Crossing Paths *ON HOLD*

Chapter 13: Meeting Talia

BRITTNEY POV

--------------

"I loved you." Taylor says. "Loved?" I ask. "I fell for another girl. Her name is Alara." He smiles. "Oh. Alright." I answer. Taylor walks into the water. "Why is my love life shit?" I ask. "It isn't. You're just.. uh... discovering your heart." Aaron stammers. I just nod. I lay my head on Aaron's shoulder. "I missed that." Aaron says. I smile.

"I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted
And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine
Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?
When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?" I start to sing

"Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?
'Cause I'm not fine at all
I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape" Aaron sings.

"cause I'm not fine at all.

The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone

I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone

And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around

It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on
It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?" Aaron and I sing.

"You two have really great voices." A lady says. I quickly reconize her. "TAMMY!" I yell. I quickly get up and hug her. "What are you doing here?" I ask. "Oh I'm taking my grand daughter out." She smiles. A little girl runs into my legs. "Gwama Tammy? Where you go?" She asks. I slowly pick her her and but her infront on my legs. "Gwama Tammy!" The little girl smiles. "Talila I told you not to run off to far." Tammy scolds. "Uhm, Tammy I can watch her! I'm pretty good with kids." I smile. "Oh, would you dear?" She smile. I nod. "Talia this is Brittney, she's gonna watch you until later, okay?" Tammy says. "Otay Gwama Tammy." She smiles

"Up! Up!" Talia says. Talila raises her arms up so I can pick her up. "Will you be my momma? My momma went on vacation to heaven with daddy." She says. "Honey, Doesn't grandma Tammy have you?" I ask. "Grandma Tammy sleeps alot. Sometimes I think she takes a vacation to heaven." She says. "Talia don't say that okay?" I ask. "Mhm!" She smiles. "Are you my new daddy?" Talia asks reffering to Aaron. "Maybe? Brittney am I her dad?" He asks. "No, she doesn't have parents anymore. She just lives with Tammy." I whisper. Aaron nods. "Water!" Talia says pointing to the ocean. "Do you wanna play in the water?" I ask.

"No! The mean jellys stung me!" Talia says making a pouty face., "How bout me and daddy can protect you from the jellys." I say. "Yay!" She smiles. I give Talia to Aaron and take my shorts off. "Momma what are dose?" Talia asks pointing to my cuts. "Uh, mommy was running and she fell onto glass." I lie. "Otay! Can we play in water now?" Talia asks. "Sure!" I smile. Me and Aaron take Talia to the water and put her down. "It's cold!" She smiles. I pick her up and sit down in the water. "How bout daddy can go play with his friends and me and you can try to jump over these big waves." I smile.

"Daddy will stay with mommy." Talia whines. Aaron sits next to me in the water. "Look a waves!" Talia says trying to jump over one. I laugh at Talia's perkyness. "Mama! my hair it in my eyes!" She says. "C'mere." I smile Talia walks back over to me and sits on my knees. I braid her hair into two braids. "There!" I smile. Talia smile and runs over to Aaron. "Daddy look, momma did my hawir!" She smiles. I scoot closer to Aaron. I look back over at the beach. Kian and some girls are making out. "Alirghty then." I say. I lay my head back on Aaron's shoulder.

He kisses my forehead. After a while everyone's heading home so me and Aaron decide on going to drop Talia off. "Momma, Im cold!" Talia whines. "Okay let mommy get you a shirt!" I smile. I dig into my bag and find a navy robe-towel that my baby cousin gave me. It way too small so I think it would fit Talia. I wrap it onto Talia and bull my shorts back on. I look at my phone and it's marking 6:45 pm. "I'm sweepy." Talia yawns. "Aaron can you carry her on your back?" I ask. Aaron picks her up on his back.

"Daddy can I be a airpwane?" She asks. "Yeah!" Aaron smiles. Aaron starts to run and make airplane noises. I take my phone out and record it. After I finish recording I pack everything else into my bag. "Let's go take you back to grandma Tamma." I smile. "Otay!" Talia smiles. We walk back to the apartment complex and Tammy isn't there. "Hmm." I mumble. I slowly look into her desks and see medical papers. "Tammy Amanda Holt. Born 1957 January 17. April 24, 2012 Tammy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Death estimation : June 18, 2014. Today is the 19th in June. I look for her home adress and find it. "6745 GreensLive RD." I say. "We need to go there now!" I say
