I'm A Father

Chapter 31

Jack's POV

Sammy walked around the corner. I looked over at Mandy. Her face expression told me that she was shocked and worried. "Holy shit! Is it actually you Mandy!?" Sammy said shocked and excited. "Haha. Yeah..." Mandy said. "Oh my god. It's you!" Sammy ran over to Mandy and gave her a tight hug. "I haven't seen you since sophomore year!" Mandy laughed.

After hugging Mandy, Sammy looked over at Tanner. "Wow. Did you already find a babysitting job?" Sammy asked me. Mandy looked over at me and gave me a look. Mandy got up and walked over to Tanner. All of our eyes were on her as she walked over to Tanner. "No he didn't. He's my son." Sammy was shocked. He tried saying stuff, but nothing would come out. "You-you mean you have a son?" "Yeah..." Mandy said. "Who's the dad!" Sammy said.

I got up from my sit and walked over to Mandy and Tanner. I put my arm around Mandy and rested my hand on Tanner's shoulder. It was quiet for a long time. Sammy kept pointing, back and forth, wit his index finger at Mandy and I. "Daddy? Why is it quiet." Tanner said. "What? No! That's your son. You had Jack's son!" "Yep..." Mandy said. This got awkward.

"Oh Jack. What's Leigh going to think about this?" Sam said. Why did the fuck he say that!? Mandy pulled away from me. "Leigh.." She said in a way that I knew she was hurt. "No it's not what you think." I said. "Yeah I'm sure it's not Jack... All that stuff you said to me was a lie. You probably just said all that stuff because you felt bad for me because I had to raise Tanner all by myself, but also, with the help of my mom! Come on Tanner, were leaving!" She picked Tanner up. She rushed out of the door. I chased after her. "Mandy! Just listen to me!" I kind-of yelled at her. Tanner started to cry. "Jack just stop. Okay. We're done. You should have told me you had a girlfriend, instead of sleeping with me!" She yelled at me. I couldn't stand to see my little boy cry. Before I could say anything else, she shut the door in my face.

I walked back to my apartment. "Look, I'm sorry bro." Sammy said. "Save it for later." I hit his shoulder as I passed him to get to my room. I slammed my door shut. Fuck my life.
