Chapter #14
Sam’s POV
Benny and I have been working on his album all week. We have decided we are calling it ‘Benji’s Album’ . I know not that creative. “Are you ready to record?” He asks me. “Yep we are doing ‘Without me’ right?” I double check. “Yeah that’s what we are starting with.” He says. “Ok we’ve got an hour till I Scarlett and I have to pick up the kids.” I tell him and he nods. “OK let’s do this.” I say. “Three two one.” I count down.

“Found you when your heart was broke”
“I filled your cup until it overflowed”
“Took it so far to keep you close (keep you close)”
“I was afraid to leave you on your own”
“I said I'd catch you if you fall”
“And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (all)”
“And then I got you off your knees”
“Put you right back on your feet”
“Just so you could take advantage of me”
“Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there?”
“Feeling so high but too far away to hold me”
“You know I'm the one who put you up there”
“Name in the sky”
“Does it ever get lonely?”
“Thinking you could live without me”
“Thinking you could live without me”
“Baby, I'm the one who put you up there”
“I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)”
“Thinking you could live without me”
“Live without me”
“Baby, I'm the one who put you up there”
“I don't know why (I don't know why, yeah yeah)”
“Gave love 'bout a hundred tries (hundred tries)”
“Just running from the demons in your mind”
“Then I took yours and made 'em mine (made 'em mine)”
“I didn't notice 'cause my love was blind”
“Said I'd catch you if you fall (fall)”
“And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all (all)”
And then I got you off your knees”
“Put you right back on your feet”
“Just so you can take advantage of me”
“Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there?”
“Feeling so high but too far away to hold me”
“You know I'm the one who put you up there”
“Name in the sky”
“Does it ever get lonely?”
“Thinking you could live without me”
“Thinking you could live without me”
“Baby, I'm the one who put you up there”
“I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)”
“Thinking you could live without me”
“Live without me”
“Baby, I'm the one who put you up there”
“I don't know why, yeah”
“You don't have to say just what you did”
“I already know (I know)”
“I had to go and find out from them”
“So tell me how's it feel (oh-whoa)”
“Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there?”
“Feeling so high but too far away to hold me”
“You know I'm the one who put you up there”
“Name in the sky”
“Does it ever get lonely?”
“Thinking you could live without me”
“Thinking you could live without me”
“Baby, I'm the one who put you up there”
“I don't know why (yeah, I don't know why)”

“Yes we nailed it!” I cheer. “Yeah we did. You are able to bring my lyrics to life and I love that so thank you.” He thanks me even though he doesn’t have to. “You are my brother I will do anything for you.” I tell him. “Oh and which one of these should I post?” I ask showing him my phone. “Oh that one definitely.” He laughs.

“True very true”

“Hey Babe, time to go get the kids.” Scarlett says entering the studio. “Ok Benny we can record ‘Happy (in the end’ when we get back.” I tell him. We use Scarlett’s Suburban since it has more room for the kids to get to the airport. “Fucking hell look.” I point out the paparazzi at the entrance. “I really hope this doesn’t send Sarah into a panic attack.” Scarlett says worried. “She’s got my mom with them. Remember they had the layover in K.C to get mom for  the celebratory dinner about Benny becoming my big brother legally. We start to walk to the airport and the paps start yelling questions and one makes me stop in my tracks. I know the answer but how dare they. “SCARLETT IS IT TRUE THAT YOU CHEATED ON SAM WITH COLIN JOST?” One yells and it is the same guy that I punched. “What did you just say?” I seeth. “Is it true that your daughter isn’t Sam’s?” He asks again. “WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GET THE IDEA THAT I WOULD EVER CHEAT ON MY WIFE?!” Scarlett yells, balling her fists. “Colin is claiming that Elizabeth is his.” Another one says. “Well he’s lying Elizabeth is mine Scarlett has never and never will cheat on me and I would never cheat on her!” I scream as Mom comes out with the kids. Thankfully Benny decided to come with us at the last minute and got Mom and the kids to the car without the paps seeing them. “Come on Scarlett Benny got the kids and Mom.” I tell her and she nods. “I’m calling Tina.” I growl.
“Hello.” She answers.
“Scarlett and I just went to pick up the kids from the airport and one of the paps said that Colin Jost is claiming that Elizabeth is his!” I yell into the phone.
“WHAT? I had no idea. I’ll get to work on it.” She says.
“You better or I might fly to New York and take care of it myself.” I threaten and hang up.
“Let’s go home.” I tell Scarlett as she fastens Wyatt’s car seat. “You know I never..” I cut her off. “I know. I just don’t understand why he would say that.” I grumble, getting in the driver’s seat. “I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I rejected his advances last time I was on SNL but I was already pregnant with Elizabeth when I went.” She thinks out loud. “Maybe. But know that I trust you and I know she’s mine.” I tell her. “I want to take him to court for slander.” She tells me. “I’ll be by your side the whole time.” I tell her. “Ok I will call our lawyer when we get home.” She says. “Ok. Benny, is it ok if we  ‘Happy (in the end)’ till tomorrow?” I ask. “Absolutely that’s fine.” He says before going back to his conversation with Sarah.

Scarlett’s POV
Where does Colin get the gall to say these things? How could he? Is it out of spite? Is it because I rejected him? Is it because of what happened in the dressing room? Should I tell Sam what happened in the dressing room? “Baby? What’s going on in that head of yours?” Sam asks as we are getting ready for bed we already talked to Bobby and he is getting the paperwork for a restraining order and the paperwork needed to sue Colin. “Promise you won’t get angry.” I say with a shaky breath. “Baby what is it?” She asks, concerned. “Remember how I told you that Colin made advances towards me?” I ask. “Yeah you said that he kept asking you out but you shut him down.” She says. “I lied to you.” I admit. “About what? Please tell me you weren’t lying when you said you didn’t cheat.” She pleads as tears form in her eyes. “No, I didn't lie about that. I lied about the type of advances he made.” I tell her my head hung low. “Scarlett did he? Uh um did he you know , did he?” Sam asks, choking up on her words as she wraps her arms around me. “No no no he kissed me and I kneed him in the balls then punched him in the face.” I tell her. “Why didn’t you tell me?” She asks. “Because I knew you would go after him and I don’t need you in jail, I need you here.” I tell her. “You are right, I will go after him.” She says. “Sam please don’t, I need you.” I tell her knowing she’s planning on going after him. “Fine I won’t go after him without your permission.” She says. “Thank you.” I say pulling her down for a kiss. “I love you Scarlett Ingrid.” She says resting her forehead against mine. “I love you Sam Lauren.” I reply. “Can we just cuddle for a little while?” I ask. “Anything you want Baby. You know I won’t say no to cuddles.” She says.
