Third Times A Charm

Jack

"I'm gonna miss you guys," I said, holding Joella and Noah.

I kissed Alex while our children were hugging me while cradled in my arms. Becca was standing in the doorway with Lexi leaning against her. I looked at the ground, with my kids crying, begging me to stay. It wasn't easy to leave, it was harder every time I had to leave. I kissed their foreheads, desperately trying not to cry.

"Be safe Jacky, please," Alex said.

"Aren't I always baby," I whispered to him.

"Please promise me that you'll be safe. Promise me that you're not going to do anything stupid."

"Alex, I love you. I won't do anything stupid, I swear. I love you so much baby."

He took the kids from my arm, they were crying for me, begging me not to go. Alex took my face and kissed me deeply. We weren't going to be gone for long but a few months still feels like an eternity. He pulled away and looked up at me. His eyes locked onto mine, they still made me melt.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too, fiancée," I whispered back.

I picked up my suitcase and walked into Matt's car. He was patiently waiting for me inside it. I threw my bag into the backseat and took the seat in shotgun next to Matt. He shook his head and put the car reverse. Once we started to drive away he cleared his throat, asking for my attention.

"You gonna tell your kids one day," he asked.

"It was asked that I not. She wants nothing to do with them and it's better if they have nothing to do with her. She came back the other day, begging to see them. I'm just so ashamed, I can't admit to them the horrible thing I had done to Alex. He might've forgiven me but I never forgave myself. I broke everything I had promised him. I might be better now but I can't help but feel guilt for everything," I said.

"They deserve to know and you deserve to forgive yourself."

"I also don't deserve Alex."

"Yet, he's chosen you to be the one he spends forever with. It's obvious you two belong together, it's obvious you two love each other. I could see how hard it was for you to leave him. Remember that cause that's what's going to make everything worth it."

I smiled Matt and looked down at the floor. He always knew the right things to say. It was only two and a half months until I could see my prince again. Then we could talk more in depth about our wedding. That's when I could truly give him everything he deserves. Two and half months, that was it.

Notes

Sorry that this took so long to get out. I got preoccupied writing my own solo stories. So, I'm seeing All Time Low again in Charlotte on October 11, message me if you're going to be there, I'd love to meet y'all!
