Bella's POV

Just as he told Paul Sam picked Amelia the next morning and told me to stay there until Jake was out the house. Jake texts my constantly and I continue to ignore him. I won't stay mad at him forever but he can sweat it for a couple of days. He is telling me over and over that he loves me and he's so sorry. Both of which I know but I just don't care today.

"Mommy, why you be sad?" Amelia asks me as she climbs up on my lap.

"Oh baby, it's just grown up stuff. Being a grown up is hard Amelia." I tell her hugging her.

"Bella, I have to go to work. Just stay here for the day OK? And just chill; don't worry about either one of them. There is food is the fridge, eat whatever you what." Sam tells me as he gets ready to leave. I'm supposed to start back next week but now I don't know if I can handle it.

Don't worry about either of them. Easier said than done for sure.

I get a text and I sigh thinking it's yet another one from Jake but it's from Paul.

I'm so sorry about last night babe. I love you so much but I get that I screwed up. Let Sam take care of you, he will. And take care of Amelia. I'm leaving town so I'll be outta your way. And please don't be too hard on Jake, you'll kill him if you keep Amelia and yourself from him for too long.- Paul

Thinking this isn't what I want at all I try to call him but he shut his phone off. I get Amelia in the car as fast as I can hoping he'll be at the shop. Surely he won't leave without saying anything to Sam. I drive as fast as I safely can, get her out and run in.

"He just left Bella." Sam tells me as soon as he sees me. "He won't tell me where he's going either."

"This isn't what I wanted!" I'm yelling, not really at Sam. "I just needed time to think. He hurt me but I thought he would be there when I got over it. But it's my fault. He was so hurt and I just told him to leave. It's all my fault. Will he come back?"

"I don't know Bella, we'll just have to wait and see. I doubt he even knows. It's going to be OK though."

Somehow I doubt that.

"I'm about to close up for lunch. Do you want to come?" I tell him sure and we go to the diner and as if my life isn't crap already Mike is there.

"Bella, I was hoping to run into you, I didn't want to call. I know you've been through a lot." He tells me and I'm looking at him like he's an alien.

"What do you want Mike?" Sam asks him in a threatening way.

"I want to get to know my daughter Bella. The night I came to the hospital I was drunk; when I left I got in an accident and almost killed a woman. I was court ordered to do rehab but I'm good now and I realize what a loser I've been. I want to make it right. But I won't force you and I won't take you to court. Oh and I want to pay you child support." He's telling me all this and he looks sincere but I know I suck at reading people so not knowing what to do I look to Sam.

"Let her get back to you." He tells Mike and I add in that I need to talk to Jake about it which Mike starts to get pissed about but I remind him that when neither of us was there for her Jake was. Funny thing, so was Paul. He loves her and I've taken that away from him.

We eat our lunch and discuss plans for the day which now include Jake. He has to know I still love him and how important he is too Amelia and I.

Once we get back to the shop I hug him and tell him thanks for everything then head to Jake's house.

Amelia doesn't give me time to be nervous as she runs up and starts banging on the door. Jake opens it and she squeals like she didn't just see him this morning.

"Bella, I'm sorry. I just wanted you to be happy." Jake apologizes.

"He's gone now Jake. So I guess that didn't work out so well. But whatever, I don't want to lose you too and more importantly I don't want Amelia to lose you. But promise me Jake you will stay out of my business from now on. Please?" I beg him.

"Anything Bella, I was so afraid you would never forgive me. I'm sorry he left, but he'll come back." He sounds convinced but we both no nobody knows for sure except for him.
