Braddison- Why did it happen to us?

Chapter 4

Still Flashback

Bryce POV:

I went outside to answer my call from my mom. I wonder what she could need at a time like this.

L: Hey, Bryce, I haven't talked to you in a while. How are you?

B: Hey, mom, I'm actually not the best right now. Do you think I could call you back later?

L: Actually, I'm calling because I was hoping you could come home, Bryce. There have been many things that need to get fixed around the house, and I miss you.

B: Mom, I can't drop everything I have here in La mom. Plus, some important things just happened. I need to be here.

L: Look, Bryce, you have until the end of next week, but I will set your ticket for Friday night. So fix whatever you have to there and then come home.

She then hung up. How is it I have no say, so I thought to myself? How will adds feel for the fact that I won't be able to help here heal what we've both lost? As I walked back into the room, Jaden was confronting a sleeping Addison. I walked over to tell him, thank you. Addison and I had spent two days in the hospital until it was time for us to go home finally. I could tell Adds wasn't the same, and I was scared to bring up the fact that I had to go back to Maryland.

*Time Skip To Thursday:

I had gone to Addison's house, and I brought a gigantic teddy bear, roses, and all her favorite candies. Today would be the day. I told her that I was leaving, and it hadn't been a week since we lost our baby. We could make a little box, kind of like a funeral for the baby. When I knocked on the door, Sheri answered it and gave me a half-smile, saying, "She's upstairs." I knocked on the door to find Addison lying in bed, watching the lion key crying. It broke my heart to see how heart she has been the last couple of days, and I knew I was about to break her heart more.

B: Hey baby, I got you some of your favorite things.

A: Thank you, did you still want to do the box and stuff or no?

B: Ya we can

I knew that at some point, I would have to tell Addison I was leaving, but I couldn't. I didn't want to deal with her reaction. I didn't want her to hate me, but I knew it was time.

B: Hey Adds, I need to tell you something

A: What's up

B: I have to go back to Maryland tomorrow night...

A: But, you'll be back in like a week or two, right

B: I could tell she had tears in her eyes, no adds my mom needs me I'll be moving back

A: You can not be serious right now, Bryce. This is when I need you most. I need you to be here with me. You can't just leave now, not after everything we've been through

B: Looks Adds. My mom needs me. She wouldn't have booked me a flight if it wasn't important. I'm sorry, and you know I love you, but I have to leave tomorrow night

A: Then leave Bryce. It's obvious you never cared about the baby or me. Unless you were here, coping with me, we would be going through this healing process together. You know what? Just leave now and lose my number.

B: Look, Adds, I know you're mad, and you don't mean anything you just said, but I don't want to leave like this.

A: "Crying," then don't leave at all. I need you, Bryce

B: I'm sorry baby, I have to go

*Time Skip: 1 Month Later

Addison Pov:

It has been one month since Bryce has left, he tries to call, but honestly, I'm so mad. I wish he would've stayed for me. It has been so hard to go back to the way life was. And honestly Its been hard. I want to talk to him, but I don't have the energy to. I know I am selfish because Bryce is having just a hard time. I imagine it was his baby too.

End Of Flashback

Bryce POV:

I can't believe that conversation didn't go the way that I want. I never wanted her to leave mad. I just wanted to fix things between us. How could I be so stupid? I began to walk to the sway house, where I would be staying again, but I would have to make a youtube video explaining where I went the last year. But, I don't want to explain anything if things aren't right with Adds and me.

Addison Pov:

Looking through the box Bryce and I had made for the baby made me realize so much. But, as I continue to look, I saw a letter with a ring inside.

Dear Adds,

I hope you find this letter in due time. Understand that I never wanted to leave you, especially not while we are grieving the loss of our child. But, my mom needs me, and you know how I feel about my mom. If she needs me, I'm gonna be there because I'm always there. I love you so much, Adds. You are my whole world, and I never wanted things to end this way. I had hoped to marry you one day. The ring inside of this letter is a promise ring. I promise that one day I will come back to you, and we will work everything out. Seeing you in pain broke me down in ways that I can never explain. It hurts to think that as soon as we began to get excited about our baby, they were gone. I am so sorry that this happened to us, but we are some of the strongest people, and I know we will survive this. Just know I love you, Adds, forever and always.

Love Bryce.

I can't believe that Bryce actually wrote this. Why did he never tell me that this was in here? Why did I never look? Truth is I do miss him, and if he's back, I don't want to have any bad blood with him. I still love him, but I'm still hurting, and it seems like he doesn't even care. I quickly changed into Bryce's old merch and put on my merch sweats to go with. If I wanted to fix things, I would need to fix it now because, if not, I will think about what would have been. I then called Josh and asked if they were staying at the sway house and he had said yes. So I got into my car and began driving over there. Honestly, I don't even have a plan, but I need to talk to Bryce. As soon as I knocked on sways door, Blake had opened it. I went straight to Bryce's room and then knocked on the door.

B: Come in

A: Hey......

B: Hey Adds, wasn't expecting you to be here. What's up?

A: I found the letter. I told him with tears in my eyes. And the ring... Why didn't you tell me you left it

B: Because Adds, I knew you would find it when you needed to. I didn't want to make you feel like you needed to say anything.

A: Bryce, I'm sorry for not answering none of your calls. I am even more sorry for not calling you back. I was hurt. I needed you, and I get that your mom needed you, but I needed you more.

B: I get that Adds, and I should have fought harder. I should've made an effort to visit you.

A: Bryce, I still love you, and the reason I flipped out is because I thought you didn't care. You just went on with life.

B: Adds, I never went on with life. My life changed the day we lost the baby. I think about them all the time. When I got to Maryland, there were many days I cried myself to sleep. Just knowing how hurt you were with the baby and me. I couldn't live with the pain. But I love you. Adds I never stopped, and I don't think I will ever stop

They both stared into each other eyes and began to lean in. And then...........

Authors Note: Hey guys, I hope you guys are enjoying the story. Give me ideas on who I should add in next. Also, should I make them TikTok famous, or should I make just Bryce a famous youtube?
