CHAPTER 5
Phoebe Paige
Kids, we only have 2 days until we leave the Philippines. Do you want to go somewhere else before we leave?
Scottie
Two days? Isn't that so quick mom?
Shan
Yeah, time goes by faster.
Phoebe Paige
I've already booked our flight. We don't have a choice and also, mommy still has work waiting in Italy.
Shan
Can't we stay here with Aunt Madison? For maybe a week also mom?
Phoebe Paige
No. Your aunt also has work so she can't take care of you both at the same time.
Phoebe Paige
*opens the door*
Scott Taylor
Hi, how are you?
Phoebe Paige
What are you doing here?
Scott Taylor
Oh, I know everything. *smiles*
Phoebe Paige
What do you want? *stares at him*
Scott Taylor
Chill, I just want to visit my kids.
Phoebe Paige
What positive? *looks at the kids* Wait... D-did you...*shocked*
Scott Taylor
I..I did... I'm sorry for not telling you.
Scott Taylor
Hey, Let me talk to the kids first.
Phoebe Paige
Out now, or I'm calling the guards.
Scott Taylor
Okay...I'll just come back later.
Phoebe Paige
No, you are not coming back! *slamming the door*
Scottie
Are you mad? *crying*
Phoebe Paige
You both talked to him? I can't believe this... Pack your bags. We're leaving. *going inside her room*
Shan
B-but what about dad? *follows her*
Phoebe Paige
*looks at her* Are you choosing to stay here, Shan?
Scottie
Mom, please... *crying*
Phoebe Paige
I..I'm sorry, baby *hugging them*
Phoebe Paige
Can you give mom a time? It's just that... mommy is having a hard time right now.
Shan
We're sorry, Mom. *leaving*
Scottie
We're sorry. *leaving*
Phoebe Paige
It's not your fault. It's Mommy's. *sobbing*
Phoebe Paige
*calling Madison*
Phoebe Paige
Can you come here to watch the kids?
Madison
Why? What happened? Did you cry?
Phoebe Paige
Just come here if you're not busy, please...
Phoebe Paige
Can you call Scott and tell him to see the kids here? Call me when he leaves.
Madison
Why? Where are you going?
Phoebe Paige
I just want him and the kids to have time together since our flight is approaching. I won't be back unless he leaves, okay?
Madison
Are you okay? I can ask someone to take care of the kids. I'll come with you.
Phoebe Paige
No need, I'll be fine.
Shan
Mom, please don't leave. *cries*
Phoebe Paige
I'm not gonna leave, baby. I'm just giving you and your dad a time to be together.
Phoebe Paige
Please enjoy and think if you want to go back with me to Italy on Friday.
Shan
*hugging her* I'm sorry.
Phoebe Paige
It's fine. You can see mommy smiling, right?
Scottie
Mommy, please come back early. We will miss you.
