Falling again (sequel to NGLS)

36.)

Bria's POV-
I waited for hours upon hours in the police station. Eventually Jack left which I didn't care about. Nash and Cam stayed with me the whole time. I guess they knew that I wouldn't able to get through this without some sort of help. They were right.

Every twenty minutes I would walk up to Cathy and ask her if they found Theo. Her answered remained the same, "no." Cam and Nash didn't even try and calm me down. They knew how I could get and trying to tell me that "everything will be fine" wasn't going to work. I'm a realist not someone who believes in blind hope.

I sat down in between Cam and Nash. They went back to my house for me and got the camera I had set up. We showed the police the man who took Theo, so everyone knew who they were looking for.

I gave the police the half of the license plate I recalled and the type of car. A dark blue pick up truck, brand was Ford. The moment was on repeat in my mind.

"How are you holding up?" Cam asked. He kept his voice low. I couldn't find myself to answer. I didn't know how I was doing. My mind was in so many places.

After two more hours Cam told me he had to go. "Go home and get some rest." I told him. He hugged me goodbye and then he left. It was just Nash and me now. We had barely spoken two words to each other the ten hours we've been here.

"Im scared." I finally admitted. "Me too." He said. I looked at him and he gave me a look of pity. "Who was that guy?" He asked. Everyone was wondering but no one had the nerve to ask. That's why we had Nash, he usually spoke his mind no matter who he was talking to or about.

"I honestly don't know Nash. According to my sheet he isn't the father." Nash looked stunned. "Than who is Theo's dad?" I tightly shut my eyes. After some time I opened my mouth to speak. "It's Jack." I kept my eyes closed. Maybe if I didn't open them then it would've be real.

"Really? Why haven't you told him?" Nash asked. "Because! He is so happy with Kelly and I didn't want to ruin yet another good thing in his life." Nash understood me. He knew that I was a burden for everyone and I always creat problems.

"He has a right to know." He suddenly sat upright. "I know and I thought that paper was mailed to him but clearly the test was wrong." I couldn't look into his eyes. "He's the dad Bria. If you don't tell him then I will." Nash stood up and stormed off.

I was left to myself. I figured out that Nash walked away to see if I would do the right thing and tell Jack. I pulled my phone out and stared at Jack's contact. My fingers trembled when they went over the call button.

I pressed it and quickly put the phone to my ear . It rang and rang. Part of me just wanted it to keep ringing. I didn't want to tell Jack. The other part of me wanted him to answer. I wanted to hear his voice and his tone when he found out.

"Hello?" He said. His voice went through one ear and out of the other. I gulped. "C-can you meet me at the police station, it's urgent." I managed to say. The line was quiet and I heard whispering. "Ok, but I can't stay." He said. "I know Jack. I know." I hung up and anxiously waited for him.

He walked in and rushed to my side. "What is it? Did they find Theo?" I stood up and looked him in the eyes. My eyes started to fill up with tears and I tried to blink them away but before I knew it, they were falling down my face.

"Jack, you're Theo's biological father." I cried. Jack's eyes grew wide and his mouth was slightly ajar. "Please say something, anything!" I continued crying.

"How could you keep this from me?" I saw him tighten his fists. "I found out about four months ago. I-m so sorry." I whispered the last part. I continued looking into his eyes to try and read him but he wouldn't look at me.
