Laced Up Love Pt.2

Chapter 1

(Kellz' POV)

I sat on the bed, feeding my son. He is now 3 months old and growing before my eyes. He's starting to look more and more like me. Today was the first day in a month I have seen him. I've been on tour. I finally get a 2 1/2 month break to just focus on my family. But Lacy hasn't really been all that happy to see me. In fact, we've been fighting all day since she picked me up from the airport. I know she doesn't like the fact that I'm well-known, but I've dedicated myself to this life and it's too late to just turn away. I've become it. I love her and I love my son, and I wish she could see that. Reguardless of being well-known, I wish she and everybody else could see that I'm really just like everybody else.

Jaycob squirmed and began to cry. Lacy sighed. "Just give him here." She said. She took him out of my arms and began to feed him the rest of the bottle. "What is your problem, Lacy?" I asked. "Nothing don't worry about it." She replied. "No, just tell me." Lacy shook her head no. "I'd rather not talk about all of this with you right now, if that's alright with you." She began burping Jaycob. "Just tell me what to do to make you feel better." I persisted. "No, because you won't do it. You won't give up your precious fame to focus on me and our son and your daughter, so just let it go. Please, just let it go!" I sighed. "I'm here for my daughter for all the big things-" She cut me off. "WHO CARES ABOUT THE BIG THINGS, KELLS!? What about all those fucking small things?" Lacy yelled. Jaycob began crying. Lacy took a deep breath. "I'm never gonna like what you do, and you're never gonna like how I feel about what you do. So why are we still doing this?" I shook my head. "Why do you keep letting me come back when all your gonna do is let me go again?" I put on my shoes. "I'm walking to Slim's." I said.  She just nodded and continued to hold Jaycob. I slammed the front door on the way out.

I walked to Slim's and knocked on the door. He opened  it up, blunt in hand. "What up, dawg?" He greeted. "Nothing, gimme that." Slim nodded and handed me the blunt. I took a big, long puff and handed it back. I walked past Slim through the door. "What's got ya lil drawls in a bunch, dawg" Slim asked. "Lacy. We've been fighting all day over literally nothing and everything at the same time. She's still upset over the fact that I'm famous and I can't be everywhere at one fucking time." Slim nodded. "Didn't she, like, sign up for that shit when she got with you?" I nodded. "Exactly. I don't know why she's having this whole issue." Slim nodded. He went in the kitchen and came back with two bottles of alcohol. I took one and took a nice long swig.

(Lacy's POV)

"Hey, are you busy?" I said, putting Jaycob back in his bouncer. He squirmed in the seat until he got comfortable. "No, is everything alright?" Summer asked. "Not really." I said. "I'll be right over." Summer said. "Okay. Bye." I hung up the phone. I laid on the couch and turned on the TV, trying to ignore all the thoughts racing in my head. Jaycob was still in his bouncer, now sound asleep. I texted Kells. *I'm sorry.* Kells texted back. *Don't be. I'll be home later.* I threw my phone on the coffee table. Summer pulled up. She looked at me laying on the couch. "You and Kells, again?" She asked. "Yep." I answered. I sat up as she sat beside me. She sighed. "Lacy, I love you and I'm not trying to be mean, but why do you always push the good ones away? I mean, I've seen the way he looks at you. The way he smiles at you. The way he holds you like you're a delicate little flower. That man, Lacy, that man loves you with his whole heart." I just sat quietly for a moment. "How can someone love someone who can't even love themself?" I asked. "It takes a certain kind of heart, but apparently it does happen. I've seen it." I nodded. "I've just never in a million years thought a guy like that would fall in love with me....Especially not when I was so broken already. Why would anybody want to love a broken girl?"
