Fantasy Becomes Reality

Chapter 58

I woke up to my dad knocking on my bedroom door and I jumped up in bed.

"You okay?" He asked and I nodded.

"Andrews here, are you sure everything's okay with you two?" He asked and I nodded.

"We're fine." I said and got up to follow my dad down the steps. When I was halfway down the steps I saw him on the couch with Skylar and he was holding her and talking to her.

"There's mommy." He said looking up at me and he smiled making me smile.

"And her beautiful smile that I haven't seen in days." He added and I walked over to him and sat across from him.

"Why are you here so early?" I asked and his smiled faded.

"I wanted to see Skylar." He said looking up at my dad and glancing back to me.

"What in the hell is going on?" My dad asked.

"Do you want to tell him Andy?" I asked and he clenched his jaw.

"Jasmine how many times do I have to tell you I'm sorry." He said.

"You keep saying it but you won't show it." I said.

"Because you won't let me touch you." He mumbled.

"Because when you've been touching other people you really think I want you touching me?" I asked raising my voice.

"What?" My dad asked and we both looked up at him and back to each other.

"I don't want to talk about this right now." Andrew said through his clenched teeth.

"Oh look whose schedule is busy now." I said smartly from what he had said yesterday and he laughed. I got up and my dad took Skylar and Andrew grabbed my wrist.

"Let go of me." I warned and he held it even tighter.

"No." He said.

"No because I need you to listen to me for once." He said and my dad was just standing there watching.

"Let go of me." I yelled.

"Andrew." My dad warned.

"No-no-Jasmine you know that I would do anything in this world for you and I would do anything to make you happy because you are my entire world and so is Skylar." He paused looking over and her and loosened his grip on my hand.

"I love you so much Jasmine and I know I fucked up I know that okay? That is the worst decision I have ever made in my life and I promise you that I will never hurt you again and that I will make sure you and Skylar are always happy, I get it you hate me. I understand completely because I know exactly how you feel because I was in the same shoes you are, but I need you to know that I love you." He said and I could see his eyes forming tears in them.

"And last night when we hugged it was the best feeling in the world because I wanted you." He said and let go of me.

"I don't care if anything I just said meant anything to you I just needed you to listen." He said and walked past me and slammed the door.

"Do you want to talk?" My dad asked and I shook my head.

"No." I said and rubbed my wrist where he held it.

"Did he hurt you?" He asked.

"No I'm fine." I said and I went back upstairs to my room and laid down on my bed. I couldn't cry I was just numb and exhausted. I pulled the covers over me and before I knew it I was back to sleep again.

"Jas do you want to eat dinner?" I heard my dad ask standing in the doorway. I felt like hiding forever but I got up anyways.
