Kingdom Of Cards chpt 4 N.S. story Bad Omens

Seen before

Noah's POV
I watched my son slowly approach me with such confusion and sadness in his eyes. He was so much taller than the last time I saw him. I slowly get down on my knees as he starts running to me.

"Dad?" I smiled as he wraps his arms around my shoulders in pure joy.
"Sebastian, buddy I missed you so much." I whispered as I cupped his head and held him against me tightly.
"Dad, Where'd you go? " he cries as we pulled away. "Sebastian, it's not his fault. I took you away from him." Eleanor says as tears were running down her face. "You took us away from dad?" She nods full of shame as I stand to my feet. "I thought I'd never see you guys again, so I moved on. It's the hardest thing I've ever done." I said as Sebastian hugs my waist. "Dad, please don't go." I look down at Sebastian and nod. "Buddy, I'm not gonna ever leave you." He nods in into my side as Eleanor looked up at me with sadness in her eyes. "I'm sorry " I don't say anything, I just pick Sebastian up and hug him tightly. "Are you in school, buddy? " I asked walking to the tour bus.

Eleanor's POV
I followed a few feet behind Noah as he carried Sebastian towards their tour bus. I'm so happy that Sebastian can see him again, but I've ruined so much that I don't think Noah will ever forgive me.

As we walked up to the bus door, I saw Folio and some pink haired guy now on the bus. They were the people beside Noah singing. "Folio, look! " Noah smiles as he sets Sebastian down on his feet. "No f*cking way!!!
SEBASTIAN COME GIVE ME A HUG!' he yelled as Sebastian runs into his arms. "Folio! " I saw him smiling so brightly as Folio hugged him tightly.
"Bro, can he sleep here tonight? I'll explain everything later ." Noah asked as Folio waves. "I'd adopted this kid, if course he can stay. You need to tell me what the f*ck is going on? " he laughs as Noah nods. "I will, thanks man." He then shuts the door and turns to me.

"We need to talk. " I nodded as he points to the hotel across the street.
"I don't know what to say to you right now. " he says as we walked through puddles of water. "Noah, I'm drowning. I can't get a place to live cause all the landlords doesn't think I can pay the bills and-
"I already told you I'd help, only because you're my family and I love my son. I don't trust you anymore Eleanor, you literally abandoned me and made it where I had to sell our house and move back with the boys. Do you understand that? You broke my heart Eleanor. I don't know if I can forgive you for that, I just can't do it. " I nod again as he holds the door open for me. "Thanks, Noah." He doesn't reply cause he was looking at a Brunette woman in front of us.
"Sally, get the room key." She rolls her eyes and furrows her thine eyebrows when she sees me beside Noah.
"Another girl?" She questioned as Noah rolls his eyes. "Remember your stupid comment yesterday? Guess who's back." I was so confused, how does this woman know about me?
"Oh. So you're back again? " she questions me now. "I'm sorry? " I'm so confused. "F*ck you, Sally. I told you this meant absolutely nothing, don't be too surprised." "Believe me, you've f*cked me enough!" She throws the key at him and storms outside.

She must've been Noah's f*ck buddy.

"You slept with her?" I asked as we approached an elevator. "Just a distraction, nothing more." I swallow harshly as we step inside the elevator.
"She's a f*cking b*tch though. Pretty eye candy that's it." I nod as he presses a button and the doors slowly close. "Did you have somone back home? " he turns to me in suspicion.
"One guy, we got pregnant but I had another miscarriage and he left. I lost hope in having another baby." He doesn't say anything else, so we just stand there in silence. He was processing everything slowly.

Eventually the doors open and we stepped out. As I step out first, I saw Noah looking at my heels. "Are you a stripper or something? " I almost choked on my saliva as he steps out beside me. "No, why would you think that? " he shrugs. "I've only seen strippers in those shoes."
"When did you see strippers? " I asked as he stops at his room. "They always invite me up." He slowly opens the door for me to enter first. "Did you go?" He shakes his head. "Not like that no. The first show I went home with someone and woke up to an empty bed... again. So when we hired Sally, the girl downstairs, We made a deal to be "Friends with benefits " and nothing more. We're just f*ck buddies I don't love her, or even like her she's just eye candy." I wasn't too surprised but I hated thinking of him with Sally.
"Oh" was all I said as he shuts the door.

We walked towards the bed to sit and talk. As I sat down, Noah removed his shirt and started to slide his pants off.
"What are you doing? " he furrows his brows. "Getting in bed, what are you doing? " I felt like an idiot. He's just getting comfortable for bed, not trying to f*ck. "Okay, I'm sorry " he was in black boxers now and I couldn't take my eyes off his beautiful body. "Eyes up here." I quickly bring my eyes back to his as he was shaking his head. "You ever think about touching me again your gonna earn it Sydney." I just nod as he climbs into bed behind me. "Eleanor, come here." I stand up right at the head of the bed. "What do you want to talk about? " he asked staring at the ceiling as I sit beside him. "I just need a place for Sebastian and me. We're homeless, Noah." He doesn't say anything. "Noah, please I need your help." "You just came to me for money?" I instantly reject. "No, Noah no! But we need help." God I hope he'll help me. "Why should I help you, Eleanor? Sebastian is my son so I want to help him, but you... I feel betrayed if I'm being honest." I can't say I blame him though. "What if I help you? With anything. " he just shrugs. "What could you possibly help me with, Eleanor? I don't need anything more." He was right, they had a bigger team now than ever.
"Please, Noah?" His eyes stare at me with an unreadable expression. "Just stay , don't leave. If you leave then leave Sebastian with me. I don't want to lose him again." I reached for his hand as he closes his eyes. "Noah? How could I prove it to you. I want to stay, how?" His fingers play with mine before he finds an answer. "Stay, that's it." I nod, "ok. Ok, I will."
"We'll see, let's start with staying the night."......
