CHAPTER-10
I woke the next morning to find i was the first one up. That made a change. I climbed out of bed and then i just stood and stared at Jude and Billy. Billy was snuggled up to Jude and Jude had his arm around him. It was the cutest thing ever. I went to Billy's room and got out his clothes for the day and then i grabbed his robe and took it into my room. I grabbed my robe and put it on. i looked at Billy then he woke up. He rubbed his eyes then jumped out of bed and hugged me tightly.
"Morning mamma"
"Morning baby boy. Put your robe and slippers on then we will go watch TV"
"Okay"
he put on his robe and slipper and ran to the living room and switched on the TV. He sat there and watched cartoons.
"What do you want for breakfast"
"Can i have cereal"
"Yeah"
He came over to me and i picked him up and sat him on the kitchen swivel chairs and put his breakfast in front of him. I joined him and we ate our breakfasts. After breakfast Jude woke up and he came to the living room and joined us.
"Morning champ. Morning babe"
"Morning dada"
"Morning Jude"
I looked at Jude then got up and kissed him then Billy came over and hugged us. I looked at the time and Jamie was going to be waiting for Billy.
"Billy i think you better go get ready if you dont want to be late to Uncle Jamie's"
"Oh snap i almost forgot"
He ran off down the hall to go get changed.
"Jude Billy said last night that he wanted to stay in Tree Hill and now i think about it so do i"
"What about your record label"
"I can join it with my mums and we can run it from here together"
"Well i sort off dont want to stay. I only came back for you and Billy to see the family. Im happy in Charlotte"
"Its not for me though its for Billy"
"Ill talk later i have to go to work"
He grabbed his jacket and his keys. Before he left Billy came running back to the kitchen.
"See you later champ"
"Bye dad"
He headed out the door. I looked at Billy and spoke,
"Looks like its just me and you then"
"Not really we have Jamie"
"True get your jacket"
He got his jacket and i put it on him. We opened the door and went to the car. I strapped him in to his car seat and we drove to Jamie's.
As we approached Jamie's Billy got real excited and he started shouting random things at me. I laughed and got out the car. I got Billy out and we knocked on Jamie's door.
"Come in guys"
We went inside and we sat on the sofa. Hayley came down the stairs and sat with me while Billy helped Jamie choose what to wear. 5 minutes later they came back downstairs.
"Right im going to take Billy out now so ill call you later and then drop him off"
"Okay be good Billy"
"I will. love you mum"
"Love you too"
They went out the door and me and Hayley sat on the sofa.
"How is he then Sawyer" she asked
"He is brilliant. The best thing that has ever happened to me" i replied
"Does he sleep okay because obviously you travel a lot and stuff"
"Ye he really enjoys travelling and he sleeps perfect. He never woke when he was a baby and he doesn't now"
"Sounds like a well behaved boy"
"Yeah he is"
"So if he doesn't misbehave then why do you sound upset" she always knows when i am upset.
"It's just Billy and I want to stay in Tree Hill but Jude doesn't and all Jude does now is work. He comes home at night and just ignores Billy, he goes straight to bed. It upsets Billy. I dont think he cares much about him"
"So tell him that he's upsetting him"
"I have but he doesn't care no more. He said the other week that we are still together for Billy's sake and that upset me too. I dont want to be with someone who doesn't love me"
"That's true. Listen if you need to speak to him or have a night alone then Billy can stay here"
"Thank you Hayley means a lot he really adores you all"
"I know" she said while she laughed.
"Im going to go see my mum. Ill call you later Hayley"
"Okay sweetie bye"
I got up and headed out the door. I got into my car and drove home. I lied to Hayley i was going to go home and ring Jude. I walked inside and got the house phone. I sat in the kitchen and rang Jude.
"Hi Jude"
"Hi. What's up?"
"I just wanted to tell you that i think you work too much"
"Well i have to work to get money to pay for things that you and Billy want"
"That is a lie you dont pay for my things and Billy is your son its what you should do"
"I know but yeah"
"Jude i can't be with you no more. You dont pay attention to your son no more you have changed"
"Please give me one more chance"
"No Jude im sorry"
I hung up the phone and went to the bedroom. I packed my bags and then i packed Billy's bags. I threw them in the car and headed back to Hayley's. I got out the car and went inside. She was in the kitchen,
"Hayley"
"Im in the kitchen"
I walked to the kitchen with our bags.
"I left him. I rang him and told him everything then i told him that i couldn't do it no more and finished it"
"Good. So were you going to live now then"
"I dont know i think im going to have to get a hotel room for the night"
"Ridiculous. Use can stay here for as long as you need"
"Thank you Hayley"
"Its fine you can have the downstairs room. Let me show you"
I grabbed the bags off the floor and followed Hayley to a marvellous bedroom. It had a double bed for me and Billy.
"Thank you so much"
"No worries" she said rubbing my shoulder.
"It will work out wont it Hayley"
"Yeah. Us Scott's always beat the odds"
I laughed as we headed out the bedroom. It was coming up to 6:00 p.m. and Jamie was due to ring me. We sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV then my phone started to ring. It was Jamie.
"Hey Jamie how is he"
"He's good we have had tea and everything he can't wait to tell you about it"
"Okay. Cool. Jamie bring him back to your house im there now. We are staying here for a while"
"Cool. Why?"
"I split with Jude"
"Okay we are 5 minutes from the house"
We hung up the phone and me and Hayley continued talking about things that have happened while i was away. Then a little hyper boy came through the door.
"Mamma it was great"
"Was it. What did you and Jamie do"
"We went shopping and he bought me a jersey and some shoes. We played basketball and worked on a car. Then we had tea and came home"
"Sounds like you have had a busy day"
"We did. Im tired"
"Good. Listen Billy we are staying here for a while okay"
"Okay"
"Go get your pyjamas on and ill come read you a story in a minute"
"I'll take him to the room" Hayley said.
"Thanks Hayley"
"Mamma can Jamie read to me tonight"
"Yeah okay. Get to bed you"
He ran down the hall to where Hayley was stood. He went straight into the room then Jamie went into the room and Hayley came back to where i was.
"It's hard. You know"
"I know it was like this when Jamie was a kid. Nathan was travelling though but he was barely home"
"It's just so tough and he doesn't help either. I need to ring my mum and ask her something about her record label"
"Okay ill be in the kitchen"
I pulled out my phone and rang my mum,
"Hey mum. Me and Billy are staying in Tree Hill and i wanted to know if you would like to join the two record labels together"
"That is so great that you are staying in Tree Hill and yeah i would like to do that can we speak tomorrow though im busy thats all"
"Okay mum bye"
She put down the phone then i looked at Hayley. She was stood at the front door and Jude was stood outside.
"Sawyer" she said
"Thanks Hayley i got it from here"
I walked outside and me and Jude sat on the steps.
"Sawyer come home. Back to Charlotte where we belong"
"I can't"
"Why not"
"Billy likes it here"
"So he's a kid he likes everything"
"This is why i can't be with you. You dont care about no one except yourself"
"I dont i care about you all"
"No you dont. You haven't spent quality time with Billy since his 1st birthday. Bye Jude dont come bothering us again"
I headed back inside and sat on the sofa. I started to cry. Hayley came over and sat with me.
"I know it's hard but it will get better. I promise"
"Thanks Hayley"
Jamie came out the bedroom and walked quietly down the hall.
"He's asleep Sawyer"
"Thank you Jamie. He loves you a lot. And thank you for today"
"Dont worry it was awesome he reminds me of myself as a kid. He is like a miniature me"
"I know that's what my mum said too"
"You'll be okay. You have me and he has you and me"
"Thank you best friend. I will see you all tomorrow night Hayley. Night Jamie"
"Night"
I stood up and Jamie came over and hugged me. I headed to the bedroom and got into bed. I cuddled up to Billy and we went to sleep. Goodnight Tree Hill
