Adopted by Vic Fuentes

Chapter Twenty Eight (Jackson's POV)

I can't handle this. First I find the love of my life who lives across the country from me, then my mum who gave me away suddenly wants to be apart of my life again, and now that same love has cancer. I don't what to do anymore. It's like my heart and soul have been ripped out of my body and now it's just an empty void that I'm forced to handle and I don't think I can do it anymore.

After I got Alex from the airport, we drove to the Fuentes' house. Vic had given me a temporary key to use while I stay with them. The entire drive was silent. Neither of us spoke and the radio was turned off. I felt as if you could cut the tension with a jackhammer. Once we arrived at the Fuentes' home, I got out and walked into the house.

"Vic said you can stay in the guest room," I said standing at the bottom of the staircase. "There is another guest room upstairs by me and one down the hall from Vic and Danielle. Your pick." I said softly. Alex sighed softly and walked up the stairs to the guest room. I followed him, leaning against his doorway.

"Jackson, I know you don't want to talk about it, but it's something that we have to talk about. We are meeting you mother tomorrow and we have to talk about what you think about all this and what you want to do. You have to tell me what's gonna happen and your plan for what you are going to say when she throws questions at you," He explained. I nodded and looked down at the ground. "Come on. Sit down." He said sitting on the edge of the bed.

"This is just too much at once for me. First I find Faith and grow so close to her then the big fantasy relationship gets a curveball when the tour ends and I realize she lives across the country from me. Next, her brother almost dies on my first night here. Next, my mum calls and wants to be apart of my life, which makes no sense whatsoever to me seeing that she is the one that left me. And finally, my girlfriend gets cancer and has a possibility of dying. Alex how would you fucking feel if this happened to you? Huh? Cause right now I just can't handle it. It's too much," I ranted angrily to him. I rubbed my face and sighed, trying not to cry. I felt Alex place a hand on my back.

"Stop holding all this in, Jackson. Before I even start, you will not disrespect me by calling me by my first name! Do you understand me? I worked so hard to adopt you. I will not tolerate that," He said. I took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright. Now listen. I worked hard to adopt you because I felt a connection between us. I love you, kid. I really do. Otherwise all the things we worked hard for was for nothing. I care so much about you and it really does hurt me to see you like this. I will not let her take you from me. I get that she is your blood mother, but I am more of a parent to than she is. As for Jace, you care for him so much and look at him. He's okay and well. The distance thing? You see that I flew you out here to live with them until tour starts. Problem fixed. As for Faith...."

"Dad please...." I started. He looked at me with a firm look.

"She is going to get better. They found the cancer early and they will work extra hard to make sure she gets better. And knowing her, she's not going to give up or stop fighting. She's strong. All she needs right now is her family, friends that are close to her, the support of her fans, and you. Vic tells me all the time about you two and I'm so happy that I told him to losen up and give you a chance. It will get better. Okay?" Tears flowed from my face as he spoke. I leaned over and gave him a bear hug, letting out all my pain in tears. After a few moments I pulled back and wiped my face.

"I'm sorry...for everything. I didn't mean it. I'm just so angry and stressed out," I said looking back at him.

"I get it. Now let's go see Faith. I know she wants to see you today," He said standing up. I nodded and stood up as well. I gave Alex another hug before walking to the bathroom and making sure I looked presentable. We soon left and headed to the hospital. I walked into Faith's room and gave her a soft smile. She was laying in her bed, talking to Danielle. I walked over to her and helped her sit up.

"Look at you. This looks good on you," I said running my fingers over her head. She looked up at me smiling widely.

"You really think so?" She asked. I sat beside her and held her hand.

"It really does. Why would I lie?" I said smiling back.

"Oh you two are too cute! Stop it," Danielle squealed. Faith and I laughed softly. "Oh! Faith did you tell him what happened earlier?" She asked. I turned to Faith and raised an eyebrow.

"I called her mom..." She said softly biting her lip. I smiled and hugged her gently before standing up.

"Congrats Danielle," I started, "And congrats on having a mom." I said to Faith. "I'll be back in a bit. I'm going to go check on Jace. It's getting late and I know he has to be home soon." Danielle nodded.

"You are very right. Thank you," she said. I kissed Faith's cheek before turning and walking out. Alex passed me on his way into the room. I walked down the hall to the children's wing to find Jace.
