Grow Up Jack

"Come on Jack, you have to get up and do something," I hear Matt tell me. I take a sip of my beer and continue to stare at the wall. "What for, I don't have Alison anymore." "Jack its been two weeks, you need to stop being lazy and get up." I finish my beer and toss the bottle onto the floor. "Do something? I want to get Alison back, but that won't happen." "How do you know that?" "Because Sarah made it clear I'm never going to see Alison again. She's getting what she wants. For me to not be in Alison's life. They never planned on me being in her life in the first life." "Jack-" "You try having your daughter ripped out of your life and see how you feel."

Sarah's POV:
"I miss daddy, aunt Sarah." I shake my head and ignore Alison, Jack is not a good influence on her and his life is the life I been trying to keep her out of. I been following Jack's online profiles for years, and I know I don't want Alison in that life style. Jack can claim he's a great dad all he wants, he could be drinking when Alison isn't around. He could be off having sex with some random woman he just met and never see them again. I know how he is. "I miss daddy!!" I let out a sigh and look at Adison, "your not seeing him again Alison, so please stop asking." "I wanna be with daddy!" "No Alison, your not seeing him." Alison starts crying and runs off to her room. All she's been wanting lately is to be with Jack. I am not about to let some sex hound have her. I hear Alison cry harder and I shake my head, she's to young to understand.

I wake up to Alison crying like she's having a nightmare and I slowly get out of bed. I go to her room and I see her thrashing around in her sleep and crying. I run over to her and hold her, "Alison. Alison wake up." "Daddy!!," Alison cries in her sleep. "Daddy come back!!" "Alison sweetie please wake up." Alison wakes up suddenly and looks up at me, tears streaming down her face. "What's wrong sweetie?" Alison pushes me away from her and goes under her blankets. "Alison?" "Daddy was leaving me. But he didn't want to go." "Alison its okay." "No it not. I wanna be with daddy. Daddy made me happy, he made my scary dreams go away. I see mommy as a angel with daddy." I stare at her and look away, for the longest time Alison had nightmares of Alli leaving her, of her dying. I never could figure out how to help her. I start to tear up and close my eyes. Alison started to have her nightmares more frequently since I brought her room, and they seem to be worse.

I look back at Adison, she was silently crying while laying down, her back facing me. "What can I do to help Adi?" "Daddy can." I walk out and quietly close the door. I lean against the wall and stare up at the ceiling. I'm only doing what Alli asked me to do, to keep her out of Jack's life, so Jack can continue with his life without knowing he has a daughter to stop him. I promised her that before she passed away. "I'm so sorry Alli, I failed you."
