Chapter 22

                                    

                                          
I looked over to see Dallas 
Lighting a cigarette 
"Hey Dallas, no smoking"
I said taking the cigarette out of his hand
"Man Comon "
After hours on a plane with monkeys and kids we finally arrived 
But got a warm welcome to New York with flashes everywhere 
- "Brooke how's the baby?"
"Jaden when's your next album"
"What's up Dallas" 
"What's up my dudes I'm Dallas and I love New York City"
Dallas said to the camera pointing up at the sky
"ComonDallas"
Jaden pulled Dallas by his shirt causing Dallas almost tripping 
"It's not time for games"
Luckily we arrived to my sisters apartment who I've haven't seen in months 
Right before I've found out I was pregnant with Cooper
"Oh my goodness my babies"
London went in for a group hug
"Yeah yeah" Dallas jumped on her  couch turning on the tv
"Auntie London" 
"Omg your kids are getting adorable" 
She said hugging Ellie 
"Yeah big and smart" 
Jaden said sitting next to Dallas 
"I'm so glad you guys are back. I kinda want you guys to meet someone"
I raise my eyebrow 
And saw Nick Austin sitting in her dining room table and I started laughing 
While Jaden was aswell 
"What's funny?"
"Sorry why is Nick here?"
I said confused 
"Well that's why I want to you guys to meet him well I know Brooke you know him but for Dallas and Jaden to meet 
"I've known this kid since 2019" Jaden dabbed up Nick 
"Anyways I'm hungry"
Dallas complained 
"Let's go downtown we can get lunch"
My sister said
-
We found a spot that was quiet and had lunch there. Note it was uncomfortable 
"So.." Dallas said
"So what Dallas?"
"Nothing..I was thinking something then thought it wasn't important to ask"
"How long have you been fucking my sister Nick?"
I blurred out 
"Um.. we're not fucking we're dating" I could see how much uncomfortable Nick was "For how long?"
"9 months"
"9 months London? And you didn't tell me"
"Im sorry it's just you've been always focusing on your music and family while still having traumatizing flashbacks from your memories and I know how much you get protective of me when it gets to boys so I didn't want to put more pressure on you"
The table went silent
While Nick and Jaden gave eachother the look
"Listen I'm just overreacting but just tell me next time."
The rest of the afternoon was pretty much interesting knowing someone who I've been through traumatizing stuff is dating someone who I've lived with for a couple of months  
- later that night 
Sitting out the balcony viewing the New York City lit up during the night time was the best and relaxing. Knowing this is my city and my culture 
"Hey beautiful"
Jaden said warping his arms around my waist 
"Hey pretty boy"
I said 
We we're both admiring the city lit up 
"Tayler callled me and said he wants more time with Ellie he feels distant from her."
"I know he always does this but I've always ignore it"
"But why" Jaden said moving his arms to my back 
"I don't know. I'm just sacred what things are going to happen while I'm not there with her and he's in charge "
"Baby listen. If you want your child to have a better dad relationship than yours why move away from the opportunity's your daughters has with her dad that you know wouldn't harm her"
I thought for a minute knowing he was right.
Why ignore the opportunity's my daughter has that I want her to have
