Falling For Boys In Blue

Chapter 33

Kaitlyns pov

The guys left about a half hour ago so now I was alone. The second the front door closed is when the sobs started. I hadn't been alone since I left him. I was just laying there, in Codys bed sobbing. After they left I went into his room. I just really missed him and wanted to be around his stuff. It all smelt like him. Not to mention how much I loved his bed.

I was crying into one of his sweatshirts when my phone rang. I looked at who it was, Ryan. Why was he calling me? I pulled myself together and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Kaitlyn! I know you aren't helping with any of the media stuff but I was wondering if you were going to show up today maybe? No pressure though."

"Oh, um yeah I was thinking of showing up later for the derby. You know to support um Cody and all." I bit my lip with the last part, I knew he'd ask why I would go to support Cody and not Christian.

"Why Cody and not Christian? I thought you guys were gonna go public and stuff?" My heart twinged and tears filled my eyes.

"Um yeah I was just gonna support my best friend you know. I haven't seen him in a while and I just miss him. I see Christian all the time," my voice cracked as I said his name. "Plus he asked me to wear his jersey tonight and I said yes so I should really sit with the Dodgers and not the Brewers."

"Kaitlyn."

"Yeah?"

"You don't have to bullshit with me."

"What? What do you mean,"

"I know." My heart stopped. "I saw the articles." I let out a sob.

"I don't know what happened Ryan."

"I know honey, now can you please come open the door so I can hug you, you need a dad hug right now."

"What?"

"I'm outside, I know you're here at Cody and Coreys, I'm not stupid. Come open the door."

I ran downstairs while he spoke. I flew open the door and there he stood, just like he said. He gave me one look and I lost it and clung myself to him as I sobbed. My sobs were so vicious I shook him.

"Hey hey hey shh shh shh it's okay I've got you now. You're okay, it's okay. Your dads here now I've got you."

He really was my dad. The second I started with the Brewers he made sure I got acclimated okay. We got along so well and I just opened up to him about everything and he just took me in. I broke away from him and wiped my eyes.

"What did I do wrong Ryan?"

He turned me around and walked me back into the house and closed the door.

"Absolutely nothing."

"But,"

"No Kaitlyn. Cody and Corey and Jacob and the rest of them have probably told you this and you won't listen. But you're gonna listen because it's me and I'm practically your dad. You did nothing. It's all on him for fucking it up. He's the one who walked away, not you. You did everything you could. He didn't. He's the idiot. He's the one who messed up. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. And I can guarantee you the second the rest of the guys find out they won't be happy either, and they'll do anything they can to help you. Whatever you need, you've got us."

I latched myself back into his arms and sobbed into his chest. He kissed the top of my head and rubbed my back.

"Jacob told you I was here didn't he."
