Life Changing

Chapter 42

Three weeks had passed since Sam broke up with Emily. She was completely devastated. She could understand if she did something wrong but she hadn't. She hadn't seen Penelope either. She'd moved out of Sam's and was staying a hotel in Nevada until she found a place to live. They were in Dallas. Emily was in her hotel room when her phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi Emily." Penelope said.

"Penelope?" "Where's your daddy?"

"Taking a nap."

"Does he know you're using his phone?"

"No."

"You shouldn't be using his phone without his permission."

"I know but he won't let me talk to you." "I miss you."

"I know." "I miss you to."

"I hate daddy." "I wanna come stay with you."

"Don't say you hate your daddy." "That's not nice."

"I do." "I hate him."

"No you don't." "I know you're upset because I don't live with you anymore." "You're daddy knows what's best for you."

"What's best for me is for you to move back in."

"I can't."

"It's not fair." "I have to go daddy's up." "I love you." She hung up.

The next night Emily was at the arena. She was walking down the hall. She turned the corner and came face to face with Sam.

"Hi." She said.

"Don't talk to me." He said annoyed.

"I didn't cheat on you."

"What was Travis doing in your room then?"

"I told you." "I'd never cheat on you."

"Just like you didn't cheat on Nic?" He walked away.

After the show Emily got on the elevator to go back to her room. Nic got on the elevator to.

"Hi Emily." He said.

"Hi Nic." "Sorry to hear about you and your girlfriend."

"Thanks." "Sorry about you and Sam."

"Thanks." "I didn't even do anything to get broken up with for." She said starting to cry a little. "I didn't do anything Nic, I swear I didn't." She sniffled.

"Come here." He hugged her. "It's ok." "Shh." As they pulled back from the hug he kissed her. She kissed him back.

The next morning Emily woke up in Nic's room. She got dressed and went out into the living room. Nic was standing there.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." "Listen, just so know I have no expectations." "I know last night was just two friends trying to comfort each other."

"I'm gonna go."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Two days later they were in West Virginia. Emily was driving back to her hotel from breakfast when her phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi." Travis said.

"What do you want?"

"Are you in West Virginia?"

"Yeah."

"So am I." "I'm doing a show." "Will you meet me at my hotel after your show tonight?"

"Fine."

Later that not Emily drove to Travis's hotel. It was five minutes away from hers. She knocked on his door. He answered.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi." She went inside. "Look Travis the only reason I came here was to tell you to leave me alone."

"I can't do that."

"You've already cost me my relationship with Sam." "What more do you want?"

"I want you."

"If you don't leave me alone I'm getting a restraining order." She went to leave. Travis put his hand on the door. "What are you doing?" "Let me go."

"I love you." "You can either love me willing or I can it from you." "You're not going anywhere."
