Chapter 25: Just To Be Happy

"I'm a father"

Was he joking? I chuckled uneasily

"Exuse me? I think I misheard you"

"I have a 2 year old daughter, and-"

I stopped him, I could tell he was serious, but this was so much to process right now

"You have a daughter with Saura?" I asked so calmly, my own voice scared me

He grabbed my hand, but I pulled it back

I could see he was hurt

"It was at some party.....I was drunk and so was she, we had sex and after about like 2 months, she called me telling me she was pregnant with my baby"

Of course this would happen, he's a f*ck boy

"So did you know her before this party?"

He ran his hand through his hair like he always does when he's fustrated

"no-"

"Wow this is unbeleivable" I interrupted again

He stayed quiet but I wasnt done

"You let the mother of your child work as your maid?" I asked disgusted

"Its complicated Renae"

"No, tell me Liam, what is so complicated"

He sighed

"Look, after she figured she was pregnant, she wanted to marry me, but I didnt love her, I want to marry someone I love, She got mad, but we still stayed in touch, I went to a few gynocologist appointments with her, when my parents figured out, my mom told her to stay with us, but she was stubborn, and rented an apartmebt nearby, After the baby was born, she wouldnt let me take custody, cause as shocking as it might sound, I wanted that baby. She denied me, my money, and everything else I tried to do. The only thing she let me do was see my daughter occasionally. She said she needed a job. and since she couldn't finish her studies, to become what she wanted to be, she said she wanted to be my maid. Of course I thought that was outrageous, but, she was stubborn, the only reason I finally agreed was because she said she would bring Leah, my daughter, everytime she came to work. I dont if when you were working, there was a room Saura wouldnt let you enter? But thats a room where it is entirely decorated for Leah anytime she came, but that time, she was with her grandma"

I shook my head, pretending I understood, but this still was shocking to me

"Now......now, Saura is dead, Leah's mom is...dead." I choked out

Liam looked away

"Liam...she's only two, and now she doesnt have a...mom?"

Liam faced me, his faced red, eyes rimmed with tears

"You think I dont know that Renae? You think I dont f*cking know that?!" He yelled

I stayed quiet, scared

"You think Im not scared, I dont know how to take care of a kid, ecpecially one this young,......how do you think...Im going to tell her that mommy is not coming back....How?!"

He slammed on the wheel and rested his head on it

I started to cry, hard now

I cant imagime how that little girl must feel being told her-her mom is...dead

I covered my hands with my face sobbing

Liam pulled me into a hug

But I pushed him back.....hard

He looked shock, but why is he the shock one?

I dont even know him anymore, what else secrets was he even hiding from me?

"Let me ask you one damn question Liam.....If- If Saura hadn't passed, would you have ever told me about Leah"

He fumbled trying to find the right words

"Exactly....you wouldnt had, how much more things are you hiding from me Liam? How much?!" It was my turn to yell now

I didnt even give him a chance to talk

"You know what? Im done. Everytime, we have a fight about something, Im always crying, Were like an on and off, and youre not even my boyfriend yet and look at what is happening? Im sorry Liam but I cant"

I shook my head, it was true, I couldnt take it anymore, First Adam, then my mom, now him?

This stress will kill me!

"No. dont say that Renae please, you dont mean that?"

I stared at him, dead in the eye

"Im serious Liam, take me home...now"

He had tears spilling now, Id never think Id see him cry like this

I turned away from the sight it was to heartbreaking

"But-but you promised Renae, You promised!" He yelled, I was officially scared of him

I didnt know him anymore.If he could hide this big revelation from the media this whole time, he could hide worst stuff

"Take me home now, Im sorry, I just cant deal with all of this...just please take me home"

He took a deep breath, and started the engine, we didnt say a word the whole drive

All we could hear is the humm of the car as we drove by

We soon reached my apartment, and just as I was about to leave he grabbed my arm, turned me around, and kissed me

It was a kiss like he wasnt gonna see me in a long time

It was slow and meaningful, like he was trying to tell me something throught the kiss.

I kissed him back, knowing I wont be touching him in a loooong time, or at all

After we almost lost our breaths, we hugged

Hugged the soul out of one another, and though I was mad at him, I knew he needed the comfort

He soon left and I went inside my old, small bedroom

I threw myself on the bed, not caring if I ruined this perfect little dress

Today was jus too..much

I called Troye, and told him everything

And when I mean everything, I mean staying up until 2 am

He listened to everyting, Im so grateful for him.

He told me that to stay put, and tomorrow he and Lee would come pick me up and take me out, to be happy

And to be honest, that is all I needed,..to be happy
