strings of my heart

life on the road

Evrin's point of view

It's been several weeks since I have been traveling with the guys and Riley enjoyed spending time with her dad along with slowly taking interest in his love for music, I watched as he held her in his arms while she sung into the microphone. It made me happy seeing them that way, she bonded with him quickly considering that he missed four years of her life but he spent everyday making up for being away for that long.

I was in the dressing room looking over the clothes when I heard him say my name.

Brantley: hey Evrin.

Evrin: it's good to see you, how is mom and dad?

Brantley: they're good.

Evrin: that's good...

Brantley: yeah. They send their love to you.

Evrin: you don't have to make up things for them, I know that they hate me...

Brantley: they don't hate you Evie, they just...

Evrin: had high hopes for me, I can't live up to their expectations for me. They turned their back on me after I gave birth to Riley.

Brantley: I know kiddo. I tried my damnedest to make them change their minds but they think you should continue staying away.

Evrin: they don't have to worry about me coming back around, I got the trespassing notice from a police officer in California that they made for me, I just don't understand why they're treating me this way. What did I do wrong?

Brantley: you didn't do anything wrong kiddo, they're the ones who are doing wrong. You don't deserve be treated the way they're treating you. I haven't been back to their house since the day they had you removed off their property.

Evrin: I'm sorry if they're treating you the same way.

Brantley: they actually call me just to check on you but I don't mention you to them since they're treating you badly, I just want things to go back to the way it was before. I know that I don't see you everyday but I am always here for you kiddo.

Evrin: I love you Brantley.

Brantley: I love you too Evie.

Evrin: do you want to see Riley?

Brantley: I would like that.

I walked with him to the stage and watched as she ran to him.

Riley: uncle Brantley!

Brantley: hey baby girl, are you having fun?

Riley: yeah, daddy let me sing with him.

Brantley: he did? That's great baby girl. Your mom didn't tell me you liked to sing.

Riley: I want to be like you and daddy when I grow up.

Brantley: uh oh, we have a future rockstar on ours hands.

Alec: we'll have to fight the boys off for sure now. How you doing man?

Brantley: doing good, how about yourself bro?

Alec: doing good.

I took a quick photo of Alec and Brantley spending time with Riley and posted it to my Instagram account and tagged them in it and captioned it "her favorite guys"

I couldn't have asked for a better life than this one, I had an amazing brother and boyfriend any female could have asked for.
