My vision is fogged by the anger running through my veins. I forget that his one of my closest friend, my mind goes crazy as I turn to wrap my brain around what's going on. All I know is that I want to hurt him

"YOU!" I yell as I rush over to him

I grab him by his collar as I slam him on the wall. "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" I yell

He pushes my arms away "I had no dam idea! Believe if I knew this wouldn't be happening!"

I pin him to the wall as I push my arm on his chest "what the yell is that supposed to mean" I hiss

"It means I would of talk to her and fixed everything!" He says pushing me back

"Fix everything? Do you have no dam idea of what you did to her!?" I yells as I turn to point at Riley. I see her face stained with tears.

"Charlie, look you don't understand.. Okay. You're my friend but this is between me and Riley" he says as he tries to get close to her

"Oh trust me I understand! Who the hell do you think you are telling me I don't understand! I've been with her for 4 years!" I say raising my voice getting in his face

"You will never know her like I do! You will never know both of them like I do! I told you, I was going to fight for what I left behind and I'm going to take what's mine!" He yells getting closer to me

My blood begins to boils as he speaks. My breathing speeds up as I feel all this anger run through my body. I clench my fist hard as I rise them.

I punch him the in the face as my anger take over me. I watch as he falls to the floor.

"I know her more then you will ever! I know Hope more than you do! Don't you forget that I to promised that I was going to fight for them! I don't give a fuck if you're an old friend! They are more important to me!" I yell looking at him on the floor

"Charlie! Please stop" I turn to see Riley with tears in her eyes looking scared

"Why didn't you tell me..." I say as I felt my self-break down.

"She's was mine first! HOPE is MY DAUGHTER!" Lucas screams as he stands

My body stiffens as he says those words. I look at Riley as I see her look down. I slowly turn to face him. My jaws stiffens as my body temperature rises

I run to him as I grab him by his shirt and slam him on the table making it break "HOW DARE YOU! SHE IS MY DAUGHTER! I WAS THERE THE DAY SHE WAS BORN! Riley IS MY WIFE! I WAS THERE WHEN YOUR DUMB ASS LEFT! I say as I punch him in his face twice

"Charlie! Please stop!" Riley's yells

I hear her but my body doesn't stop. All this anger rushes to me as I start to punch him more. Soon I'm pushed to the floor as his punches me in the face.

"She will always be my daughter! She might be your wife but she will always be a part of me because we created a beautiful girl!" He yells as he punches me again in the face and in the gut

I punch him in his gut as I push him back. I was going to punch again when i felt two arms holding me back. I try to release from his grip but I couldn't

"That's enough Charlie. Settle down" Mr. Matthews says

"Let me go! I need to do this" I growl glaring at Lucas who's being held back by Shawn

"Bring it on! I told you I was going to fight for them" Lucas say trying to get out of Shawn's grip

"Stop it both of you! Or I will have you arrested! You are scaring my niche. Look at her and look what you did to this place!" Eric says as he enters the room with his bodyguard

I turn to look at Riley who's shaking and crying "I'm so sorry Riley." I say as my heart breaks I hate seeing her like this

"Riley you know I'm sorry. I'm sorry for scaring you but I need to be here for my daughter" Luca says looking at Riley

I raise my fist as I race to him she will never be yours again. I'm soon stopped as Mr. Matthews hold me back

"For the last fucken time she is my daughter! I was there when she was born! I was there at 3 in the morning when she couldn't sleep on her first night home from the hospital! I was there when she got her first cold! When she spoke her first word and her first steps!" I scream as I felt tears run down my face

" I was there through everything little milestone my little girl went through and I will always be there! You will never! Never take her away from me! Her name is HOPE MAYA GARDENER!" I scream as I felt my body breaking down from sadness and anger. Hope is my baby, she's is my little girl!

I watch as Lucas face redness and he break from Shawn's hold and lunges towards me. I quickly push Mr. Matthews away as I take the hit. I stumble back as I try to catch my breathing from the punch to the gut. I recover and punch him in the face. We start fighting as they try to separate us

"PLEASE JUST STOP! PLEASE!" I hear Riley say as she fall to the floor

I stop as I turn around to see her. I run to her and I help her stand "I'm so sorry... I'm sorry "I say

"That's it both of you are out! I cannot have this in my house and especially a house filled with kids! So out!" Eric yells as he motions to his bodyguards

"Eric, hope needs her dad for her pictures and memories" Mr. Matthews says look at his brother

"Gardner you go upstairs to the guest bedroom and clean up. You stay in there until we call you. Friar I want you out.. This is no time to be revealing secrets okay. It's time to have fun let them have it" Eric says looking at us

" I have every right to be here sh-" Lucas was cut off by Shawn

"You lost that right buddy when you left 5 years ago" he says looking at him

"Mr. Friar, this is no place and time to be reliving the past. Do not destroy the image of the family Hope has. For today let it go, let Hope have this day for her memory's because after this we all know things will change. So Mr. Friar leave now or I will make you because I'm not letting you destroy my granddaughter's party any longer." Mr. Matthews say as he walk closer to Lucas.

"I need to talk to Riley first, after that I promise to leave Mr. Matthews I'm sorry" Lucas says as he looking at him

"You will not talk to her!" I yell

"Charlie that's enough.. Head upstairs you need to cool down buddy" Shawn says as he hold on to me

"Charlie, I will check on you in a little and explain I'm sorry. I can't avoid speaking to him anymore" Riley says as she approaches me

"I trust you Riley.. I just don't trust him, but fine I'll go" I say as I kiss her cheek and make my way upstairs

I enter the guest bedroom as I finally break down. How could one of my closest friend end up being the person you broke my wife years ago. How could he end up being Hope's father? I knew things were changing but why so fast

I walk to the window as I look out to the party. I smile as I watch Hope smiles and jumps around playing with her friends. The way she lights up as she begins to laugh. I feel the tears run down my face

"I promise you that you will always be happy. I promise you that I will always be your dad I'm never going to let you go."
