Chapter 8: Jackie's Reveal part 2

Jackie's P.O.V

Marco starts to cry. I cried even harder. I cup Marco's cheeks wiping away his tears.

"Marco, it's a lot to handle I know. But I need for you to be strong. But you have to help me understand what's bothering you."

He hesitates to answer struggling to answer. "It's not you Jackie. It's not Star either. It's me."

"I don't get it. Aren't you happy with Star?"

"I love her so much Jackie, but I still can't get over the fact that you kept this from me. I feel like you didn't want me to find out about it."

"It's just, you haven't even been around me. 4 years Marco. Never have you called me to ask about my summer. You missed out on so much here. Ferguson and Alfonzo forgot about you to hang with other friends. They don't even talk about you anymore."

"Wow, I feel like a horrible person."

"Yeah. And I'm glad that you're happy with Star, but you can't get mad at yourself. We all make mistakes Marco."

"How can you take in all this so calmly?"

"You can't loose your cool Marco. It's not worth it. Sometimes you just need to breathe and remember that things can be forgiven and forgotten."

"Thanks. You're the best."

We actually hugged for the first time in 4 years. Just like old times.

"So about the baby. I need to get a hold of Tom as quick as possible."

"Ok tomorrow we can use Star's bell to summon Tom and get answers."

"Ok but I want you to come with me ok?"

"Why?"

"Because I'm afraid he'll get mad. He doesn't even know and he'll think I was with someone else."

"Ok I'll go. Come on let's get some sleep."

I get up from the couch, turn off the TV and go upstairs. I slept in the guest room while Marco went to his room.

I close my eyes and turn off the light. "I just really hope he'll be easy on me."

Sorry for the short chapter it's just a continuation of the last chapter. Thanks for reading my story!
