Mourning The Losses (Erik Jones Fanfic)

Races, Goodbyes and Hellos Chapter 5

"Fine, she's in her room." He said moving out of the way. I heard faint crying and followed the sound I feel so bad for making her cry. "Zoey." I whispered, I feel so bad. She looked up quickly then went back to crying into her pillows. I sat down beside her on the bed and pulled her so that I could lean against the wall and she was crying into my chest. "Zoey, I didn't mean it the way you think, I'm not the type to cheat that kiss should not have happened but I'm glad I did kiss you because I was blinded by her to truly see how she is, I never loved her, or even liked her she made me think I did but after our kiss I knew what I had to do, I need you in my life and I'm an idiot for wording that text the way I did." I said. 

She wrapped her arms around me and started to stop crying. "Zoey, I want you to know that I would never cheat on you and mess everything up." I said to her kissing her head. "Do you think she'll go back to your RV?" She asked. Just then she texted me telling me that she ran into a friend and would see me tomorrow so I showed the text to Zoey. "Will you stay?" She asked. "Let me go back to my RV to grab some things." I said before putting her on her bed. "Wait can I come?" She asked. "Sure, come on." I said holding out my hand to her. We went to my RV and got all of my things. 

*Zoey P.O.V.*

We walked back to John Hunter's RV and went in, we got ready for bed then got settled on the bed. "I'm sorry about her." I said looking at him. "I'm pretty sure she cheated on me with one of my best friends back home." He said. He pulled me closer to him and we fell asleep listening to each other breath. 

I woke up to something vibrating and it was Erik's phone. "Erik." I said really loud in his ear. "What what's going on?" He asked waking up. "Phone." I said handing it to him. "She's coming back I gotta go." He said. "Alright, I'll see you later I'm going to be in Brandon Jones's pix box for the race." I said. "Alright." He replied before getting ready and leaving. I walked into the kitchen area and JH was there. "You looked cozy last night." He said. "It was nice, he explained what he meant by the text." I replied JH made pancakes so I ate the ones he made me. "Thanks for the pancakes JH." I said. "Anytime." He replied. "If the truck race is usually on Friday why do we go home on Sunday? I asked. "Dad likes to watch the other races see what they do and it helps the team with the truck when we go home." He replied. "Oh ok." I said. 

JH and I hung around the RV and watched movies until the race. "Are you coming to watch the race?" I asked. "Yeah, I'll be there in a little bit but I won't be in the pit box with you, I'll be in another pit box." He replied. "Alright, I'll see you later." I said walking out the door and going to find Brandon Jones. "BJones." I said running up and hugging him. "Hey Zoey is JH coming?" He asked. "Yeah but he's not sitting in your pit box." I said. "Alright at least I have such a beautiful lady in my pit box." He said making me blush. Then he whispered "Here comes EJones." I walked fast when I saw her with him and went to talk to other drivers wishing them luck. 

The race finished and I was not surprised that Kyle Busch won. I went to Victory Lane to congratulate him. "Hey, Kyle good job." I said after everyone was starting to clear out. "Thank you Zoey." He said. "Samantha." I said walking to her and hugging her. "Hey Zoey." She said before hanging me Braxton knowing what I wanted to do. "Hey Braxton." I said smiling. I felt eyes staring at me but didn't turn around to see who it was. Usually when a driver wins they usually let me watch their kids while they celebrate, which is most likely how the children came to be, besides Kyle and Samantha, they had to work hard to get Braxton and he is literally a miracle baby seeing what Samantha had to do to get him. Joe decided that I should do more than just sit around watching the races so I'm the offical babysitter here and we have a crib we somehow fit into a closet in my room. 

"Alright we will pick him up tomorrow morning at some point." Kyle said when they were ready to leave I was hanging out with them. "Alright." I replied before I got the baby bag and I left to my RV. I played with him and JH doing whatever hanging out. He finally fell asleep after feeding him and changing him I fell asleep soon after waking up to take care of Brax. I woke up the next morning to someone talking to John Hunter when I fully woke up I could hear it was Erik. I picked up Braxton and changed him then fed him. I heard someone walk into the room and wrap their arms around my waist. "Someday that's going to be our child and my RV will be our RV." He said putting his chin on my shoulder, Erik. "Is she gone?" I asked. "Yeah and I think I was right." He replied sounding sad. "She cheated on you with your best friend?" I asked carefully. "Yeah." He replied. 

*Erik Jones P.O.V.*

I woke up the next morning with Hayley next to me. We packed her things and headed to the airport after getting ready. As we were saying goodbye I had to tell her. "Listen Hayley I think we need to break up." I said. "I'm pregnant." She replied and my jaw dropped. "It could be Brian's but it could be yours." She said. "You cheated on me with my best friend?" I asked. "Yeah and I was making out with some guy when you were talking to the truck race winner." She said. "Yeah I saw you." I said. "So this is goodbye, when I'm in Byron I'll get all of your things and give them back to you." I said. "This may be the end for us." She replied before leaving. I went back to my RV to clean up a little bit then decided to go see Zoey. 

"Hey John Hunter." I said kind of sad. "Broke up with Hayley?" He questioned. "Yeah," I said before telling him everything that happened. "She should be up." He said talking about Zoey. "I swear I will not break her heart, she is too beautiful to be hurt." I told him. "Good." He said before going to sit back on the couch and I went to her room. She was holding Braxton and feeding him with her back to the door. I carefully wrapped my arms around her. "Someday that's going to be our child and my RV will be our RV." I said putting my chin on her shoulder. "Is she gone?" She asked. "Yeah and I think I was right." I replied sounding sad. "She cheated on you with your best friend?" She asked carefully. "Yeah." I replied. "She also told me she was pregnant." I told her. She turned around and asked "yours?"

"It could be but it could also be my best friend Brian's." I replied. "You were right." She said. "She also told me about the guy when your cousin won." I told her. Just then JH came into the room to tell us that Kyle was here for Braxton. We walked out of the bedroom after I put everything away in the diaper bag and we walked out of her room. "Thank you so much Zoey." Kyle said to her. "Anytime, I love little Braxton." She said smiling and then tickled Braxton making him smile and me. "Well, we should get going I'll see you later in my pit box, both of you." Kyle said pointing to Zoey and me. "Yes sir." I said. Zoey closed the door then took my hand and led me back into her room climbing up to the top bunk. "What if the child is yours?" She asked. "Once I know I'll help pay child support and visit when I'm home, but I want nothing to do with her if that child isn't mine." I said, it was true, if I was stupid and got Hayley knocked up I would take care of my child. 

*Zoey P.O.V.* 

I was wondering if this child actually was Erik's, he wouldn't be this dumb would he? "What are you thinking about?" He asked. "What if the child is yours how could you of been that dumb, you're almost twenty." I said. "We used protection every time, I don't know how it could be my child." He said. "We have to be careful." I said. "Careful about what?" He asked. "Being seen together." I replied. "Yeah, we do." He said. I laid down on the bed and fell asleep with Erik rubbing my back.
