UNEXPECTED ✰ COLIFER

Chapter 24 ✰ Feelings Shared

Jen's pov

He never walked away when we argue. He never ran away from me at all. Colin was such an easy person to deal with that there was actually no reason to argue. This time it was different. This time I had hurt him and I knew that I was the one who was wrong.

My parents were the first to enter my room after Colin had walked away. They hugged and congratulated me before they went to see Mason.

'Where is Colin?' My dad asked as he hovered above Mason's cradle.

'We had an argue.'

'So he left you again?' My mom sneered

I rolled my eyes irritated. 'He's been here all this time, but I hurt him. Then he left.'

My dad took my hand to calm me down a bit. 'Your mother and I are going to get some coffee and see if we can find him downstairs. Knowing Colin he will not be that far away from you'

I nodded gratefully. 'Thanks, Dad. I would really appreciate that.'

They were just out of my room when Jack came in again.

'Jack... you better not be here'

'I know, I know. I just wanted to say that I'm there for you if you need someone'

I smiled. 'Thanks. You are a sweetheart'

'Do I hear anything from you soon?'

I nodded. Before he left, he pressed a kiss to my forehead.

Colin turned out not to be in the restaurant and I started to worry more and more. It was nothing like him to walk away. At the end of the day we picked up Ivy and my parents brought me home.

I opened the front door and expected him to be in the living room. To my surprise, he was not there.

'Colin?'

Ivy looked at me quizzically. 'Where is he?'

'Maybe he is upstairs'

She ran to the stairs and made a move to climb up, but she seemed to realize that she is not allowed to do so alone. 'Daddy!' She screamed loudly. She repeated it a few times but there was no response.

'He will be here soon darling' I said before I grabbed my phone. I looked at the screen and saw that Jack was calling.

'Why do you call?'

'Also nice to hear your voice, Jennifer'

'Jack, please...'

'I just want to know how you're doing princess'

I smiled. 'It goes pretty well. I just got home'

'I'm glad to hear. How is your man you doing?'

My heart skipped a beat. 'Colin?'

There was a loud laugh. 'No, your son, of course'

I looked at Mason, who was deeply asleep and a smile appeared on my face. 'He is doing fine'

'Good. When do I see you again?'

'I don't know Jack. I really have to go now. I'll call you' Before he could respond, I ended the call.

I turned on my heel and looked straight into Colin's face. Ivy clung around his neck and avoided my eyes.

'Did you go upstairs?' I asked angrily

She nodded with tears in her eyes.

'Ivy! That's dangerous!'

Tears rolled down her cheeks. 'But daddy was... I... don't be angry with me!'
