Padgett's POV
I and Emerald were at the ice cream parlor when I saw Sutton, he is sitting all alone, he had already washed his bloody lips but the cut was visible and it's quite swollen too.
Emerald, please excuse me!
Why?
I really don't know why you want to go to him, Cameron might...
Hey stop it, Cameron is not my boyfriend, so I don't think that, he has any right to tell me who to give my body to.
Fine but you shouldn't stay long, remember I promised nanny Nancy to get you back home on time.
Yes boss! I said move to Sutton
Sutton! My low voice made him raised his eyes, he was surprised to see me coming to him, I walked close to him and handed him an ice bag, Sutton look was that of shock
"I'm sorry you got hurt because of me" I muttered
"You don't have to feel sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have done that" Sutton said, although I like the fact that he apologized and he is sorry for his actions but I felt bad that maybe because I am not beautiful that is the reason he is sorry but then again, I am happy, it's a mistake according to his words.
"It's okay, I know you are a nice person and you will not have done that on a norm, I will take it as a mistake and I will forgive you if you promise me you won't repeat it again" I said, this time Sutton look at me.
Maybe I should just tell you, my true feelings, I''m in love with you. Sutton said and I shook my head, I really don't want this to be true but what is wrong with me, one minute I am mad because he is apologizing about the kiss and the next, I am sad that he said he love me, oh Padgett, what is wrong with you? I scolded myself.
Please don't say it, I don't want you and Cameron fighting again, so please don't tell me that. I replied
You just rejected me outright. Sutton said, staring into my eyes
I see you as my family, my brother, you; Ray and Alex, as family, you all are like big brothers to me, even though you are all are just older than me with a year, I'm sorry I can't accept your love"
Are you saying this because Cameron and I fought?
No, I don't feel the same way, the true is, I am in love with someone. I said, as he bite his lip
I'm sorry if it hurt you but I can't lie.
Is Cameron right? I look at him. Yes, go on and answer me. I nodded for him, for the first time, I will admit my feeling for Cameron in front of someone confidently but with pain.
I know I shouldn't...
No, it's not your fault, people fall in love with their friends each day, so don't act like you committed a crime.
I don't think so, Cameron can't be in love with me and...
Never say never and you should not bother yourself over it, do you want me to...
No! I screamed, he look at me. Sorry, but I don't think I need help, I will try and forget all about him. I said then stand. Use this ice and it will be fine before tomorrow. I muttered and walked back to Emerald that is waiting for me
I arrived home a bit late after watching a movie with Emerald, now I am home but I can't find my tab.
Geez! Where did I drop it? I rampage my stuff, I am getting really frustrated when nanny Nancy tap on my door.
Hon! Are you there?
Yes nanny Nancy. Do you want anything?
Yes, the kid is outside he said he want to see you.
Who?
Sutton!
Shit! What is he doing here? I said then pull the door. Thanks nanny Nancy, I will just go to him..
Alright dear and come down from dinner soon.
Yes ma! I said heading to the door.
Cameron's POV.
I saw someone standing at our gate, When I drove in, I was just coming from Alex's, I needed to cold off, only for me to see the one person, I really don't want to see.
What are you doing here?" I asked as I came down from the car
I'm here to see Padgett not you. Sutton replied
Do you realize this is my house? And I remember telling you to stay away from Padgett and never show your face to me, right? I said and Sutton stared at me, I felt like punching the hell out of him again but I resist the urge to do that, Alex had told me to stop acting all mad.
Just let me see her, I want to give her this. he muttered and I scoffed and started going in, Sutton followed
Where are you going? Give that to me and used the door, and did you meet her up again after I warned you to stay away from her? I asked him but he didn't say a word, I dragged the phone off his hand. Get out. He scoffed then walked back to his car.
Stupid! I said pushing the door, Padgett come face to face with me.
Hey best friend..
Don't call me best friend, I have a name and my name is Padgett. She snapped at me, walking towards the door.
He left, I throw him out.
Cameron! Are you nut?
Nope! I told you, I don't want to see him anywhere around here.
Oh! Because I live in your house, you are going to decide who I mingle with and who I don't mingle with
I am only protecting you.
Shove it down your throat. She said rolling her eyes at me and dragging the tab
Cameron, you and Padgett should come down stairs for dinner.
I am not hungry, I won't want someone to tell me, I am eating too much.
Creamy! I screamed in frustration, she walked out on me and pushed the door closed as she get into the room.
Cameron...
I am not hungry as well, just trash the food.
Are you sure sir? Nanny Nancy asked
Yes! I will passed. I walked into my room and lay on my bed, after I freshing up, I was just coming out of the bathroom, when I heard my Telecom.
Shit! What does this people want? I sighed as I was told that, my parents are at the dinning. When did they fucking returned? I asked no one in particular, I fell back on the bed, after sometime, I dragged myself out of my room reluctantly, I wish I could just skip but my annoying dad will not let me.
As I walked into the living room, I found out that Padgett is there as well, I smiled as I see her there.
Come here son! We should eat? My mommy called out to me, I move to take the seat beside Padgett, we were not talking to each other but her present matter alot to me.
Daughter! How are you? My mommy asked Padgett.
I am fine ma! She replied accompany with a small smile.
Hey dear! You can start calling us mom and dad. I stared at my mom, I really don't know the reason she brought that up and I don't see the difference of telling her that because she called them that sometimes back then before she and her mom left while Padgett just nodded. Thank you dear, you really don't know how I wish to have a daughter, not that I am happy about what happened but the truth is, I am really excited that I will have you as my daughter, thanks hon! She said and kissed my dad.
It's nothing, if that will make you happy then I love it too and I too want to have a lovely daughter like her.
Mom! She call you that before, so while the reminder? I asked out of the blue, I really don't know the reason I just don't feel comfortable with this whole mom, daughter, father whatever
Oh son! What we saying is, I and your dad, we have decided that you need a sibling, since we are not always at home, you might be pretty lonely, so we have decided that, we are not just going to let Padgett live with us a total stranger but as family, we have decided to adopt her.
What? I screamed, Padgett turned and look at me.
