Dave POV

It had been three weeks, Jodi and I hadn't fought anymore since she got her tattoos; we were getting used to the idea of being engaged and we were planning the wedding. She sold her house to her brother and bought a nice one near Tampa, near Mickie and John. She wasn't really talking to John and I wasn't exactly sad about it.

Jodi was planning most of it and I was glad that she knew what she wanted. We still hadn't discussed future children and I needed to talk to her about it. We had just gotten back to D.C and Athena was in the shower. She had gotten really close to Jodi ever since they met. Athena was going to be one of Jodi's bride's maids.

I was sitting on the couch and Jodi was finishing up the dishes.

"Baby, I want to know something." I told her and she looked at me.

"What?" she asked me.

"What's your dream?" I asked her as she sat down on my lap.

"Honestly, it's to have kids and a family." She said and I realized that she was going to make this hard.

"Baby, I already have kids, they can be your family." I told her and she looked a little confused.

"Dave, step children and don't get me wrong; I love your daughters, but I want some that come from me." She said and I sighed.

"Sorry, baby, I'm too old." I said and she looked really upset.

"Dave, are you serious?" she asked me.

"Yes, baby, you can have my family, but I refuse to have any more kids." I told her and she stood up.

"I don't see why this is a problem…" I told her; she should be willing to compromise.

"Because, Dave, this is my dream!" she said and I just looked at her. She had never gotten upset or mad at me; I didn't like it.

"I don't care! I will not have any more kids!" I said and she just looked down.

"I am glad that I figured out how selfish you were before we got married." She said and I just scoffed at her.

"I am not selfish; I just know what the fuck I want." I said and she looked at me. I could feel my anger rising; she was getting on my last nerves. I was going to end up saying stuff I would regret.

"I know what I want too; I want a family that involves me having kids." She said.

"Tough shit… we don't need them. I didn't even want the ones I have now." I said.

"You don't mean that." She said.

"Whatever, I don't know why I try, you are damaged anyways. I thought that I could make this work, but nothing that you are as dirty as a slut isn't sitting well with me." I said.

Athena POV

I heard everything and I was really hurt when Dad said that he didn't want me. I also heard Dad call Jodi dirty and I was now really pissed at him. I thought Dad was being childish and stupid. Jodi loved him and gave him everything he ever wanted; she had a dream, but he didn't care.

"I do care Dave it's my dream. You had your dream and you made it. I will accomplish mine." She said and I walked to the door frame and leaned against it.

"I don't care about your dream." Dad told her and she just shook her head.

"Dave, I'm glad I know that now." She said and walked into their room. I walked in behind me and shut the door. She turned and looked at me.

"Athena, sorry you had to hear that, but I can't marry your dad." She said and I hugged her.

"I don't want you to anymore; he doesn't deserve you." I told her and she packed all her stuff up. Dad was outside cussing and throwing stuff.

"Please don't stay here tonight." She told me and I nodded.

"Let me grab my stuff and I will take you to the airport." I told her and she nodded.

I walked out and Dad was livid. He had let his temper lash out and I didn't like him like this. I packed and I could hear Jodi out in the foyer.

"I am leaving." She told Dad and I walked out there.

"What? You aren't going anywhere." He told her.

"Dave, I can't be with someone who doesn't support or care about what I want. I love you, but that's not enough to keep me here." She said and I walked up beside her.

"You will be back since you haven't taken my ring off." He told her.

I watched as she slipped the ring off her finger, took off the necklace and bracelet he had given her and sat them on the bookshelf by the front door. Dad looked shocked, but he deserved it.

"Goodbye, Dave. See you in a few days and I hope that we can at least be civil to each other. I also hope that you are happy with whoever you find." She said.

"Athena, where do you think you are going?" he asked me.

"Somewhere that people want me and don't think I am just a mistake." I said and we both left.

I drove Jodi to the airport and she had already called about a flight to Tampa. I hated that she wasn't going to be around much anymore, but after what Dad had said, she didn't deserve to deal with that. I walked in with her and she got her tickets.

"I am so sorry that I am leaving this way." She said and I hugged her.

"Me too. Can I still call you?" I asked her and she smiled at me.

"Athena, you and I can still be friends." She said and I hugged her again. She was now like my best friend and big sister. She got on the flight and I went to Angie's. She wasn't shocked to hear about the fight and how Dave had blown up. She was just glad she warned Jodi.

Jodi POV

I got home around midnight and sat down on my couch. I saw a picture of me and Dave. I picked it up and looked at it. I ran my finger over the picture and my tear fell on the frame. I threw the picture and it crashed against the wall; I didn't care anymore.

I fell asleep around 2 am after debating to call Mickie or not. I decided it could wait until the morning and slept on the couch. I knew that I had a lot to cancel tomorrow because of the wedding. I got up around 10 am and I had missed a bunch of text and phone calls. They were mostly from Dave; they started out being friendly and ended with this being my fault and I was the bitch. Athena texted me and wanted to know if I was alright… I texted her back.

I cancelled everything and finally called Mickie that afternoon.

"Hello?" she asked me.

"Hey, come over." I said.

"You're home?" she asked me.

"Yeah, I need someone to go with me to get a tattoo." I said and hung up on her.

Mickie POV

I was shocked when Jodi called and told me to come over. She was supposed to be in D.C with Dave and Athena working on wedding plans. I just stood there looking at the phone; Kofi walked up to me and looked at me strange.

"Something's wrong, Jodi's home." I said and he looked shocked.

"What?" he asked me.

"Yeah, she wants me to come over right now. She is getting another tattoo." I said and he looked really surprised.

"Go make sure that she is alright." He said and I nodded.

I drove over there and went inside. Jodi had gotten rid of every picture of her and Dave; I was surprised.

"Hey." I said and I looked at her.

"Hey, you go with me?" she asked me and I pushed her back to sit down.

"We need to talk first; I want to know what's going on?" I asked her.

"Well, Dave told me that it was stupid of me to have kids, I wouldn't have kids if I was with him, and that he was surprised that he was still with me since I was damaged goods." She said and I immediately wanted to kill him.

"And getting a tattoo will help that?" I asked her and she shrugged.

"What about all the wedding stuff?" I asked her.

"I cancelled it this morning." She said and I saw cuts on her hands.

"When did you get home?" I asked her.

"About midnight, Athena took me to the airport." She said and I nodded.

"Jodi, it's going to be alright." I said and she looked at me. I had only seen her like this one other time; right after Justin died.

"No, it's not Mickie, I'm not you. I don't get fairytales, just nightmares." She said and I hugged her.

We sat there and talked all night. I didn't go home that night; I didn't want her to hurt herself or be by herself.

Kofi POV

Mickie had told me what was going on and I was shocked that Dave had said all that stuff to her. I was sitting at the house that night when John called. He was going to come over and I told him that Mickie wasn't here. He showed up an hour later with beer.

"Where is Mickie?" he asked me after about an hour of whatever show we were watching had gone by.

"She is at Jodi's." I said and he looked at me funny.

"Jodi came back from D.C after a fight with Dave. The wedding is off." I said and he nodded.

"Now you can talk to her again." I told him and he smirked.

"What caused the fight?" he asked me and I shrugged; I did know the answer, but I wasn't going to tell him. He needed to talk to Jodi and he could find out for himself.

John stayed over that night and I had fun just catching up with him. I couldn't wait to see John and Jodi in the same room now that she wasn't engaged. She hadn't spoken to John since she told everyone she was getting married. I knew that everything would change now that she was single.
