Abandoned

Leaving Bentley

A little couple weeks have passed. Bentley has been spending a lot of time with his dad and has had a strong connection grown between them. I actually think Dylan wants to be in Bentley's life for his sake, not just to be a dick.

Today we have court so he can legally get half custody. He's been going to classes for both his anger and his drinking. Both of his counsers are talking on his behalf. I have to be there since I'm the one with legal custody of Bentley at the moment.

Kaiser comes with me. Savanna and Aaron stay home with Avalynn and Bentley.

The trial starts. It doesn't take long. Every weekend Dylan gets Bentley from Friday night to Sunday night. I get him weekdays except for every other Wednesday which is Dylan's night with him. Dylan is scheduled to have drug tests once a month for a year and counseling until that year is up.

We finish and walk out. I shake hands with Dylan's lawyer and he leaves. I go over to Dylan. "Guess I'll see you Friday then." I say. He nods and leaves. Kaiser comes over.

"How you holding up?"

"... We'll see come friday." I say heading to the car.

~~~~~~

Friday comes. Its almost eight and Dylan should be here any minute. Dylan has never been left alone with Bentley and I'm really nervous. I've never been away from Bentley except for that time CPS took him before the trial...

Im packing his bag. He's downstairs with Avalynn and Kaiser.

I finish, put the bag around my shoulder and walk into Aarons room where both Aaron and Savanna are.

"Hey. Bents about to leave if you wanna say bye." They go to say bye but come back up afterwards.

I sit with Bentley on my lap waiting for Dylan.

"Hey. I'm gonna take Ava up for a bath.." Kaiser says.

"Okay." He goes and I wait and wait. Nine comes and still nothing until I get a text from him.

"Lost track of time. I'm setting up Bents room... Can you drive him over?" He attaches an address. I roll my eyes since I'm in my pajamas, no bra, and slippers.

"Sure." I text back as I pick a sleeping Bentley up, grabbing my keys, and heading for the car.

~~~~~

"Come in." He says as I get there. I texted Kaiser on the way telling him I was dropping Bentley off.

I look around and see baby proof stuff all over the place. On doors, cabinets, nothings too low to the ground that Bentley could mess with something and get hurt... I'm actually impressed.

He shows me Bents room. He has a bed with a siding on it so he doesn't fall out, a changing table since he still wears diapers, most times pull ups except for when he sleeps, toys... It makes me feel better leaving him here.

I lay him down and kiss his forhead.

"Love you buddy." I say as I stand up and walk out. I put his bag down and turn to Dylan.

"Anything I need to know?" He asks.

"Don't let him drink out of anything but his sippy cup cause he will make a mess. he will get into anything and everything. he doesn't have a diaper on now which he probably should so if you wanna change him, that would be for your benefit. he wears pull ups except for when he goes to sleep cause he has accidents and diapers are more helpful. He sometimes tells you if he has to use the bathroom so he needs help if he's on the toilet. Don't give him anything to eat or drink after seven, he'll never go down. Um... He has nightmares. A cup of warm milk usually settles him and helps him fall back to sleep. He's up by seven to be ready for that. Don't let him stay up later than eight or else he will be very grumpy. Oh and when you give him a bath, be careful not to get water in his ears.. He hates that."

"Uh okay." He says.

"Here I wrote it down." I say handing it to him

He nods and puts it on his fridge with a magnet.

He turns to me and I stare at him.

"Look I know your not to comfortable with leaving Bentley here with me but,"

"You raped me... You left me and then kidnapped him... Why should I be comfortable?"

"I changed... I know what I did was wrong, and honestly... When I first tried to get custody of Bentley is was because I was being a douche... But then I started hanging out with him, and I was going to counseling... I wanna do this for him..."

"I'll believe it when I see it... And I swear to god if he comes back with even a scratch on him..."

"Don't worry." He says. "We'll be fine."

I nod and eventually end up leaving after kissing Bentley bye one more time.

I get into the car and cry, missing my baby boy already.

Hey guys! So most of you didn't want Dylan to have anything to do with Bentley but while Bentley's away on weekends, its gonna start becoming about Savanna and Aaron again. I know its gone off the topic of them recently so I'm gonna start writing with them again...

Any ideas on what you want to happen with them?

In case anyone us unaware, Aaron and Savanna both right now have mixed feelings for Demi. Savanna thought she hated her but after the trial day she is now unaware of her feelings. Should something happen to make her more aware whether its make her hate demi or love demi? What about with Aaron?
