--Riley's Parent's--
I stepped infront of the door, glaring at it slightly before rolling my eyes slightly and knocking on the door slightly. The papers were signed, just for him, my ring was off, sitting at home on the dresser, the place I was planning on selling so I could get a new home, one with not so many haunting memories, faded ghost stories of what Riley and I used to be. How we had such a happy family. The girls growing up, and then Justin coming in. Where did all that go? With Riley to his parent's house.
He never told me to go out and get divorce papers, he never told me to sign any, his actions had said enough. All because he said he wasn't going to do this any more and dropped his wedding ring to the floor. Hell, when I'd left him when we were engaged I'd atleast been nice enough to set it on the table, of course I'd hurt him so much more in other ways, but still.
If I got up and left, Riley wouldn't know where to find me anymore, they wouldn't be able to find Lilian's killer, and I'd be safer for doing missions.

I heard a knock on the door when I was in the kitchen. Mainly just in here becuase I was making some tea for my parents, who after a few days were still quite a mess but they've resorted to just moping around and being silent.
I left the kettle of water on the stove sicne I just about it on and walked over to the door, opening it after a few moments.
Seeing Riyann standing there, I froze for a moment and bit my lip slightly. ".. Hi." I said quietly, frowning slightly. "Are you, um.. here to see the kids?" I asked her curiously, slightly wondering why she would be here if that wasn't the case.
I glanced down to her hand, seeing her ring off as well. Not really surpirsed that it wasn't there.
[[ it was good :] .. and meh : / ]]

As I stood there waiting I pulled the thin and light coat I was wearing slightly tighter around my frame and listened to the footsteps coming to the door.
The door opened and I looked up, anticipating to see Riley's parents and to feel more guilt settle in, but I was saved by the face of Riley and almost let a sigh of relief pass my lips.
Pulling the not so thin, but not fat, envolope from my pocket I glanced down at it before holding it out. "Uhm, no." I murmured softly, shaking my head lightly. "J-just dropping these off." I added even quieter. It was taking everything I could to not break down in tears again.
[[Thanks]]

I almost thought that I saw a slight look of relief on her face, but I was probably just seeing things and ignored the small thought before I really thought about it.
I watched her pull an envelope out of her pocket and stared at it for a few moments. ".. oh." I said quietly, staring at it for a bit longer before taking it from her hands slowly. I knew what it was, least I was pretty sure, and I was slightly surpirsed that she already got them.
".. Look.. I'm sorry for how I handled things." I said quietly, glancing to her for a moment before back down to the envelope.

I heard him say oh and almost could've laughed, if I hadn't been holding tears back so desperately. What else would I be here for? I could always stop by and see the kids, but the twins would think that it'd be a regular thing and I planned on making myself seem like I fell off the face of the earth, just for Riley. After he took the papers that were folded neatly in the envolope, that supported my neat signature, I took my hand back and pushed both of them into the pockets of my coat.
"It doesn't matter, just forget about it." I whispered, looking off to the side now, feeling a couple tears fall.

I shook my head, glancing back down to the envelope before up to her again, seeing a couple tears fall down her face. "I think it does.. I just, I just over-reacted.." I said quietly, ".. I was sitting there for too long and.. it just got to me." I told her quietly, frowning some. I really did feel awful about how I ended it. At least when she ended it, she placed the ring on the kitchen table, I mean, I dropped it on the floor.
Then again, I was really upset and not to mention slightly angry at the time and really, when I dropped it, I wasn't exactly thinking about how it was going to hurt her. At that point I was too busy thinking about what she did.

"Right, and how were you over-reacting? Riley, you know what I did." I said, turning slightly towards him again and shook my head a little. "Just forget about it." I muttered again. I didn't want to talk about it, I didn't want to keep thinking about it, I just needed to get over it and the fact that really, we were going to fall apart no matter what and there was no way for me not to.

I shifted my eyes to the floor again, "Doesn't mean I couldn't've handled it better." I said with a small sigh. ".. Fine.." I said when she said to forget about it. If she didn't want my apology she didn't have to take it. There wasn't much I could do about that.

I sighed softly, looking at the ground again, since handing him the envolope I hadn't looked up at him. "There are the papers, I should go." I whispered softly, taking a step backwards, letting my hair fall in my face and feeling a couple tears fall.

"Um.. Are you sure you don't want to talk to kids before you go?" I asked slightly quickly as she started to walk away.

I didn't want him to ask me that, I wanted to be in and out before anything happened, and now I'd have to stay or have the guilt stay with me. The only problem was, that I didn't want to go in the house.

She didn't respond so I shrugged faintly. "You, um.. You don't have to.." You only promised them. I thought to myself, not saying it outloud. "They probably don't even know you're here..."

"I-I'm not you, I can't go in there." I whispered, shaking my head softly. Really it was more so because of his parents that I couldn't, but there were other things, like everything between Riley and I that happened in that house.

"What's being me have to do with anything?" I asked her curiously, leaning slightly in the doorway now and folding my arms lightly infront of my chest.

"I, I'm not, I can't go in there." I whispered, pleading with him for some unknown reason, though it was probably because I knew that he was thinking about how I'd promised the kids.

"Then maybe they can come out here?" I asked slightly pleading back to her. She promised them and if I knew my kids well enough, I knew that by now they were probably listening at the top of the stairway.

"I don't care. I just, can't.. I can't go in there." I whispered, turning my eyes to the ground again. I wanted to hate him right now, make it seem like it didn't matter if I went in there or not. But I couldn't I loved him, and I couldn't go in there.

"Yo-You don't have to." I said slightly rushed. "I can just go get the girls.. and Justin if you want.. They can come out here." I said still probably sounding a bit like I was pleading.

"OKay." I whispered softly, nodding softly. "Okay." I nodded a little.

"Thank you." I said quietly, giving her a faint half smile. "I'm gonna get them.. Don't go anywhere." I said starting to back away a bit and then going upstairs to the where the girls were.
I knocked on the door, opening it a second later to see the girls look up to me and then look away. I frowned a bit more and bit my lip slightly. "Your mum's here.." I said quietly watching them look back up to me and smile. They both got up and rushed past me and started down the stairs. "I told you she'd come." Ella said as she went to Lottie.

I nodded softly, and watched him turn into the house. Honestly I wanted to go and just lock myself up in the bedroom for a few more days, but I wasn't, I was doing more and more and just facing the fact. Like coming here with the papers, signed and ready.
Looking up I saw the twins coming down the stairs and grinned softly, slightly glad that I hadn't just left like I wanted. I would always change my mind when seeing them.

I glanced at the girls as they ran down the stairs and then looked back at the room they came out of. Even though Lilian moved out and in with her boyfriend a while back, it would always be her room. I looked inside it for a short moment before shutting the door and following the girls down the stairs.
"Mum!" They both said, grinning lightly as they rushed toward her. They both hugged her and I smiled very faintly, standing only a few inches away from the doorway, watching them for a moment before wondering if I should just go back to the kitchen.

I smiled softly, slouching slightly and hugging the two back tightly. "I love you." I murmured with a small smile, kissing the tops of their heads quick, smiling softly as I did so. They would always make me smile, no matter what happened. "I love you I love you I love you." I said with a small smile, each time placing a kiss on the tops of their heads. "Love you both." I said again with a small laugh.

"Ew mum.." They both muttered with a small giggle as she kissed their foreheads, but still grinning lightly to her. They laughed a little at how much she said that she loved them and they nodded. "Love you too, mum." They both said, smiling. "So are we going somewhere? Or are you going to stay here?" Lottie asked looking up to her. "Or are you taking us anywhere?" Ella asked looking up to her as well. They just wanted to hang out with their mum and I definately wasn't going to stop that if Riyann said that she wanted to too.

I laughed softly as they said ew and just ignored that as they did say ew. "I love you both more." I murmured softly after they said they loved me too. I never really had thought that far into if we were ever going to do something, or if we were going to go somewhere. "What do you want to do?" I asked softly, looking up at Riley, biting my lip softly.

They both smiled to her and giggled again. When Riyann asked what they wanted to do they both just shrugged. "Anything!" Ella giggled, smiling widely, having Lottie follow her with a small nod.
Riyann looked up to me and I smiled very faintly with a small shrug. "You guys go ahead..." I said quietly, waving my hand faintly. I was sure she wasn't asking if I wanted to go or not but I wasn't positive what I was supposed to be doing.

"Too bad anything isn't something." Isaid, standing up straight, shaking my head a little bit. After a split moment of silence I pretended to stretch and yawn as I did so, just messing with the girls.
Hearing Riley say you guys go ahead I nodded a little, and looked away from him, not being able to look at him for too long at the moment. Though the girls were always a positive charm, I don't think the protected me much from reality of Riley no longer wanting to be with me.

They laughed a little and nodded, "How about we just go to the park?" Lottie asked with a smile. "Or honeydukes!" Ella said a moment later, grinning widely. They both laughed a little when Riyann yawned and streched and smiled up to her.
I watched her look away from me and glanced down to the ground myself.

"Oh so you do want to go somewhere." I said, shrugging a little. "Was getting the impression you didn't. "So where?" I asked, raising a slightly eyebrow when they said the park or honeydukes. I was completely ready to let them buy the store out if they desperately wanted too, just because of what they were going through.

They smiled and shrugged a little bit. "But the park does sound better." Ella said witha small nod and then Lottie nodded too. "Yeah, let's go there." She smiled.
"..Well, um.. Just drop them off here when you're ready." I said speaking up again, now that it seems like they've decided.
