"hey babygirl." i murmured as i picked lottie up. "how are you? better than me, definitely." i smiled. she slowly opened her eyes and looked up
at me.
                          
i sighed as i walked towards the window to admire the sunrise. i loved watching the beautiful yellow and pink tones the sky would turn before staying as a bright blue color the rest of the day. i felt someone's presence behind me.
                          
"can i hold her?" perla's soft voice filled my ears. i turned around to find her brown eyes looking at me with a smile on her lips. i nodded as i smiled back and carefully placed charlotte on her arms. 
                          
i finally felt like i had my life somehow put together. my princess was born, i had the most amazing boyfriend who i don't know when he turned into my actual boyfriend and four best friends that are there for me no matter what, and i would start college in a year a little after the guys left for their tour. what else could i ask for?
                          
"isa." zabdiel muttered from the doorway. 
                          
i furrowed my eyebrows. he seemed... nervous? he kept his eyes towards the floor and moved his ring around his finger. 
                          
"can you come downstairs for a second?"
                          
i nodded and looked at perla, who reassured me that she would stay with charlotte until i came back. 
                          
when i walked down the stairs i found five sad looking guys, a renato that was looking at me apologetically, and two very angry creepy old man from their team. i instantly got worried, it was never good whenever i had to tag along to one of their reunions, let alone make their team come to their own home. 
                          
i slowly walked to the dining room and sat between erick and richard since there were no more empty seats.
                          
"we need to get you as far away from cnco as possible." creepy man #1 said firmly.
                          
i furrowed my eyebrows. "i'm not quite following you..."
                          
creepy man #2 glared at me. "you're officially fired. we will start rumours of you and joel's breakup, then they will confirm it next week on an interview. you've been causing us too much trouble."
                          
joel spoke up, "dude, just get to the point already. she obviously has no idea what the fuck you're saying."
                          
renato stood up. "isabella, zayn filled a lawsuit against you. he's claiming his rights over charlotte, and his lawyers know how to persuade the judge to be in their favour. there is no way you can win the case."
                          
i blinked slowly as i stared at renato. he muttered something that faintly resembled an i'm sorry, but i ignored him. he was just... letting the assholes take me away from my best friends. 
                          
i looked around me. joel had his head in his hands, his elbows resting against the table. i could swear i saw a tear escape zabdiel's eye, he refused to look at me. much like zabdiel, erick refused to meet my eyes. christopher's sad eyes met mine when my gaze moved to him. richard had stood up by now and was pacing around the room, mostly in circles behind me. 
                          
i stood up and did what i could do best; run away from my problems.
