A Second Chance

I'm Sorry pt. 1

Jack's Point of view

I felt my head spin and my heart drop.

That last thing I needed right now.

The worst thing that could happen to me, to Elsa.

I rubbed my head and felt myself fight the horrible feelings inside me.

"Are you sure?" I croak

'Yeah, I'm three months pregnant.' She answered. I went back to the night when I left for England three months ago, and whose to say she didn't cheat on me right after I left. That means the baby could be either one of ours.

I bite my lip to keep from falling apart. "Okay...um, I'll see when I can get back."

'You don't have to, just....be there when it's born.' She pleaded over the phone and I nodded my head as I hung up.

I got up and looked at the door. I walked slowly to the living room and slid down to the couch. Elsa got up and sat next to me. "What's wrong?" She asked with such sweetness in her voice.

I feel my chest pound as I look at her worried face. "I messed up, Elsa. I messed up really bad..." I say in a tearful whisper.

"What's wrong?" She repeated "what do you mean?"

I wanted to lie to her, to say anything but the truth. Instead I grabbed her hands and slowly came out with it. "I think....its just ...that my ex....Taylor is-is pregnant. An-and it might be mine." I finally told her and was immediately pushed away from her caring embrace.

"How could you! Why would you do this to me?!" She yelled at me and I got up to follow after her.

She ran for the door and I couldn't make a sound to get her to stop from leaving.

As she slammed the door I felt my knees buckle and hit the ground hard. I felt my heart beat in my ears and I, for the first time since I could remember, started to sob.

I stayed in my bed the rest of the day, sobbing and packing my bags.
