Let Me Help You (Marianas Trench)

Chapter 2

*Amber's POV*

It was him. I swear to god, it was him. I wanted to slap him but, I couldn't. I would get fired and they would take Liam away from me. I pulled him out of the room into a private room.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked.

"What?" he asked.

"6 years ago did you meet a girl in a club in Calgary?" 

"Yeah, she was awesome. She was-" he looked at me. "She's you isn't she?"

I nodded. "So, what the hell are you doing here?" 

"I've lived here my whole life."

"What were you doing in Calgary?"

"I'm in a band. We were on tour." he told me.

I looked around. "I go on break in 10 minutes. I need to talk to you."

I turned around and left the room. I honestly can't believe I was going to talk to that pig. Especially, after his dick move. I had to tell him. There was no way around it. I went to the kitchen to hand in some orders. The chef that always felt bad about me never getting enough to eat handed me plate with a small piece of chicken and some salad on it. I thanked him.

10 minutes later I went to meet Josh at the front of the restaurant. He joined me and his friends teased him. We walked outside and started down the street.

"So what do you need to talk to me about?" he asked, trying to take my hand.

I swatted his hand away and pulled out my wallet. I took out a picture of Liam and I from when he was just born out of my wallet and handed it to him.

"This is my son." I told him, hoping he would catch on.

"Why are you showing me this?" he asked. I looked at him.

"He was born 9 months after we met."

"Oh my god. Is he… mine?" Josh asked, taking a step back.

"Yeah. That's what I needed to tell you. That's why I was so shocked to see you."

Josh looked at me for a second. "Can I meet him?"

"Why the fuck do you want to meet him?" I almost screamed.

"He's my son just as much as he is yours and don't you think he would want to meet his father."

"No. I refuse for you to meet him."

"Why can't I meet him?" Josh asked.

"Because…. Just because okay." he looked at hypnotizing blue orbs. "Fine. Come by this address tomorrow at noon." I said, handing him a piece of paper with my address on it.

"Okay. Bye." he said.

*Josh's POV*

I hardly remembered this girl and now she's telling me that I'm the father of a child that I didn't even know existed until today. I wanted to meet her son and she told me I wasn't even allowed to meet him. At least I convinced her to let me visit. I sat back down at that table.

"What was that all about Ramsay?" Matt asked.

"Why do you care?" I responded.

"Come on Josh the some what attractive waitress took you outside and now you look depressed." Ian told me.

"It's nothing." I told them.

"Josh, tell us." Maddie, Mike's girlfriend said putting her hand on mine.

"I'm going to tell you guys something and you have to promise not to tell anyone. Not even my parents or Sara."

"Promise." they all said.

I looked at them. The words were at the tip of my tongue but, I couldn't spit it out.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. "I have a son."

They all looked at me. They looked just as shocked as I was.

"Josh, who told you?" Matt asked.

"The waitress. I knew she looked familiar."

"What if you weren't the actual father. What if she just said that to get some money." Matt told me.

"I know I'm the father. I think I still have the picture." I pulled it out of my pocket and gave it to Matt.

"Come on Matt, don't think that she is lying because the kid does look like him." Lauren said looking over Matt's shoulder.

"Fine. What's her name and what's the kid's name?" Matt asked me.

"Her son's name is," I looked at the back of the picture, "Liam. And her name is Amber."

"Awe Liam. That's a really cute name." Emma said.

"Well if you ever meet Amber you can tell her." I told her.

Around the time that we left at Amber was leaving. I ran up to her to see if she needed any help.

"Hey." I said.

"Oh hi." she replied rolling her eyes.

"I uh just wanted to ask you what our son likes be-"

"Hold up there. Our son? You were never there for him." she told me.

"I know but I want the chance to be there for him." I told her.

"Fine. He likes Rescue Bots." she told me.

"Really? I sang the theme song for that."

"Really? Okay you know what? My friend Lily is leaving tomorrow for Calgary and she promised that she would let me sleep but, I know her she's going to leave early morning. So, I'm going to need someone to help me watch Liam. Would you like to be that someone?" she asked.

"Um, yeah of course." I said with a smile.

"Do you want to come over tonight?" she asked.

"Sure."

"Well, come on." she held out her hand and drove me to her house. There was one picture in her car. It was of her and Liam at his 5th birthday. Seeing that picture just made me think how much he meant to her and I didn't want to mess it up.
