Zack's POV:
"Well we Zack say goodbye to your wife... Here she goes.." The nurse said and at that very second Maya's hand tightened on mine and her eyes opened. The nurse stopped and went to get a doctor.
"Maya.." I said moving her hair out if her face
"What happened? Where am I?" She asked panicking
"You got into a car accident, you're in the hospital baby. I love you Maya." I said to my wife holding her hand tightly and my other hand on her cheek
"I love you too Zack.. I could hear you talking to me, I just couldn't respond.. Zack I want to go home. What happened to my car?" Maya asked not remembering much of what had happened
"It's totaled, don't worry as soon as you get better we will go get you a new car, whatever you want." I said and Maya's family came in after the doctor checked Maya
Three days later Maya was perfectly normal and today we were going home. As we were driving home I stopped and got Maya caribou and then once we pulled in the driveway she stopped and grabbed my hand.
"I love you Zack." She said to me
"I love you too.. I told the kids you were in a really bad car accident, nothing else." I said and we walked in hand in hand and the second the door opened the kids came running,
"Mommy, I love you. We missed you." Emma said
Tyler and Caden just hugged Maya and then Aliah came and started crying.
"Are you okay mommy? Daddy said you got hurt very bad. I was scared you died." Aliah said crying
"I was very hurt but I am okay now. I love you sweetie." Maya said to our oldest daughter. Aliah and Maya have the greatest mother daughter relationship ever, I think that's because of how much they were together when Aliah was a baby. Maya picked up our seven year old daughter and whispered something in her ear and then she rubbed her back.
My mom had already seen Maya awake yesterday in the hospital so she let Maya go with Aliah. They went into mine and Maya's bedroom and she shut the door.
Maya's POV:
I carried Aliah into my bedroom and shut the door and held my crying daughter.
"So you asked what happened?" I asked my daughter
"Yeah.." She said as we sat on my bed
"Well I was driving home from dropping you kids off at school and a car hit me. Everything turned black, I was still alive I just couldn't move or talk. That's why I was in the hospital for so long." I said and then added lying to reassure my daughter, "But I never was going to die."
"I'm glad you're okay mommy. I love you."
"Me too baby. I love you too. Thank you for being such a big help when I was in the hospital." I said
Aliah and I laid on my bed for about ten more minutes and then she fell asleep in my arms and I let her sleep. She woke up about an hour later and we went back out to everyone else.
That night everyone went to bed early and Zack and I decided we were going on the S.S. Tipton for a week this summer.
The next day Zack and I drove the kids to school and then he went to show me my car as I wanted to see it.
It was destroyed... It's amazing I was this okay after the accident. All the windows were shattered, there was a huge indent in the roof, all the doors were pushed in.. Tears came to my eyes. Zack and I left and we went and looked at new cars. Them we went and bought four new car seats for my new car. After that we went home and I laid in his arms all day.
"I'm so lucky to have you." He said to me
"I'm so lucky to have you. Thank you for being there with me in the hospital." I said
"There was no way I was leaving your side." He said back to me
Another month flew by and I had my new car. I got a black Acadia and I loved it. The kids were so excited for our trip in three months. I was totally back to normal and working again.
Today was any old boring day. I was at work and Katie had her kids there.
"Katie you need to send those dresses to Paris today!" I said
"You can do it too." She snapped back
"Excuse me but I just got back to work. Katie please I had about two million messages, and thousands of weddings to plan. Take your kids with you." I said to her
"Maya you are a fucking bitch. At the beginning of next month I quit. Just because you own this building because you married a rich ass guy doesn't mean you can make me do every damn thing." Katie screamed at me
"I'm a bitch? Really Katie do you want to do there?" I asked
"Oh yeah I do. You are a 25 year old rich woman with a rich ass husband with four kids who are spoiled brats and all you do is spread your legs for Zack. You're a whore Maya, just admit it. You're a mother fucking slutty whore." Katie said
"Get the hell out. You're fired." I screamed crying
"No, I quit and fuck this business. Just have it be M wedding no fuck that. Change it to I'm a girl who needs sex. Learn to grow up and take care of your kids you're fucking 25 act like it." Katie yelled
"No I'm not a slut. Just because I had four kids young doesn't make me a slut. And I thought we were best friends?" I asked crying
"Please Maya.. We were never friends.. I was using you to get rich and now that I am I could give a rats ass about you. I hope this business goes bankrupt and you end up on the streets and Zack he ends up with that girl Olivia. I was the one who set them up, you'll thank me later bitch. Yeah that's right stay here all day and cry."
Katie threw her keys to the store at me and left and I fell to the floor crying. Then Katie walked back in and said, "by the way I've booked an appointment for a client to come by today. I hope you'll be ready in two minutes when Louis Richards stops in."
I grabbed my phone and called Zack.
"Hey." He said
"Come to MK wedding now.. Zack hurry please." I said and just then Louis walked in
"Hello Maya, upset are you?" He asked
"Get the hell out of my store now. If you don't I will call 911."
"Maya please just model a few dresses and I will be in my way."
He walked closer to me and I pushed him back he began to play with my hair and then Zack walked in.
"Get the hell away from my wife." Zack said
Then Louis pulled out a knife and out the knife to Zack's neck.
"Maya do as I say and he won't be hurt.." Louis snapped
"No! Louis let him go and take me. I'll do whatever you say if you let him go please." I cried
"Fine but go to your office and out on the sexiest wedding dress you have." He said
"Okay." I said and he let Zack go
Then Zack punched him in the face and the police walked in. They arrested Louis and questioned me and Zack. All I could do was cry..
"So what happened?" Zack asked me after the police left
"Katie was only using me to get money and now she left. She called me a whore and a slut and I think she's suing me. Zack... She was never my friend, ever and I told her everything." I cried leaning up against the wall and I slowly slid down it
Zack got up from a chair and sat next to me and held me a let me cry.
"I'm so sorry Maya but you don't need that bitch. I love you." He said
I kept crying and I thought about everything that had happened in my life especially the past two months.
I almost died and my so called best friend was never even my friend. Zack just held me for two hours and I cried. He rubbed my back, kissed my forehead, and told me I was beautiful about 100 times. Another hour went by and the kids only had about an hour half an hour left of school.
"Baby we have to go get our kids in about an hour." Zack said
"I can't.. I need to change the locks, send the video of Kate to the lawyer, get the dresses shipped to Paris, call six people, and figure out all of Katie's clients I have to take care of and I think I'm going to close this business Zack. Everything is going wrong now... I love you and the kids but I can't do this anymore. Zack... I can't be your wife anymore... And I can't be a mom anymore. I missed so many years of just being young and I still am young. I need time to feel young, be young, and not have to worry about my job, my marriage and husband, or four kids. I want to be free to do whatever I want and right now is that time. Zack... I need to leave.." I said driving home
I went home and I packed three big bags for myself and a few other things. I loaded it all into my car and waited until the kids got home. I sat them all down and Zack.
"I need to go on a vacation for a while, I will be back soon. I love you all so much and call me if you need anything." I said as I hugged and kissed all four of my kids and then I hugged Zack for a minute.
The kids all went off so I didn't worry about them seeing this. I handed Zack my wedding ring and I said, "I love you so much and I promise you that I will come home when the time is right. Until then keep my ring so you will always know that I'm yours."
"Maya... Please stay with me tonight.. Please..." Zack said
"I need to go.. I'm sorry." I said walking out of the house and I got into my car and drove away
I first drove back to MK wedding and the police officer was there and gave me the new keys as I changed the locks. I went in and called everyone, sipped he dresses to Paris and posted on the MK wedding Facebook page that it was closing until further notice. I called all my clients and told the, I would finish their weddings and not to worry. I packed up my Mac book on my desk and a few other folders and books that I would need to finish planning the weddings, and then I left MK wedding and drove for about nine hours and I got a nice hotel room in Pennsylvania. I unpacked most if my things and I went and started working on a wedding I was planning.
About two weeks went by and today I was driving to California. Zack and I still had our house there and we were using it as a vacation house. The drive took me like a week as I went and stopping in Minnesota to see some of my college friends. Then I finally arrived at our old house in Cali. I typed the code in and pulled in the driveway. I walked up to the front door and opened it with a key. I turned off the security system and went to put all my stuff in the master bedroom. I looked around and everything was as I remembered it. The house was very empty though, Zack had actually left a lot here after he chased me back home to Boston. I decided I would deal with everything tomorrow and I fell asleep that night. Until I woke up at 4am..
I texted Zack:
*Hey..*
He replied a few minutes later: *Hey, I hope you are okay, I love you so much.*
*I love you too, I miss you and the kids so much. How are they?*
*They miss you like crazy Maya. Aliah misses you the most. I know you said you need a break but would you consider coming home to get Aliah and take her with you? She cries herself to sleep every single night. She doesn't want to go to school anymore, Maya you need to come home and take care of her or take her with you. This isn't healthy for her...*
I cried reading Zack's response.
* How about I come get at the end of next week? Her last day of school is that next Thursday. I can be there Thursday morning for their last day and then Friday leave with Aliah...*
*Will you stay until Monday?* Zack asked
*Saturday.. Zack. I love you so much..! *
*I love you too!*
That Thursday I got picked up at the airport by Hayley and she dropped me off and the second I walked in the door Zack was there and I hugged him. Then I went and walked into the kitchen and saw all four kids. They all came and hugged me then I promised them I would be here went they got home. I drove them to school and then I stopped by MK wedding and met with a client who bought a dress. I went home and Zack was there.
"I thought you were working..." I said
"My wife left and has been gone for about three and a half weeks. I spending every minute with you." He said
I spent the next two days spending a lot of time with the kids and time avoiding Zack.
That night I played a game with all the kids and put them to bed.
I went into my room and Zack came in later. I stayed on the farthest side of the bed and fell right asleep.
The next day I woke up and Zack had already made breakfast. I again spend all day with the kids and little time with Zack until that night.
I was laying in bed and he asked, "Where have you been?"
"I went to Pennsylvania and stayed in a hotel and now I'm in California. And I swear if you show up there I will leave and go to another country and never come back." I threatened
"I promise Maya. I love you.." He said kissing my forehead and then falling asleep
Today we went to the airport and Aliah hugged everyone goodbye and so did I. Then it came time to hug Zack. Then he leaned in to kiss me and I pulled away getting on the plane.
Aliah had her car seat on the plane and I sat next to her and she told me all about school and how much she missed me.
"Mommy, do you still love daddy, Emma, Caden, and Tyler?" My seven year old daughter asked
"I do, very very very much baby." I replied
"Then why aren't they coming with us?" She questioned
"This is just a special vacation for me and you this summer." I said
Aliah fell asleep and then we arrived in California. I got the four bags and Aliah's car seat off the plane and then we went to my car I left parked at the airport. We drove back to our old Cali house and Aliah recognized it and was so excited. We went in and she unpacked her clothes in a dresser I moved into her room and then I made dinner.
"Mommy will you read to me?" Aliah asked handing me a book
"Of course, go brush your teeth and get your pajamas on and I will be in your room and we'll read. I just have to put dinner away." I said and Aliah left the kitchen
I was done putting it away so I went into Aliah's room and read to her and then she read me a short book. I still couldn't believe my baby girl was seven years old already. I laid with her for a minute and rubbed her back. Then I hugged and kissed her and went back to the kitchen to do the dishes.
The second I entered the kitchen I saw nothing but memories. I went into each room and remembered everything that happened in there. Once I got to the master bedroom I broke down crying. I wasso thankful to have such an amazing family, and have a husband who loved me so much but I am so young. I'm only 25 years old and I have four kids. The Katie thing was destroying me and I think she was doing this on purpose. A lesson I will teach all of my kids is to choose your friends wisely. My kids... MY kids. I knew as a mom this was the wrong thing to do, to leave three of your kids with very little explanation with their dad for about a month. But as me being 25 it was the right thing, I just needed a break from everything, I still do. No crazy schedules, no possibility of getting pregnant, no distractions. I was so happy to have Aliah here with me.
I kept thinking what if Zack was still with Kallie and this was my life with Aliah and Aliah only. She could be my only kid, I could be single, dating or married to someone other than Zack. Was that the way it was supposed to be? Was I ever supposed to marry Zack? Let alone have four kids with him... Was kissing him way back when I went to Boston over Kallie's birthday a mistake? Was Zack my mistake? I know the kids aren't mistakes but is Zack being my husband?
