Drunk Love - A Rob Gronkowski Fanfiction.

Chapter 68

I laid in bed next to Melanie because I couldn't sleep. I looked at the time, 3am. I have a game tomorrow and there is nothing in my life right now that isn't going through my head keeping me up at this point. I have been married for a few months now and honestly, it feels...weird. Seeing Mel every day and doing the same things kinda sucks. I lowkey miss talking to Sydney and being around Lucas, but it's a life I chose to live when I didnt tell Mel about him and married her. We've been thinking about having a child ourselves, not anytime soon, but we are thinking about it. It just feels weird because I know she wants one, but I personally don't feel comfortable doing it because of Lucas. The last thing I need is for him to feel like I was trying to replace him.

After every thing that happened, with the fight at the hotel, life has not been the same. Sydney had the right to call the cops on me for basically fist fighting her, now, boyfriend. Noah really is a piece of shit guy but at least he's there for the kids unlike me. I've seen Tyler a handful of times at the games and he just looks at me and doesn't say anything. This kid is almost 6 years old and has the sass just like his mother.

As I was laying here, I began to check my phone. Just scrolling through twitter and all of a sudden, I came across this.

Sydney Kraft, Rob Gronkowskis ex girlfriend, walking with boyfriend, 27, down main street of Chestnut Hill. He was spotted with bruises and a black eye while at brunch early Saturday morning. Sources say the last few months with thus couple have been pretty rough. Does Sydney beat her boyfriend?

I huffed before texting Cara about the article. Surprisingly, she was awake.

Hey did you see the article about Sydney and Noah? What's going on?

That is none of your business Rob.

They have my child, of course it's my business.

Call me, I'm driving, I can't text right now.

I called her and she quickly answered.

"Hey, what's going on?"

She sighed. "Syd has been a little crazy since she got back from the hospital. Noah lets her take her anger out on him. I've witnessed it in person and it's pretty bad honestly. Like Sydney just is not okay anymore. She cries more than she should, she drinks everyday, sleeps all of the time. I'm honestly nervous for her because it's not like her. In high school she went through these episodes because of drugs messing up the balance in her brain or something but that would only be for a few days. It's been months and she is still like this. She gets counseling for it now and that's why Noah looks the way he does. He lets her punch him in the chest and then she cries and passes out in his arms and he begins to cry too because it's just such a scary thing. But his eye is bruised because of a bar fight from a few days ago."

The information was just too much.

"She was in the hospital? Why?"

She paused. "Um, after your wedding Noah found her unresponsive on the couch after she took a lot of drugs and drank way too much. It is still literally eating her alive but honestly the fights only happen when the kids aren't around. It mostly happens when one little thing she has no business worrying about pisses her off. She takes medicine for it and goes to AA meetings now and it's really sad to see her like this."

"I had no idea about any of this. I haven't talked to her in a while."

"Yeah. If it makes you feel better, Noah mainly takes care of Tyler and I take care of Lucas. He's always here because Jimmy and I are thinking about having a baby. I don't want to worry you, but ever since you fought Noah after the reception, Sydney has not been the same. She's just super depressed and she knows what she's doing too which makes me super sad because I don't know how to make her happy again."
