Being the King of Pop's Daughter (sequel to Adopted by my Idol)

Chapter 29

Lucy's POV:
I tie Molly's lead to the stroller then I put Hartlyn in the stroller before I lock the car where we then make our way to meet Lauren.

"Hey girl" Lauren smiles standing up and hugging me

"Hey" I smile back then taking a seat.

"How's life?"

"It's good, we went to Disney as you already know, I made up with Amanda so it's all back to normal. And finally got Omer's job sorted. You?"

"I got engaged"

"Oh my god that's fantastic, how did he propose?"

"We went out for Chinese and I found the ring in my fortune cookie. It was so cute"

"That's adorable, congratulations"

"Thank you, you're my maid of honour too and Hartlyn is my flower girl"

"I'll have to check my diary" I chuckle

"You're coming to my wedding I don't care if you're busy" she laughs

"Of course I'll come" I smile then we catch up on the latest gossip.

"Oh my god"

"What?" Lauren asks turning to look behind her "who you looking at?"

"That Blonde girl" (pictured)

"What about her?"

"That's Courtney Southerner"

"As in care home Courtney Southerner?"

"Yeah"

"You was scared of her? Oh honey she's less scary than a fly. She looks like a bitch though. A* for the perfect bitch face"

I chuckle and take my hands from Hartlyn's ear knowing full well Lauren would swear. I stand up and make my way over to the coffee hut and I stand right next to her.

"Hi I'll take 2 coffees and 1 orange juice please" I smile to the women

She nods and walk off so I turn and look at Courtney who's already looking at me.

"Fancy seeing you here, I thought when I left I would never have to see anyone from that hell again"

"Yeah well you managed to leave"

"And you, I'm sure you're loving life in a big palace somewhere with rich parents. Why are you getting coffee here? I'm sure there's somewhere more posh on route to your next photo shoot"

"I'm not a model"

"You're not? Oh that's a shame, you was so sure you was going to be the world biggest most famous model. I was wondering why I haven't heard your name all over the news yet"

Wow I'm coming across as a bitch myself, but of course I won't admit that to her of all people. Thankfully the women returns so I pay her then add sugar and milk into the coffees.

"Lucy I'm sorry about everything I did to you. I really am. I made your life hell and it was horrible of me. I'm glad you managed to get out and make something of your life cause look at you now. You're married to a handsome fella and you got a beautiful daughter. You got the perfect family, you're known by everyone"

"Fame isn't everything. So what about you? What happened to you"

"I left the care home when I was 18 as I had to. I got adopted 4 times between you leaving and me leaving but I got returned. I'm living in Venice with my partner, I met him in Santa Monica when I was working on the pier. I currently work in Sears and due to get married next spring"

"Congratulations on the marriage, I'm sorry you never got to escape from there"

"No I deserved it, I didn't deserve a nice happy ending with everything I done"

"Everyone deserves a happy ending. You're out of there and you got your whole life ahead of you, you're getting married to the greatest person ever I bet."

"Yeah he's pretty awesome, for a fisherman"

I let out a chuckle "complete opposite of your famous movie director husband"

"Yeah" she laughs "can you ever forgive me?"

"Yeah, I always told myself I wouldn't because of the damaged and hurt you caused but now I'm facing you again. It's different. I'm older and I'm a mother, I can't be petty and hold a grudge because I managed to get out. In a way being in a care home we're all damaged due to the rejection of our real parents but we will all end up having a happy life afterwards, even if we was there until we had to leave or if we got taken out of there early."

"Yeah, I found out what your parents did to you. I truly am sorry about making fun of you when you had nightmares"

"It's ok, I managed to stop having them eventually. I sorta wish I didn't see you now, I wrote about you loads when I went through a I want to be a writer phase" I chuckle

"Let me guess, I was the villain" she laughs

"Yeah mostly, but my biography you was yourself"

"Well if they ever get turned into a movie, make sure I'm in the cast" she laughs

"Oh don't worry, I will. It was nice seeing you but I must get back"

"You too, hope it all keeps working out for you"

"You too" I smile and leave

"What's with the stupid face?" I ask Lauren whilst sitting down

"I'm disappointed, I was looking forward to witnessing a cat fight"

"I forgave her"

"You what! How can you be so stupid"

"She was in that hell until the end, she didn't get saved like I did. She's working in Sears, the opposite of a model. Her movie director husband is actually a fisherman. She's somewhat damaged from being in care just like I was. Is care home kids will always be damaged from it no matter how good our lives finally end up being. Courtney Southerner will always be a name I'll remember and Lucy Jackson will always be a name she'll remember"

"Obviously seeing as you're all over the media"

"You just had to kill it didn't you? That was a really good speech" I laugh

Home
"Daddy" Hartlyn yells running into the living room and jumping on Omer who was peacefully laying on the couch watching tv.

"Hey princess" he smiles hugging her "did you have fun seeing auntie Lauren?"

"Yeah, I got a new dolly so I'm going to show her to the other dolls"

I laugh as I she runs off going upstairs "hey" I smile as I curl on on the couch next to him

"Hey" he smiles and kisses me "how was Lauren?"

"Engaged"

"I know, Jordan earlier asking me to be best man"

"I'm maid of honour and Hartlyn is flower girl"

"Cute, so did you get any gossip?"

"Not much but you never guess who I saw today"

"Someone from school?"

"My first school yes, Courtney"

"Care Home Courtney?"

"Yes"

"Did she see you?"

"Yeah, she was there until the end. Her movie director husband to be is actually a fisherman. I forgave her though"

"You never said you would"

"I know but it was seeing her, I'm older now and hearing she was there until the end. She got returned 4 times, that must make you feel so unwanted. Her life is now finally good for her, I couldn't ruin it and deny her apology"

"I'm proud of you, that was a very grown up thing to do" he smiles and pulls me closer to him

I smile and kiss him letting it turn into a make out session.
