paperwork. I had an emergency and needed to be on the next flight out. The HR lady made a call and had Momma a case worker. Who was to take care of everything for me including a call to the local church and having Momma’s house cleared out. Giving me the opportunity to call a Realtors and having it placed on the market. Once papers were signed, I ran out of the building. I jumped in Momma’s car and started making plane reservations. I found a storage for my girl. It gave me about four hours to get packed, get her to the storage and take a bus to the airport. It sounds like a lot of time, but I had been living with Momma for eighteen years give or take a few months. During that time, I had to call my girlfriend of five years, I had to let her know my family had been rescued. I knew that was a conversation that was going to be painful.
Calling Cassidy was something that I kept trying to put off. I was not looking forward to hurting her, but with just a couple hours left. I called her to see if I could stop by and talk with her. There was no more time to stall. This was going to be hard, but I will never give Ashton and my girls up. Ever!
When Cassidy opened the front door and looked at my face, she knew this wasn't a good visit. “Wasp baby, what is wrong you look like your world has been ripped apart? Sit down and talk to me.” I rubbed my hands down my face before finding the courage to hurt her. "Cassidy I care about you and I always will but I’m leaving, and I will not be returning here for anything.” Her jaw dropped as she was trying to grasp what I was saying. “Wait a minute Wasp, slow down and explain this a hell of a lot more than what you just did!” I’m getting impatient, I want to get on to the airport. “My wife and my daughters have been found; they have been rescued from their Kidnapper, and I’m on my way home to reclaim my girls. I know this hurts you, and I’m so sorry for that. You have been amazing for me, but they were and have always been my reason for living. I will be fighting for them with everything I am.”
Cassidy looks like she has seen a Ghost. Then she says. “I have so much running through my mind right now; first I’m happy they are alive and well Wasp I really and truly am. How do you know you still love her? She has been through a horrible ordeal I’m sure, and she may not be the same person anymore. I can understand you going to your daughter, but why her. I just don’t understand she may not want you Wasp!” Now my frustration is turning into anger. ”I have to try Cassidy I still have nightmares about her being taken away from me, I still cry for her and I miss her every fucking day! I’m sorry if this hurts you, but she and those girls are mine, and I’m going back to fight for my family and I will not give up until they are mine again!” I don’t give a fuck if she understands or not. The love Ashton and I shared can be found again if it has been lost I will get my family back one way or another.
Cassidy stands up, and I can tell she is fighting her tears. She is being strong for herself not wanting to give me the satisfaction of seeing her tears. She walks to the door opens it and nods with her head for me to make my exit. I walk past her and do not even look at her or kiss her forehead like I usually do. I don’t want her to think that any of those things that came out of her mouth are in any way possible when it comes to me and Ashton. I will not give up on her I don’t give a fuck if it takes another twenty years! Women like Ashton do not drop in your lap more than once in a lifetime, so I’m taking my second chance and keeping it. I had kept in my head during our conversation, to let her have her say so. I hate letting people talk to me like that! If I hadn’t been breaking up with her, I would have punished her for the insult and way she spoke to me.
I make it to the airport with enough time to spare to check in my luggage and
