Someone Special-Braddison

Chapter 10

Addison POV:

We have been back from Las Vegas for about two days. And it was time for me to go home finally. This was something Bryce didn't want as he was enjoying having me all to himself. And I wasn't complaining about it at all. But, it was time for me to go home and to find out answers. We had today off for some holiday, so I felt like it was time to go home. Bryce had offered to drive me home, but it was something I needed to figure out by myself. As I was curling my hair, I felt arms wrap around my waist. Bryce then began to nuzzle his head into my neck. 

B: You sure you have to go?

A: Yes, I do, Hall. I know how much you would like to keep me captive. But, I have to go home at one point. I need answers, and as much as I love your parents. I don't want to overstay my welcome. 

B: You aren't overstaying your welcome. They want you here. I want you here. Baby, please stay. How am I supposed to sleep without you in my arms? My bed is gonna feel so empty without you so please just stay. 

A: I love being here, buttercup, but I have to find out answers. I can't just hide away from all my problems. And they're my family. Even if they were in the wrong Bryce. I just got to figure stuff out so that I can really focus on us. 

B: What am I supposed to do without you?

A: Hang out with the boys. Do things without me. You will be fine, spend time with your dad. I know the chemo is getting to him. 

With the two weeks, I have been here. I watched Beckham go through his worst because of chemo, and as of right now, it wasn't looking good. The doctors said they were hoping it would be bad before it would be really good. But, at this point, they didn't know. I know this was tearing Bryce apart. We had spent so much time with his father, and I had gotten to love Bryce's family.  I knew me being here had allowed Bryce to think positively as I would speak to him about how he felt. And he would constantly tell me he was scared his dad and him were so close, and he couldn't imagine his life without him. 

B: I don't know Angel Face. I'm scared the doctors don't see it getting better. But, I am trying to stay positive right now. I don't know, having you here helps me. I am gonna be honest. It brings me peace. I honestly don't know what I would do without you during this time. So thank you for being here. I know you didn't have to, but you have been here. 

I turned my head around and kissed Bryce. He then got my bag and brought it downstairs. I looked around his room and looked at a couple of my closed I left in his closet. I knew by leaving some clothes. He would be able to still have my scent. I then noticed my favorite hoodie of his hanging up and decided to throw it in my Louie bag. I would need his scent as I didn't want to admit it, but I had no idea how I would sleep without him. As I walked downstairs, Lisa and Beckham were waiting for me. They pulled me into a hug. 

Beckham: So, now that you are leaving. You have to promise to come back every Saturday and Wednesday for dinner. 

A: Okay, I promise

Lisa: We will miss you, sweetie. If you ever need anything you come here. And if you need to come back, don't feel scared to come back. 

A: I will thank you guys again for all that you guys have done for me. I appreciate you two so much. And I love you both. 

As I walked outside, Bryce had my door opened. As I got into my car, Bryce closed the door. I started my car and rolled my window down, and looked at him. He began to rub my cheek with his thumb as I started in his eyes. I knew we both didn't know what I was walking into and he was scared for me. He was even more unsure as I was going alone. He pulled my face into him and kissed me nice and slowly. 

B: I love you, angel face. Call me after everything. 

A:  I love you too, and I will. 

As I backed out of the driveway, Bryce watched me drive away. As I drove back home, the road home seemed so familiar, yet so different. I didn't know what I was walking into coming back home. But, I knew I wouldn't be moving back in without answers. As I pulled into the driveway, I noticed my mother and my father were both there. She must have let him know that I would be coming home, and I was looking for answers. I opened my trunk and took my bag out of the car as I opened up the door. I looked into the home to see my mother and father outside in the backyard.  I walked into the backyard, and we all sat down at the table outside. 

Sheri: I am so happy you are finally home Adds. I've missed you so incredibly much.

A: I am home for answers, and if I don't get the answers I hoped for, I will be leaving. 

Sheri: Wow, straightforward. Where's Bryce?

A: He's home. This is something I have to do on my own. So why did you keep me away from my father?

Sheri: I kept you away because I was bitter. After all that time, we've spent together just to marry another woman and start a new family. He left me was embarrassing for me. I didn't want to allow your father to see you without me. 

Monty: And your mother was disrespecting not only me but my new wife. I sent you cards every birthday Addison. Didn't you get them?

A: What do you mean? Did you send birthday cards every year?

M: Tell her, Sheri. You probably kept all of them hidden in a box under your bed. You are such an ugly person Sheri. You really allowed our daughter to think I didn't care one bit about her. But why allow her to hate me when in reality, she should hate you.

S: I didn't want to be left alone. And if Addison knew that you were still reaching out to her. Then I was scared that Addison would want to live with you full time. So I did the one thing I could to keep my daughter close to me. I lied.  Besides Monty, you may not even be Addison's real father. 

M: What the hell do you mean, Sheri. 

S: Around the time we were together, I was cheating on you. So I guess we don't know if my keeping Addison away from her dad was even true because you may not even be her real dad.

A: Wow, mom, you just keep coming with the secrets. Did medical school screw with your head that bad? Because clearly, you have learned to lie to everyone and to manipulate the one person in which looked up to you the most. But, guess what? Now you've lost me. Not only did you keep my father away from me. But now I am finding out he may not even be my dad. So now I don't even know where I stand. Way to fuck up my life, mom. 

I got up from the dinner table and began to walk away.

S: ADDISON RAE EASTERLING SIT YOUR ASS BACK DOWN. YOU WILL NOT CONTINUE TO WALK OUT OF THIS HOUSE WHEN THINGS DON'T GO YOUR WAY.

A: And I will not continue being in this house with manipulating women. The past two times I've been inside of this house, I have figured out who you are. And you are not the women I expected you to be. But, guess what I think it's time for me to test my own DNA. So if you can do me this small favor, then maybe I will move back in. 

S: I will not badger with you, Addison.

M: Oh, but you will. It is what she deserves. And Addison, even if you aren't mine biologically. I will always consider you my daughter.

A: Thanks, dad. So mother, whos the other guy?

S: I don't remember his name. But, his last name was richards. 

*Guys, I will be back on my posting schedule. I just came back from vacation, and it was amazing. Can we talk about how crazy Atlanta was for braddison, wow?
