Chapter 24

*Erika's POV*

"John?" Jack's mum gasped.

"Dad?" Zack gasped.

"What?!" I gasped.

Jack turned to Zach "Zach? Mum? Erika?" He asked "what are you doing here early in the morning?" He turned to face Zach.

"Dad?!" Zach looked at the guy which is known as his dad "what are you doing in here?"

"Wait wait wait.. If that's Zach's dad, that mean that's Jack's dad too and that means you're John...Jack's real dad..." I stated and looked around the room. "And that mean you're Mrs John. Zach's real mum"

"Mum... What is she talking about?" Jack asked while scratching his head.

Mr John dragged Zach out of the room while I was left in the room with Mrs John and Jack.

"Jack..that man that just came in here was your real dad" Mrs John explained.

The door burst open, revealing Zach, and Mr John following behind him.

"C'mon Erika..let's go" Zach dragged my hand.

"Zachary! Stop it! We're leaving this country!" Mr John shouted at Zach,blocking the way out.

"I'm not leaving without Erika!" He shouted back "not without my mom and my own brother!"

"Zachary Jonathan, get in the car right now!" He shouted and grabbed Zach's hand.

"No!" He rejected.

"John..you don't have to do this.." Mrs John calmed him.

"We agreed not to meet anymore..not a day! Now look what have you done! You've ruined my family" Mr John pulled Zach's hand and left the room.

I looked at Mrs.John. Her eyes was filled with tears and Jack was hugging her,giving her comfort.

"C'mon..let's go home" Jack suggested.

We walked to the car and Mrs John drove us home. The whole car ride was filled with silence and sobbing.

When we reached home I stood still "I'm sorry..I didn't know he was going to be there...I'm really sorry" I hugged Mrs John and looked at Jack.

"Just go home Erika" Jack said.

I walked home and locked the door straight away and lied down on the couch.

"Arghhhhh!!" I screamed and covered my face with my palm "what have I done?!"

"Zach's leaving New York. I hurt Jack's family. I ruined everything" I searched for my phone and dialed Jane's number.

"Hey gurl" she answered.

"I need your help"

"Sure..wanna meet?"

"My house now!" I ended the call.

About 15 or so minutes, a knock on the door appears.

I opened it and peeked out from it. "It will be quick" Jack said pushing the door open and dragged me to the couch, leaving the door ajar.

He sat right next to me and took one of my hand. "Erika I Umm......" he stopped as he watched me moved an inch away from him.

"You what?" I repeated him, trying to break the silence.

He starred at me and stayed silence. "You can trust me...I promise" he moved in closer.

"Just say what you want" I gapped.
