Our Love Life [ A Katy Perry and John Mayer Fanfic ]

Chapter 23

Katy's P.O.V

-phone call-

Me: no john? Wasn't she with you when we came!

John: yeah Katy you need to come back home

Me: *sighs* I'm coming

I hang up and hot tears roll down my cheek, I can't lose her. This can't happen every time it's like I have no one to trust anymore.

3 minutes into the drive I hear things move in the back seat, then I start hearing someone crying. "Mommy" the small voice says which makes me pull the car aside. I carry her from the back to the front on my lap

" Grace baby! You scared me!! How did you get in here and why are you in here?!" It gets silent for about 5 seconds and her eyes are just deeply looking into mine.

" I can't live without you. Mommy what happened? We used to be so close" she cries

I try to be strong for her and hold back all my tears. Instead of going back home I take a U turn and drive the same way back to my parents. Just as I was about to speak I look over to the passengers seat and Grace is fast asleep with tears down her face.

I check what time it is and it's already 1 am but I realize I've got 4 missed calls from John so I call him back, & he almost immediately answers.

John: Katy come back home now

Katy: She's with me John talk to me when I'm done with my tour I need a break

Before he tried to speak I just end the call and throw my phone to the back seat then continue with driving

Hours later

The road was quite crowded so it took us 3 hours and now I'm so worn out but Grace just slept through the whole ride which gave me some peace.

When we finally got to my parents I carry Grace on my shoulder while searching my bag looking for the spare keys that I have

Unsurprisingly the house was quite till I walked to the kitchen and found my mother making herself a cup of coffee.

" hey mom" I calmly say hoping not to scare her since she was facing the other way

"Jeez Katheryn" she says as she turns around with a gasp "Where's J- well I guess I shouldn't ask. You look tired go get some sleep & leave Grace down with me in the living room" she says as she takes Grace as I head up to my room that has never changed in the past years

With the clothes that I had on I just got into bed and closed my eyes willing to get some sleep

Grace's P.O.V

I twist and turn realizing that I'm not on my bed and whatever I'm sleeping on is really uncomfortable

I twitch my eyes open and don't really know where I am till someone starts rubbing my back  and it's only one person who plays with my hair this way, grandma.

"Good morning sunshine! Want some breakfast?" She asks still running my back

I shake my head " where's mommy?" I ask

" she's sleeping upstairs, would you have breakfast if you woke her up?" I nod I get up running knowing exactly where I'm going

Once I get to the wooden door just as I was about to knock I could hear some sniffs which makes me take a step backwards. What am I thinking I think to myself she's my mother what if she needs helps

I knock and hear the sniffing stop once I slowly open the door and there she was sitting up on the bed with her mascara smudged all over her face

"Mommy?"

" come here Grace" she says as she wipes her tears away thinking I wouldn't see them. I cuddle up next to her and she smiles then takes a deep breath. "Mommy promise you'll never leave me" I sigh " Grace you promise you'll never leave me and be a good girl for me" I'm completely confused with what she means

" what happened?" I ask but she breaks down into tears " I didn't mean to make you upset mommy!" I run out of the room "GRANDMAAAA" I run around looking for her when I finally get to her in the kitchen I realize she's with grandpa too

" what's all the rush for Grace?" Grandma asks " I made mommy mad and now she's crying!" I cry and the two run past me. I've never seen my mom hurt this much before her face and eyes were red and puffy

I slowly walk back up and the place is just silent

John's P.O.V

Hope Mayer & Faith Mayer

I sign the papers after the girls are taken away.
" are you sure about this?" The women asks me
" yes" I sigh " but is there any possibly way for them to just have their birth certificates with them just for when they're older, I'll be back" I say as tears start to form in my eyes

I leave the orphanage with my hand on my heart, it just feels wrong but so right at the same time. Katy and I will finally get to live our life the way it used to be with just one daughter which isn't bad at all and we could actually have time to do things instead of worrying! Just also glad that the media don't really know much about Hope and Faith just so they don't make it a big deal.

I get to my car and get in it then drive around not wanting to go back home cause it'll be so quiet and odd. After a while I stop by the Starbucks Katy and I would usually come to just before we had Grace

I got in and ordered myself a drink then say by the table thinking and realizing that I have to tell Katy. I first check what time it is then open my contacts to Katy and take a deep breath before typing

Katy honey, this might be something you wouldn't expect to hear right now but just hear me out till the end. Remember how our life used to be before? Before having the kids really that's all I wish for, for our life to go back to the way it was. I love you so much and I hope you know that I just want you to accomplish your dreams and fulfill your goals without anything coming your way so I put our girls in the orphanage. I had to Katy but they're in safe hands. I'm sorry, just come back home & trust me everything will be better.
