Could it be love at first sight?

Chapter 55

Sophie POV:
It's now 3:30pm, Kevin and Karen have stayed the whole afternoon. I haven't heard from Jack at all. Kevin says "still nothing darling?" I shake my head "he left here about 7:30 to meet them at 8pm last night. I honestly don't know what to do now. How can he just disregard me and the kids like this, him going doesn't bother me if he had called or text to let me know." They nod understanding and then Karen says "him going bothers me, he has a pregnant wife and 2 children at home. He should prioritise, no matter what he's celebrating." I smile and shrug "he just won a big trophy, I get he wanted to celebrate I just thought it would be in the UK at least."
After another hour and half, Karen and Kevin say they're going to go. I say "hold on, take a bag of Jacks clothes with you please. He can go to yours when he comes back, I'll let him know he isn't to come here until I've calmed down as I am angry, I've had to lie to his daughter about where he is and when he'll be home. I can't be near him right now." They nod and understand, Kevin says "maybe it'll make him realise he messed up as he clearly hasn't clocked on yet." I give them the bag of clothes and say goodbye. I open my messages and send Jack one last text.
MyJ❤️
I've given some of your clothes and
bits you need to your mum and dad.
You've hurt me and I'm angry at you.
Go straight to your parents house
I don't even want to be near you
right now.

Jack POV:
I wake up and my heads banging, I then see my phone flash up saying I have a text come through. As I open it I see multiple texts and missed calls. I realise that I never told Sophie about this at all and she's found out from an article. I read her latest text and my heart breaks. I try to type a response but I don't know what to say, I can't bring myself to press call as I wouldn't even know what to say if she did answer. My hotel room door knocks, I shout come in. Phil, Kyle, Kalvin and John walk in "woah what's happened Grealish. You look bad but not hungover bad. You look like your about to cry?" John says. I nod and shrug, "I never told Soph about coming here, she's read about it on an article and I've now got a text from her saying not to come back home but to go to my parents as they've got my stuff." They all look shocks and Phil says "mate, that's rough but you know you're in the wrong here don't you." I nod "I know I am, I just need to get home and sort it out if I can." They all nod and say let them know if I need anything, also let me know we're flying home in an hour. I decide to call my dad to let him know, I know he'll be angry at me too.
Dad💖
K-Hi son.
J-Hi dad, I presume you already know don't you.
K-yes son, and I can't say it happy about it, Jack I was at your house and Soph showed us, she spent the whole day upset while having to lie to the kids about where you were and when you'd be home. You know even though I'm angry at you for flying out there, she isn't, she's upset and mad that you didn't tell her. What if something happened to her, the kids it the baby, she wouldn't have known where you were and you haven't been answering calls or texts today.
J-I didn't think dad.
K-You're a husband and a dad of 2 about to become 3, you need to think. I'm proud of you for what you've accomplished but I'm not proud of this.
J-How do I make it better Dad?
K-Getting back to the UK will be a start, come to mine and your mums house and we'll talk it through.
J-Im flying home in about an hour, I'll be at yours about 8:20 this evening.
K-Alright Jack, you're mums making your room up. Fly safe and see you soon.
-8:30pm-
I get out of the taxi outside mum and dads house, I knock on the door and my mum answers. "I'll hug you now then be angry at you later." She says taking me into a hug, as I pull away I say "I'm angry at myself mum, I know I fucked up. I just hope she can forgive me." She looks at me and gives me a sympathetic smile "Jack love, that girl what's already been through enough, please remember this in future. Please tell me that this was the only mistake you made on your night out?" She asks and I look shocked "what do you mean mum? Are you asking if I cheated on her?" I see my mum look at the floor then look up and nod "I'd hope and trust you haven't but it's all she's been hearing since you've been pictured going to Ibiza." It's now my turn to look at the floor. "I promise I haven't mum, I didn't even think about people saying that to her, and I know you're right I've put her through so much and she's stuck by me. I do love her mum, you know that don't you?" I say and she nods hugging me again, "of course I know this, but you need to make sure she does. Son, she's been through hell and back, even before she got with you. Get some sleep and start sorting it tomorrow." I smile then say "I'm going to text her and let her know I am sorry, I love her and the kids and I will keep trying to fix this." She hugs me as I head to my room. I lay in bed typing and re-typing a message to Soph as none of the words seem enough.
MySoph❤️
Soph, baby, I don't expect you to reply to this as I know I've fucked up and I completely understand why you're angry. I just wanted to let you know I am so sorry and I will do anything to show you just how sorry I am. I love you and our children so much and you're all my world. I hope you and the children are okay, please know if you need anything or something happens and you don't want to contact me, please contact mum or dad. I love you all and miss you all, I promise I won't stop until you know how sorry I am. I love you my beautiful wife❤️

I send the text and lock my phone, cuddling into my pillow and tears fall. I've put this girl through hell, even more than she'd already been through before me. This has given me the waking realisation I desperately needed. I lay here hoping and praying I can make this okay.
