*A Week Later*
Justin
I'm sat on my couch listening to my best friend, girlfriend, and manager lecture me about the Sadie thing.
Don't get me wrong. When I say I love Sadie I really do mean it. She's turned my life around so much but I just want her to be happy and I feel like I can't do that for her. She's had more struggles and drama in her life because of me. I don't want that for her.
"But J. Don't you think that if Sadie cared about the drama and the bullshit that she would have even wanted to be here? By you just giving up on her, is a huge punch in her face."
"Kate, what you're not understanding is that she seemed so much happier before I brought her into my life. She didn't have to worry about hate from people, media problems, this whole fucking mess.."
"Justin. Think about this. At the orphanage, she had nobody except some friends. She didn't have a parent figure to look after her, to cry with her, to protect her. She spent her time dancing in a small studio by herself. But look at her, she's been on live TV, performed with celebrities, gets asked for pictures and autographs. She's told you herself that she's happy"
I really listened to what Scooter and Kate were saying. Ryan didn't really have too much to say. Especially after the other night after the club. But after talking to Scooter and Kate I felt like such an asshole. I was willing to give up my little girl in order to make her happy, when in reality, I do make her happy.
"So we need to know what's gonna happen before we get that call for you to claim custody."
I sighed and looked up at everyone.
"Should I still surprise her?"
They all smiled at me and Kate kissed my lips. I already know how I'm gonna surprise Sadie but I could use a few opinions.

Sadie
I haven't called Justin and he hasn't called me. I'm just gonna assume that he wants nothing to do with me. I admit I've been crying for the past 5 days but Sean doesn't know that.
On the bright side, I surprisingly already got done with the song with Mr Harris. It's called I'm dappin. I'm like over the top excited because I was asked to perform at Playlist Live LA. I'm gonna sing I'm dappin and this is how we do.
The only sad part about it is that it's my first single and my da- Justin won't be there to see it even though he was basically the start of it all.
"Hey Sade. You have rehearsal at the Playlist Venue today. We gotta head out in 20 minutes"
"Alright I'll be out in 5"
We came back to LA last night because of playlist. I got off my bed and went into the bathroom. I showered and then threw on some comic book print joggers, a red cropped tank top and black combat boots. I left my hair down and straight then met Sean in the Uber.
-
"I'm dancin, I'm snappin, I'm dancin, I'm snappin, Just look at how it happened."
"Dancers! Take 10!"
The choreographer stopped us and we hopped off the stage.
"And Sadie there's um a package for you in the lobby. It doesn't say where it was sent from but.."
"Uh. Cool okay."
I walked into the playlist lobby occasionally saying hey to a few fans coming from their hotel rooms. I got into the lobby and the lady at the front desk pointed me to a medium sized box. I walked to it and sat I a chair in front of it.
