chapter twenty two

(im meeting the boys tomorrow holy shit😳)

Madison

I am beyond nervous from the phone call my parents got last night. I don't want to be chucked in a room and asked questions about him. We just want to forget him, live our lives and be happy once again, especially Emilia, she has been through hell with him. And poor Lena isn't going to grow up with her father. It saddens me to know that - but as long as Emilia is happy bringing Lena up as a single mother then they should be alright. Unless Emilia meets someone along the way?

Today my parents are coming over to see us, to explain everything to Emilia. Also to see Brad and I because we haven't seen them for a while and I miss them, especially since I've moved away from home I don't see them as much.

Just as I brushed the last bit of my long, dark hair I took a quick glance in the mirror and smiled at my appearance. My makeup looks natural but cute, a nude eyeshadow and mascara with foundation and concealer set with powder and a light contour - also a subtle highlight on the tops of my cheek bones. My hair is getting longer and longer, it's now near the bottom of my back! Although I like long hair, I might get it cut, or just trimmed so it will be easier to handle. The clothes I have decided to wear today are just casual but comfortable clothes - a beige coloured jumper, not mine - Brad gave it to me - a pair of black jeans with a rip in the left knee and a rip on the top of my right thigh and since we're only staying in the house I decided to wear my pink fluffy socks.

Satisfied with how I look I run down the hallway and rush down the stairs with a huge grin on my face - I see Brad walking into the kitchen so I continue running towards him and jump on his back.

"Hi!" I say in an excited manner, a giggle leaving my lips before I connected them to his cheek. Brad stood still and laughed at my childishness. He eventually put me down and he unexpectedly kissed me, his soft lips on mine and his hands holding my waist.

Before the kiss could get more heated, we were interrupted by someone clearing their throat from behind me. We broke away from the kiss and looked towards the doorway, Emilia stood there with an eyebrow raised and Lena giggling in her arms.

A blush made its way to my cheeks as I laughed into Brad's chest, covering my face with my hands.

"They're here." Emilia said with a smile. I nod my head and turned back to Brad and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before going to greet my parents.

2 hours later

The clock struck 4pm, since my parents arrived we all sat in the living room and talked, had a laugh and acted like a proper family, which was nice. My dad told Emilia about the police and she is surprisingly fine with it, I guess she seen it coming.

Right now Brad and my dad are talking about goodness knows what, my mum, Emilia and I are sharing a bottle of wine together whilst Lena played with her toys on the floor.

"Oh Maddie! It's your birthday tomorrow!" My mum exclaimed with excitement causing Em and I to giggle.

"I can't believe how quick it has come." I sighed, looking down at the glass of wine in my hand. My ring sparkled making it look even more beautiful than it already is, I've had this ring since my 16th birthday but I never knew who gave it to me.
