chapter thirty five

*savannah's pov*

i walked into the house slowly to see everyone sitting on the couch. jack with his hands on his head looking down at the floor, he looked stressed. when i shut the door everyone looked at me sighed in relief.

"before you all say anything to me, i went to the park to clear out my head and bumped into my dad. we talked and i didn't bother to look at my phone. i should've said something but everyone was either in their room or asleep." i said.

nicole gasped, jack just looked at me. johnson, julia and sam all looked like they understood. then i see my mom walk in slowly. which made my heart drop.

"so you easily forgave the man who left you as a baby? the man who left me to take care of you all alone?" she said. which cued everyone to leave the room but nicole and jack.

"i didn't say i've forgiven him. how would i know we both share similar thoughts and meet at the park?" i said. she looked at me and looked taken aback. "well that's because when we dated he'd take me to the park and we'd talk and enjoy just being together. so raising you i'd do the same because it filled that void that he wasn't there. i didn't know he continued to do that." she said softly.

i walked up to her and hugged her. "mom im not letting him back into my life so easily. i was okay with getting to know him and see how it goes." i said. "after all he is your father and i can't change that. it just hurts me that he's trying now and not before." she sighed.

"i know this might sound crazy but i believe giving him a chance might be good for us." i said. a couple days ago i hated him but now i feel like he deserves a second chance. "i don't know if it'll be easy but i can try." she said. nicole came and hugged us. "don't worry if he tries something i'll deal with him." she chuckled.

my mom and nicole left and went to their room. which left just jack and i. he stayed on the couch and didn't say anything. i walked over to sit next to him but he got up, he looked frustrated.

"what happened to us savannah?" he said looking at me. i looked at him confused, "what are you talking about?" i said.

"what happened to us telling each other everything? i've spent countless days worrying about you and making sure you're okay and not overwhelming you but then you do this? you get up and leave and don't tell me anything? this isn't the first time, you do this constantly! i love you with everything in me but it just seems to me that you want to live your life without me. you don't confide in me anymore! i'm your boyfriend and it's like you don't care about that." he says.

he looked at me with tears in his eyes, and i felt my tears slowly falling. "what are you trying to say jack?" i said. "i just think we need a break. we need to work on ourselves because it's starting to feel like we already do things on our own." he said. i looked at him in disbelief.

"you know what jack. i'm sorry, im sorry that i chose to keep things to myself, i never wanted my problems to become everyone's problem! i hate that i've become such a problematic person! i love you and i don't want to you lose jack please, we can fix this together!" i said walking towards him. but he steps back.

"i just can't right now savannah. we need space." he said walking upstairs. i stood there tears pouring and didn't know what to do. i fell to the ground, my body felt weak. i see nicole slowly walking up to me.

"savannah what's wrong?!" she asked. nothing could come out but just me crying. she was able to get me to stand up and sit on the couch. she went to the kitchen to get me water. i didn't want it, i shook my head.
