John Walker, you're an A~~hole

Chapter 3 ~ Seeing John again

After we finish the breakfast, I help the others clean up.

Later, I make a deal with them to take care of Liam today so I can go pick up the rest of our stuff.

"Let me go with you and help you pick up your stuff," Tony says, really wanting to help me. "It's really nice that you want to help me, but I really should go alone, I don't want to make things worse, they are already bad enough," I say, trying to convince him not to go with me.

After some time I finally got him to budge, but only if I borrow one of his cars. "Okay, Tony, I'll borrow one of your cars for today, but only because my car is a very small car, and it has no space in it," I say to him, with a smile.

I say my goodbyes to Liam and the team, and then I drive in Tony's car to get my stuff.

When I arrive I go up to the door and knock, it doesn't take long before John opens it with a tired look. "Oh, hi Y/n, I didn't know you were coming today." He doesn't have a lot of expression on his face, he just looks tired, and a bit sad too. "I was just gonna pick up the rest of my stuff, and maybe buy some new stuff for Liam," I say to him, giving him a little friendly smile. We get inside, and he finds some boxes I can pack my stuff in.

"Do you want me to help you?" He says. "No it's fine, you look tired, you don't have to," I say, forcing a smile on my face again, to be honest, it's nice of him that he wants to help, but I know we'll just end up arguing or fighting, and that's probably the last thing we need, and he knows that too. "Okay," he says and goes to lay down in his bed.

He only lays there for about 5 or 10 minutes, before he gets up. "What do we do about Liam?" He says as he walks into the living room, where I'm sitting on the floor packing some stuff. "We'll just figure it out, the last thing we want is to have anyone else in over," I say, hoping we can just figure it out as civilians. "What if I want full custody?" He says, with the same emotionless face, he has been using a lot around me lately.

"What? Do you want full custody?" I ask him, nervous about his answer. "Maybe, depends on what we figure out."

"So you mean if you don't get it exactly as you want it, you are going to search for full custody?" I ask him, feeling anger build up inside me. "I just want what's best for Liam." He says, sounding like he doesn't give a fuck about Liam. "I want what's best for Liam too, and we both know that one of us getting full custody over him, isn't what's best for him, he needs to have both his mom and dad in his life," I say. More anger is building up inside me, for every word we exchange.

"I know that he needs both of us," he says calmly. "But he needs to live in a home, not a temporary living situation." He starts to yell and get mad at me. "Right now, he is the happiest little boy I've seen in a long time, because of where he is!" I yell back at him. "Isn't he just at your brother's place?" His voice is lower than before, but he's still yelling. "No, John, if you forgot, then I lost contact with him, because of you!?" I say, feeling tears build up. We argue back and forth, while I pack.

He starts to calm down when I only have 2 boxes left to carry out. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick," John says and leaves. After I put the last boxes in the car, I take off my ring and put it on his counter along with his key, and leave, all before he got out of the bathroom.

No POV, but with John:

John walks out in his living room to find it empty. "Y/n?" He calls out "Are you here?" He sees the ring and the key on the counter. "She left," he says quietly to himself as he picks up the ring. His eyes start to become red, he starts to get mad, he puts the ring in his pocket and throws the first thing he can get a hold on, a cup that was standing on the counter.

The cup shatters into a million pieces when it hits the wall, John walks over and picks up two of the pieces, he cuts himself on one of them, he puts the two pieces together, it's from the bottom, there is a little engraved note on it:'

I will always love you

~Y/n

She bought it to him a few years back, it was an anniversary gift, she made the note as personal as possible, she even got them to engrave it off her handwriting.

His eyes become even redder, a few tears start to run down his cheeks, as he finds something to clean up the broken pieces. He puts the pieces with the note, upon the counter next to his key.

'Right now, he is the happiest little boy I've seen in a long time, because of where he is!'

Y/n's words echoes in his head, Maybe he is better of without me John thinks to himself while cleaning up the mess.
