Unwanted // one direction fanfic

Chapter 19

It’s amazing how every day can feel like a year when your life runs out of love. I wasn’t okay, and the boys could tell. Almost every show and interview the boys talked for me, I just did my job and went to sleep, praying I wouldn’t wake up in the morning. I slept with random girls all of the time, smoked more, and cried less as I became numb to the disappoint that was my life. The only time I was happy was when I was high. Harry left for a few shows when Skylar went into labor and met my kid, I still haven’t. Still no one knew they were mine. Liam and Erica are dating now, and Niall’s with Skylar’s friend he met at the wedding. AKA I’m the only single one. 5 miserable years passed before I finally realized what I had to do. “I’m going to meet the kid.” I mumbled as I stared at the scrambled eggs on my plate.

“What’d you say? You were mumbling.” Harry looked at me from across the table.

“Nothing, I’m thinking about going to visit Ruby.” I shrugged. Ruby became my best friend after everything went down, she was the only one who would always tell me the entire truth and not baby me.

“Really?” Harry said softly. “Maybe you should fly her out here...”

“Why?” I asked.

“Because Skylar’s there.” Harry warned. “I don’t think you're over her yet.” he admitted.

“I don’t care about her anymore, I really don’t.” I breathed.

“Can I come with you? I’ve been meaning to visit them lately-”

“Fine.” I snapped. And that was that. We bought the first plane tickets we could get, of course that was difficult because we had to get one for Andrea too, forcing me to sit by myself. For once, I didn’t care that a fit girl was sitting next to me, my mind was just on Skylar and my kid. When the plane landed I literally ran to see Ruby. “Hey Ruby.” I smiled giving her a hug. “You don’t happen to know where Skylar lives now do you?”

“No I haven’t talked to her for years, or Kozac.” She shrugged. “I bet we can find it though.” She said pulling out her phone. She went to facebook and stalked around for a bit until she found a post Kozac had with a picture of the house, she found out the address and handed me a piece of paper. “Go meet your kid.” She smiled. With that I ran out the door and into my rental car, I almost speeded to the house. I was so excited that in little to no time  I was standing on her front porch.

What was I going to say?

What if the kid doesn’t like me?

What if she isn’t happy to see me?

But I came this far, I had to do it. So I watched my shaking hand reach out and knock on the door and waited. Soon the door opened and a tiny four year old girl stood in front of me. She had Skylar's eyes and my dark hair, I instantly felt tears fall from my eyes. I turned and ran to the car. I completely broke down, that was my little girl, and she didn’t even know that. I heard a tiny knock on the door, I saw the little girl hoping to try and look through the window. I open the door to and wiped the tears away from my eyes. “Are you okay Mister?” She looked up at me, I lightly laughed.

“I’m fine thanks.”

“You look like you need a hug.” She said in a matter of fact way. She climbed into the car and wrapped her tiny arms around my neck, making all of my problems suddenly disappear.

“You’re a great hugger.” I smiled, no more tears in my eyes.

“Thanks. Are you hungry? Mommy and I were baking cuppy cakes.” She said hopping out of the car holding my hand and leading me towards the house.
