Can't Fight These Feelings...

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Darcy ran to her father as we said goodbye. 4 other boys stood behind them, smiling. I smiled too. Seeing my baby girl, with her dad. It was cute. I could see the pain in Harry's face, not wanting to let go. I walked towards them.

"I love you daddy." Darcy said in her sweet voice.

"I love you too, princess." he told her. Harry's stood up and flipped his hair.

"So Harry....." I began. Harry looked up with tears in his eyes.

"Why don't you call in tomorrow? I'm sure Darcy would love to hear from you." A smile formed across his face.

"Really? Are you serious? Umm okay!"Harry pulled me into that familiar hug like yesterday.

"Guys we better go!"Justin said behind us.

"So I guess we'll talk later. Bye Darcy." Harry gave Darcy one last hug.

"Bye daddy!" She said taking my hand. I waved to everyone and followed Justin to the car.

I strapped Darcy in as Justin put the luggages in the trunk. This was gonna be a long 4 hour drive.

********************************

Justin put Darcy in her room once we got home. I went to grab the mail that I didn't get for the past 2 days. Stress took over immediately.

Rubbing my temples, I stared at the bills in front of me. Justin sat down next to me on the small table.

"I knew I shouldn't have gone on the trip! I should've been applying for more jobs, or take on more shifts." I said getting out of my seat.

"No Lani. You needed it. Look. It's my fault. I'll pay them." Justin said behind me. I hated being poor. I felt like some charity case. A single mom, having more than one job that doesn't pay much due to not going to college.

"Justin, how many times do I have to tell you? I'm not taking any money from you. I refuse to! I don't want to always depend on you. You've done enough for us." I argued. Justin frowned, pulling me into a hug.

"I have a different idea then..." He whispered.

"What?" I asked. Justin didn't say anything for a minute.

"Let me sign you."

"No. No Justin. I won't do it." I broke the hug immediately.

"It'll work Lani. People will love you!" Justin urged.

"Justin don't do this to me. Just don't." I shook my head.

"We can take it slow. Please Lani? We can start with making a YouTube video. If people like it...wait let's rephrase that. WHEN people like it, then we can get to the studio and start recording." Justin suggested.

"NO!" I yelled in frustration. "Just...no." I said more calmly.

"Lani...remember that time after Darcy was born...that time you said you will do anything for her. Anything to make her life something your's wasn't?" Justin asked staring straight into my eyes. I turned my head, knowing he was right.

"Well this is that 'anything' you need to do. Trust me in this. Please?" Justin begged. What happened to not wanting to do anything with fame?

"Justin....."
