No Letting Go [Completed]

Sixty-Nine

After leaving Colin, I go pick up the kids and we head back to the hotel. Colin has really lost his mind.

"Is daddy coming?" Riley asks.

"No. He's not."

"Why?"

I sigh and just give her the look and she drops her head. She gets off be bed and sits on the chair and turns on the tv. I look over and Nate's looking at me.

"Come here bubba." He crawls into my lap and I give him a kiss on the forehead. We stay like this until Riley says she's hungry which isn't till later. I order a pizza and after we eat, I get them both bathed and ready for bed.

I lay in between them and Nate's the first to drift off to sleep.

"Mommy?"

"Hmm."

"You and daddy are mad at each other....right?" I turn on my side, and face her.

"I'm gonna be honest with you, okay. Daddy and I aren't gonna be together anymore."

"Why?"

"That's big people business okay. But we still love you and bubba and that's all that matters okay." She nods her head.

"Are we gonna live here now?"

"No. We're just here till chocolate grandpa finds a new place for us." That's what she calls my dad, and Colin's parents are vanilla grandma or grandpa.

"Is chocolate-pa coming here?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Good, because I miss him."

"So do I. You should get some sleep. You have to go back to school tomorrow."

"Ughhhh." She groans. "Do I have to?"

"Yes you do....now go to bed." I say then give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight baby."

{Colin's POV}

I wake up on the couch, sun beaming through the blinds. I don't even remember how or when I even got here. I sit up and check my phone and it's dead.

I stumble a little as I make my way up the stairs to the bedroom. I hook my phone up to the charger and go the the restroom. In the middle of brushing my teeth, I get the urge to throw up and I do. I couldn't even make it to the toilet. After dry heaving for about 5 minutes, I give it another go at brushing my teeth.

I walk back in the bedroom to check my phone. I don't have any messages or anything. I go back downstairs only to look out the blinds and not see my car in the drive way. I go to the garage and it's not in there either; must still be parked at the bar.

After calling Eric, he takes me to the bar so I can pick up the car. On my way back home, I call Aaliyah. It took forever for her to answer, almost like she didn't want to.
