If you've been wanting Jack's point of view buckle up and enjoy :)

_____________

The morning comes and jack hasn't called or even texted. While bentley is having a small nap after I give him his morning feed I make myself eat and drink as much coffee as I can.

"Maybe he lost it and she answered" I whisper to myself trying to rationalize why he hasn't contacted me. To distract my mind I call stella.

She answers right away "you okay?" She asks. "Jack went to Atlanta to finish songs but I haven't heard from him since he left, in called him last night and some girl answered" I reply trying not to lose my shit. "That fucker, I'm coming to get you pack a bag or something" she says.

My heart thumps nervously and I go over to the room grabbing a suitcase and packing it. Don't know how long I'll be gone so I fill it up, I grab a smaller bag and pack a bag for bentley and his diaper bag as well.

Before she gets here I change Bentley and make sure he is ready to go. There's a knock on the door before it opens and stella comes in. "You look fucking tired" she comments. "blame jack for that one" i reply letting out a sigh. "He puts the Jack in jackass" she replies.

I laugh slightly feeling mad at him before writing on a piece of paper. "Let's go" I say grabbing my suitcase and diaper bag for Bentley. She carries him out in the carrier for me and I put our bags in the trunk before getting in the back with Bentley since she doesn't have a carseat.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asks looking at me. I nod "yeah" I whisper. She nods and drives to the new apartment. I turned my phone off on the way there and watched out the window quietly listening to the radio.

We get to the apartment and madline is in the kitchen and she turns around looking at me and then at the bags. "What happened?" She asks. "I called him and a girl answered" I say simply. "Fuck him man" she replies. "He hasn't contacted me since" I add.

She frowns and hands me a cup of coffee "here you look like you need this" she says then takes Bentley from stella. "Hes a week old and jack pulls this? Unbelievable" stella shakes her head.

Jack's point of view

After spending the day in the studio with dru and a new intern he recently hired I fell asleep at the hotel and woke up to my phone missing. I looked everywhere and couldn't find it.

Grabbing my stuff I go over to the studio finding dru. "Dude did I forget my phone here?" I ask panicking. "No I haven't seen it" he answers. "Fuuuuck ivy is gonna lose her shit" I groan. "Go home and explain what happened" he says.

As I'm pacing around the studio stressed out the intern walks in and stops. "Jack are you okay? Do you need coffee or water?" She asks batting her eyelashes.

I shake my head "no have you seen my phone anywhere?" I ask. "Oh shoot is this is?" She asks holding it up. "I thought it was mine oopsies" she says handing it to me. The screen lights up and there's at least 30 calls and texts from ivy, and a couple from stella and madeline.

Stella: dont know or care who that women was that answered YOUR phone but you better fix this

Madeline: you fucked up

"I gotta go, dru you know what to do" I say looking him in the eyes. He nods quickly "yeah Ashley you're fired" I hear him say after I walk out. I speed off to the airport getting the next flight out to la.

The painful 5 hours go by and I run as fast I can through the airport to get to my car. Sitting in the car for a few seconds I take a few deep breaths.

While I'm driving home I dial ivy's number and she doesnt answer it goes straight to voice mail. "COME ON" I yell angrily. Thankfully traffic isn't too bad and i get home and unlock the door.

Pure quiet. No no no noooo. I look around the house and find a note on the kitchen island.

I'm sorry - ivy

I run my hand through my hair trying to think then I call stella. She's less mad at me. She picks up within seconds "what?" She asks. "Wheres ivy and bentley?" I ask. "What are your intentions?" She asks. I sigh "to explain what happened" I answer.

She sighs on the other side of the phone "she's at my apartment, come by the salon to get the spare key she really doesn't want to see you so she won't answer" she replies.

After getting the key I speed over to the apartment using it and running up the stairs.

Ivy's point of view

As I'm feeding Bentley and cleaning his bottles in bowling water theres a knock on the door. Weird. I go over and answer it seeing jack leaning against the door frame catching his breath.

"What?" I ask shifting bentley. "Can I explain what happened?" He asks. I sigh opening the door more letting him in and going back to the stove removing the baby bottles.

He leans against the counter looking at me "I thought I had my phone when I left the studio but I didn't" he starts. "Who was the girl that answered?" I ask. "The intern dru hired" he answers.

I finish feeding Bentley and we move to the couch where I burp him. "And why was she answering your phone?" I ask. He shrugs "I don't know I was recording" he answers. I nod letting it process.

While bentley was able to sleep last night I did some thinking way too much if I'm being honest. "Soo?" He asks. "I believe you" I start looking at him. He nods looking hopeful "are you coming home then?" He asks. I shake my head "we need a break" I answer simply.

He sighs running his hand through his hair "what do you mean a break?" He asks. "Time apart, we can co-parent but I'm not going home" I answer simply. "Co parent? Like I get him on weekends type of thing?" He asks.

I nod looking down at bentley "exactly" I answer. "Fine if that's what you want then whatever" he replies standing up and putting the key on the table and leaving without a word.

"Fuck" I whisper to myself. Until the girls get home I distract myself with the tv and Bentley and stay off of my phone.
