The Drug In Me Was You

Chapter 3

I opened my eyes and felt the sun rays hitting my face. When did I get in my bed? What was happening? Any recollections of last nights events are all coming up as a blur. But I know had to of drank because this migraine I had right now was beyond a hangovers power. I wasn't even on my side of the bed, what the fuck was happening?

I rolled over and saw Alan laying there, with a confused look on his face. Apparently he had no idea how or why he ended up here either.

"Uh good morning." He laughed, slightly nervous. He knew I was always on the fence about sleeping with him before, so he was probably scared of how I was going to react now.

"Hey there good looking." I joked sarcastically, even though Alan was rather good looking.

"Oh thank Jesus you're not pissed, I didn't know what was going to happen." He laughed in return at my content manner.

"I'm actually happy that it happened." I whispered.

His eyes widened and he looked over to me slowly. Probably letting the words register through his brain, I mean I know he didn't expect me to say that. Which I understand a hundred percent, especially because he knew how meaningful Austin and I's relationship meant to me. Key word meant. But now, maybe it was time to move on. Maybe with Alan I don't know what I want right now.

"Get your cute ass over here." He finally said pulling my naked body over to his.

"You think my ass is cute?" I chuckled.

"Yes ma'am. I love that thing, I'll tell you what man." He laughed, pulling his fingers through my hair, playing with it. Sending me into a very relaxed state.

I began to let my mind wonder. What would it be like if I dates Alan? Would he be serious? What about Fallon, what if we broke up? That was the hard thing about being a single mom, you had to really pick and choose your relationships. Fallon wants a dad but I tell her she just has to wait, because someday daddy will come home. And that's what I though, I always thought Austin would maybe grow up and grow out of the rock star phase and come back to me. But, he never called Facebook messaged, tweeted, nothing. He didn't even have Alan try to contact me. Anytime I would hear from Alan was when he was off tour and was home alone, it's like Austin made all of them stop talking to me. Why? That's a good fucking question because I have no clue myself.

"Phoen, we should probably get my stuff today." He spoke, rubbing his hand up and down my arm.

"Okay, when do you wanna go? I have yet to pick up Fallon." I said sitting up pulling an old t-shirt over my head.

"Um now would be good, plus I wanna meet me little best friend that I'm gonna be spending the next 6 months with." He chuckled standing up himself getting dressed.

"Haha, oh boy you two are going to be the death of me." I smiled at the thing and him and Fallon playing together, I knew Fallon would instantly attach to his hip. They probably would be best friends before I knew it.

We hopped in my car and drove to Alan's parents house. It felt so bizarre picking up his things from here, when I would always be here in this exact driveway picking his ass up for school. His mom coming out and having a good 10 minute conversation with me every morning. I laughed at the memory and let him go in and grab his things while I waited.

After he had everything into the trunk of my car I headed for my moms. Ready to see my little pumpkin head. I missed her already and she was only gone for a night. She was really the light of my life. I ran inside seeing her sitting on the floor with my mom playing Barbie's.

"Hi girls, what are we doing?" I said standing in the doorframe.

"Mommy!!" She screamed jumping up to me. She planted a big kiss on my mouth and giggled.

"Hi sweet pea, remember how I told you about uncle Alan well he's in town. And guess who he is staying with?" I smiled.

"Us!" She yelled in my face, causing my ears to ring slightly.

I kissed my mom bye and took Fallon out to the car where Alan was standing with a giant teddy bear, like those ones you get in valentines day. He hid behind it and Fallon creeped up to it, jumping behind it causing Alan to yell in fear, but I knew he was playing with her. She screamed and giggled as he swooped her up. God, did they look so adorable. I took a picture and uploaded it to Instagram.

We drove back to my apartment building and I told Alan to start taking up boxes while I got Fallon out of the car. She was fast asleep in the back seat and I didn't want to disturb her. I grabbed my purse and Alan was already coming back from taking up his last box. I grabbed Fallon and Alan immediately grabbed her from me, causing me to glare. He just smiled and she seemed to cling right to him.

We walked through the lobby and got into the elevator. Before the doors closed a tall man with tattoos and sunglasses stepped in.

"Dude!" Alan whisper yelled.

"Hey man, what's up?" He whispered pointing to Fallon, and I knew that voice anywhere. Austin. I kept quiet and kept my sunglasses on. Alan noticed my change in persona and bumped my arm.

"Who's kid?" Austin asked.

"My friend here, I'm staying with her in this apartment building just moving in today, yeah we go way back. Like what four, five years?" He asked smiling at me, and I knew the asshole was trying to out me.

"Oh that's awesome. I'm Austin by the way." He said reaching out his hand for me to shake, which I hesitantly took.

"Phoenix." I whispered, but it was audible. And he simply nodded.

"It's nice to meet you Phoenix, your daughter is beautiful." He smiled.

What did he mean it was nice to meet me?

Did is he forget about me entirely?

What. The. Actual. Fuck.
