Heart In Chains

Sadie Stone ran away from her abusive husband, taking her children along, hoping for a fresh start . When she arrives to Nashville she receives help from one of the most unlikely person in the world. Country superstar Luke Wheeler, what happened after that she couldn't believe. AU. Sadie/Luke.

Luke and Sadie goodness, why do I do this to myself?

Don't own anything! Thanks so much for the support you guys! So a side note, as you probably know I like to alternate characters into stories so if you have read my other story 'Collide' then you know Deacon and Rayna have a 2 year old son named Robbie and Rayna and Luke never got as far as bring engaged because circumstances with the two of them were different, I already cleared that up in case you haven't read it... anyhow... let's get on with it then... Happy reading!

Chapter 2: Do you mind?

Sadie's friend Janie was a single mother who had made something of herself in Nashville when she had been forced to move in with her aunt years ago. She was older but she always made sure to take care of Sadie as much as she could growing up but as soon as she left Virginia, Sadie's life came tumbling down.

Now she was back with Janie who had offered for her and the kids to stay with her while she figured things out. "Girl, you are here! What took you so long?"

"Oh well you know... we ran into a bit of a hiccup..." Sadie told her friend.

"I do hope everything is okay." Janie said worriedly. Her first thought was of Pete.

"No of course it ain't nothing like that..." She told her. "Just Sawyer making some new friends you know that kid."

"Aunt Janie!" Sawyer's bright blew eyes light up.

"Look at you now, you are almost as tall as me..." Katie held Rory as she too hugged the older woman. "Bet you´re all hungry, huh?"

"Starving!"

"Could eat a horse..."

"Well best not sweetie, but tell you what? Once we've settled down you can ride one." Katie smiled. "By the way, you'll be sharin' in with Molly, Sawyer with Brayden and your mama will have her own room for her and the baby, how's that sound?"

"What?"Sadie said. "No, I'm sure we can all fit in one room."

"Nonsense honey, this is my home and there's enough space for all of you..."

"So now Sawyer, would you tell me about your new friends your mama said you made?"

"Luke Wheeler." Sawyer smirked. "He's got like this big bus, bigger than our house, not bigger than this one but..."

"Oh, Luke is back in Nashville?" She said casually. "How in the world did you run into him?"

Katie almost chocked up on her sandwich. "Luke?"

"You know him?" Sadie inquired.

"I do... his son goes to school with Molly."

Someone shoot her now.

"What? How was it that I didn't know this..."

"She just started there when we first moved here, She seems to really like it." Janie explained.

"How could she not? She knows Colt Wheeler... is he really datin' Maddie Conrad?"

"Honey, don't you start..." Sadie gave her friend an apologetic smile.

"As far as I know she is..."

"That's got to be weird, since their parent's were dating in the first place." Katie let out.

"Guess everyone is happier now, specially since Rayna and Deacon have that little boy of theirs to think of. It's been a long way but I'm so happy Deacon's finally getting back on his feet..."

" talk about them as if..."

"Katie, they are regular folks like you and me..." Sadie let out. "Clumsy ones but..." She had not realized she was smiling as Luke crossed her mind.

"Huh?"

"Oh yeah, Luke gave mama a new coffee cause it was his fault she dropped hers." Sawyer continued. "He's gonna let me see all his guitars someday..."

"Excuse me mister but who's the one who sneak into that tour bus..." Sadie let on.

Janie was so intrigued on what had happened. She almost forgot she had to go pick up the kids. "What in the world did you guys get into?"


Maddie had promised Rayna she'd babysit for her parents tonite. That was until Colt called her last minute and asked her if she wanted to come over. "Can't, I promised mom and dad I'd take care of Robbie, they got some date nite planned and..."

"Really? Well you could always bring Robbie over, I don't mind." Colt told her as he smiled. "Pick you both up, order some pizza, watch a movie..."

"You sure?"

"Hey, I just wanna hang out with you alright?" Doesn't really matter what we do, haven't seen you in a while and school is just about to start... come on just sweet talk your mom.."

"Sweet talk who?" Maddie heard Luke's voice in the background. "i was just 'bout to ask you if you wanted to do somethin' since its our first day back..."

"its just Maddie wants to come over..." She heard as Colt moved the phone away to talk to his dad. Maddie was really glad things were better between Colt and Luke, she just knew the man was happy to have his son home with him.


"You wanna take Robbie over to Luke's? What about Daphne?" Rayna said. "Honey, I don't really think its a good idea..."

"Why not? Robbie loves it there and no one is saying Daphne can't come too." the girl said.

"We should maybe cancel on tonight" Her mom said.

"We cancelin'?" Deacon came into the kitchen where they were. "Is something wrong?"

Maddie looked at her dad and smiled, it'd been three and a half months since his surgery and he was doing so good, but they've barely made it out the door. They had all been so focused on getting him in the best shape possible that summer had just flown them by. "No babe, but Colt invited Maddie over for a movie and apparently they don't see each other enough..." Maddie rolled her eyes.

"Its not like that, he just got back from touring with Luke and..." They suddenly saw how Robbie's toddler ways were making it downstairs in Daphne's arms . Rayna smiled at her baby boy, he seemed to be just waking up from his nap.

"I didn't hear the monitor..."Rayna told Daphine.

"Yeah I was just waling passed his door when I heard him," Daphne told her mom.

"Had a good nap buddy?" Deacon took hin from moved his face to the crook of Deacon's neck.

"Aren't you guys meant to be getting ready to go?" the little girl asked.

"Actually..."

"They are, I was actually talking to Colt and he invited us over for pizza and a movie." Her sister said. "Mom and dad just have to give us permission to go."

"You mean pizza and kissing..." Daphne mused. "Sure, I don't mind."

"Hey what about you Robbie? You want to go see Colt?"


"Seriously, you have to be the first boyfriend to let someone's brother and sister to come along."Maddie told Colt when Rayna and Deacon dropped them all of at Luke's.

"It's fine" Colt smiled. "I'm just glad you could all make it."

"So?" Daphne asked. "What are we watching?"

"I don't know Daph, I was thinking you could help me pick the movie up, what do you say?" Colt told her.

"I believe I know that little lady over there." Luke's voice beamed from behind Daphne.

"Uke!" Robbie's voice piped in.

"She really wanted to come so she had to deal with us coming too." Daphne told Luke as they hugged.

"I see..." Luke said. "First night back huh?" Colt turned tomato red. "Its all in good fun i hope, after all, you do have children around."

"Dad!'

"What son? Just sayin' it as I see it, no ham in that, tell you what? Why don't you go ahead and pick up a movie while me and this little man go ahead and order somethin' to eat." Luke picked Robbie up and dialed a number while Maddie and Colt followed Daphne to the living room.


Sadie was putting the kids to bed when she realized she hadn't cleaned the mess on the van and she'd just brought everything along with her, even the trashbag. She hit her leg on the side of the bed and cursed under her breath. the impact, scattered all the trash around, she sighed as she cleaned. She saw the cup Luke had given her earlier and smiled at the memory of Sawyer telling everyone how he was friends with Luke Wheeler. Speaking of Luke. She had not notinced there was an adress written in the back of the plastic cup. Wheelin' Dealin' Records was written on it, but what was the meaning of all this? Luke didn't even know her, she was a nobody, but apparently Nashville didn't seem that big because apparently Molly was clasmates with his child.

As she stared at the small plastic cup she wondered if this would be the last she'd see of Luke Wheeler? And what about Pete... He was still out there, maybe still too drunk to realize they were even gone.

Sadie sighed as she finished picking everything up, her body was sore and she hadn't even realized were she was all day, she had been so focused on the kidds, on making sure they were alright that she had not stopped in for a moment to think about what she had just done. She had just packed up the kids and let, left her job and her home and... her guitar. How could she had forgotten her guitar?

She got herslf in bed, careful not to disturb Rory and allowed her mind to wionder.

She wondered about what tomorrow would be like? She'd have to go and find a way to get a job, get the kids to school for next week

This was her life now, she'd made it trough and it was all that mattered Even when she cried herself to sleep at night.
