"Do you know how many questions you would've asked that I wouldn't have answers for ?"
I didn't want to have you wishing to see him when I knew he wasn't coming back around again.At least not for me .Jordan comes from a pretty decent size family and I just didn't know how to tell you in case you ran into a cousin or something "
"Well I go to school with someone who looks just like him so I'm guessing it's about to come up big time. We need to be prepared in case he shows up and starts asking questions" He said softly.
"Marc baby listen I don't know if he will.He doesn't know about you.Besides he's married to someone else now or so I heard."Jordyn murmured.
"If he's around here I want to meet him. I want to know why he left us to struggle all those years!" He said with anger in his voice
"Marc listen just go hang out with Brandon and go hang out for the night.I gotta go review that thing anyway."
"Are you sure? I can go with you. It might make you feel better" he asked
"Not your kind of music it's for old people " Jordyn joked smiling at her son.
Marc arched a brow "Really ?"
"Don't you dare make fun of your mother Marcel "Jordyn warned
Raising his hands up in surrender as he tried not to laugh "I would never "
When Jordyn looked at Marc he was smirking .
She pointed to the door "Get out .Go meet up with Brandon so I can get ready to get the hell out of here myself."
Marc leaned over planted a kiss on her cheek as he walked to the door. "Sorry mom."
As soon as Marc was out the door Jordyn's emotions broke as tears streamed down her face.Her mind racing.
I can't do this. I really can't do this
Her phone buzzed with a reminder of the show.
"Fuck it"she mumbled walking to the bedroom to pull out the new suit she was going to wear.
After ensuring her hair and make-up were expertly finished she slipped on the suit and heels,spritzing on her favorite scent Jordyn walked through the living room ,grabbed her keys . Once locking up the house Jordyn climbed into the car on shaky legs , started it, pulling it out onto the street navigating her way through the city streets. Turning onto the highway she flipped on the radio as Jordan's voice flowed through the silence of the empty car.
You can do this he ain't no one special. Don't let him intimidate you You knew him when his voice was changing , when he sounded like fucking mickey mouse one minute and helium being let out a balloon the next.
Jordyn repeated her mantra over and over until she reached the street for the theater.The large black and silver tour bus came into view as Jordyn rounded the corner into the press parking lot.Gripping the steering wheel Jordyn stopped when the guard directed to , digging into her bag for the press pass.
"Go ahead Ms Cooper but I must warn you Mr.Knight has declined interviews for tonight" the middle aged burly guard told her.
Once pulling into the spot the guard indicated Jordyn let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding.Looking in the visor's mirror Jordyn repeated her mantra once again.
You can do this.Fuck Jordan Knight he left you and your son remember ?
Walking across the parking lot Jordyn entered the small coffee shop as she looked at her watch.She had at least ten minutes before press was allowed in.She had time for some caffeine.
With her head held high and a confidence she didn't feel Jordyn ordered a coffee. As she sat sipping her coffee it felt like someone was watching, looking around Jordyn saw nothing .Picking up her cup Jordyn exited the small shop just as her phone buzzed
Darknight Hey coop you here ?
Coop0723 Yup
Darknight Inside the theater ?
Coop0723 No the coffee shop across the parking lot
Jordan scanned the parking lot from the back door of the theater .His eyes widened when he saw her .
No way It couldn't be ... could it ?
Darknight What are you wearing?
Coop0723 Light blue suit with a sapphire scarf
Darknight I think I just seen you
Jordan swallowed the lump in his throat ,hard
It was her
Jordan felt his heart beat as if it was beating right out of his chest
Coop0723 Where are you exactly ?
Jordan knew better than to respond to that
Did she know it was him?
