When Secrets are Told: Sequel to When Love Bites

Ch.1: Oh the Irony

•>•>•

So my name is Olivia James. I'm 10 years old and I live in Colorado. My whole life I've dreamed of becoming a writer. But my mama says I'd be better off as a doctor or a lawyer. Anyway I should at least be happy that mama got me this journal to be writing in. Enough of talking about boring stuff! Today is Saturday and there's no school! I'm excited for my friend Emily to come over. She's been my friend since the very beginning! My doorbell just rang- she's here, I gotta go!

Olivia shuts her journal and throws it back under her bed, hurrying to get to the door where her friend awaits.

She gets to the door and swings it open in excitement, "Hey Emily!"

"Livi!" Emily exclaims before giving her best friend a tight hug.

Olivia hugs back and pulls her friend inside, "Come on lets go, I've got so much fun stuff planned!"

>>Ten Years Ago>>

Cries echo throughout the apartment. Laura hits Ross with her pillow, her way of begging him to get up and soothe their crying daughter.

Ross groans and lazily gets up, stumbling into the nursery. He stubs his toe on the door frame and begins shouting out curse words, only encouraging the baby to cry harder.

"Shut up!" The young father shouts, irritated by pain and lack of sleep. He's had enough.

Grabbing the baby he takes a seat in the rocking chair and cradles her, silently begging her to sleep.

Olivia, only being a month old continues her crying fit.

"What could you possibly want kid?" Ross sighs, obviously stressed.

The door creaks and Laura comes in to see what the problem is.

"Ross? Is everything okay?" She asks quietly with a yawn.

He shakes his head, "Laur, I'm so fucking tired."

"I am too." She answers and rubs his shoulders.

Olivia's cries had disappeared and the house had once again became quiet, until Ross breaks the silence.

"I can't believe I'm saying this..but maybe Livi was a mistake." He sighs looking down at his petite daughter.

Laura says nothing at first and only continues to rub her boyfriends shoulders. A few moments pass by before she decides to say something, "Why do you say that?"

Ross lets out a deep sigh, "I love her Laur, I really do, but I haven't slept good for so long and I just feel like we aren't ready for this."

Tears are welling up in his girlfriends eyes as he says the painful truth.

"Ross...it's gonna get better. We've only had her a month, just think how great it's gonna be hear her call you dada?" Laura tries to persuade him that he's just having a rough night.

"I dunno Laur..we're only nineteen. And I'm not sure how much longer I can take this." Ross says looking down as his young, sleeping daughter. He kisses her forehead gently, "She is cute though."

Laura just nods, disappointed that her boyfriend was feeling overwhelmed with their daughter. But the worst part was, she was feeling the same way.

"W-what should we do then?" The brunette asks the blonde.

Ross looks up at her sadly, Laura knew what he was about to say, "Adoption?" He says, voice cracking.

Laura stares into his eyes before nodding slightly, "It's for the best." She then sniffles.

Standing up, Ross lays the sleepy baby back down in her crib. He then wraps his arms around his sad girlfriend. "It's going to be okay," he whispers, "She will make a family that can't have a baby so happy." He kisses her forehead.

Laura says nothing as a tear rolls down her cheek before mumbling, "I'm going back to bed."

The next day the young couple brings their infant to the adoption center. Laura had left a pool of tears in the building by the time they left. Not an hour later, they got a call stating that Olivia Rose Lynch had been adopted.

From then on, Ross and Laura were never the same. Being separated from their baby ended up separating them. They broke up two months later just before Ross left for tour.

>>Back to present time>>

"Olivia! Emily! It's time for dinner!" Olivia's mother calls and the two rambunctious girls hurry to the dinner table. Botha starving after their long day of playing dress up and hide and go seek.

Olivia turns to her best friend, "That was so much fun!"

Emily bounces in her chair, "Yeah it was!" She giggles.

Olivia's mother turns on the radio before walking outside.

All Night by R5 was playing.

"Oooh I love this song!" Olivia giggles as she sings along, chewing with her mouth open.

Emily nods and dances in her seat. Little does Olivia know the irony of the situation.
