*Willow*No one had ever gotten me flowers before. It seems silly and stupid to long for, but I couldn’t help it. I had seen all the women in my life receive flowers for birthdays or Valentine’s Day or apologies, but I had never received them myself.I had no idea my time was coming.“I have a delivery for Willow Monroe.” I was shocked to hear my name. I looked up from my computer curiously. In the delivery guy’s hands was a bouquet of lavender roses. I had never seen anything so beautiful!I got up and signed the clipboard before the guy handed the flowers to me.“Who are they from?” Jude asked. “I have no idea.” I laughed slightly as I went back to my seat.All eyes were on me as I took the card and opened it.Just something to brighten your day sweetheart. I love you so much you brilliant beautiful woman. You are everything and more to me.Love Stud MuffinI glanced over at Nathaniel who was trying to keep the smile off of his face. I couldn’t believe he had sent me flowers! Th

*Nathaniel*“What on earth are you doing, Nathaniel Scott Watson?” Mom demanded. “I’m kissing my girlfriend.” I said firmly.I thought Mom would crumple on the spot. Dad was holding on to her to steady her.“Willow Anne Monroe!” Bianca shrieked. “You explain this right now!”“I’m in love with him Mom,” Willow said, grabbing my hand. “This is my real boyfriend.”“Oh this is fucked up.” Robin said.“Watch that mouth, young man!” Scarlett snapped.“No, no! This is not happening!” Bianca stated. “Willow, you will end this insane and clear sham of a relationship.”“Sham?” I demanded.“Yes! This is clearly a ploy by you and your demon mother to throw my sweet girl off of her game! You obviously seduced her in order to take her down because you knew she was too powerful!” “Oh cut the shit, Bianca!” Mom exclaimed. “This is you and Willow trying to derail my son! She’s clearly distracting him so that she can beat him in that internship! I’m not stupid!”“Could have fooled me!”“Oh my god sto

*Willow*Skyler and Avery looked as though they would faint.“Excuse me?” Skyler whispered. “I…found my biological parents and I’ve been meeting up with them.”“Why didn’t you tell us?” Avery asked.“I was scared. I just wanted to know them on my own first. Just in case they weren’t good people. But they are. They’re amazing. A-and I didn’t want to go by myself so Willow came with me for support. She was the only one I could trust.”“You could have trusted me!” Joy cried. “I kept asking you what was wrong and you refused to tell me. You purposely lied to me and instead told Willow.”Yeah that was going to cause some serious issues in their relationship. “Levi, do you realize how dangerous that could have been?” Avery asked. “You had no idea what these people were like and you put yourself and Willow in danger.”“They’re not addicts anymore. They’re good people.” Levi insisted. “Willow, tell them.”“They are good people,” I agreed. “They care about Levi a lot. And they don’t want to

*Willow*I didn’t ask anymore questions.Levi and I left immediately. Mark met us at the hospital. “What happened?” Levi asked. “Miranda fell down the stairs while doing laundry. I guess she slipped and then tumbled down with the basket. She’s got a sprained ankle and possibly some broken ribs.”“From a tumble down the stairs?” I questioned.“It was a really bad fall.” Mark informed me. “That's too bad.” Levi sighed. “Yeah, it was very scary. Thank you for being here.”“Of course.”We sat down as Mark went to go to talk to the doctor.“Please don’t mention you’re not my girlfriend.” Levi whispered. “There’s too much going on.”“I won’t. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you it was Nathaniel.”“It’s okay, I’m just..it complicates things, but if he makes you happy, then I’m happy.” “That’s sweet of you.” I kissed his cheek.“So Miranda is doing well. Willow, do you want to see her? I think she could use a friendly female face.”“Um, sure.”I slowly walked into the room.Miranda was sitting

*Willow*“So…Mom couldn’t make it?” I asked. “She was busy drying her hair,” Dad answered. “Sounds about right.”“And what’s my mother doing?” Nathaniel questioned. “Washing her shoes.” Scott replied. “Busy woman.”“So what is this about?” Willow asked. “Cuz I’m not apologizing to that woman, just so you know.”“That woman is your mother, Willow!” Dad hissed. “She loves you very much.”“You know better than anyone else what she’s like Daddy!”“Huh.” Nathaniel whispered. “What?” I whispered back. “Weird hearing you call someone else that.”“Oh shut up.”“Can you guys be serious for a second?” Scott asked. “Only one.” Nathaniel smiled.“You two need to fix it with your mothers.” Dad stated. “This is out of control. This last week has been hell in our home.”“And that’s my fault?” I asked. “No one told her to react that way.”“What did you think was going to happen Willow? Seriously, honey. When you kissed Nathaniel at that party in front of all those people what did you think was
