16 Years Late

Daniels pov

I would do anything and everything for zach. I told him hus dad was dead because I didnt want him to go through the pain of knowing his own father didnt care enough to stay around long enough to even make it to zachs first birthday. Once zach shkwed me the messages it was infact his fathers name as the username Jonah marais I told zach to not talk to the account anymore and zach usually listens to me so hopefully he'll listen to me about this. I know i should tell ny baby boy more about his dad but I dont know how he'll take it. Everynight before bed I tell zach a story about jonah and not all are false. I keep a bix in the highest shelf in my dresser where I know zach cant reach and i havent found him trying yet either but it contains pictures of Jonah and jonah and zach and or Jonah zach and me it has jonahs old baseball jersey that he gave me when we were still dating I acually thought he loved me back then nkw i know hes nothing but a big lie. The box also contains a few more things of jonahs like jewlery and my wedding band ECT. Zach was a goid kid mkst of the time i dont really like my little boy swearing but he has on a few occasions but it's not enough to become a problem zach is a really good drawer when he was little we bonded by art we would draw for hours and paint together he also plays the guitar like jonah did and hes really good at it. I love zach so much but I feel time went to fast I mean my babys gonna be 16. My baby is really sweet but also very shy but zach is so special. For the past year or two or acually I think its been three years Jonah has been begging me if he can come see zach the answer is always no though he blows up mt phone at least twice a week every week. He tells me to tell zach he loves him but I never do well no I take that back I tell zach his dad loved him at one point as far as zachary knows his father is dead and I wanna keep it that way I dont want Jonah to walk put on zach once they get close it would break my heart to see that happen again. Im currently laying in my bed at 2am texting the man im still not over I give in and decide to facetime him so he'll leave me alone.
