In the moment

Flowers and apologise

Sara stands up from the cubicle floor and adjusts her knickers and skirt before reapplying her lipstick. She heads back out into the pub looking for jack but he'd already left. As she heads outside into the main car park she can see him faintly in the distance.

Her legs walking 10 times faster than normal in hopes to catch up with him 'JACK!' She shouts trying to get him to stop but he just flings his arm in the air as a sign to go away. 'Please jack, I love you' she confesses.

She really did in her own twisted way. The 3 years they'd spent together was full of ups and downs but she ended up taking him back every time because she knew she'd never love anyone like she loved him. As she watched him turn the corner and out of her sight her heart sank. He was everything she always wanted him to be, a father and husband. But how far was she willing to go to get him back in hopes he would be that person for her?

Jacks woken by the sound of sophs hairdryer. He watches her sat at the dressing table, she's completely naked and you still can't tell she's pregnant from the back. The pain in his chest grows, how could he hurt such a beautiful person, why didn't he just come home to this.

She catches his eye in the mirror and turns around switching the hairdryer off 'morning sleepy head, there's two pain killers and a glass of water for you there' she nod towards the bedside table.

'Ah thanks' he says reaching over before popping them in his mouth. He continues to watch her as she curls her luscious dark hair. 'Looks nice that' he says as she puts her curler down.

She turns around smiles before crawling up the bed to cuddle him. He kisses the top of her head but can't help but think where his lips had been not even 12 hours earlier. 'I'm gonna go do breakfast, why do ya fancy?' He asks

'You know I think I'm just fancying like Greek yoghurt with fruit and honey' he can feel her face frowning against his skin in thought

He lifts his arm to remove himself from the cuddle and sits on the edge of the bed 'I might have to go Asda for that like, think you can hold out till I'm back?' He sits staring at the wall unable to look her in the eyes

'Sure' she heads back over to the dressing table before unrolling her make up bag.

Jack heads downstairs to the kitchen to check the cupboards but there was literally nothing in. He closes the cupbord and turns around to find Kiera the other side of the breakfast bar tapping her fingers against the glossy work top. She slides his phone over to him 'you might want to be carful with that' she says before making her way to switch the kettle on

'Why? Why did you have it?' He unlocks the screen checking his notifications

She slams her mug on the side before throwing in a teabag 'well it's probably a good job I did have it! You received a questionable WhatsApp at 2.30am that don't worry I discarded of before anyone else saw it!'

Jacks leaning at the breakfast bar with his head in his hands 'was it?'

'Yes.. yes it was. You need to sort it jack. You know she won't stop till she has her nasty claws back into you'

Jack grabs his keys before passing Kiera heading for door. 'Thanks ki' he says as he squeezes the top of her shoulder.

Jacks sat in Asda car park staring out the car windowing wonder just how he was going to fix his mistakes. He could get around this without Soph even finding out couldn't he?

He heads in and collects a few bits for sophs breakfast and a bunch of flowers. He pays and then jumps back in his Land Rover and starts driving back toward oneils, he knows what he needs to do.

He pulls round the back near the flat door and rings the bell but there was no answer, he looks at the cars in the car park and non of them were Sara's. He sits back in the car banging his hands on the steering wheel in frustration.

'Morning Kiera, did you sleep okay?' Sophs asks as she enters the kitchen.

Kiera turns round and flicks the kettle back on for her 'i did, did you? I know jack snors loud when he's had a drink!' She says making Soph laugh

'He does snor very loud doesn't he' she laughs 'what are your plans today?' She sits down opposite her with her tea.

Kiera tells her she's meeting her boyfriend and heading over to the bull ring. It wasn't long till they were discussing shops and make up brands and Soph was feeling like she hadn't actually been shopping in a while and said her and jack might meet up with them before they head home. The bell rings for the front gate and Kiera heads off answer it.

Jack sits in his car staring at the front door, he grabs the bunch of flowers from the passengers seat and starts walking over.

He can feel his heart beating wildly in his chest, he knows he shouldn't be here. He knocks his hand heavy against the glass front door. Then he sees her heading up the hallway, her face beaming when she realises it's him.

She pulls open the heavy front door 'we'll you are the last person I expected to see today!' She bites her bottom lip waiting for his response

He holds out the flowers to her 'I really just wanted to say sorry yknow, what I did. What we did. It was wrong, it shouldn't have happened'

'Are you here to keep me quiet jack?' She tilts her head to the side

He laughs and shakes his head 'I could never keep you quiet Sara. I just don't want you to get the wrong idea. I heard what you ..'

She cuts him off 'it doesn't matter what I said though does it. And we'll you did a pretty good job of keeping me quiet last night' she raises her eye brows at him before softening her face 'look it's pretty fucking cold out here, do you want to come in?'

He looks her tiny frame up and down in her sports bra and legging. 'I can't stay long'
