Time Flies (Book 4) [l. hemmings]

Chapter 7

I'm updating again hi

alright so there's some stuff in this chapter involving Melissa and some of what was going on I'm sorry if it bothers you I guess or whatever ok

-----------------------------------------------

Luke's P.O.V.

"Ella, we're gonna take you back home today!" I shout, not know where she could be in this house.

She's been here for a week, just to let Michael figure stuff out.

"Okay!" She yells back.

It takes her a while to get all of her stuff packed, so Vic goes to help her.

"Lukey, I'm ready!" Ella giggles, running downstairs.

"Alright, let's go see your dad."

-

"Daddy!" Ella yells, running straight into Michael's arms.

"Oh, baby girl. I missed you." He mumbles.

"I missed you too." Ella quietly replies.

"Go bring your stuff upstairs, I'll come see you after talking to Luke." Michael tells her.

Ella runs upstairs, and Michael looks back to me.

"I wasn't going to tell anybody this, but I need to talk about it." He whispers.

"What's going on?" I ask, following him over to the sofa.

He begins crying, "I-It's just, when Melissa died, we had barely been speaking to each other, because we were both upset. Sh-she had a miscarriage a few days before she died."

"Wh-what?"

"We were gonna tell you all about her pregnancy.. then it happened. I've lost two people so quickly, it isn't fair." He sobs.

"Oh my god, I-I'm so sorry." I whisper. "Michael, I really am so sorry for all of this."

"Please don't tell anybody, Luke." He quietly begs.

"I won't. I promise." I tell him.

"I still love her. I still love her and that baby a lot." He softly cries.

"I know you do, but Ella is still here." I weakly smile.

He nods, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.

"So you're gonna watch Ella, and take care of her, right?" I ask.

He nods again and takes a deep breath.

"If you tell anybody I cried like this again I swear." He lightly chuckles.

I roll my eyes, "I won't."

"I need to go see El." He mumbles.

"Go see your daughter. I actually have some talking to do with one of my daughters too.." I mutter.

Liv hasn't spoke to me since Zoe told me Liv's dating somebody.

"Liv still isn't talking to you?" He questions.

I shake my head.

He sighs, "Well you go see your daughter, I'll go see mine."

-

"Liv? Please, talk to me." I beg, knocking at her bedroom door.

"I don't want to talk." She mumbles.

"Liv, sweetheart, please."

Her door slightly opens and when I walk in she's laying in bed on her phone.
