*Saras POV*
I pick up my overnight bag off the floor and wipe the tears from my face. Thomas Stanley Holland.
I never had him down as a heart breaker.
How very wrong I was.
*Jacks POV*
“where have you been?” I hear Harry shout as I close the door behind me and push Sam infront.
“I went to find Sam, I thought it was important for him to be home.” I reply, walking into the kitchen and sitting down.
I look to Tom as see that his eyes are red and his cheeks tear strained.
“I’m guessing it was bad new? I’m sorry man…” I begin, but Harry looks up and shakes his head.
“We haven’t heard anything.” He says.
I look around the table and Paddy runs up to me, sitting on my lap. “Paddy… don’t be a pest.” Says Sam, picking him up off me and lifting him up so he rests on his hip.
“Where is Sara?” I ask, turning my attention back to Harry.
“Jack… She’s… Sara’s gone.” Says Harry and Paddy lets out a small cry. I feel my heart sink.
“What? What? Did she… did she get hurt or… did it just happen? How did it happen?” I run my hand through my hair, feeling my heart thumping against my chest.
“No, no I don’t mean she’s dead jack I mean she left.”
“Thank god for that.” I say, letting out a sigh of relief and feeling a weight being lifted off his shoulders. “Wait, why did she leave?”
“She dealed with Toms crap for too long.” He says and Tom lifts his head off the table.
“I didn’t even do anything this time.” He says, sniffing.
“This time.” Snorts Harry.
“Well I’m pretty sure you must have done something.”
Harry nods. “yeah, he did. She realised that he only went out with her because of the whole Tony thing.”
“And you didn’t try to stop her?” I ask Tom.
“I don’t fucking care about whether she stays or doesn’t. She never meant anything to me.” He replies.
“Oh come on, that’s bullshit and you know it.” Chips in Sam.
“it’s not. It’s not. I’ve ruined her life and she’s better off without me.”
“then she must mean something to you. If you care so much about her then she must be important to you. So go on, tell us why you let her leave.”
“I don’t know. But I never want to see her again.”
“what are you talking about, come on man. You love her.”
“Whats love? I mean c’mon, it’s fucking stupid. You either love someone or hate them. It’s stupid. Why do some people have some fucking annoying effect on you that makes you want to be with them so desperately that..that it hurts.”
“I don’t man but you are going to have t suck it up because you love Sara and I’m not going to let you throw that away. Come on.” I say, reaching over and tapping him before standing up.
“Where are you going?” asks Tom.
“Where are we going?” I correct.
“I’m not going anyway. I need to stay here because of Katy.”
