16- Jake

Samantha's POV

"Samantha, come on, ring the doorbell". Grayson tells me. I stood frozen. He sighed and rings it himself.

We stood there for a good minute when the door was finally opened. Revealing a skinny blonde man. I imediately know who it was.

Jack Johnson. "Grayson? Grayson Dolan? Is that you?". He asks. Grayson nodded and they do a fist bump.

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other!". Jack j smiles. He then looks at me. His expression didn't change.

"Hey Sam, it's been a while too". He smiled almost nervously. He was the love of my life's bestfriend.

"Can we come inside? We need to talk to glinsky". Grayson asked. Johnson nods and moves to the side so we can enter.

"Glinsky is in the back yard, we were going to have a barbeque. Just the both of us. If you want you guys stay longer to eat.". He suggested.

Grayson looks at me and I shrugged. "sure". He says. Johnson smiles. "J, I need to talk to glinsky first". I say.

He looks at me. "Of course, go ahead. Me and Grayson will be in here catching up". He says pointing at the slide doors.

I look at Grayson and he nods. "If you need anything I'll be right here babe". He says. I slowly make my way to the backyard.

I walk out and look around. And there, I spotted him. A shirtless man flipping Patties on the grill. I walk towards him.

"Um, jack, we need to talk". I said nervously. He turns around to looked at me. He looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Samantha? Oh shit, sit, sit down". He says nervously sitting on a bench. I sit next to him.

"Uh, um, what's up?". He asked. "G, this is about our kid". I say quietly. He frowns. "Oh, uh, I thought you had an abortion". He says rubbing the back of his head.

"I would never jack, I was capable of raising him on my own". I say. "Was?". He asked. I mentally prepare for what I was about to say.

"G, our son was murdered a year ago". I say with tears in my eyes. His eyes start to water. "What?!". He asked.

"By who? Fuck!". He says getting up and walking around angrily. He kneels down in front of me and kissed my hands.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for the both of you, I really wanted it to work out. I wanted the three of us to have a happy life. Everyday I wake up and always regret it. I'm sorry I left. I let both you and my son down!". He cried.

He cried on my legs as i looked at the sky sniffeling. "It's too late glinsky, the damage has been done". I say.

"I'm so sorry! I love you so much Samantha. If only I stayed with you and our baby!". He cried more.

I bite my lip and hand brushed his hair. "What was our baby's name?". He asked quietly. "His name was Jake". I say.

He looks up at me. "That's the name I wanted to name our boy when we were younger". He says smiling slightly.

"I know". I whispered to him. "What was he like?" He asked. "Well, he had your eyes, they were beautiful". I smiled, picturing my precious son.

"I bet he had your nose". He smiled. "He did, and don't get me started on the soft long hair just like his daddy". I responded.

"Why didn't you tell me about him sooner?". He asked. "Because, I had no contact with you, you left and I had to move on". I sighed.

"I'm a sorry, I wasn't ready, I was scared. When we got engaged, I thought I was ready. But I wasn't". He sighed.

"I just want you to know I never stopped loving you, I'm sorry I didn't look for you, we could've started over. The three of us". He says.

"It's too late now. You were the love of my life glinsky. I wanted your last name so bad. But when you left me with our baby. I realized the kind of person you were. I moved on with him". I said.

"Did he bring me up?". He asked looking at me with teary eyes. "He did, he'd be like. Mommy, do i have a dad? Where is he?". I sighed.

"What would you say?". He asked. "I would tell him you'd be working for a long time. He always wanted to meet you jack. But now that's over". I cried.

"Is he buried?". He asked. "Yes. Next to my mom, she was murdered the same time as our Jake". I cried.

"I loved her, I'm so sorry Sam". He says. "I know, she loved you alot too. When you left, she was devastated". I sighed.

"I want to see their tombstones". He says. "You live an hour away. I don't want to waste your time". I say. "I will always have time, when it comes to you and our boy". He says.

I blush. This was all too real. Thanks to Grayson, I was reunited with my baby's dad. "I'll have to ask my boyfriend". I say.

He looks me and frowns. "oh, well, that doesn't matter". He says. We walk back inside and to the living room.

Grayson and jack Johnson were talking on the sofa. Grayson looks up at me and smiles softly. I smile back a little.

"Grayson, I'm going to show jack G his son". I say. He looks at me then at G. "Are you sure? I can take both of you". He suggested.

"No, this doesn't involve you, stay with Johnson". I smiled slightly. He nods slowly and continued talking to Johnson.

"Are you ready?". Jack G asked. "Are you?". I asked. He shrugged. We walk to his car. And drove off.
