I Can't Even Concentrate

Demi's POV

It's been a few more hours now and Carter was down for a nap and I have not left my spot on the couch since he did go to sleep. I have only looked at my phone to see Odell's location and he landed in California about forty minutes ago and I knew he would be here any minute. I was optimistic that this whole article would be a lie, but TMZ is pretty damn accurate. I jumped about a foot in the air when I heard the front door open and I looked over and saw Odell walking in. My tears started all over again when I saw him.

"Hey baby." He says smiling and I roll my eyes annoyed. "What's wrong?" He asks laughing.

"Have you seen TMZ?" I ask him with a small crack in my voice.

"You know damn well I don't look at that shit." He says walking over to me and bending down to kiss me, but I turn my head quickly. "Yo, what's your problem?" He asks frustrated as I stand up.

"Who is Lauren?" I ask him crossing my arms over my chest and his eyes got so fucking wide. My heart broke all over again because I could see a guilty expression come over his face. "And what about Lily?" I then ask with my tears starting to fall. "Huh Odell? Who the fuck are they? And why were you practically fucking them in that picture? They were all over you and you looked like you fucking loved it!" I continue raising my voice slightly.

"What fucking picture?" He asks and I groan as I walk away and into the kitchen. I couldn't even stand to look at him. I put my head in my hands as I leaned on the counter and just started sobbing. I knew Odell was probably going crazy on his phone right now to see what I was talking about and I was right because he walked in the kitchen a couple minutes later trying to explain everything. "Demi, nothing like that happened, okay? I didn't fuck them or anything. I don't even know who they are." He says and I felt his hand on my arm and I shrugged him off.

"Don't touch me." I mumble as I walk around the island to give us some space.

"I promise you, I barely know them." He says and I shake my head.

"Well you looked pretty fucking friendly. They were sitting on your lap Odell! You left a club with one of them! She was practically naked on top of you. Like what the fuck is wrong with you!" I shout at him finally looking up at him. "Did you have sex with them?" I ask again quieter.

"No baby, I swear." He says and I roll my eyes and grimace at the pet name. "Yeah, I got a little close to them, but I swear to you that I didn't have sex with them. I swear on Carter I didn't." He continues and that just made me angrier.

"Don't you ever swear on our sons life." I grumble out and he looks down.

"I didn't do anything baby. I wouldn't do that to you." He says quietly as he cautiously walks around the counter.

"I need to go." I whisper as I back away before he gets to close.

"Let's just talk. Don't go." He tries to compromise and I shake my head as I grab my keys sniffling and wiping my tears in the process.

"I need to." I mumble.

"No, your upset. I don't want you driving like that. I'll go, okay? I'll leave you alone, but we gotta talk later." He says grabbing my hand for my keys and I whimpered slightly at his touch. "Baby, I swear to you I can explain everything. I love you, okay?" He says and I look the other way as he takes the keys out of my hand. I honestly didn't know what to make of all of that. I still didn't believe him, but I appreciated that he left and gave me my space because I did not want to be around him right now. I didn't even realize Odell had left until the door opened and closed and I let out a loud sob because I know at the back of my mind that Odell did cheat on me. He may not of had sex with them, but he most likely still got close to it and that's fucking heartbreaking. This is the man I'm supposed to live the rest of my life with only for it to be nearly over not even two years in. Dallas ended up coming over and I was kind of glad because I needed someone to talk to. I needed someone to hold me and listen to me. I also needed someone to watch Carter for me because I knew Odell would be back later and he was. It was that evening and I was in my music room torturing myself by looking at those pictures all over again when I heard the door open and close. I felt my heart start to race, but I didn't move from my spot. Eventually, I heard Odell walk into the music room and I saw out of the corner of my eye as he just stared at me.
