The Sun [Book 3] (Adam Levine FanFic)

Chapter 16

-Whiskey's P.O.V.-

"Mommy, are you ok?" Sydney asks me from the back seat. 

I wipe the tears on my cheek away,"Of course sweet heart. How are you doing?"

She suddenly becomes very sheepish,"I, uh, I heard you and dad yelling…"

"I'm sorry you had to hear that sweetie, your dad and I were just…" I pause not sure if I should sugar coat it, eh she's a big girl she can handle it,"We were just fighting a little bit."

She nods and shrugs,"Yea, I know. I heard that you and dad cheated on each other, but that you still love him, but he doesn't love you so you're going to leave so he can be happy."

Tears fall down my cheek and my voice cracks,"Wow, you are just one observant little girl aren't you. I'm sorry you had to hear all of that sweetie. I'm so so deeply sorry."

She shrugs,"It's ok, I met her once. In san fransisco, and they would kiss and think I wasn't looking. I kinda thought, that he was going to leave because that's also what happened to Suri and her parents."

"You are taking this very well," I say completely surprise. I keep forgetting she's almost nine and that she's a lot smarter than kids her own age, hell she already skipped two grades.

"So, you met the other girl, what's she like?" I ask Sydney. I know I shouldn't torture myself like this, but I have to know. What am I missing?

"She's blonde and she is skinny like you, and she goes to college. She acts a lot like you, but, she doesn't laugh like you, and she doesn't laugh at daddy's jokes. And I don't think she likes me."

"Oh. Ok, so well, now that the cats out of the bag, I'm going to Starbucks and I'll let you get anything you want and I'll see if your grandma is home."

"Ok," Sydney says and stares out the window.

My stomach start to churn inside me and I feel horrible for everything. I can't believe she overheard everything, and she's so calm to it. As I pull into the parking lot, I see a familiar truck leave the parking lot. Hmmm, oh well. I park and Sydney and I go inside Starbucks and get her a grande hot chocolate. When I open my wallet, there's a picture of Adam and me laughing in the grass, it was one of the photo shoot we did for a magazine. I smile at it, knowing that I still had good memories of us.

We sit down at a table in the corner and I start to call different people I know, to see if I could stay with them for a bit.

First I call Tina and Jesse but I forgot they're over in Asia for a week vacation. Then I contemplate calling Patsy, but she's already done so much for me, I don't want to feel like a burden. Then a number pops into my head and I immediately dial it.

"Hey," I whisper into the phone.

"Hi! How are you?" Robert asks me.

"I'm doing ok, actually I wanted to ask a huge favor of you," I say pausing to see his reply.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Can my daughter and I stay with you for a bit? I just got into a bad fight with Adam and well, I left."

"I'm sorry, but yea you can and stay however long you need to."

"Ok, thanks," I say, grateful.

I sit and watch Sydney drink her hot chocolate as she plays on my ipod.

It's really quiet in the shop and I'm able to hear the music playing.

~And they say I'm shy, yea

~But with you I just get so wild! Yeaha!

~I didn't want to pressure you, baby, no!

"That's the song, your father and I sang together on our first date," I tell Sydney. I can still remember how he smelt that night, and how electric the night was. We were so in love, I don't know what went wrong though.

Sydney looks up from my ipod,"Really? You still remember the song? Wow, you must've really loved him."

I nod,"I did, and I still do."

"Wow, well, maybe daddy is going to realize he loves you too, later, but until then, where are we going to go?"

"Do remember Robert, the guy who played Iron Man?" I ask her.

She nods,"Are we staying with him?"

"Yup."

"Yay!" She cheers. I'm glad she's ok with, but, I just wish, we weren't in this situation. I wish, I would still be able to go home to my fiancé.

Fuck, what am I going to tell people, oh our engagement is off again, thanks though, maybe next time I get engaged, I'll actually get married.

Ugh, I've been engaged three times and I still haven't gotten married. Maybe fourth times the charm. Or maybe I should just stay a single mom.  But I want to be a single mom with Adam...
