chaper twenty four

once i finished the note for jack, tears with falling down my cheek. i didn't want to do this to him. i lay the note on top of his phone, i grab my phone and slightly kiss his cheek. he starts to move a little, i quickly rush out his room. i go down the stairs, once i do i bump into Mrs. Gilinsky. "oh honey whats wrong?" she said. "i don't want to leave him but i have to. tell him i love him, and ill never stop." i said. hugging her for the last time felt like saying goodbye forever.

i walk out the house and ran home. once i got there i went to my room and packed everything i need. i grab my purse and keys and left. i didnt have time to fix my self or book a flight. all i did was put jacks white t-shirt. i also took his sweater he gave me a while back.

i get to the airpot and parked my car. once i got to the main table i ordered my ticket. "sweetie you better not be running from your problems" the lady said, she looked around her 60's. "im telling myself im not." i said letting a tear slide down my cheek. the lady pouts and walks around the desk and hugs me.

"pretty girls don't cry." she said. "when you come back, make sure to stop by here." she said. i nodded, and said bye.

after two hours, my flight was called so i got up and walked to it. it was currently, 6:30. jack and i usually wake up around 5. i hear someone yelling my name, i turn around to see jack. i shake my head and started to cry. "please jack let me go through this." i said. "i cant let you leave me." he said crying. "jack don't." i said. "if your leaving, im going with you." he said holding onto my hands. "how jack?" i said. "i booked my flight. we're leaving right now." he said.

we start walking and i look at jack. his eyes are red and puffy. "you cried?" i said. "how can i not? the love of my life was going to leave me. i told you, i care way to much to let you just leave." he said.

at the moment were on the plane about to land. the whole time jack and i talked. he told me how when he called kian, he cried and blamed it on himself. i wish he didn't, bc its not.

once we landed, we didn't know what to do bc we didn't plan on doing this together. jack said we could rent a car for the week, which is until Saturday.

"what hotel?" i said. "any hotel is fine" he said. i get this nice hotel which was cheap for five days. jack ordered us a uber to get to the rental place.

jack paid the man and we left, and walked in. jack paid for the car, which was pretty cheap. since i paid for the hotel, jack got in the driver seat whilst i sat in the passenger seat. 

i told jack once we got settled at the hotel we go to my dads grave. we got the keys to the room, we got into the elevator. "what about your family here?" he asked. "yeah but mainly my dads side, some of my moms but i dont think my dads side want to see me." i shrugged. "don't say that" he said. "it's true." i said.

once the elevator stopped we walked to our room. jack opened it and we both gasped. "woah" i said. "the pictures looked so different!" i said. "damn babe you have good taste." he chuckled.

it had one bed, a living room, kitchen, and balcony almost like an apartment.

i jumped on the bed and laid down. jack laid next to me and hugged me. "its gonna be okay" he smiled. i nodded and kissed his cheek.

i got dressed quickly, so did jack. we left the room and went to the car. i told jack where it was, good thing i remembered it. once jack parked my heart drops. looking at this place makes me want to cry so much.

i gave jack my phone before i dropped it. i slowly walked to his grave. i look down at the grave to see newly fresh flowers. someone has been putting flowers. i look down, "Robert Lawley"

i start crying, "hey dad, its your daughter jenn. its been a while, i know i should be coming here more then once a month. but we moved to California. we i mean mom, kian and i and baby lawley on the way. yes a baby, your baby. your child. you have no clue how much i miss you. seriously, i don't wanna live in this world without you. i want to stay here and be with the people, but the main person i want here is you. but knowing you okay and safe up there im fine. your little girl misses you." i wipe the tear that was about slide then i look at jack who was slightly crying.

"dad, this is jack. my boyfriend. sadly you aren't here to threaten him if he hurt me." i chuckle. "if you met jack you'd want me to marry him. just like when jacob from the 8th grade, you told he was going to be the one. but thats when you found out he cheated on me." i said. i turn to look at jack, he had a confused face.

"jack is probably wondering the same thing im thinking. i told everyone i never dated anyone bc i felt embarrassed that he cheated. dad of course you know that, but i found someone i truly love. sure he's hurt me but no relationship is perfect, right? i remembered you telling me that. if i do end up marrying jack, i want to know you'll be there." i said crying.

"i guess this is goodbye for now, dad. i love you." i said. jack handed me the flowers we bought, i laid them down on top of the grave. jack helps me up and hugs tightly.

with the corner of my eye i see someone coming towards us. "um what are you doing at my dad's grave?" she asked. "excuse me? this is my dad's grave." i said.

"it says "Robert Lawley" she said. i looked at her and my mouth dropped.
