"So, why don't you go get some of your stuff." He suggested, I nodded.

"Okay." We went into the hallway. Where Jack was just arriving.

"Oh hey Jack, why don't you go help Meredith pack some of her stuff? Since she is now the new owner of Apartment 32." This must be some set up.

"Um, yeah okay. Just let me put my stuff away." He went into his apartment.

"Cam, was this your plan? To get me and Jack alone together?" I asked curiously.

"Maybe." He smirked. Oh Cam, gotta love him though.

Jack came back wearing rayban sunglasses, I almost screamed at the sight.

"You ready?" He asked, smiling.

"Yep." I said back.

Once we got my truck, we went back to my house. Where of course Tara was planning damn wedding. Fuck, like can't she do this at her own house.

Before we came back we found a bunch of boxes from work to put all my stuff in, so we carefully went upstairs, not being noticed my Tara.

About two hours later, we only had one or two boxes left.

"Okay, this is full. I'll go put it in the truck. Be right back." He smiled.

A few minutes later, Tara came stomping with Bella in her arms.

"I need you to watch Bella for me." She demanded.

"Um actually I can't." I said matter of factly.

"Yes, you are." She looked mad.

"No because I'm busy, packing. I'm moving." I turned away.

"Excuse me no, you have to stay here." Who does she think she is?

"No because you see, I'm eighteen now, so that means I can do whatever the hell I please." Now I was starting to get mad.

"I tell your father." The look on her face was like 'I have so much power over you now, bitch'

"Okay fine, not like he gives a rat's ass anyways." I spat.

"But he owns your bank account." The constant look of 'I just won.' Stayed on her face.

"No, he doesn't. It's my bank account, under my name. I have a job and don't just use him for money. Unlike you." I shouted that last part.

"Yo chill Mer, why are you freaking out on mom, I-I mean Tara." Ryan just butts in.

"What just did you just call her? Mom was it? She's no mother. I'm more of a mother to her own child than she is." At this point I was livid.

"It's not like our mother was here anyways. So this is the next best thing." He shouted at me.

"This woman will NEVER be my mother." I shouted, but then my dad walked up behind Tara.

"Meredith Alexandra Skye, you will not speak to your future mother or brother that way whilst you're living under my roof young lady. " His tone of voice was very stern.

"Well you see David, THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE FUCKING WRONG. I BOUGHT MY OWN PLACE BECAUSE I'M SO SICK OF THIS SHE DEVIL TELLING ME WHAT TO DO TWENTEY FOUR SEVEN. I'M ALSO SICK OF YOU GUYS BEING COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACT THAT SHE'S JUST A BITCH TO ME AND NOT YOU GUYS. SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST STEP BACK FOR A MINUTE AND REALIZE WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE YOU'VE MADE CHOSING TO MARRY HER. NO ONE EVEN AKSED ME IF I WAS ALRIGHT WITH THIS, YOU JUST LEFT ME ALONE. AS USUAL. All I want is for someone to be there for me, and make me feel like I'm worth something." Everyone had a stunned look on their face, including Jack. Who must have showed up in the middle of that.

I walked up to him.

"How much of that did you see?" I nervously asked.

"Enough." He said turning around while shaking his head.

"No wait." I chased after him, he just flipped me off.

Once he left, I slammed my fist on the kitchen counter.

Everyone else had left, and only Tara was left standing behind me.

"YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID? YOU MADE ME SO MAD I JUST LOST ONE OF THE LAST BITS OF HAPPINESS I ACTUALLY HAD." I said staring to sob.

"Good, you don't deserve happiness anyways." She said with a smirk, knowing she finally won.

I turned around, staring to leave.

"Everyone, even you. Deserve that small amount of happiness."
