First message
My phone lit up with her contact for what had to be the twentieth time tonight. Ring. Voicemail. Ring. Voicemail. Then FaceTime. Declined. Again.
I leaned back against the leather seat of the SUV, staring at the city lights beyond the tinted window.
14. That was how old we were when I fell in love with her.
Back before the money. Before the chains, the stadiums, the interviews, and the millions of people screaming my name. It had always been her. Every dream I ever chased started with wanting to build something better for us. We grew up together. Struggled together. Loved each other through empty refrigerators, overdue bills, and nights spent wondering how we’d make it through another week.
When we were 21, our child was born. For a while, we made it work. Then reality got in the way. She had dreams of her own. I had music. Neither of us wanted the other to give up a future we’d worked so hard for.
So we broke up. Not because the love disappeared. Because it never did. Even now we co-parent better than most couples who stay together. We talk. We show up. We put our child first.
My thumb hovered over her contact again. The court papers changed everything. The moment she saw I’d filed for full custody, she looked at me like I was a stranger.
The worst part? I couldn’t tell her why. I couldn’t tell her about the contracts. The threats. The people behind the scenes pulling strings and treating my family like a business opportunity.
I just needed to hear their voice.
