Chapter 7
The next day, Patton receives the email that Declan sent him. He takes a good look and reads it. He doesn't like what he's reading. He decides to pay Amanda a visit.
"Hey honey. I was heading home. I'm going to take Christina to lunch in a while. You can come too." Tony says.
"I'm waiting for Declan." Amanda tells her father.
"You and Declan can come when you're ready. I'll see you at lunch." Tony says.
Tony stays with his daughter while she waits for Declan. He is ready to find his wife to take her to lunch. Amanda and Declan will join them. Patton drives up and Tony backs up in order to be away from Patton after what happened. Patton gets out of the car and walks up to Amanda.
"I thought I told you to shut the hell up." Patton says, angrily.
Amanda gasps as she sees Patton and as he walks up to her. She is scared and she doesn't know what to do.
"I didn't. What do you want?" Amanda asks.
"Your fiancé just sent me a threat online." Patton replies.
"Well, I wonder where he got that idea." Amanda responds.
Patton becomes angry with Amanda. She doesn't want to talk to Patton. Her father is scared for his daughter.
"What did you tell him?" Patton asks.
"I didn't tell him anything. Leave me alone." Amanda replies.
Patton grabs Amanda by her arm and he squeezes it hard. She screams out in pain.
"Ow! Patton let me go!" Amanda yells.
"I'm not going to warn you again. Stay away from me and stay away from my wife and tell your fiancé to keep his mouth shut or else you're going to…" Patton yells.
"Let her go, Patton!" Declan yells.
Declan runs up to Patton and he pulls him off of her. He pushes Patton to the ground and he fights him. Tony runs up to see the two men fighting.
"It's okay Declan. He's leaving now." Tony says.
Patton gets up and he tries to beat Declan and Tony up. He is mad because of the message he received.
"Hey! Get the hell out of here!" Amanda yells.
Patton walks away and he walks up to his car. He gets in his car and he gets ready to drive away. Tony and Declan are not too happy with Patton. Amanda is scared for her life.
Patton drives away in his car. Declan runs his hands through his hair. Amanda wants to cry but she holds back tears.
"Stay away from Amanda! If I ever see you again, I'll rip your head off!" Declan yells.
Declan walks up to Amanda and he comforts her. He looks into her eyes.
"Are you okay?" Declan asks.
"Yeah." Amanda responds.
"Let's get out of here. Mr. Rollins, we'll see you for lunch around 12:30." Declan says.
Declan and Amanda walk out of the park and get ready to go home. Tony is scared for them. He hopes to see them for lunch. Amanda is clinging to Declan as he walks her to the car.
"Honey, honey, I'm sorry. Okay? Patton's an idiot. It's okay. You want to go home?" Declan asks.
Amanda shakes her head yes. Declan comforts Amanda as she is scared by what happened.
"Let's go home and we'll get ready to meet your dad for lunch." Declan says.
Around 12:30, Amanda and Declan meet Tony and Christina at his restaurant for lunch. Declan is impressed on how her father owns a restaurant. The place looks modern and it's amazing.
"You own this place, Mr. Rollins?" Declan says.
"Yeah. I owned a bar when I used to gamble and now I own a restaurant." Tony replies.
The waiter comes to Tony's table and the gang order their food. A few minutes later, the food arrives and they eat. The gang are enjoying their lunch and they discuss more about the wedding.
"After we find a place to have the reception, I'll give the place my card and recommend some food that we can have." Tony says.
"Everybody loves the food here, Tony. I'm sure they'll love the food at the reception." Christina says.
Amanda gets a text from Fin saying that he and Olivia want to come by Amanda's apartment after lunch. They are going to help Amanda tell her father that Patton approached her after he was told to return to Atlanta. They are finished with their lunch and head home.
"Liv and Fin will be here soon." Amanda says.
"They're good people." Tony says.
Amanda, Declan, Christina and Tony play with baby Jesse on the couch. They are watching a movie as well. Amanda waits anxiously for Fin and Olivia. She needs to tell her father that Patton approached him.
