She flipped the channels until she found a good movie. She decided to watch Mean Girls, which was one of her favorite movies.

She answered it hesitantly, bringing the phone to her ear, and she got out of the bed, standing up, "Hello?"
The voice that came through the reciever almost made her drop the phone. It was Dana. Hadley hadn't talked to her mother in eight months. After she and Henry left, she never did contact her mom. She was still upset with her for not telling her the truth about who her father was, and that she had once been married to Kyler.
"Mom?" she asked-well more like croaked. Her voice had come out more hoarse than intended, probably because she was surprised.
"Hadley, I just turned on the news on the tv, and I see that my daughter is officially married to my used-to-be-step-son. Kyler, your father and I are not proud," Dana's voice was heard through the reciever in a rather stern tone.
Hadley stiffened, "Mother, you cannot control me, nor can you control who I marry, and neither can Kyler. And that... that man you married, he is not my father."
"And it seems you're pregnant," Dana added, completely ignoring what Hadley had just said.
"Goodbye, Dana."
Hadley hung up the phone. She grumbled in frustration, and a short beep came from her phone only two minutes later, indicating she had recieved a text message.
She sighed in frustration, opening the message to see that Dana had texted her.
"I would like for you and Henry to come over, right now. I just want to talk to you."
Hadley muttered under her breath, and she showed the message to Henry with a frown.

She smiled, "Are you ready to go?"

Soon they arrived at Dana's and Henry went in first. "I swear to god if any of you do anything physical, my man outside will kill you." He glared at Dana, and his father who was standing next to Dana's parents. Henry's father, (whom I forgot his name) looked stern but softened as he saw Hadley come through the door pregnant. "Congratulations, kiddos! Ah, I'm a grandpa at long last! " he was genuinely happy. "Oh cheer up Dana, it's not like you can stop them now. At least they got married and are still talking to each other unlike we were. " he frowned.

Dana rolled her eyes, "Is everyone against me?" she asked dramatically.
Hadley rolled her eyes at her mother, "Stop being so dramatic mom, we have a reason to be against you. You're the one going against our relationship when technically, it's not even your decision who I marry, and you could be a good mother and actually support me instead of causing a bunch of family drama. I mean, you and Kyler aren't even together anymore, and it's been that way for at least like 16 years or so. Good lord woman, you have a damn husband, and it's not Kyler, so be loyal to him instead of trailing behind Kyler like a freaking lost puppy. You aren't with him, therefore, I am allowed to be with Henry, and I don't need your approval. So shove your disapproval up your own ass."
She knew she was being harsh, but she had to get that out. She couldn't help it, she just had to tell her mother those things, because that's what she was feeling.
Dana's eyes widened at what her daughter had just said, her eyes quickly narrowed, "Listen here missy, I still love Kyler, and I will admit it. I know I can't have him and I know I can't control your feelings, but that damn sure doesn't mean you have the right to disrespect me. I'm still your mother Hadley."
Hadley frowned at her mothers words, "Well, I know you're my mother, but you have to stop trying to control me. I'm practically an adult. It's time for me to make my own decisions mom."
Dana shook her head, completely ignoring her daughter, and she realized she still had feelings for Kyler. She had never gotten over him.
Dana gently grabbed Kylers face, pulling him towards her, and she kissed him softly, not caring who saw. She was more than done holding in her emotions to please others. She just wanted to be happy. Just for this one small moment. She knew she was being selfish, and she knew what she was doing was more than wrong, but she couldn't help it.
Henry had tears welling up. "But, you always said how you and Mom were.." Kyler cut him off. "Your mother was married to me, and she cheated on me. Your real father is out there somewhere, and has no idea you're alive." Henry only nodded, and hugged Kyler. Kyler then waved to all of them. "I best be on my way. I have an early appointment in the morning." He gave that friendly, warm, fatherly smile he always had.
Henry waved slightly, and looked down as the door slammed.

She glared at Dana for a few moments before turning to Henry, and she hugged him softly, trying to comfort him. Hadley planted a soft kiss on Henry's cheek.
Dana scoffed, "What are you glaring at me for?"
"You're being selfish," Hadley muttered to her mother in annoyance.
"Hey, when you're in love, it's okay to be a little selfish," Dana protested.
Hadley rolled her eyes, "That doesn't mean you kiss a man who is no longer yours. You have a perfectly amazing man, yet you would rathe kiss another. I know, Kyler's a good man, mom, but you have a husband who loves you dearly. You have a man that I thought was my real dad, a man who cared enough to treat me as if I were his own daughter. He treats you with respect and loves you with all his heart, yet you are being an unloyal wife to him. He gives you all the love, attention, and affection he can offer, and you take it for granted. You're so unbelievable."
Dana opened her mouth to say something, but closed it for a moment. Her soft features suddenly turned hard as a stone, and in a cold voice, she hissed, "Get out of my house."
Hadley glanced at her, "What?"
"I said, get. Out. Of. My. House. If you have the nerve to come here and tell me how to feel about my husband and Kyler, you have no right to be here."
Hadley stared at her momentarily, deciding not to argue, and she narrowed her eyes at Dana, "Fine, we'll leave," she clutched Henry's hand in hers, entwining their fingers, "Henry, are you ready to leave?"

Dana had always been upsetting Hadley. She would find some way to make her cry. It's been that way since Hadley was a little girl, and she'd never done a single thing to Dana, yet she felt the need to make her daughter sad all the time.
Hadley looked down at her lap, humming softly, something she often did to keep from getting too upset. Right now, she was so pissed she just wanted to walk in there and slap her mother. She just wanted to hit her, just to make Dana feel some sort of pain. Kind of like how Dana always made her feel pain, emotionally, not physically.
Tears pricked in her eyes, and she reluctantly let them slip down her cheeks. Dana was so rude, and she was just a horrible woman all around, and she had hurt Hadley so many times, she just couldn't help the tears that slowly rolled down her cheeks.

When they got home, Henry went straight to his recording room, and played his father's first album. It had songs titled, "My Only Child", and "She's got my Heart." He listened to them on repeat, staring at the CD whirl around and around.
My only child, the most precious gift in life,
he's my soul, my life,
Everyone should have a sweet child like mine.

She walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind, resting her head on his shoulder, "Are you okay?" Hadley mumbled, but she knew he wasn't okay, so she really had no reason to ask.
Sighing softly, she kissed his neck gently in an attempt to keep his mind off of things. Hadley didn't want him to be upset, and it pained her to see Henry when he was sad.
