I stand there reading the number 224. My heart bounding and Adrenalin bumping through my body. I turn away knowing I shouldn't be here.. I know I won't be able to control my range. I quickly turn back as I pound on the door.

"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! Dam it!"

I watch the door swing open as I see the figure oh you have to be kidding me

"Zay!?" I hell as I watch his eyes widen

"Charlie?! Dude!? What the heck are you doing here" he says eyeing me

"How the hell did you know we're I live!?"

"Zay who's at the do-"

I watch as Lucas face hardens as he clenches his fist "what the yell do you want!" He hiss

"Dude! It's Charlie!" Zay says smiling patting my shoulder

"Oh you mean the family stealer!" He hisses

I roll my eyes "oh shut the fuck up friar! This is all your fault!"

He lunges toward me as Zay quickly pushes him back making him stubble

"What the heck Lucas? It's Charlie! We were best buds" he says bring me in

"For like a day! Before he moved!" He says glaring at me

"And I'm glad I did! Because it lead me right where I am today!" I yell

"Can y'all stop the yelling!? What the heck is going on" Zay say looking between us

"Look friar! I let the dam truth come out and that's it! You got it! Stay away from her!" I hiss moving closer to him

He smirks "please Gardner! You don't scare me!"

"Excuse me! I'm still here! What the hell" Zay says

"She's my kid and my wife so back off!" I hiss

"What the hell!? You have another kid? What the hell Lucas" zay says pushing Lucas back

"Zay shut up! How can you not know! I ONLY have one kid" Lucas yells hitting Zays arm

"The only one I know is the one with riley" he says rubbing his arm

What the fuck is going on

"Wait a minute?! You know riley?!" I say shaking head as I run my hand through my hair

"Of course he knows her! We were all friends!'' Lucas says shaking his head

"Wait how do you know riley?!" zay says facing me

"I've kind of been with her for FOUR years!" I say as I raise my hand showing him the ring around my hand

"OH wait! So you're the dude that.. And then you-" he says pointing between us

"oohhhh universe you play dirty!." zay says laughing pointing at the ceiling

"zay shut up!" Lucas shouts pushing past him

"What is the coincidence that out of ALL the men in this world the guy who takes in riley is the same guy you used to call best friend. Dam this universe" he says pointing us

"How could I be so stupid! She mention another friend ...Isaiah. How the hell did it not cross my mind?" I say as I run my hands through my hair turning away from them

"Yea you are pretty stupid!" Lucas says crossing his arms

"Friar shut the fuck up before I make you!" I shout as I glare at him

"Bring it! I'm not scared" he shouts coming towards me

"Okay okay! You guys need to stop" Zay says getting in between us

"No matter what you try to do, you will never have them! I was there! I'm their new beginning! So don't over pass your boundaries!'

"I was the first guy in Riley's life. I was her first in every sense of the word. We have history that over powers anything you have with her!. You might have her now but I will always be in the back of her mind and her heart. I have had her since we were in 7th grade. We have a child together!" He shouts as he pushes Zay out of the way

"A child you abandoned! You abandoned both of them!" I yell as I push him back

"That might be true but I came back and you want to know what happened today. I'm guessing your here because she didn't tell you about meeting me. "He says pushing me as I stumble back

"WE were a family today!. A real family because that's what we are! She has my blood. We walked together and we were a family something you will never be with them. They both my not forgive me but if she didn't tell you about it than that means I still have a chance." He say as he pushes me back again making my back hit the door

"Over my dead body will you every have a chance with riley!" I yell as I lung towards him punching him

"Dude! Stop!" Zay yells

I hear nothing as my fist continue to punch him. I feel rage take over my body as his words replay in my head. I feel zay pull me off him as I try getting out of his grip. I watch as Lucas stands and wipes the blood from his mouth as he comes towards me. He lands a punch in my stomach as I feel my breath being kicked out of me.

"What the hell Lucas?!" Zay yells as fall to my knees

He pushes him out of the way as he rushes towards me landing a hit on my jaw. I feel the pain rush through my body as the taste of blood feels my mouth. I slowly stand as I make a move to hit him again when Zay steps in

"THAT'S ENOUGH! Charlie get out now!" Zay yells as he hold Lucas back

"I'm warning friar... Don't cross the boundaries" I say as I make my way out

"Remember Gardner I was her first love and I intend to be her last!" He shouts at me as I walk out

/-/-back at the apartment.-.-/-/

I stumble in as I try my best not to make too much noise. I look at my watch as I made it just in time. I quickly rush to the kitchen at I rinse my mouth and wash my face from any blood on me.

I walk to her room as I see her lying in bed holding her favorite princes

"Hey there princes" I say as I walk in

"Daddy! You back!" She yells as she sit up on her bed smiling

"Didn't I say I would" I chuckle as I try sitting next to her

"Daddy? Are you okay? Why is your face red" she says as she moves closer to me

"Um.. Well daddy was being a klutz and feel" I say

She stares at me as If trying to find the lie in my words but she quickly shakes it off as she smiles up at me.

"Okay it's almost bed time. Would the princess like a story" I say as I reach for a book

"No daddy! Tell me a story! Like how you met mommy!" She says smiling as she lays her head on my chest

"Well.. I met your mom when we had class together. I sat all the way in the back. I was mean back then" I chuckle as I remember

"Daddy? You mean!?" She says with widen eyes

"Yes baby.. But not no more" I laugh as she settles her head back on my chest

"It was the first day of class. We had to talk about our self your mom went to speak first. She had the pretty white sundress, her hair was slightly pulled back but a few strands fell on her face. She wore no makeup and her eyes were so bright when she spoke. Her smiles was amazing" I say smiling as I play with her hair.

"Then it was your fathers turn to talk."

I looked up to see Riley stand at the door. Smiling at us. As I see her my anger disappeared for a moment..

"He tried to be all tough and cool but he didn't fool me. I know he was a big softy. He came up to me as kissed my hand as he walked away" she says smiling at Hope

"Awwwww" hope says smiling looking at us

"It's time to sleep my princess" I say as I move to stand

I kiss her head as I tuck her in. Riley kiss her cheek as she wishes her goodnight

"Goodnight baby I love you sweet dream" I say as I walk out closing the door

I rush to our bedroom as I walk in to grab my clothes. I feel Riley grab my arm making me stop in my tracks. I turn to face her as I see the worry in her eyes

"Charlie we need to talk" she whispers looking down

Oh boy...
