It All Began In Paris

Chapter 29

**Jacqueline's POV**

I woke up and found that Jethro wasn't in bed beside me. I figured he must be making breakfast or something. I put my pj top on and underwear before heading downstairs.

All his stuff was gone. All of it.

Then I found the envelopes. I opened the one addressed to me.

Dear Jack,
I've left. I've gone back to D.C. I'm sorry but I can't do this. I can't be a father to our child. Michael can be. Michael will be. And he'll be an excellent father.

Don't think that I don't love you. I do Jack. I love you so much. But Jen and I are soulmates. I'm sorry.

I love you Jack.

Best wishes,
Your Cowboy.

I ripped the letter into tiny pieces. I couldn't hold in my tears. I couldn't go to Sophie or Emily, they were out all day.

The only person I could think of was Michael. I called his cell.

"He's gone. He left me. We slept together last night and he left me." I cried.

"I'll be right over." He said and hung up. A few moments later he was in the house.

"It's okay. You'll be okay. I'm here." He said and held me tightly.

I woke up to my phone was ringing. I wrapped the bed sheet around my naked body. I answered it without even checking who it was because I was still half asleep.

"Jenny and I are engaged!" Jethro said excitedly through the phone.

"Congrats." I said as the tears streamed down my face.

"Fuck." He cursed.

"Yeah. That's exactly what I was thinking."

"I meant to call Sophie. I'm sorry." Jethro said.

"I'll tell her the good news."

"Jack I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

"Yeah whatever. I hate you Jethro and I never ever want to see you again." I said before hanging up.

"What happened?" A naked Michael said, from beside me.

"Jethro's engaged. He went home and asked Jenny to marry him. He meant to call Sophie but he called me." I sobbed.

**Sophie's POV**

Emily and I were still in the coffee shop. We were just chatting about anything and everything.

Then I got the shock of a lifetime. The door to the coffee shop opened and in walked Jake. He was with a group of guys his age.

He saw me and his eyes grew massively. He walked over to me.

"What are you... why are you... hey." He said, finding his words.

"Hey. And to answer your attempted questions, I've moved to Boston with Emily and mom." I stated, somehow managing to keep my cool.

"Wow! You should've told me."

"When? When you were lip locked with Rosie?" I asked him.

"I haven't spoken to Rosie since I got off the plane." He told me.

"I don't believe you Jake. I kinda wish I did, but I don't." I admitted.

"Sophie, come on. Don't be like this. We aren't long distance. We're both in the same state. In the same city."
