"Daddy?" She asked.

"She went home." he said looking at her. "Daddy, you're crying... Don't cry."

"I'm not pumpkin. Do you want any breakfast? I'll make it and then you can play with your dolls." he said.

"Alright." she said. Becka walked out of the kitchen. As AJ hit his knuckles against the wall. He screamed out in pain, as he walked over the phone and picked it up, dialing a familiar number. He made Becka's breakfast and brought it to her. "Here you go sweetie, eat this and then play with your dolls."

"Okay daddy."

"Sweetie?" he said.

"Yes?"

"Nicky's going to come over and watch you for today. Are you okay with that?"

"Yes. I love Nicky."

"Alright. I'm going upstairs to change. You stay here and when Nicky comes to the door open it for him, and only him."

"Alright." she said.

AJ went upstairs and got changed, and picked up the phone. Dialing a familiar number, he waited for someone to pick up.

"Hello?" the voice said.

"Is Sky there?" AJ asked Michael who must of picked up the phone, after Sky probably invited him over.

"She is, but she doesn't want to talk to you right now."

"Please, tell her I need to talk to her." AJ said on the verge of tears again.

"No, goodbye." Michael said and hung up the phone.

AJ stared at the phone as the phone went dead. The doorbell rang, and Becka started to scream out for Nick.

He walked to the door, and opened it, finding Nick and Brian standing there. "You both going to watch her?" AJ asked.

"Yes, he was bored." Nick said pointing at Brian.

"Alright, Bri, Nick, just be good okay. She's a little girl. Um.. I'm going to be gone for awhile, if you need anything, my cell will be on, and if anything is really important then go next door." AJ said grabbing his stuff.

"Alright, when will you back?"

"A couple of hours. Becka is probably playing with her tea set or something. I'll see ya." AJ said and walked out.

Brian looked at Nick who just shrugged his shoulders. "What's the matter with him?" Brian asked.

"I don't know, I'm going to go play with Becka, teach her some video games."

"Alright, I'll be there in a sec."

Nick went and grab Becka and started to play video games, while Brian sat on AJ's couch and picked up the phone. Knowing the only person that knew AJ that well was Sky.

"Hello?" Someone said into the phone.

"Is Skyler there?" he said.

"Who may I ask is calling?"

"Brian." he said hoping she would talk to him. He heard a few whispers and then another voice.

"Hello." the voice said softly.

"Sky, are you okay?" Brian asked.

"Yeah, I guess so."

"What do you mean you guess so?" Brian asked.

"Bri, I don't want to talk about this right now, can we talk about this umm.. Later."

"Skyler Ann you know damn well I'm not going to be walking around with a depressed AJ and a depressed Sky. What is going on?"

"Bri, please don't make me talk about this. I have to go. Okay?"

"Let's go out for lunch tomorrow."

"Fine. Are we done now Bri?"

"Yes Sky. Go and do whatever you want."

"Alright. Buh bye."

"Bye. Take care."

"I will." she said and hung up.

Brian walked towards Nick and Becka who were playing with the stuffed animals on the floor. "Where did you go Rok?" Nick asked.

"I called Sky. To see what happened."
