Happy As Can Be.

Chapter 11: Miss Jackson

Out the back door

Goddamn

But I love her anyway!

- Panic! At The Disco

ENJOY!

"I love him too" Bronx giggles coming over to me and playing with a thread from my jeans.

"Does daddy love you?" he asks.

I sit there for a moment before shrugging.

"I honestly don't know bud" I say

We hadn't even known each other for a month.

That's the bad thing.

I know I love him but he hasn't said anything which is fine but I mean I don't know.

I'm confused I guess.

He shrugs and walks off sitting in a spinning chair on his knees watching his dad in awe.

I smile starting to tear up.

The way Bronx looked at him was amazing and adorable.

---

After and hour of them recording Bronx had come over and fell asleep on my lap.

I closed my eyes for a moment to almost falling asleep if it weren't for Pete coming over and kissing my head.

He smiles taking Bronx.

I smile tiredly and Joe comes over helping me up and I smile at him gratefully before stretching and yawning.

"What time is it?" I ask no one in particular but Patrick answers.

"5" he says.

My eyes widen.

5 hours had passed.

It felt like one.

I must have fallen asleep but thought I just closed my eyes.

I nod.

"Come on baby we can bring Bronx to Ashlee and then we will go to your house and pack then to mine" he smiles grabbing my hand.

I wave at the guys and they smile and wave back.

Pete and I walk down the hall and into the elevator.

The doors close and we are going down in a comfortable silence.

I interlock our fingers and put my head on his shoulder.

"You tired?" he asks kissing my head.

I nod and shut my eyes for a moment.

"We don't have to go back to your house tonight we will just go to mine and then we will go in the morning." he suggests.

I nod and smile tiredly.

The elevator doors open as we reach the lobby.

I walk out with Pete and at the front desk I see a really pretty blonde.

She turns towards us and smiles coming over.

Pete smiles and hands a sleeping Bronx to her.

"Hey how are you?" he asks quietly.

"I'm really good. I heard about the engagement congrats." he says genuinely happy.

She nods in a thank you and turns to me smiling.

"I'm sorry who is this?"

"Oh this is my girlfriend Hero" Pete smiles.

I smile at her.

She smiles and nods putting her one free hand out for me to shake.

I gladly do.

"I'm Ashlee, Bronx's mom and Pete ex" she says.

OH YEAH!

ASHLEE SIMPSON!

Ok.

"Oh very nice to meet you" I smile.

"Likewise. well I better get going it was nice seeing you, and it was lovely meeting you' she smiles pulling her hand away and walking out.

I smile.

"She's nice" I comment as we walk out.

He simply nods.

"So.. I'm your girlfriend?"

"Well, I didn't know what else to say I mean I don't know what we are so I just said that" he says.

My heart drops.

Ouch.

So I'm just basically nothing really important to him?

I may be being dramatic but still.

I pull my hand away and cross my arms over my chest.

He looks at me confused but let's it go.

We reach his car and when he unlocks it I get in quickly and slam the door throwing my seatbelt on angrily.

"What's wrong?" he asks.

I shake my head.

We've been through a lot in 3 weeks I thought....

Thinking isn't knowing.

"Fine, Hero" he says irritated starting the car.

---

We arrive at his house which it way big and really nice.

Not a mansion.

Yet not an old lady old house on the Prairie type think.

It was way nice.

I get out of the car still mad and stomp up the door crossing my arms waiting for him to come unlock it.

When he does I storm in and instantly find the living room throwing my shoes off and throwing myself into the coucch.

"Okay Hero stop what's wrong?" Pete asks sitting on the coffee table in front of me.

I sit up and look him straight in the eye.

Stop it's too early!

My conscious warns.

I don't care.

"I love you"
