My Little Secret C.H

CHAPTER SEVEN

*Nat's POV*

    After running home with Kaylee in my arms I couldn't help but feel a little bad. Mainly because mine and Kaylee's day together was ruined. But also because i'm starting to feel like I was kinda harsh on him. But he was my best friend.. And left me. So of course I acted like that.

Walking into our home made me feel so relieved. I set Kaylee on the floor and giggle as I watch her adjust herself in the huge sweatshirt I had to put on her. "You can take that off now baby." I say while helping her pull the big thing over her head.

"Mommy, who was that guy?" I was so scared she was going to have a lot of questions that I didn't know how to answer. "Mommy will answer that when you come drink some water for me ya?" I started walking into the kitchen but stop completely in my tracks after I hear my little girl ask, "Was he my daddy?"

I knew evenly she was going to ask about her father but she's only three. Never was I expecting it to be now! I've never even explained to her what a dad was because she would ask about hers. "Why are you asking about a daddy honey?"

"When me and Sam were playing house he said he wanted to be the daddy? Do I have a daddy?" As I heard what was coming out of my girls mouth I couldn't help but tear up. "Who's Sam baby?" I was doing the best I could to ignore her questions. "The boy at the park mama. Do I have a daddy?"

I knew she wasn't going to let this go so I had to tell her something. "Everyone has a daddy baby. Just mommy and daddy didn't work out and he left." I bite my lip trying to keep the tears from spilling out of my eyes.

"He didn't want me mommy?" After hearing that coming out of her mouth I couldn't help but feel kinda guilty for not ever telling Calum. But at the same time.. What could he have done? He was leaving. If he could leave the girl he "loved" with no problem her could leave her to. He never gave me the chance to tell him. He was long gone when I found out. After he left I never heard from him again. It's not 100% my fault right?

I walked over to her sitting on the floor to get down on her level. "Hey no baby. It's complicated ok. It has nothing to do with you. You might not have your daddy around but you have mommy, and aunt Katie. We love you so much! We've done very well without a daddy and we still can do well alright?" I pull her into my arms while kissing her head.

"How about we both go change into our comfy clothes and have movie night?" She looks up at me with her brown little eyes and lightly smiles. "Can we watch a Barbie movie?" I giggle, "Whatever you want baby! Come on! Lets go change!"

*Calum's POV*

    Me and Luke decided to meet at the coffee shop up the road to talk about what happened when he saw Nat. I decided to run up there to let off some steam and tension before talking to him. I change into my running shorts and shoes keeping my shirt I was wearing on.

As I run out the door I yell to my family that i'll be back later while putting my headphones on shuffle. As I start my run I couldn't help but think back to Me and Nat. I was a jerk around the end of our relationship and she just wanted to support me.

I never meant to just leave her. I was going to keep in contact with her but I thought it would be better for her if I just let her move on without the constant reminder of us. But that doesn't mean I stopped thinking about her when I left. She consumed my thoughts for months after. Even now everything I do or think about reminds me of her. She might not be there constancy but she's there a lot. 

The more I thought about the faster I got to my destination. As I walked up to the coffee shop I notice Luke, Sierra and Piggy sitting at an outside table. I make my way towards them. "Hey guys."

"Oh hi Calum." Sierra greeted me. I grab Luke's water bottle and take a sip while ignoring his request not to. "So you seen her huh?" I ask tossing his water back to him. "Ya and it was pretty eventful."

"Well how's she doing?" I lean down to pet piggy while hoping for a good answer. "That is something I can't tell you. She still has a LOT of anger towards all of us Cal. She went off. And she seemed still really hurt. And I don't blame her."

I sighed. "Ya Luke I don't blame her either." I glance around not sure what to say next. "Why don't you guys just apologize. Go see her." I look towards Sierra while really considering what she said. "No No No. She made it very clear she didn't want to see any of us." Luke stated.

"She might not want to but it's clear she's still hurt right? Then maybe hearing you guys say sorry will help her move on. I'm not saying try and get close to her again but hearing sorry from someone who hurt you can really help someone move on." We sit in silence as we all consider what he's saying.

"Ya know what. She's right. I'm gonna go see her." I announce standing up. Luke gave me his "this is not a good idea look."

"Luke I still care about her. She's amazing and deserves the world, I don't want her to think other wise or have all these fears about getting close to people because of us. I don't want her to hurt forever. And if there's anything I can do to stop that from happening then i'm gonna do it."

"Well there's one problem with this little plans of yours." Looking up at me. "And what's that?"

He gave me that stupid "really" like again. "You don't even know were she is!" I smirk to myself and start jogging away yelling, "You really think that when the paparazzi seen her leave the park that they didn't follow her? They follow everyone who breathes near us! I got my ways Hemming's!"
