Finding Out

2-

Emery's POV-

Me and my best friend Addison are currently walking around the mall,we came her to get this book signed.Don't ask me why I agreed to come here.

She said that it is her favourite Author.

I don't even read books!
I read my texts if that counts?

Apparently this Author had cancer when he was in his early twenties?

Idk

Hardin's POV-

It has been 15 years since I last saw Tess and Emery.To day it has been hard would be an the understatement of the century.

I searched for years to see them again but in the end I gave up I knew that Tessa did not want to be found and I had to accept that.

I battled through my cancer alone.

I got it sorted out before anything drastic really happened .

I am proud to say that I survived cancer.
The only thing that made it hard was that I need the support of my loved ones.Tessa was the only one that could help me.Her and Em were my cure they were my medication.

I arrived in New York a few days ago.I am here for the signing of my new book.It is called 'The Struggles Of Life'

It is about all the challenges pi have to face in life all the problems that you can over come.Love and Betrayal.

I want to say it was sort of like mine and Tessa's story but I know that it would be wrong broadcasting our journey like that around the world.

Me and Tessa aren't even together anymore and yet all I think about is her.

I have not even slept with anyone since the departure between me and her.I have lost contact with my daughter.My flesh and blood I have not seen in over 15 years.

The pain that has caused me in unbearable to say the least.

==========

I am sitting at the desk right now ,I would say at least 100 middle aged women have been flirting with me whenever they come and see my to sign there books.

A few teenagers have come up here and there.Seeing all these teenagers makes me wonder what Emery would look like now.When I last saw her she had Tess's hair and my eyes.

Snapping out of my thoughts I see 2 girls walk towards me.One has brown hair and the other has blonde hair and.....green eyes.

She looks familiar but I can tell she has an attitude on her.The look on her face gives it away.

"Hello"I say to the girls.The brown haired one replies with Hi and the blonde girl just rolls her eyes.

"You a big fan?"I ask the green eyed girl.She stares at me for a second before replying.

"I don't read,it is a waste of time."She says,I am taken back by her harsh words.

Reading is an escape from reality!!!

"Emery just be nice for once in your life!"

Emery?

Her name is Emery!

That's her

That's my daughter,My flesh and blood.

"Look I'm gonna go wait for our dad to pick me us up,you stay here,I have better things to do"She walks off and goes to wait outside by the entrance of the mall.

She has a dad?

Tessa moved on?

"Daddy!"She says,I look in the direction of where I saw Emery walk off and she has her arms wrapped around some guys neck.For some reason he looks familiar.

He goes to place a kiss on her forehead.

That should be me!

Without any hesitation I leave my seat at the desk and run over to where MY daughter is and push this so called  'daddy' off her.

"Keep your hands off her!"I growl at him but he seems unfazed.

"He is my dad,he was just hugging me!"Emery says.

That's it!

"He is not your dad Emery!"She looks back at me.

"I know he is not my dad,I don't get how you know though,I literally have never seen you before!"She shouts.

She does not remember me?

"I know because I am your Dad!"
