Fall

Chapter 19

1 year later

Evelynns POV:

"Happy birthday to youu."

We all sang and clapped.

I was turning 25 today. I feel so old.

"Happy birthday, babe." Harry whispered in my ear and then kissed me.

"Thank you." I whispered.

Just the. There was a knock at he door and I went over to open it.

When I did I almost fell to the ground.

"Jack?" I breathed.

"Yeah." He nodded and shrugged.

Jack was my childhood best friend untill he got into a car crash and slipped into a coma for two years and I haven't seen him since.

I didn't hesitate to wrap my arms around him.

"I missed you." I mumbled.

"I missed you too." He said and sighed as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

Harry cleared his throat from behind us.

We let go of eachother.

"Oh um, Harry this is Jack, Jack this is Harry."

"Nice to meet you. I'm her husband." Harry glared at him.

He shook his hand and Jack looked like he was going to burst out laughing.

"How about cake!" I suggested trying to break the tension.

**

"Where's Harry?" I asked Jack.

"He said he was going to bed." He shrugged.

"Ok. Wanna watch TV?" I asked.

"Sure." We walked over to the couch and sat down as he turned not the office.

Not even half way through the show my eyes were getting heavy.

I was half asleep when I feel someone pick me up and take me to my bed.

"Jack.." I whined.

He laughed lightly."What?"

"Stay." I said pulling on his shirt.

"Sure. But where?" He asked.

"Here." I said and patted the side next to me because Harry was sleeping in the guest room.

He walked over there and was on the other side if the bed,

"Goodnight." I mumble.

"Goodnight." He says back.

**

When I wake up I am cuddled up with Jack.

I try to get out but he has a grip around my waist.

I get out successfully after what seems like forever.

"Morning babe." I say and smile at Harry.

"Morning." He says flatly.

"What?"

I ask

"You slept with Jack?"

"Uh, no. Who told you that." I say and cross my arms then huff.

"Just because you guys were like cuddling up together!" He yells.

Just then Emily wobbles in.

"Hi sweetie." I say and pick her up.

"What's wrong with dad?" She asks and tilts her head to look at Harry.

"He's in a bad mood, let's not bother him."

"Do you want to go wake up Jack?"

She nods her head quickly.

I run to the bedroom with her in my hands.

"Wake up!" She yells in her sweet voice.

"Yeah. Wake up!" I yell.

He groans and covers his face with the pillow.

I jump on top of him and tickle him but it didn't work.

He surprised me by flipping me over and he started ticking me.

"S-stop." I yell.

He stops and sighs.

"I missed you. I really did."

"Mommy! I'm hungry." Emily yelled and walked out of the room.

"I missed you too." I said and wrapped him in a hug.

He hugged back.

"I'm leaving today."

"Back to Orange County?" I said and pouted.

"No, to Florida." He sighs.

"What! No.Please I just got you back in not loosing you again."

"Please stay." I whined.

I was on the verge of tears until I started sobbing.

"Please." I sobbed.

He just grabbed onto me and held me until I calmed down, and that took at least an hour.

"Please stay, Jack." I said, my voice hoarse from crying.

"Ok, I will." He promised.

I smiled and hugged him more.

"What is this!" Harry yells.

"What?" I ask

"This! You cuddling with, Jack."

"He's comforting me." I huffed.

**

"Let me explain please." I was crying for the second time today.

"No, Evelynn. I just need a little break."

"We have a family, Harry!" I sobbed and dropped to my knees.

He rushes over to me and tears stream down his face.

"I'm sorry! He's gone now. He's just a friend ok."

"Please stop crying. It hurts me more to see you crying."

I wipe my tears and sniffle.

I pull him into a kiss and he obliges.

"I'm so sorry." I mumble against his lips.

"Me too. I should have been a better husband. I'm sorry, Evelynn"

I pull him into a hug and he is still crying.

"Your not a bad husband." I say and wipe his tears.

"I never to anything right and I always am so over protective."

"I don't care, Harry. I like over protective, and you always do the right thing so don't you dare say that you're a bad husband because your not."

I say.

"I love you, so much. I don't deserve you."

"I love you too, I don't deserve you either." I sigh.

"Let's go get dinner." He suggests.
