Innocence

20. "Grow up."

(Justin Bieber)

I yawned and stretched my arms out. I turned around and wrapped my arms around Gracie. It was almost as if it was a natural instinct. Flashbacks of last night raced through my mind and I smirked proudly.

(Flashback)

"Justin!"

I finished putting on my shirt and ran downstairs, anxious to go to McDonalds and get another Yoshi.

I stopped when I saw mommy frowning at me.

"When are we going to Mcdonalds, mommy?" I questioned.

"Uh, honey. I don't think we can go today. How about next week?" she asked and tears clouded my vision.

"O-ok." I whispered and nodded so I wouldn't upset mommy.

It was probably something way more important than me and my McDonalds.

There was a knock on the door. I turned around, hoping it was Gracie. She went back home to get her phone. She forgot it.

"Hey baby." an unfamiliar voice was heard.

The door opened fully and a man appeared.

Baby? Mommy's not a baby, she's a grown up.

He leaned in and kissed mommy..My eyes widened.

"Hey! Only daddy can do that!" I yelled.

The guy looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"I thought you said that you didn't have children!" he questioned.

"I don't."she spoke through gritted teeth.

"Of course you do, mommy! I'm your baby boy, aren't I?" I giggled.

"I-I gotta go." the guy stammered walking out of the house.

"No, wait!" Mommy turned around and glared at me. "Dammit, Justin! You always ruin everything! Fucking grow up!"

I sniffled as the words spew out of her mouth.

"I-I'm sorry, mommy." I cried before running to my room.

I sat on the floor and put my knees up to my chest.

Fucking grow up!

I choked on a sob as mommy's voice rung through my ears.

The door sprung open and Gracie ran in.

"Baby, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" she rushed out.

"I-I, mommy cursed at me and told m-me to grow up! I'm trying, Gracie! I really am!" my voice came out strained as I spoke the last two sentences.

She rubbed my back.

"Oh Justin! It's ok, it's not your fault that you were in a coma." she soothed.

"Yeah it is. I should've woken up earlier." I frowned and she shook her head.

"Don't think like that." she scolded.

I nodded, wiping the tears away with the back of my wrists.

"Can you sleep with me?" I questioned hoping she would say yes.

She nodded and I smiled. We stood up and moved to the bed. We took off our shoes. She laid down and I followed, draping my left arm around her waist.

(Present time)

"Did it work?" mommy came in, whispering.

I grinned, looking at the pretty sleeping girl next to me. "Yep."
