*Cole's POV*

"So...I take it you won't be home for dinner tonight...again." I hear Lili say as I'm about to walk out of the door.

"What?" I turn around.

"You haven't been home for dinner for the past three weeks!" She raises her voice.

"You do realise that I'm working my ass off every night?" I try to keep calm.

"Yeah "working your ass off" okay, whatever Cole." She scrubs a table, not catching my eyes.

"Good lord. You want me to just quit my job? Stop earning us money?" I've raised my voice a little at this point.

"There's a little boy upstairs that loves his father. If only he would ever get a chance to see him! You're always in your office during the day then you leave at night then don't come back until super late! You never see your family anymore, Cole!"

"Why are you being so ungrateful? I provide for you and that little boy!" I yell back.

"Oh, you do not provide for him! You just go to your stupid job so you have something to do! You know we don't need the money since we're former actors! You're just selfish, Cole!" She continues yelling.

I sigh. "Yeah. I guess I am." I open the door and leave, angrily slamming the door as I do so.

*4 hours later (noon)*

I open the door and step inside then close it. I place my keys down and notice a note on the coffee table. I sit down and begin reading it.

I'm sorry, I can't face you right now. I've taken Jackson and am currently staying at a close-by apartment. Don't worry too much.

- Lili

I place the note down and put my head in my hands.

I hate arguing with Lili. It feels like we shouldn't argue because we've been so strong for so long but...these things happen. This argument is all my fault, I haven't been at home with her or Jackson and this is the consequences of that. This is the consequences of being a horrible husband and a horrible father.

*The next day*

I had been texting Lili all night but haven't got a response. I seriously got no sleep last night, worrying about if they'll ever come back. I'm unsure if Jackson will even miss me considering how much I haven't been around. I decide to text Lili one more time.

Cole: Lil, I'm sorry, you were right, I haven't been home as much as either of us likes and I'm so sorry. I will do whatever it takes to spend more time with you. I'll change my times, I'll stop working from home so much, I will change. I promise. Just please come home. I love you.

Still no text back. I figure she probably doesn't even want to be married to me anymore. She's probably getting the divorce papers right now. No, she isn't, this is just a small argument...we'll be fine.

Suddenly, I hear my phone ping.

Lili: I'm coming home.

That's all she puts but that one small sentence makes me so happy.

*A few hours later*

I'm sat on the couch and suddenly I hear the door open so I jump off and run to the door.

"Um, hey," I say, walking over to the door and immediately seeing Lili and Jackson.

"Hi...uh...Jackson, can you go up to your room? I'll come to see you in a minute." Lili says, switching her gaze to my 4-year-old son.

"Okay, mommy." He walks slowly up the stairs.

Lili and I move over to the couch and both sit down.

"I'm glad you came back," Is all I say.

"I honestly didn't think I was going to come back so soon..." She replies, not meeting my eyes.

"Look...I'm sorry, It was so wrong of me to yell at you like I did when you were right." I look at her.

"It's okay." She meets my eyes.

"I'll try my best to change my times and I'll be here more."

"And I'm thankful that you'll try." She places her hand on my cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too." I say and hug her.

I got my times changed and am able to spend much more time with my wife and son. All I'll say is that I'm super glad I got my times changed.

Ik this is probs super boring but I just really haven't had time to write new parts for this since I've recently finished PLL and am making books on that so, I apologise but I'll post on here when I can but don't expect it too often <3
