Chapter three.

Ash's P.O.V.

I hate dropping my angel off to this daycare. Although as nice as it is, I just hate dropping off Peyton here. Shes all I have after her mom Rielly left me three years ago. Not only did she leave me, she left our beautiful baby girl Peyton. She left us for some guy that she had been seeing behind my back for years apparently. And who the hell knows where Rielly is now. Its been hard the past three years I have no one to talk to about Peytons mom. I mean sure I have friends but they wouldnt know what its like and I couldnt go see my parents since they had moved to England shortly after Peytons birth. I could call them but I didnt want them to have to sit and listen to me cry everyday. I felt so guilty for giving Peyton such a horrible excuse for a mother. It wasnt fair to Peyton she deserved a mother that would love her and do her hair and put her in dance and teach her about girly things. And I thought about it almost everyday. I tried to make up for the lack of a mother Peyton had by being the best dad I possibly could but some days I just didnt feel enough. Even though I did still feel guilty the past three years, I have had a pretty great distraction from being upset and mad at Rielly. Peyton can be a bit of a handful at times, but God do I love her. I would do anything and everything for that girl. I shook away my thoughts when I looked to the back seat and saw Peyton sleeping in her car seat. She looked so precious. Her eyes closed and her head resting on her small shoulder. Her pigtails were gently resting against rosy cheeks. Her tiny body slowly rising and falling with every breath she took. I didnt want to but I knew I had to wake her up even though she looked so peaceful.

I got out of the car and gently shut my door, not to wake her yet. I opened the back seat door and slowly removed the straps holding her into her car seat. I didnt want her to be cranky when she woke up so I pulled her into my arms and softly began to sing to her.

"Ive got sunshine on a cloudy day, when its cold outside Ive got the month of may. I guess you'd say what can make me feel this way, My girl, my girl, my girl." I sang to her slowly.

She moved in my arms and looked up at me smiling and said "Daddy your voice is soo pretty" and then gave out a small yawn. I just smiled at her. Everyday I find myself more in awe of her.

We were walking into the daycare when I saw something.

No, someone rather. A girl she looked young around my age walking out. She looked as if she was wiping away a fear tears. She was wow. She looked beautiful even if she had been crying. I bet she didnt even notice me but I wish she had. All I could do is hope that I would be able to see her again. Even talk to her. I havent really seen anyone since after Rielly left. I didnt really want or need to. But now that I saw whoever this girl is I wanted to feel what it was like to be loved by someone other than Peyton. Maybe it was crazy and I had no chance but I hope I did.
