Everyone Has A Secret

Daddy's Little Girl

Sutton's POV 

I wrapped the sheet around myself and picked my phone up off the floor. My dad had texted me.

Will you or Adam come answer the door. I've been waiting for 10 minutes! 

My jaw dropped. How did my dad know I was here? "Sutton, what's wrong?" Adam asked. I suddenly felt a breeze and looked to the left. "Adam, we left the fucking window open!" I screamed. "So what?" Adam asked. "My dad has been waiting downstairs for 10 minutes for someone to answer the door! He could have heard us!" I screamed. "Oh shit!" Adam shouted as he shot out of bed. 

We pulled our clothes on in seconds and headed downstairs. I sat in the family room, while Adam opened the front door to let my dad in. "Hey daddy!" I said as I got up to hug him. "Hey Sutton," He said. I could sense in the tone of his voice that he was mad. 

"Daddy, are you ok?" I asked him. "Sweetheart, let's go home," My dad said. "Why?" I asked him. "Just go get in the car," He said. "I'm 18 years old! I can do what I want!" I screamed. "Sutton Annabelle Shelton, go get in the god damn car right now!" He shouted at me. I dragged myself out the door and sat in my dad's truck. 

Adam's POV 

"Adam, we're buds and I know you wouldn't lie to me. Is something going on between you and Sutton?" Blake asked. I couldn't tell him. He would flip. But if I lied to him and he found out, I think he would be even angrier. I made my choice and I hoped Sutton wouldn't hate me for it. 

"We're.... dating....." I said. "What?" Blake asked. "We're dating, Blake." I said. "You're joking right? My 18 year old daughter and you? Funny," He said as he chuckled. He soonafter saw the serious look on my face. He stopped laughing. "You and my 18 year old daughter!" He shouted before he punched me. Everything went black. 

Sutton's POV 

My dad climbed into the car 5 minutes later. He started the truck and we sped away. I looked over at him and saw blood on his knuckles. "Daddy, what did you do?" I asked him. "You are never allowed to see Adam. Ever Again." He said, keeping his eyes on the road. "What did he tell you!" I asked him. "That you are dating. You're not anymore." He said. "You can't stop me from doing anything!" I screamed at him. 

"You can't date a man that's 16 years older than you! Especially when he's Adam!" He shouted as he pulled into the driveway. I climbed out of the truck and slammed the door. I ran inside the house. "Baby, what's wrong?" My mom asked me. "I hate dad!" I screamed before I ran up to my room and slammed the door behind me. 

Miranda's POV 

"Blake?" I asked him as he walked in. "What happened?" I asked him as I saw his bloody knuckles. I ran to the kitchen to grab some ice. I handed him it and we sat at the kitchen table. "Blake, why does Sutton hate you?" I asked him.

"Because I yelled at her," He said. "Why? And what happened to your knuckles?" I asked. "I went over to Adam's house. I told Sutton to go to the car and she did. I asked Adam if there was something going on and he told me that they were dating." He said. "Oh my gosh," I said. "Then I punched him and left. I got in the car and told Sutton that she couldn't be with Adam. She freaked out and then we came back here," He said. 

"They're dating?" I asked him. "Not anymore," He said. "She's my little girl! How could Adam do this!" He shouted as he got up to grab a beer from the fridge. "I'm gonna go check on her," I said before I headed upstairs and knocked on Sutton's door.

Sutton's POV 

I heard a knock on my door. "Sutton, sweetie, can we please talk?" My mom said. Tears were already streaming down my face.  "What do you want!" I whimpered. "Sweetie, I just want to talk to you. I'm not going to yell at you," She said. I stood up and unlocked the door. I sat back on my bed and buried my face in my knees.

I felt my mom sit next to me and wrap her arms around me. "Sweetie, your daddy told me everything," She said. "Can you tell me why?" She asked. I looked up at her. I've always wanted to be like my mom. She was perfect. She was so pretty and sweet. She was an amazing singer and a wonderful person.

"I love him, momma," I said. "Sweetie, he's 34 and you're 18. You're 16 years apart." She said. "I don't care. I love him and he loves me." I said. "Sweetie, I love you, but it's not right. "He saved my life. Trent cheating on me isn't the big reason why I wanted to kill myself. Adam is the only person that I've ever told why I really wanted to kill myself." I said. 

"Why?" She asked. "I trust him. I yelled at my therapist today because she wanted me to tell her the reason why. I don't trust her. What if she gets paid by the press to give them the reason? Then my life is ruined." I said. "Can you tell me?" She asked. "Trent's ex was harassing me, a lot. And that's who he cheated on me with. The harassing has been happening since we started dating. It's been going for a long time," I said before I bursted into tears again.

"Baby, I'm so sorry. I would have been here for you if you had told me." She said. "It's ok, momma. I'm better now that I got rid of Trent," I said. "I love you baby," She said. "I love you too momma," I said. "Will you please go talk to your daddy?" She asked. "Only if he apologizes." I said. "Alright," She said as she grabbed my hand and we went downstairs.

"Blake," My mom said as she led me into the kitchen. "What?" He asked. "Tell him, baby," She said. "Dad, I love Adam. He has been there for me. He saved my life. I'm in love with him and no matter what you say, I'm going to stay with him. I don't care about our age difference. I love him and that's all that matters," I said. 

He just stared at the ground for a few moments and then he looked back at me. "Sutton, I love you. You're my little girl. I was just trying to look out for you." He said. "I know, but I'm a big girl. I found a man that I'm in love with. It creeps me out that it's the man you have a bromance with, but I can push past that," I said. He smiled at me and hugged me. 

"I'm sorry I punched him," He said. "You're going to have to apologize to him," I said. "I will, and I'm sorry to you too Sutton," He said. "It's ok, daddy. I love you," I said. "I love you too," He said. He looked at my mom and walked over to her. "After this whole fiasco, we have some news," He said. "What is it?" I asked.

"You're gonna be a big sister!" My mom exclaimed.
