The One I Can't Have ( A Riker Lynch fan fiction story)

Chapter 6

* so I heard you took my daughter out late tonight...* Josh texted. How do I respond to that, I think to myself. Why does he all of a sudden care? I mean she doesn't have preschool tomorrow, and I didn't put her in harms way. I just don't get why he cares. He never cared much about her before unless other people were around.

I text back * I took Her out yes. We needed some time together and she enjoyed herself. She felt special for the first time in a long time tonight*

i get get a final text back from Josh, *well maybe you should have better parenting choices. I don't need people asking me why my daughter is out late at a concert for christ's sake!*

i decide ides not to text back. I don't need this fight. He has people watching me? This is ridiculous. I have been Maddie's sole parent since the day she was born. I did everything on my own minus working without any help from Josh. He has no right to tell me what I can and cannot do with my daughter.

i am not going to let him get to me this time. I am tired of crying over him. I can't do this anymore and even though it has only been 24 hours since I left the house, I decide we cannot repair this. I took my ring off and put it in my jewelry box where I won't see it anymore, took a deep breath and said "goodbye Josh". i crawled into bed hoping tomorrow will be like how tonight at the concert was, fun.

Riker

we got home from the show and we were all pumped up. It was so much fun. Rydel, Rocky and I could not sleep so we decided to make something to eat and threw a movie in.

We made french toast for a late night snack. I love French toast And Rydel is the best cook.

"Rocky, Riker, it's ready!" Rydel calls for us.

"Thanks Del! This looks and smells delicious!" I admire the French toast. I am so glad Rydel likes to cook. She cooks like mom for sure.

"So Riker, what did you say to that young mom before she left?" Rydel questions.

I almost choke on my food. Not expecting to be interrogated but then again it is Rydel. " Nothing. Just telling her how cute her daughter it. I did find it weird that she was there by herself. I noticed she is married and wondered where her husband was. If I was that little girls dad, I would want to be at her first concert." I say nonchalantly.

" Riker thinks she was cute" Rocky chimed in. Rydel's eyes grew wide. How did Rocky know? I thought to myself. Was he watching when I had her put her number in my phone?

" Riker, if she is married she is off limits. You should know that! Is that why you grabbed Maddie and brought her onstage?" Gosh Rydel, I think to myself. just relax!

" No, I grabbed Maddie and brought her in stage because I thought she would love it." I said then I surprise my self yet again, " and to impress her mother..." I mumble to myself out loud hoping Rocky and Rydel ddint hear me. Then I hear forks clinking on the plates with bother Rydel And Rocky staring at me. "Riker!" They both say.

" Thanks for the French toast delly, but I am gonna head to bed. Love you guys" I left before I get lectured again. I climbed into bed holding my phone. I type in a text to Brianna * thanks for letting Maddie come on stage with us tonight. She is one adorable little girl* but I drift off to sleep before I get the chance to press send.
