Can you keep a secret? (Justin Fanfic)

Chapter fourteen. Explaination

I had just confessed to Jessciah that Noah was my son, well I had to as she would have guess after Noah called me daddy infront of her.

"That explains alot." she said and looked down at her feet.

I sighed. "Im sorry I didn't tell you it's just that I didn't want anyone to know." I confessed and looked up at her.

She nodded. "I guess I understand. I wouldn't want anyone to know if I had a kid. Well, I wont want anyone to know..." she said and put her hand on her stomach.

"I can help you with everything. I've been through this before... with Noahs mum so I know what to do." I told her and she frowned.

"What happened to his mum? Is she still around?" she asked.

I shook my head. "I haven't seen her for three years. I've raised Noah by myself." I told her and bit my lip.

She looked up at me. "Is it hard? You know, to raise a child by yourself?" she asked me.

I shrugged. "Well i'm not going to lie. It is really hard but I wasn't alone, I had my mum." I said and she looked away from me again.

She wiped away tears with her hand. "Well, I have no choice but to do it alone." she said and covered her face with her hands.

"No, you don't have to. You've got me." I said and smiled.

She half smiled and looked up. "Really? Why would you want to help me?" she asked.

"Because if it wasn't for me that day on the abortion center we wouldn't be here right now and you wouldn't even have to worry about raising a child." I told her and she started crying even more.

I leaned closer and pulled her into my arms so she could cry onto my shoulder. "Everything Is going to be okay. My life turned out okay.. well so far." I whispered.

Mum came around the corner with Noah and when she saw us she froze. "Who's this?" she asked and placed Noah down.

Jessicah pulled away from me and I turned to face mum. "She's my friend. Her name is Jessicah and we are having a private conversation." I told mum and crossed my arms.

She rolled her eyes. "If it was so private you wouldn't be standing in the doorway." she said.

I sighed. "Fine, we'll go up to my room." I said and grabbed Jessicahs hand and pulled her up to my room.

As I shut the door Jessicah walked over to my bedside table and picked up a photo of me and Noah. I went over and stood beside her.

"This photo was taken on his first birthday." I told her and she smiled.

"This is why you were at the abortion center wasn't it?" she asked.

I nodded. "It's not just because I think they are wrong it's because is Noahs mother had gone through with hers I wouldn't have Noah and as much of a pain he can be I love him." I admitted.

She placed the photo down and turned to face me. "Thankyou Justin."

I smiled and nodded. "We will go through this together and one day you will find a guy that your kid can call daddy."

She looked down. "I wish he was still here.", she whispered.

I took her hand and sat down on the edge of the bed and she followed. "Where is he?", I asked.

She just shook her head. "Gone."

I bit my lip. "What do you mean gone?" I asked, regretting asking straight away.

"Dead...",she said before crying again.

I wish I hadn't asked. I put my arms around her and waited until she was alright to talk.
