Forgive me. Please?

Jack POV

"Daddy, daddy, daddy get up daddy!" My daughter, Isla, laughed as she jumped up and down on my bed.
"Go away mum." I muttered and rolled over and slowly fell back asleep again.
"Don't be silly daddy." Isla said and jumped on me.
I grunted and rolled onto my back.
Isla sat on my stomach.
"Morning princess." I smiled.
"morning daddy." She smiled as well and cuddled into my chest.
I pulled the covers over us because I was cold even with Isla cuddled into my chest.
"Don't go back to sleep daddy." She said.
"I'm not dont worry." I chuckled.

We got to Isla preschool and stood by my friend Zack and his two kids Eric and Jacob.
Isla went off and played with Eric and Jacob.
"She's going to be a right slut when she's older." Zack chuckled.
"Just like her mother then." I said quietly.
"Has the dreaded ex wife returned?" He asked.
"Only to see Isla at the weekend but that's it." I said.
Zack was looking at someone with a frown on his face looked at me and smiled until Jacob came over crying.
"What's up bud?" Zack asked and picked him up.
"They pushed me." He sniffed.
"Who did?" He asked and Jacob pointed to some kids.
"Stay with me and Jack then." He said and Jacob stayed with us.

We went inside and I heard a voice I haven't heard in 5 years.
I looked at the person and I felt butterflies for the first time in 5 years.
He walked over with his little boy and sat on floor and played with the toys.
I just couldn't stop looking at him.
"Don't stare daddy its rude." Isla said and she walked over to say good bye to me.
Thanks Isla make it obvious I was actually looking at him.
we said goodbye and went to work since I worked with Zack it was a perfect time to talk.

"You heard anything from Alex?" I asked since Zack was still talking to Alex.
"Nope, last I heard his Mrs did a runner and him and his son moved back here again." Zack said.
"wait he was married?" I asked confused.
"Christ Jack where the fuck have you been?" He asked and looked at me.
"Out of his life." I said sadly.
"Well that was your fault which resulted in you having a kid." Zack grumbled.
"Yeah think I know that considering I have Isla since her mother doesn't want anything to do with her." I said.
Zack looked at me.
"Anna came round at the weekend to see her and she said to me it was the last time she'll see for a while." I said and looked down.
"Christ your life sounds just as fucked at Alex's." He chuckled.
"So you have been speaking to him then." I said.
"It was ages ago." He said.
I rolled my eyes and got on with my work.

I went to pick Isla up from preschool and she came running over to me.
"Daddy I've made a new friend." She smiled and caught hold of my hand and took me over to her new friend.
"Who's this then Isla?" I asked and looked at the boy who was hiding behind his dads leg.
"Archie." She smiled.
I looked at Archie and saw it was Alex.
He looked down and sighed.
"We better get going Archie, say bye to Isla." Alex said.
A little hand waved between Alex's leg.
"Alex wait." I said before I could stop myself.
He looked at me and hurt and saddness just filled his eyes.
"I can't. I'm sorry." He said quietly and picked Archie up and walked off.
I sighed and looked at Isla.
"Do you know him?" She asked and caught hold of my hand as we walked home.
"A long time ago I did." I said.
"What happened?" She asked and I picked her up and kissed her cheek.
"You don't have to worry about because it was a long time ago." I said.
"Can Archie come and play?" She asked.
"I dunno, we'll have to ask his dad. But how about we go and have a ice cream or something." I said.
She smiled and nodded.

It was late and Isla was in bed and I was in my room looking at old photos I had of me and Alex.
I feel really bad for what I did to him I pretty much broke him.
His words what he said to me kept playing in my mind.
'I hate you. I never want to see you again and if I do then I'll run away until you finally get the message I fucking hate you and never want you in my life ever again!'
I sniffed because that was the last time I saw him until today.
I put the photos back and went to bed.
