Stacey's Pov
Pulling up at Angel's after dropping Mya off with Sian, I climb out my car and head in through the reception not seeing anyone.. then Angelica appears looking kinda pissed but she smiles at me nonetheless.
"Hi Angelica, can you fit me by any chance I ask her smiling.
"Erm, let me check, one second hun" she says scrolling through a tablet.
"Yes, now actually you're lucky" she tells me smiling.
"Both nails and my eyebrows waxed and shaped" I tell her with a smile.
"Yeah great, let's go" she says escorting me to a seat.
"What colour hun?" she asks me and I look at all the nail polish humming.
"Red on both please" I tell her and she nods going to collect the polish.

I watch as she finishes up and squirts cream and rubs along my brows gently
"Thanks babes I love them a lot" I tell her running my hand over my brows looking in the mirror she holds up for me.
"You look gorgeous babe. You're welcome" she tells me smiling and turns when I hear the bell on the door and I look to see someone very familiar. Well, damn it's been a while
He has a conversation with Angelica and I walk over to them. Jason looks at me then away awkwardly and I roll my eyes. This shit again..
"Well, are you not gonna say hello, Jason?" I say to him feeling Angelica's eyes on me before looking at him.
"Huh? You good, Stacey" he says and looks at me like he doesn't want me here. Well, rude.
"You know me.. but she's adorable, I didn't know you had a baby" I say yo them looking into the pushchair. Wait.. okay, she's cute as hell but.. there's something about her.. oh my god!
"She's my adopted daughter hun, it's a long story" Angelica says to me and I nod my head unsure. What the fuck does she mean adopted. Where the fuck is Liam!?
I look straight at Jason raising my brow.
"Wait, she's Liam's daughter.. right?" I ask Jason but I'm looking back into the pushchair. Oh my god. My baby's baby. I can't believe. I wanna take her and run. He'll definitely come to me then.
"Yeah, she is.. but we need to go angel" he says and I raise my brow at him. Still the same Jason. Always avoiding because that's what it feels like. Why?
"Ohh.. okay, well, thanks again Angelica, I'll see you around" I tell her and and walk towards the reception.
"Thanks" I tell her as she hands me the scanner to tap my card. Exiting the salon and all I can think about is seeing Liam's babygirl. She looks like him bless her.
I climb back into my car and look at my nails. I hope I get to see Liam soon. But I still dont get why he'd act like he didn't know me. That's weird.. and my questions keep piling up..
Hearing my phone ping, I pull it out my bag to see a text.
Sian: Mya's happy and playing with the twins, take your time babe Xx
Smiling at the text, I quickly reply.
Me: Thanks babe means a lot. I won't take to long Xx
Hitting send, I put my phone back into my bag and make my way to my apartment I need to go through everything while I can.
Pulling off I head back quickly

Climbing out my car, I walk to my mail box and grab all the mail and make my way up the stairs shuffling through them quckily. I open my door and take off my coat sitting down at the kitchen table, I sort them into categories and come across a letter with STACEY JOHNSON scrolled across the envelope. I rip it open and find Liam's handwriting.
I scan through the letter and my heart breaks for him. He's miserable and lonley just how I am. I thought he was happy. And he's waiting for me. Fuck I knew I should of came home sooner.
I flip through the rest of the mail and find another letter with the same name onit.
Baby where are you?
I can't do this without you. She's gone.. Dead.. My daughter has no mum.. and she's left with me as a dad. We need you baby.
Why have you still not come back. I wrote to you twice now and you're still gone. I'm soo sorry baby please forgive me. I sit on your doorstep every day waiting for you but your just not coming back to me are you. I missed my chance with you haven't I? Please tell me you still love me. I need it beautiful. I need you. We both do. Come back to me baby
I love you soo much Stacey Johnson
Always and Forever yours Liam XxXx
My poor baby. What did I do? Why did I run when he needs me.
I feel the tears falling thinking of my king and how fucking shit his life is right now. I know how he feels.. but what does he mean dead? What the fuck happened? Is that why Angelica mentioned about the adoption. Fuck, where the hell is my king!?
I just sit there staring at the letters wishing I never went away now. My king needed me and I abandoned him again and I say he needs to not run and that's what I did. Shit!
I find another one and it's shorter this time.
Hello beautiful
This is the last letter I'll ever write to you. The message is loud and clear and I totally understand and accept your decision to not want me any more. I'm trying to get my life together and be the man my daughter deserves. I miss you baby, I hope to see you one day. I love you Stacey Johnson.
Always and Forever Yours Liam XxXx
I sit there shaking my head at the letter. I need to find him. I made my decision 13 years ago. I want him and him only.
It will always and forever be him. No one will ever match my kings love for me.
Where are you Liam? Come back to me please baby..
