree about it.

"Ah, noone asked you anyhow. What's done is done already and theirs no changing it."

Maybe if you apologized to her.

"APOLOGIZE! for what?"

You're the reason she left you in the 1st place

"So what? If anything she should apologize to me"

why just for not telling you her buissness, have a little trust in the girl.

"I do trust her it's just..." I stop trying to find the words to finish.

Just what?

"It's just...I just feel like jazmin doesn't trust me when it comes to keeping her secrets"

Well do you trust her at all?

"Of course I do I still trust her just like I still love her" I gasp when those words escaped my mouth. "Wait what did I just say?" Confused at my own words.

Oh you said you still love jazmin doofus

"I know what I said, but why did I say it?"

because you still love her

"What no I don't!"

Yes you do, you still have feelings for her

"If I still loved her why would I divorce her?"

you did that out of guilt, you never wanted to leave her but your grief roasted mind kept you from stopping it

"I'm sorry who made you the boss of my own life?"

just admit it you love jazmin and you want her back

"I'm not admitting anything becuae there's nothing to admit too, so just get outta my head!"

deny it all you want, but you know you want jazmin back as much as she wants you back

"What makes you think she wants me back?"

If you saw the look on her face when she signed that divorce paper you'd know

"I doubt that, we split up for a reason, we don't need each other anymore, so stop trying to change my mind about it!"

I'm not trying to make you change your mind I'm making you come to your senses. And you can say what you want but you know you won't be happy again until you get jazmin back.

"Just get outta my head already!" I screamed. I waited for a response but my consciouns was finally silent again. "Finally some peace and quiet" I sigh to myself.

Now I could finally think for myself. I still didn't understand, I didn't understand why I couldn't get jazmin out of my mind, We were sepreated now and I was still pretty mad at her, but for some reason I just couldn't get her out of my mind anymore, and I couldn't see why I was pretty sure I didn't love her anymore and there was nothing about her I liked anymore. I mean jazmin was a great wife and an even better mother to my children and I still thought she had an adorably georgeous face, not to mention a smokin hot body and a voice that made all other men drop to their knees and...

"WHOA!" I screamed stoppong myself. I couldn't belive what I was saying but I was still thinking of it.

"Why do I keep saying all these nice things about jazmin?" I said to myself. "Unless" I gasped at what I was thinking to myself.

"Oh my gosh, I'm still in love with jazmin!" I say aloud to myself.

finally you came to your senses.

"I thought I finally got rid of you" I sat to my own thoughts and once again it kept quiet.

I couldn't belive it either, after all the things I said to jazmin and after all she said to me, I still found a way to love her. And this was coming from me, a lot of my friends, especially gnomeo, thought of me of the gnome who fell in and out of love with a lot of girls all the time, but for some reason jazmin wasn't like any of the other girls, she had something that no other girl I had before her did and even thought I didn't know exactly what it was, I knew she had it for a reason. Maybe that was the reason I ever fell for her in the first place.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out jazmin's ring, it had broken when she smashed it aginst her foot but I tapped all the pieces back together and even though it didn't look as pretty as before, it had deep value to me, because it was made for jazmin and jazmin alone.

"At least I'll have this to remind me of her" I sighed and layed my head against my pillow and looked up into the ceiling.

"Daddy!" My thoughts were interupted when I heard a small voice. I turned and saw benzin standing in the doorway.

"Benzin, what is it?" I said.

"I cleaned up my mess" He said walking inside the room.

"Well good, and have you learned your lesson from all this" I said and he looked to the floor and nodded.

"I miss the girls" He said with a bad frown.

I picked him up into my lap. "I know you do I miss your sisters too" I sighed thinking of my 3 girls without me.

"And what about mummy" Benzin looked up to me. "Don't you miss her?"

"Well yes and no, I mean after all that happened in the last few hours, it's complicated" I tried telling him.

"Why did you and mummy split up?"

"We just got into an argument, which now that I think about it wasn't really worth it at all, It just sounds to ridiculous that I let an agrument break me away from someone as great as your mother"

"So you do miss her?"

"Yeah I do miss her a lot, I mean a lot a lot" I sighed thinking of jazmin again.

"Why don't you just tell her your sorry for what you did and then you could be happy again?" He smiled.

"I don't think an apology's gonna fix this, plus your mum wouldn't take me back anyway, not after what I said to her" I sighed even louder and looked back to jazmins broken ring again.

"What's that?" Benzin said taking the ring from my fingers.

I take it back from him and hold it again. "It's...your mums ring" I moaned.

"It looks all broken"

"Yeah your mum smahed it because she was so angry with me" I sighed even louder.

"So why do you have it then?"

"To remind me of what I gave up" I said feeling a tear escape my eyes. Benzin stands on my legs and wipes my eyes dry for me.

"It'll be okay daddy, remember what you always tell me, you have to be strong in bad times, even when it hurts" He said trying to be the brave one now.

Benzin was such a great son, he was so much like me and even more like his mum, which really hurt because now he didn't have his mum nor his sisters here with him. All he had now was me, it was just me and him, a father and his son side by side, and I would try to be the best single parent I could if it made my son feel a little better about losing his mum and 3 sisters.

"You're a good son benzin" I said nudging his head.

"You're a better dad, dad" He said high fiving me once more. There was a knock on the door and I sat benzin down on the floor.

"Come in!" I said and my dear best friend walked inside.

"Hey you two?" Gnomeo said walking inside with violet at his feet.

"Hey violet, Hi uncle gnomeo" Benzin waved walking to his cousin again.

"Hello my little nephew" He said patting benzins head. "Hey benny you feeling alright?" He asked concerned.

"Sure why wouldn't I be" I said semi-happy.

"Well I just thought you'd be upset, after the whole divorce thing earlier and all"

"Well I was pretty upset and I still kinda am, but not as much as before, but I'm good now" I played off, but I was burning on the inside.

"Oh good to hear that" He grinned. "Anyways I was about to take violet to the park and she wanted to bring benzin along with her" Gnomeo said looking to him.

"Oh daddy can I go with uncle gnomeo, please" He begged.

I laughed a little. "Sure have fun kido" I smiled and he rushed over to hug my leg before running off with his cousin and gnomeo.

"I'll bring him back soon" Gnomeo said.

"Take your time, I need to be alone right now" I said befroe gnomeo walked away. I slapped my head on my bed pillow and buried my face in my hands.

This was going to be harder than I thought, I should've never left jazmin in the first place, now I had to raise my son all alone without my wife or my daughters here with me. I knew I was mad at jazmin and she was probably still mad at me but I really wanted her back, I made the mistake of letting one person I used to love go and I wasn't going to make the same mistake again, Especially when I was still in love with her and always would be.


So sad and touching that they still love each other after all they went through. Let's see where they go from here. until next time peace out to you all :D
