baby honey

one

A/N: Okay so I know a lot of you will just skip past the authors note and that's fine but i just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING ME IN THE SEQUEL! I know a lot of people who first read sugar baby won't be bothered reading the sequel but for those of you that are here, I really hope you enjoy it. I love this story and these characters a lot and although I loved sugar baby, I just felt like things needed to change, hence the kind of dramatic ending! Not all of your questions will be answered straight away but I do hope it's satisfying for everyone involved. I'm terrified that people won't like it but this is the story that I want to tell, and if you don't like it then fair enough but I am really excited to begin this new storyline. I hope you guys are too. Anyway, enough of my blabbing, enjoy baby honey ! xx

P.S thank you so much to @SIGNOFTHETIMES for the cover art. Xx

"Come on Elena, let's get you out of this bed" Heather's quiet voice wakes me up as she shakes me gently in an attempt to wake me up. I shake my head and groan, she's pulled the curtains and the sunlight is now streaming into my eye. I squint my eyes to see Heather perched on the edge of my bed, dressed in her workout gear, her hair up in a tight bun on the top of her head.

"You've been in bed all week babes it's time to get up and do something, come with me to spin class! Get a bit of exercise, clear your head, get some happy vibes flowing through you!" She says in response to my groan.

"There is nothing that could make me want to go to a spin class, least of all being sad" I mumble against the pillow. I don't quite know what she's thinking. It's 6 am of course I don't want to leave my bed. I hear her sigh heavily behind me before she starts to brush her fingers through my hair.

"Why don't you just call him back? You obviously miss him" She states the obvious. I roll over onto my back and look up at her with a stern look on my face. "He's called you everyday since you broke up with him; he's probably just as confused as I was when you showed up on my doorstep with all of your stuff"

I'm thankful that Heather has a spare room, Brad is a very generous man despite all of his flaws. A two-bedroom apartment in the middle of town is totally up Heather's alley, and it's been a good place for me to crash while I'm in this interim stage in my life. The break up is still fresh, and I get that my mumbling when I first arrived a week ago must have been rather confusing and incoherent.

"I get that you don't understand, but I feel like deep down it was the right thing to do for me. Even though it hurts, fuck does it hurt" I sit up against the wall at the top of the bed and huddle my knees up to my chest. The burn of tears threatening to fall is one that has became way too familiar to me over these last few days. It's been hell honestly.

"But I'm leaving the house today. I'm going to a therapy session" I mumble quietly, resting my head on the top of my knee. Heather raises as eyebrow as she pulls her hair tie tighter around her hair.

"That's probably a really good idea. And I'm sorry if you feel like I'm all up in your business. But you know I love you dearly, you're my little sister and I'm always going to have your back" She reaches her hand over to tuck some loose hair behind my ear. I press my lips together in an attempt to stop myself from crying at the sweet gesture, just about anything sets me off these days.

"But because I love you I need to tell you what I think. And I don't like seeing you this upset, it breaks my heart. I'm really starting to get worried about you" There's a slight crack in her voice that makes my stomach tie itself up in knots.

"I'll be fine, this is my first relationship ending and it meant a lot to me so obviously I think it will take a bit of time before I'm back to my old self again" I begin to try and explain as I dust imaginary dust off of my forearm.
