Jack
"What the hell is taking so damn long?"
"Brother relax." JJ had paid me a visit when she heard I was locked up in here. She even came with her baby and as much as I want to fond over my niece I couldn't. Not when she was out there. And not hearing from her or anything from her made me anxious and furious at the same time. I did however found out that, that bastard Ryan had played my sister for a fool and if I wasn't locked up in here I would have castrated him. But JJ had reassure me Jordan had taken care of him. I smiled knowing Jordan can at least handle situations like that. That's my girl I thought.
"Sir, Gerad will protect her." Brad assured.
"Brad find them and aid Gerad." I ordered waiting for Brad to follow through.
"Mr. Saunders..." Finally my lawyer appeared.
"Tell me you have good news." Once again I was placed in a room where I can discuss more options this time JJ was with me. The reason why I'm still in here it is because I stuck with my story. No way in hell would I change anything now. And Deleon being the jack ass he is, is trying to find ways to keep me here.
When JJ had paid me a visit days ago, she wanted to know what had happened. I didn't tell her much only that Lily was the cause of our parents death. She was angry just as I was and wanted nothing more than to bring her back from the dead and kill her a thousand times.
"I was able to put in a request for your bail."
"Only now! That was suppose to happened days ago!" I shook with fury frustratingly running my fingers through my hair.
"Calm down Jack."
"No JJ, she's out there!"
"JR is fine. She is a strong girl and smart." I wish I could believe her but ever since her injured leg I have never seen her run before and when the need to come, can she even run to safety. JJ looked away from me seeming to hide something.
"What is it JJ?"
"Nothing just focus on getting out of here." She grinned.
"JJ I don't like it when you are not being truthful now tell me." I gave her one of those don't mess with me look.
"Um...you do know JR is all over the news. Well her friends heard and they had told me some shocking news about JR." Her eyes casts downward.
"What news? This better be news that could help Jordan out."
"I don't know if I should say..."
"God damn it JJ just tell me!" My patience was wearing thin.
"She's pregnant."
My eyes grew wide that day. Was I happy, sad, angry. Hell yeah I was happy. I was going to be a father but shit..."She's pregnant and...how many months?"
"Three months, I think." Three fucking months and she didn't tell me. I left her out there to fend for herself. She was pregnant when she was still with me and I just left her. Guilt and regret ate at me. Also anger. I was more angry at myself. How could I not notice. She was always having mood swings. And she had become very clingy and needy. And when I accused her of being sick, fucking hell. Her appetite had increase too and I was busy trying to find away to punish Lily when my pregnant girlfriend was finding a way to tell me.
"Jack come home soon I have some news." I remember that day but I was too busy trying to catch Lily in a lie that I came home late that day.
"Next time Jack. When the time is right I will tell you."
"Jack please don't go, I need you." Her voice rang through my head.
"I was seeing her..."
"Three months." And to think I was with another while I should have been at home catering to her granted I never laid hands on Lily but to think she thought that way had tore me apart.
"What is wrong with you? Are you sick? Is that why you went to the hospital?" Fuck!
"I was thinking don't you think it is time to end this other business of yours."
And she is fucking out there pregnant with my child.
Turning to my lawyer, "I guess congrats is an..."
"Cut the crap, I don't care who you have to pay just get me the hell out of here!" This time I will get out of here by the end of today.
"JJ, get me Gerad on the phone." Doing as I say I listened to the phone ring but he didn't answer.
I had told him to answer my calls when I call and he wasn't answering. Damn it all to hell. I leaned back against my chair.
"I'm sure they are fine. Gerad is fine and JR is fine."
Is it wrong of me that I wanted to beat my sister half to death. How the hell can she be fine if I don't even know if she is fine.
After my attorney had made a few phone calls, "Mr. Saunders they have approve your bail and once the paper work is done you will be release."
"And how long will that take?"
"Just a couple of hours."
A couple of hours. I don't have a couple of hours. "Finish it in one hour." One hour should be good right.
"Of course Mr. Saunders I'll try."
"Don't try just do and JJ kept trying to get a hold of Gerad."
"Yes brother."
Back in my cell I waited patiently well try to wait patiently. I was cooped up with a few other men who sat across the room trying not to get on my bad side. They knew who I was and I wasn't hiding the fact on who I really am.
For now all my thoughts were of Jordan. Pregnant, with my child. And those time she tried to tell me. What kind of boyfriend did that make me.
Those time I had chosen Lily in front of her. Even if it was just for show she must have been hurt and lonely. Fuck, if I had known I would have done things differently.
Suddenly I felt light headed and my heart was beating uncontrollably. I have never felt fear before until now. I was scared but for whatever reason I do not know. But something in me could feel like a part of me was slowly dying. "Jordan." I mumbled to myself.
"Jack." Just then JJ came bouncing in.
"Have you contacted Gerad?"
She looked at me with tears in her eyes nodding her head. Something tells me something happen and I'm not going to like it.
"It's JR." Hearing her name had sent my heart pumping giving me chills. I have never been afraid in my entire life and to know something may have happened that is when fear took over.
"She has been in an accident." At that moment it felt like my heart had stop and the air was suck out of my lungs.
