Mia version
"Come on Mia." Anthony begged
"No Anthony! I'm done with your bullshit! I thought you understood what I have told you but I guess not." Soooo, Anthony shows up at my apartment after the beat down that HE caused. "By the looks of your face, Gerald did beat you up badly. No wait, you left him worse."
"I didn't mean to."
"Oh really?!? So going to their house, no stalking them! Stalking me while I was at their house?!?"
"Mia, please listen..."
"Don't you get it. Me, Dylan and Gerald are done with your bullshit of lies."
"I just came to apologize and yes this time is sincere. No bullshitting. I couldn't believe I was pushing away my two best friends and choosing my family over you guys."
"And now you FIGURE IT OUT!?!"
"Yes, I did. And it's to late. I know you guys don't want to know anything of me. So I'm leaving to New Jersey, away from my fucked up family and you guys." This time he was hurt. Okay, okay, yes I still have feelings for him after sixteen years. After he dumped me because he parents knew I was super close to Dylan. He began walking to the elevator. I ran behind. And also because I was running late to work. And hope he is kind enough to offer a ride.
"Wait." He presses the button to the elevator. "May be I can talk with Dylan and Gerald."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but I think I should go first with Gerald. Not cause any reason but it's better if you guys can fix any problems after what happened."
"He wants to kill me."
"Dude I'll talk to him." Then the elevator doors open.
He enters the elevator. "I guess I should head on going."
"Yeah. I'm also going somewhere." He gives me a space to get in. We were both in the elevator.
"And thanks Mia. For real. You're a great friend. I did made a mistake for breaking up with you after sixteen years."
"Anthony it's fine."
"No. It's not. I see now you have matured a lot, especially Dylan." The doors open. He leaves without saying goodbye. I guess the old Anthony is coming back. I went to the mail box. I open my slot. So much mail of paying bills, newspaper, magazines and hey, the invitation that i send out for Dylan and Gerald's wedding. Good choice of invite design. Dylan must of loved my suggestion. But I was late to work so I put all the mail back into my slot. Shit I forgot to put in the invitation.

I called a uber. Great! The driver is running late because of traffic! That's all that I needed. Then Anthony pulls up with his car. "Hey, seems this little lady needs a ride."
"Ha ha, very funny."
"Come on that wasn't a joke on purposely. You need a ride?"
"Um, im fine. Just waiting for my uber."
"Sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay suit yourself." He begins driving. Not this again. Not like high school.
"No, wait." He stops "Um, sure. I would like for you to give me a ride to work."
"I knew you would say that."
"Yeah, didn't see that coming." He opens the door and starts to drives. I tell him the directions to where to go. Hope he doesn't over react that I work with Gerald and Dylan.

We arrived to the office building. He parks at the parking lot. "Well thanks for the ride. Really appreciate it."
"No problem Mia." I get my bag. I open the door and I didn't see the invitation fall out from my bag. "Mia." He gives a good stare.
"What's..." I look at him reading the invitation and then him. "Yeah I just got that in the mail today." He hands me the invitation. "You okay?"
"Yeah. It's just. I never knew she was actually going to get married."
"Yeah, um, me neither." I close the door. "I'll text you later. Of Gerald and Dylan if they are actually wanting to talk to you."
"Yeah." He turns on the engine. "Later Mia"
"Bye." I get away from the car and he drives away. Okay it's game time. I walk in the building. I put away the invitation this time we'll in my bag. I leave my bag in my desk. I went to Dylan's office. I open the door and she wasn't there.

Odd of her not showing up. I went to Gerald's office. "Hey, um Gerald." He was working on some of his paperwork.
"Oh hey Mia. What's up?"
"Do you know where's Dylan by any chance?"
"Oh yeah, she said she couldn't come today because she was taking Suz to the doctor and I told her I would be there in less than five minutes. Or until she calls me. But tomorrow she'll be back tomorrow to finish some last details of the wedding."
"That's great but I really need to talk to you. It's kinda urgent."
"Okay? What is it?" I close the door and sit down in the chair. "Is it something bad that I don't know of?"
"Sorta. I don't know how to say it but here it goes. Anthony came by to my place. He said he wanted to talk, actually. No fights, no arguments, and no involving the cops. He actually wants to apologize for everything he has affected negatively. Look I know you don't want to or Dylan want to because both of you are done like officially done but he's is saying the truth. I know who the really Anthony."
"Look Mia, I know you have something going on with Anthony Trujillo and I don't wanna know about it...."
"Please Gerald. He's just asking that. No money, nothing materialistic, he doesn't want to cause bullshit, he just want to talk. If anything bad happens I promise i won't bring this up ever again."
"Okay fine. Tell Mr. Trujillo I will talk with him but not Dylan. I have to go now." He gets up from his desk and walks to the door and leaves. I quickly leave his office to my desk. I look for my phone. I texted Anthony:
Me: Anthony? I talk with Gerald. He said he will talk to you.
Anthony: yeah. When?
Me: I'm not sure but he said he's willing to.
Anthony: okay. Can you do me one last favor?
Me: Anthony I've done so much and I feel guilty doing this behind Dylan's back
Anthony: please?
Me: okay.
Anthony: can you please be there when me and Gerald talk.
Me: sure?
Anthony: yeah, cause if you're there I'm not going to do anything stupid
Me: okay 
Okay, I hope it goes well when Gerald tells me when he wants to call Anthony.

Gerald version
So this just happened. Mia asked me no, Anthony told Mia if he can ACTUALLY talk to me. Don't know how will this end up. My gut tells me it will end up badly since the last few incidents. Part of me says I don't want to do it but part of me says I want to do it. And worse cause I'm doing this behind Dylan. I arrived home since my babygirls were waiting for me. I opened the door, both of them sitting down. "Hey baby." Dylan said with a smile. She stands up with Suz and carries her to walk at me
"Hey gorgeous." I kissed her "I missed both of my girls. And Mia was looking for you at the office."
"She was?"
"Yeah, you know finalizing stuff of the wedding."
"Oh." She checks her watch. "Oh god, we're going to be late for Suz first check up." She hand me to her
"Okay, got everything?"
"Keys, baby bag, phones, money. Suz medical paperwork."
"You forgot one thing."
"What?"
"My kiss." I smirked at her. "That's the one thing you forgot."
She giggles. "You're cute." She kisses Suz. "Of course." She kisses me after she gave a small kiss to Suz. We left home to the doctor clinic.

At the clinic, we were in the a kids waiting room. Suz was in my lap, I was making silly faces, blowing raspberries on her cheeks. She laughs, one of the most cutest laughs I've ever heard. Dylan was next to us, laughing and touching my hair. "Your beard is growing back."
"Yeah, i know. Why you want me to shave it off?"
"No. Keep it like that. Cause you look hot with that beard."
I smirked at her "yeah?"
"Yeah." The door opened. We stopped flirting as soon as the doctor came in. "Was I interrupting something?"
"No Dr Allison." Dylan said as she was trying be act normal again.
"Yeah were fine."
"Okay. So today is baby Suzanne first check up."
"Yeah I know, my baby girl is growing up so fast but I don't have to worry much cause soon we'll have baby Gillum no. 2." I stand next to Dylan and rub her stomach. She stares at me, a sign to stop embarrassing myself in front of Suz doctor. The doctor checks on her. Suz is the most healthiest baby. Nothing to worry about. "She is done yet with her check up?"
"Gerald, let the doctor do her job." Dylan said annoyed
"It's okay. The only thing she needs is her shot. You know most babies cry at this."
"Not my daughter." I said confident
"Gerald, Suz is just a baby. She will cry because of the needle."
"She won't." I got Suz from the baby table. I sat down first to the chair then sat Suz in my lap. "Ok Suz, your a tough girl. You're a Gillum, nothing hurts us. Not even a simple shot."
"Oh Gerald." Dylan said and rolled her eyes. Then sat down next to us. She grabs Suz hand.
"Okay I'm going to count to three. 1...2....3" she inserts the needle to Suz upper arm. She began to cry. Then the doctor takes it off. She bandage it. "It's okay Suz, daddy here to make it all better." I kiss the bandage where her first shot was. She calms down.
"I told you." Dylan said.
"I just thought she was going to be tough like her daddy."
"The next appointment will be before she turns one. You guys can pick up the date to come back."
"Thank you Dr Allison." Dylan said and shake her hand.
"No problem have a nice day." She leaves the room. "How is she?"
"She's better. Okay, okay. You were right. I was wrong."
"It's okay." We left the room. Dylan and I were hungry so we went to the diner close to the house. Suz fell asleep on the way to the diner. We arrived to the diner but the paparazzi were there first as always. I got a blanket to cover Suz from all the flash's of the paparazzi camera. Dylan put on her sunglasses. "Babe? Can you put mine sunglasses on?"
She walks to me, she get my sunglasses from my shirt since it was hanging on. She helps me to put it on. Then we walked inside the diner.

We arrived home from the diner. Dylan went inside of the house. Mia was waiting for her and me. She wanted to talk to Dylan about the final touches of the wedding. But that was a cover up because i was going to actually talk to Anthony.

After an hour she was done talking to Dylan. "Gerald, he's outside waiting for you."
"Okay hold on a sec."
"Mkay." She leaves. I go to the home office. I open the door "Hey Imma go to the store."
"Why?"
"Didn't we need Suz milk and something else that I forgot."
"Oh yeah. Drive safely baby." I walk to her and gave her a kiss
"I will babygirl." I get the keys from the desk and leave the office. I get my jacket from the couch and left the house.

Mia version
I left right after me and Dylan were finishing up anything else for the wedding. I was shaking a lot. Nervous mostly. "Can you stop being all paranoid and walking around? Your giving me a headache."
"No i can't because I'm nervous."
"Nervous of what?"
"You AND Gerald causing another fight outside of their house!"
"Mia it won't happen. Just sit here and let's talk." He grabs my hands. I blushed a little
"Okay." We stood outside of his car. "So what you been up to?"
"You know the same, but packing up my stuff to leave."
"So wait... you're actually leaving? To New Jersey?"
"Yeah, since I got nothing else here to do. Maybe leave and travel the world."
"So you weren't going...."
"Me, going to the wedding? Mia you know Dylan and Gerald don't want me there. They don't want me to breath the same oxygen as them."
"Your just exaggerating." Then I see Gerald walking out. "Oh boy! Here he comes." He begins walking towards us.
"Hey Mia."
"Hi Gerald." He looks at Anthony. "I'll just leave you two to talk." I went to the other side. Then they stood there. Are they kidding me "Come on! I thought you both wanted to talk!"
"We do but under one condition." Anthony said
"What is it?"
"Stay here like around here. Where you can see us."
"Okay I'll go to the house, the front porch so I can have my eye on both of you. So no fights nor arguments. Deal?"
"Deal." They both said. I walked to the front porch and sat down on the chair.

Gerald version
We were quiet at some point. I could see Mia looking at us dead ass. That look scares me. She mouths to talk. Anthony lights up a cigarette. "Cigarette?" He offers one
"Nah, I stop smoking."
"Oh, you stopped because..."
"For Dylan and my daughter." I looked down "so, what did you want to talk about."
"Uh, there's no point to start it but I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being a dick, to you, Dylan and to your daughter. Mostly to both of you. I didn't know why. I think because my family had this ego to her, I had to continue it."
"And you thought it was good to that?"
"No i felt so embarrassed, destroyed mostly an asshole. Even to my sister that I lived for the most long of my childhood. I promised her so much stuff like to protect her, to be with her in the good and the fucking bad and I didn't. I broke all the promises because I had to obey the stupid evil egotistical asshole of my family. I lost her and Mia."
"Mia? Why Mia?"
"Mia was my everything. I love her. I'm still in love with her but she doesn't want to be with me because I broke her heart for the most stupidest reason. I want to tell her but I can't. Don't t you see that I'm losing the people that I love." He begins to cry and then hugs me. "I don't know what to fucking do. Leaving the Bay is the only fucking way to forget what I've caused."
"You don't have to. I know how does it feel. And I know, the last time you were a complete dick to everyone and I didn't know whether to believe you or not. Now I see you've change."
"I lost everyone."
"No you didn't. You can get them back."
"Mia moved on. I can see it in her, she forgot about me."
"Dude she still loves you as a friend. She has a very special spot for you."
"What about Dylan? She hates me."
"Hates you? Come on. The only thing she wants is for you to be in her life again. Meaning being at the wedding. She cried the very few nights blaming herself because all of this was her fault. And I was the one who had to wipe the tears off. She misses you."
"I never knew that. I thought all this time that you both hated me."
"No, now I don't before I did. We humans make mistakes, we're not that perfect as we think we are. Believe me, I fucked up once and almost lost her forever but i changed. And so you do. And that's why i forgive you. In everything."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you're my new brother in law and the uncle of my baby daughter. I know how hurt you are even when you came multiple times to my house."
"Oh, well I'm sorry for beating you up badly. I didn't mean to."
"Yeah im sorry for beating you up." He wipes off his tears "well I gotta run to the store to pick up milk and something else."
"Yeah I must head on to." Then Mia gets up from the porch and walks to us "so nothing happened? I shouldn't call the cops or anything?"
"Nah, we're good." Said Anthony
"Good. I gotta go. Later." She leaves. Anthony get his car keys "so I guess I'll see you around."
"Around?"
"Well you know, gotta go home, listen to my parents bullshit and their yells, ignore them continue packing up to leave."
"To jersey?"
"Yeah."
"When?"
"Before Saturday. I'm turning to get everything going in plan."
"So you're not going to the wedding?"
"Um no, actual since I don't have an invitation or you and Dylan don't want me there so what's the point."
"Come on, you know if you go to the wedding Dylan will be so happy."
"Will she?"
"Yeah. And you don't need an invitation because I'm taking you as my guest. And because Dylan wants you to hand her over to me. That's her wish. And I want to make it come true. So what do you say?"
"Yeah, I'm down."
"Alright. I'll call you to tell you the plan."
"Wait. You don't have my number."
"I'll get it off from Mia."
"Alright, take care."
"Take care." He gets in to his car. He turns on the engine and drives away. I get in to my car and drive to the store. By now Dylan is wondering and worrying why I'm taking so long in the store.

Honestly I don't hold grudges. I understand that he had to do it because his family told him. He just needed someone to hear him out, his version and that's what I did. And now I'm granting Dylan's wish. On the wedding day she will have Anthony walk her down the aisle. Your welcome my love. All I want you for now on is to be happy and that will be happening as long you're with me.
