Addicted To You (Sequel to Her Bad Boy)(COMPLETE)

Chapter 4

"Uh, sure. I'll be back." I say as I scribble water down on the pad and walk back to the kitchen.

Why is she here?

Why is my mom here?

I get the water and go back out there to see her talking on the phone. I slowly walk towards her since her face is facing me.

"Yeah, Holden. I'm here. I'm at the diner now. She's a waitress here. I know right? Yeah, I'll see you soon. You want water right? Oh, okay. Love you."

"Here's your water." I say pretending I didn't hear anything.

"Thank you. My friend will be here soon and he wants sweet tea." She smiles at me.

"Okay, can I take your order now or would you like to wait?" I'm freaking out.

"I'll wait, thank you. Can I get an order of cheese fries though?" I nod and write it on the pad. I walk to the kitchen and tell them the order.

I get the fries and tea and take it out. My mom looks up at me and smiles sadly. Across from her is a guy about mid 40s and has silverish grey hair . He looks over to me and from here I can see his piercing blue eyes. I smile, fake of course, and walk to them.

"Amber, I'm sorry. I know I hurt you. And I know I wasn't the best mother, but I tried. And I failed. I understand that. I was actually here to talk to you. Please sit down." I roll my eyes but sit down anyway.

"First, this is Holden and we've been dating for about a year now. We got together after you left. He proposed to me last week and I said yes. So I'm getting married again. I want you to be my Maid Of Honor."

"I'll have to think about it. But congratulations." I say, trying to be nice.

"Second, it's about Lee. He got out of jail." My eyes widen.

"Why?" I ask.

"Well, he was sentenced life for abusing me and breaking other laws and doing drugs and a bunch of other stuff. I know you went through my stuff and found out Adam wasn't real. Well he was, but I had an abortion and then got pregnant with you. We can talk about that later. But about Lee. He hadn't come out of his cell for morning inspection, so an officer went in there. They found him dead. They thought he was asleep, but he suffocated sometime during the night. He wont be bothering you." I let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay, but why did you lie to me about Adam?"

"I don't know to be honest. No, I know. I was drunk that night and I just said whatever came to my mind."

"Oh." was all I could say.

"I'm really sorry, Amber. I know I hurt you. Has Justin seen you yet?" My eyes widen again.

"What?"

"He's looking for you."

"I know." I told her, looking down.

"What do you mean?"

"I saw him." I said quickly.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Well, the first time was at-uh, a store." I lied, she'd be mad if she knew I went to a club.

"There was more than one time?" I nodded and continued.

"Then the second time he came over, and he asked if he could explain, and I let him. After I made him leave. I don't want to get my heart broke again." I said.

"Oh, honey. He loves you. Give him another chance."

"Fine... But only when I'm ready, okay? I'm not ready yet."
