Chapter 8-Says Your Husband

Chapter 8-Says Your Husband

I headed downstairs towards the kitchen the next morning, I was only in my sweatpants, I don't actually bother to wear a shirt while I'm sleeping. I walked into the kitchen rubbing the sleep out of my eyes to find Nanna facing the stove as she was cooking something that made my mouth water.

"Morning, Nanna" I said taking a seat on a stool.

"Good morning, sweetheart" she gave me a smile before placing a plate full of scrambled eggs and bacon infront of me.

"Where's Maddie?" I asked looking around in confusion.

"She didn't come down yet" she said sighing sadly.

I nodded slowly before starting to eat my breakfast, Nanna sat across from me eating her breakfast as well. Both of us looked up when we heard light footsteps walk into the kitchen. Maddie came walking into the kitchen wearing short pj shorts and a huge hoodie.

I felt something strange in my chest when I saw her puffy red eyes and bags under her eyes, that indicated that she didn't sleep well. I don't know what the hell that feeling is, I just know that it hurt and I wanted it to go away.

She sat down silently on a stool far from both me and Nanna. Nanna stood up and brought a plate full of food and placed it infront of Maddie. Maddie just sat there staring at her food without seeming to have an attempt to actually eat her breakfast.

I couldn't help but stare at her, she didn't even move her gaze or make a snide remark. Nanna finished eating , she stood up and put her plate in the sink.

"Maddie, you have to eat quickly so you could change or else you'll be late for school" Nanna said.

"I'm not going" Maddie mumbled.

"But, you have to"

"I said I'm not going" Maddie spat taking both of us by surprise.

"I'm sorry" she mumbled looking down at her untouched food.

"Well, I'm gonna go grocery shopping, I won't be late" Nanna said looking at Maddie sadly, she then mouthed to me 'take care of her' before she walked out of the kitchen.

"Look, Maddie, I'm really sorry that I didn't pick you up yesterday, I swear that-"

"It doesn't matter" she mumbled cutting me off.

I sighed in defeat, I had to go today to the studio to work on some new songs and I can't actually leave her here in such a state.

"Well, you may be not going to school, but you're coming with me" I said standing up from my seat.

She just shook her stubbornly, I sighed once again before walking towards her and picking her up, throwing her over my shoulder. She started pounding on my back with her small fists while demanding for me to put her down. I headed towards her room and sat her down on her bed.

"Now go take a shower and change, we're going to the studio" I said and she just folded her arms shaking her head stubbornly.

"C'mon, Mads, don't be stubborn" I said sighing walking towards her.

"I'm not stubborn" she said squinting her eyes at me.

"You're coming and that's final" I said sternly as I turned around walking towards the door.

"Says who?" I heard her spat, I stopped before opening the door and turned around facing her with a smirk on my face.

"Says your husband "and with that, I left her room so she could change.
