Becoming the most famous Rockstar-mom.

Chapter Seven- Forgive and forget.

When someone dies, a piece of everyone that loved them, dies too. They begin to mourn and feel like they deserved to die and not them. And, if they come back, it's hard to forgive and forget.

"How...What...you can't be....what the hell..." I began to stare at Maximus, in disbelief. I blurted out random words and asked millions questions that I might or might not get the answer too. Maximus sighed and sat down beside me on my bedside. "Look...do you want me to explain myself?" I crossed my arms in anger and growled. "Yeah. Explain yourself, Max." Maximus teared up and he frowned in deep pain, it seemed like he was in the most pain than everyone else was feeling. Even me. "I-I...remember the person that shot me? Well...they found out who it was and arrested them and then they escaped...when you went into labor they were following me in the car and we decided to force me to go into hiding and fake my death. So...we crashed the car and then ran for it. We put a fake dead body in the car and which it was a dummy...I don't know what they did with it  after that..but I know my agent took care of everything..."

I looked down and didn't speak. I suddenly heard Monica crying and I rose from my bed, picking her up out of her crib. I held her close as I began to rock her back to sleep by humming gently. Maximus saw her and his expression changed to a guilty one. "I felt horrible for abandoning you-" I smacked him across the face and he held his cheek. "I deserved that..." He whispered and I held a painful smile. "Damn right you do. I understand why you had to do it, but why didn't you just tell me instead of making me feel like you were dead for a whole year! I can keep secrets you idiot!" Maximus growled and laid Monica down, kissing me deeply. My whole body instantly shifted and I froze. Even though he's been gone, he was my husband. I kissed back and tears ran down my face. Everything that I ever wanted was right here and it's like a fairytale. It was supposed to be ripped out of my arms, but instead it came back and gave me even more than I bargained for.

Our lips parted after a couple minutes passed and he wrapped his arms around me. I held myself close to him and tightly. I heard a knock on my door and lily opened it. "Hey do you have Shampoo-" She stopped talking and saw Maximus. Her eyes began to fill with tears and Maximus sighed. "Sis.. I um..." Lily glared and slammed the door shut. I stared in a bit shock and bit my lip, with no regard of commenting to what just happened.

"She's pissed at me..." Maximus said, rubbing his neck again.

"Yeah probably because you were supposed to be dead and you never told her—" Maximus kissed my lips, as our fingers intwined.

We began to rest on the bed, cuddling one another as we began to fall right asleep. I blushed a bit and wrapped my arms around Maximus. This felt weird because I couldn't tell if it was a dream or not. Tears ran down my cheeks and I began to sniffle a bit hard into his chest.

"What's wrong, baby?" Maximus asked, cuddling me closer and tighter. I looked up into   his eyes and wipes my soaked cheeks off.
"I just..I don't know..this doesn't feel real..." I mumbled and he kissed both of my cheeks. "That's because I've been gone so long...but I'm here..I promise..and I'm never going anywhere.."
