Daddy's Baby (Sequel to Daddy's Little Girl)

Chapter Seven

Chris has seemed very upset for the past three days but whenever I ask him what's wrong, he says its okay and don't worry about it. Yet he keeps giving me this look of sadness. I know something is wrong with him but why won't he tell me? Is it some big secret?

I walked downstairs to the den to find Chris sitting alone, softly crying. I creep into the den and crouch down in front of him.

"Daddy, what's wrong? Please tell me." I said.

"C-Cali? I'm so sorry." He whispered.

"For what?" What had happened in the last few days for him to be acting this way? I couldn't remember anything that would bring him down and cry like this. I had only seen him cry twice in my entire life but at both times, something really bad had happened so what happened this time?

"I can't do this. Just listen to me, no questions." He said, looks me straight in the eyes. He placed his hands on either side of my face.

"You have to leave, Cali. I found you a nice house for you to live in and......" He paused, trying to hold himself together. "W-we can't b....be together anymore." I froze at his words. What did he mean we can't be together?! Was he kidding! He had to be! My heart felt like it had been shattered.

"W-what?" I looked at him.

"I'm sorry." He pulled me into a hug. "You know I love you. And I always will. But we can't-"

"No. No, I won't leave you!" I started to cry. "Daddy, I love you, I can't leave you!"

"Cali, look at me." I stared straight into his eyes. "You need to leave."

"Why? Why do I have to leave? You....you said we'd always be together."

"I know, I know. But it's just not going to work out that way." I could see so much pain in his face. This wasn't like him. It's like he was being forced to do this.

"Who's making you do this?" I suddenly asked, causing his expression to falter. That was it. Someone was making him do this! I knew he would never do anything like this!

"Cali-"

"Tell me! I know you would never EVER do this to me! You would never hurt me like this!" I grabbed his collar and stared at his face that had complete confusion on it. He looked like he had no idea what I was talking about. No, he had to know! Cause if he didn't...that means all of this is real. And he's actually, well, breaking up with me. With this realization, I let him go and sat on the floor, my whole mind going blank. He said he'd never leave me. But here he is, doing that exact thing. Was everything he ever told me a lie?

"Cali?" Chris said. "Cali, look at me." He turned my head for me to look at him but I could only look past him. I never wanted to look into his eyes again. Those warm brown eyes that I loved. I suddenly got up and ran out the den. I felt like I hated him. I had told him that once before but I didn't mean it. I don't mean it this time because I love him just that much but a part of me was saying that I did mean it. Did I really?

Chris's POV

I just wanted to die right then and there. It took every ounce I had to make myself look like I was telling the truth. I so wanted to tell her but Robyn told me not to. Although, I wonder how would she know that I told her. Unless she bugged the place. Wait, she said for me to not tell her. But what if I told someone else and they told Cali? I shot up out my seat and ran upstairs.

"Calissa!" I yelled. She came waltzing out her room.

"What?" She said. I grabbed her arm and pulled her into my room, shutting the door.
