A Love Like War
It Took Three Fucking Weeks?!
Jack
Two weeks. It’s been two whole weeks since I last seen Alex in that run down, old Motel. Was he really starting over without us? To say I missed him would be a total understatement. I missed him so bad my heart ache every second of the day. I wanted to be able to hold him at night as he lay his head on my chest, but I don’t think that will ever happen again. I don’t think he will ever come back. Ever.
Miracle hasn’t been the same lately, she isn’t the bright happy child she always was. I know for sure with Alex being gone, it’s taken a huge toll on her. I always have to bring her to work with me now, I’m just glad that Matty doesn’t care, he loves seeing her. I had to drop out of college, I couldn’t continue without help with Miracle.
I had just gotten off work and was now driving back home, with Miracle in her car seat in the back. It was currently almost 7:30pm, and I had to get Miracle feed and straight to sleep when we got back home. I drove till I reached the driveway of my house, I pulled in and stopped the car. I got out and got Miracle out of her seat and put the diaper bag over my shoulder and started walking up to the door. Once I was about halfway to the door, I noticed what looked to be the figure of someone sitting on the steps. I got closer and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
The person looked up at me and walked closer to us. I held Miracle closer to my side, not wanting to let go for even a second.
“Hey Jack.” The person spoke softly.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“I want to come home. I thought about what you said. You’re right, I shouldn’t have left. I need my family.” He pleaded. I don’t know if I could take him back after all the pain he has put us through. But, I love him and I can’t stop loving him.
“And why didn’t you think about that two fucking weeks ago?” I asked him.
“Jack, please. You have to see it from my point of view-” I cut him off.
“No, Alex. I don’t have to see it from your point of view. Zack said one fucked up thing to you and you up and leave your fucking family for three whole weeks. Do you know what we have been through these past weeks? Miracle is not herself, I had to drop out of college. I’m getting less hours at work, which means less money to take care of my daughter.”
“Jack-” I didn’t let him speak.
“Here, take the keys and open the damn door. I’m not going to let you sleep outside, you can stay on the couch. But this does not mean I’m letting you back into our life.” I said as I held out the keys to him.
