Regrets

* 3 years later - and Shawn is in the story :) - *

"Side, side" Art says , pointing outside

"You want to go outside?" I ask him and he nods.

Everything is pretty good. Arthur is 2,5 years old. Sky moved here in NYC after I gave birth. She couldn't go back to LA. She didn't want to leave me alone. Plus, she found what she always wanted in NYC. I bet Sky is having her best life here

Cole finished his studies. He didn't except the offer from the University of Michigan. He just said that he didn't want to leave New York. Anyways, he is working for a dental clinic.

Martin is constantly going to The Netherlands and getting back to New York. But like not that often. One in a couple of months or so. We are still good friends.

And if you are wondering, when I gave birth to Arthur, I rented a house on my own . Sky lives right next to me while Cole lives downtown with a girl he met at the dental clinic.

Let's get back to point now. I take Arthur , or Art as we call him , and decide to go for a walk to the park. I found a job as a songwriter. I was always good at writing lyrics. So now ,I'm making money out of it. But I'm not using my real name. Just my initiatives

The streets are super busy today. Well , it's NYC ,of course it will be busy. The park is a small walking distance from our house so it's convenient. Plus, it's peaceful here.

I let Art play with the other toddlers inside the park , practically there's a special space from toddlers to play.

I sit on a bench and look at Art. The more he grows up , the more he looks like Shawn

Oh yeah , Shawn. He is still living in Canada , from what I know . I think he is preparing his fourth studio album, SM4. He is still engaged to Chloe but they haven't gotten married or have kids.

I unlock my phone to see if I have any missed calls. And it's then when my heart skips a beat

"Violet?" A familiar voice says

I turn around to see Shawn. He is probably going for a running. But let's get back to the topic. I haven't seen Shawn for like 3 years. Oh my God

"Shawn. Hi" I say and he comes closer and we hug

"It has been a long time. I thought you were in LA. So what are you doing here?" He asks me

I'm here to keep our son a secret from you

"You know , working. You?" I ask him

"I'm performing at the Madison Square Garden in 3 days. Chloe is in Paris so I'm here with my team" Shawn says

"Wow , you are performing there again? That's super cool. You will do amazing" I tell him with a smile

"I hope we meet again. I mean, I have missed you. We can go and grab a cup of coffee if you want , now or later" Shawn suggests

"Yeah that would be cool " I say , looking at Art really quick and then at Shawn

"Do you want to go right now?" Shawn asks me

I really don't know what to say. I really want to go but I can't leave Arthur here

And Art comes running to me. He stands by me , looking at Shawn. He puts his hands up , waiting me to pick him and I do so

Shawn seems like he just lost his mind. He can clearly see how much Art looks like him. I'm dumped

I take my bag from the bench and start running home. Running with a bag and a toddler isn't that easy , but who cares?

I know that Shawn is running after me , trying to get some explains

Oh shit
