Worth it.

Chapter thirty-one

We see Brandon outside.

"I'm so sorry" I say to Brandon.

"Don't be. This isn't your fault." He says sitting on the concrete floor.

"I just feel so shitty" I say. "I should've just not came. Everything would've been fine if I had never came into your guys lives"

I turn to look at Zion. He was listening closely to Nick who was explaining everything.

"I should've just jumped." I mumble.

I sit next to Brandon.

"I'm sorry Kc." He says looking out into the dark parking lot. "You don't deserve this"

"Yeah but I still go through it so... it's whatever" I say with a smile. I look at the ground and pause. "I don't know what to do, b"

"I can't imagine what you're going through" he says.

"Yeah. It's like when I was younger, all I wanted was to meet my mom, but now that I have... it's just... not what I wanted" I say playing with rocks.

"We should talk..." we hear someone say from behind us. We both turn at the sound of our mom's voice. "I know you guys are mad but can we at least just talk?"

Me and Brandon look at each other. He shakes his head.

"Ok" I say. Brandon makes a face.

"Ok?" He says.

"Cmon B." I say. He rolls his eyes.

"Alright talk." He says.

"When I got married with your father, Kc, I was in a very bad place in my life. I had just gotten laid off and your father was verbally and sometimes physically abusing me. It felt like a part of me was missing. I never left the house, hell, I would barely leave my bed. I told Kc's dad that I was depressed, but he told me I was crazy. A little later I found out I was pregnant with you, Kc. I decided to start seeking a job, getting out of the house more, anything I could do to better myself for you. Fast forward about a year later, Kc was about a month old when I went to what seemed my millionth interview. That's when I met him. Your father, Brandon. As soon as I saw him, I just- I knew, that I was meant to be with him. We started to have an affair. About five months into the affair, I had found I was pregnant with you, Brandon. Your father was so excited to have his own family. So we decided to leave... to start fresh. We moved to Texas and a few years later we had Haley"

"Did dad know?" Brandon asks.

"That I was married? Yes. That I had Kc? No"

"Did I ever cross your mind. Like while Brandon was growing up? Did you ever wonder how I was doing?" I ask.

"Of course! There's not a day in my life that I don't think about you. My biggest regret is not bringing you with me"

"Then why didn't you?" I say. "Why didn't you take me with you?"

"Well, I know this is no excuse, but your father was really attached to you. It felt kinda unfair for me to take the one thing he cared for. But I wanted to, Kc. I loved you. I still love you. I just need you to believe me when I say this. I'm sorry, I am so sorry for everything I have put you through"

I look at her tears falling down her cheeks. I hug her.

"You know this isn't easy for me" I say in the embrace.

"I know sweetie" she says.

"But I'm trying. And eventually, I will forgive you."

"And whenever you are ready, we welcome you into our family with open arms" Brandon says putting his arms around both of us. I smile as we release from the hug.

"Trust me. As soon as tour ends, we are sitting down and having a dinner, all together, as a family" she says looking at both of us.

Haley and Brandon's dad slowly approach us.

"Well I guess we gotta go" she says wiping her tears. We say goodbye and I meet back up with the boys.

"How you feelin, K?" Nick asks me.

"Not good but we getting there" I smile. "Where's Z? I really needa hug"

"He left back to the bus, said he needed to do something" Nick says.

I groan.

"Don't worry, I gotchu SIS" Brandon says hugging me. I chuckle slightly.

I haven't updated in a long time which I apologize, school is giving me a hard time :( but I'm really trying to keep this story as inch resting as possible. Thanks for always reading. I love you guys🥺❤️ (also I know that Haley is older than Brandon, I just needed to make her younger for the sake of the story)
