If I only could

Chapter 13

"How can you let her inside your house?" Danny almost shouting at Glen at their studio. He heard from Glen's brother that Jessie was in Glen's room.

"She was drunk?! I let her sleep, what's wrong with that?" Glen said

"Ah, so even she's someone's wi--"

"Come on, stop that now, Danny! She run to me, she cry and tell me that her daughter call your girlfriend 'mummy' instead of her! What do you think she would feel? She felt like she's not welcome in your home at all! It's not my fault now if I was the only one who she can run to" Glen said.

"Hey, you two! Stop the fight!" That's Mark in between trying to stop them.

"I don't care, that's my wife, my business!" He said to Glen.

"Oh Great?! You called her your wife while you let her leave you didn't even let her hold her daughter." Glen said

"Really? Is it my fault that her daughter didn't even know who she is? It's her fault she didn't visit her for half a year." He said while Mark is trying to cool down the tension between them.

"Don't start with me, Danny or you'll regret. I told you that I am just a friend trying to be nice." Glen said and turned his back on him.

"Oh really? A friend? Then later on I'll find out that you have a thing with my wife!" He said.

"Stop now, Daniel!" That's Mark pushing him away from Glen. He saw Glen shook his head.

"Think whatever you want!" He heard Glen.

"Come on, Glen! Just tell me in the face if you like my wife! I'll make her sign the divorce so she can be all yours!" He said.

"Is that what you really think of me, Daniel?!" Glen said facing him. "My God, I don't believe this! How could you?!!" Glen said and shook his head.

"Why not? She's gorgeous and for sure you like her too!" He said.

"Now I regret saying that she deserves you, I realized she doesn't really deserves a husband like you!" Glen said and turn his back on him again.

"Oh C'mon, tell me you're acting like that because you like her!!" He said.

"And what if I am?!!" Glen said which made him stop. "I told you don't start with me, or you'll regret!" Glen said once again turn his back on him.

He stop and turn his back on them, If Jessie will find a man after the guy she was dating, it shouldn't be his mate! It shouldn't be Glen!

He let out a deep sighed and focus on the guitar.

"I'm not doing anything. If you are thinking that I will like her, yes maybe there's a chance. But I am not that person, man. I'm not a traitor to a friend. I am just there with your wife , she needs comfort. She needs comfort zone that her husband can't do it for her." He heard Glen after a few seconds of silence. He look back and Glen is busy fixing his drums. He saw Mark looking at him. Glen turned around.

"If you can't be the husband she married, and be the husband can't fill your own promises the day you tie the knot with her then let her be a mother to your child. She made a mistake, yes but you have no right to take her daughter away from her. After all she's still the mother of the kid, A mother who carried her child inside of her for 9 months, A mother who endured the pain for that long!" Glen said. "You don't know the feeling that your daughter call someone's her mother than her own mother." Glen said and went back on fixing his drums. "Put yourself in her shoes. Some one call your daughter a Dad instead of you."

"She's currently at your house in Galway if you are wondering where she is. Your wife is still hoping you could bring you child there before she even leave this country." Glen said and he sat on the couch not facing them. "It's not too late to forgive, mate." Glen said and he shook his head.

He can give her a second chance but not to be his wife , he'll give her a second chance to be a mother for their daughter.

He heard a bottle fell off and soon the glass broke in to pieces.

He close the door behind and put her daughter in her crib and let her play.

He walk to the dining room and there he saw his wife sitting on the floor with her back on the wall.

There's a lot of bottles everywhere. She seems too much drunk.

He carry her in his arms and walk to their room upstairs. As he put her down to their bed, he went back down to the dining to clean the mess.

He can't understand why she's getting drunk, he don't even know why she broke up with her boyfriend. He groaned as he felt the glass on his hand. Soon he saw the blood.

After cleaning the mess, he saw his daughter laying down on the crib feeding herself from her bottle of milk.

He went back upstairs and see his wife sleeping on the floor.

"How did you get there?!" He said shooking his head. He carry her to put her back on their bed. "Look at yourself! Is that what you want to be?!" He said and shook his head.

"If you just stayed with us you won't be like this." He said and get out of the room to look after his daughter.

At somehow he feel sorry that he can't bring her wife back. Yes, he know he can still but is he allow to say that it's too late?

It's too late because he's loving someone else? Ugh!

-

He woke up and see that it's late now. He fell asleep for too long. When he look at the crib her daughter is no where to be seen.

He walk to the dining, no one's around. He walk up the stairs. Before he even reach the door he can hear the baby's crying.

"It's Mummy. Why don't you like me?!" He heard his wife. He gently push the door and saw Jessie sitting on the floor not that far while trying to hold their daughter who's standing at the corner of the room.

"What are you doing!" He said and as soon as his daughter see him , she run to his arms. He saw disappointment in her face. She get up and sat on the bed looking at their daughter.

"She didn't know me." She said. He knew that she is sober now, her hair is still wet he bet she just came out from the shower.

"It's not my fault." He said comforting his daughter. Jessie look away. "Did you just came back because he dumped you? Oh poor you are!" He said
