Outfit of the Chapter
What am I supposed to do?
A few hours later Alex ran through the door and she just stared at him. He stared at her and there they stood for a moment, before she ran up to him and hugged him.
"They took out kids?" Alex asked.
"Yes" she cried.
"Why? Did they give you a reason?" he asked and cupped his hands over her cheeks.
"They said someone had reported us to them, and that there would be a trial. And during the trial our kids couldn’t stay with us" she said.

Jack was confused and frustrated.
"Why did Alex just leave like that, and won’t answer our calls?" he asked. Then he saw that Zack just stared at his laptop screen. Really shocked.
"Because of this" he said and turned his laptop around. It was a picture of Max and Alex, and then a title that made them all just stare.
Mr and Mrs Gaskarth loses their children to Social Services.
Jack just stared, so did Rian. Did they read right? Social Services? Alex and Max had lost Tigerlily, Liam and Noah?

Max was sitting in front of two people I strict clothes, Alex was sitting in another room talking to two other people.
"So Mrs Gaskarth, tell us about your job" the woman said.
"I am currently not working" Max said and looked at her.
"Why not? How are you expecting to take care of your children without a job?" the man asked. Max stared at them.
"I’m staying home to take care of our children, since Alex is having a very difficult time working, always being on tour and all" she said.
"But you still need to work, to get enough money to your children" he said.
"I have over 30 million dollars saved up for my kids, Alex is the vocalist in a very popular band… Why would I have to work?" she asked and stared at them. They checked through their papers and jumped to something else.
"We had a talk with Alex earlier, and through what he’s saying and from our papers you are not really fit to be a mother" the woman said.
"Excuse me… Did you say that Alex said… that I’m not fit to be a mother?!" Max snapped.

Alex interview
Alex swallowed nervously. All he wanted was to get the kids back. Get them back and leave, go home and cuddle with them for hours in front of the tv. He was nervous because he was scared about how they would treat Max.
"So Mr Gaskarth, tell me about your family?" a woman asked.
"It’s me, Max and our three kids" he answered.
"What’s the name of your three kids?" she asked.
"Tigerlily, Noah and Liam Gaskarth" he answered.
"Is it true that Maxine Gaskarth was forced to go through therapy after her second pregnancy?" she asked.
"Yes" Alex answered.
"How come?" she asked and looked at him.
"Don’t you have the reason in your papers?" Alex sighed.
"Answer the question please" she continued.
"Because Max got into a depression, thinking she was a failure as a woman since she never got to do a ‘normal’ birth and just two C-section" Alex answered. The woman nodded and wrote it down.
"Do you see her as failure?" she asked.
"Seriously? You’re asking me that?" Alex asked, really annoyed.
"Answer" she demanded.
"No, I do not see her as a failure" he snapped.
"Do you think that her mental health is going to be a problem for the kids?" she asked.
"Of course it can be a problem, but the kids are the ones making her better. Making her happy" he said.
"What kind of problems?" she asked, ignoring his last comment.
"If she’s feeling down the kids pick up her negative vibe" he shrugged. She nodded and wrote something down.
"So her depression is a problem?" she asked. Alex sighed and pulled fingers through his hair. He was getting really annoyed at this woman.
"Yes" he sighed and just wanted this to be done with.

They read her therapist paper out, her diagnose with depression after the pregnancy and told her what Alex had told them. That her depression was a problem for the kids future. She just stared at them. Alex had said that? She teared up and had no idea what to say. He really said that?
"We think we have a solution for the two of you though" the man said.
"And what is that?" Max said, trying to snap at them but failed and her voice almost cracked.
"The only solution would be for you to hand over the custody of the kids fully to Alexander Gaskarth, and surrender yourself to be put in a mental institute to get over your depression. A rehabilitation center" the man said and Max just stared at him. Was he serious?
"Hand ver the custody… does that mean we have to divorce to get the kids back?" Max asked.
"Yes, and for you to get into the rehabilitation center" the woman said.
"I have to divorce Alex?" Max asked and her voice cracked again.
