The Jock

The Plan

I almost slam the car door shut after making sure Grace was buckled in. I wait for a while having my head thrown against the seat.
A few days later
   I go back to the hospital, I haven't seen Tom since the incident which the last few days I had spent sad and broken. Grace was being effected by my action. I was bed ridden usually with Grace next to me, my arms around her that way she wouldn't fall over to one side. When she was sad because of no funny actions going on she would cry and I wouldn't know what to do.
   I enter Tom's room as he had agreed to go out on that tour, but I barge in to see him kissing Jazz. I put Grace's infant carrier down. "So your back to stealing peop-" I start but was soon interrupted.
   "He isn't yours anymore Ellie, just get used to it" Jazz speaks up.
   "You know I never really liked you. I mean other than the fact that you used Harrison basically to almost murder his sister and his best friend only to get with his best friend. Which I do have a question, what if he died, would you just try to un plug my life support. Wait hold up I forgot to mention the time you used my brother just to get to Tom for the fame."
   "I don't know what your talking about"
   "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You know I should've just disappeared from your life so I could be with the love of my life which doesn't even know who I am and knows the name Grace more than someone who's been with them for what a good 2 years now. You really did ruin my life Jazz, which I know was your goal so good job you succeeded" I finish with a sarcastic smile, grabbing Grace.
   "Wait I thought we were going to go on that tour" Tom asks.
   "Well yeah we were till you know, you just happened to be with your new girlfriend who does not need any help raising a child like I did" the whole time I had been here, tears were threatening to spill. The heartbreaking scene of seeing Tom being completely under Jazz's spell was devastating. My hand was red from holding onto Grace's carrier very tightly. I look down at Grace her brown curls and brown shining eyes. I shake my head, "That tour is better canceled, and just erase me from your life. I tried getting you to remember me right now and yet you don't budge, so just move on from me and go onto her." Tears falling from my eyes. My sight blurry, I exit the room and sit down on one of the chairs, losing it. I take Grace and head to the car, still not mentally stable, but just trying to get out of there as soon as I could. Buckling in Grace, I sit down on the opposite side of her. My tears falling faster every second. As Grace looks at me she starts getting teary as well. I take her out from the seat and hug her, right now she had been my only light of hope. My phone starts ringing, I answer with my free hand. "Hello?" I greet.
   "Ellie, meet me in your house"
   "Sebastian why are we meeting in my house."
   "Because I have a way that Tom could remember you."
   "Look I told him to just forget about me, it's not like I walked in on my lifelong bully kissing him."
   "Ellie, you have to have hope. Operation.. uhm.. Cobra is now in effect. I will be your little spy"
   "Sebastian I don't thing being a spy is a game."
   "Look just trust me, if you don't want to hear my plan then I'll do it on my own."
   "Fine I'm on my way to my house."
   "Fantastic, Bye" before I can say goodbye back Sebastian hangs up.
I make my way to my house, spotting Sebastian on the front yard. I smile grabbing Grace from the car, walking to Sebastian with her. I sit down next to Sebastian who was on the bench that was placed right outside. "So what is this plan of yours."
"Well you know how you have a ton of pictures of you two." He starts. "So how about instead of you showing him everything, I do, I can be like a spy"
"Sebastian, you don't have to do this."
"I don't have to but I want to. Ellie I can't let you be alone with his child while he goes out being with that one girl who you have terrible experience. And don't even say your going to move on because you said that what 5 months into all of this and you didn't, because you very well know that you can't move on because Tom has been with you since high school and you can't just give up on him."
"So you're going to do this with passion to get your man back, you are going to get Grace's father back. And you canceled the tour didn't you" He continues.
"Maybeee..." I respond with an awkward smile.
"Okay I guess I'll do that as well, oh.. and Robert, they spent a ton of time with each other, right?"
"Yeah, they did."
Sebastian leaves with a ton of photos of Tom and I. I felt terrible for not helping out.
Sebastian's POV
I knew that Ellie was not planning to go all the way out for Tom. Meaning I had to step up, I was going to help out. The time I visited Tom he knew me, I felt as if he remembered every but Ellie. Which was odd, why would he remember everyone but her.
I enter an elevator, hearing that Tom had been checked out and was stable. Exiting the elevator, I knock on an apartment door. Almost immediately the girl Ellie hated opened it, having a mischievous smile on her face. "Can I speak to Tom" I question.
"Actually we were ab-" she begins but is interrupted by Tom.
"Stan, What did you need." He asks.
"I was wondering if you wanted a coffee, just a little you know get away."
"Getaway from?"
"Well you know you've been all cooped up"
"Sure then, let me just throw on some clothes. Do you want to come, Jazz?"
"Actually I needed to talk about something private." I speak before Jazz says anything. Tom leaves to one of the rooms. "Just so you know, it's kinda wrong to use a man who doesn't remember anything."
   "I know but I don't really care, I've tried getting to him since high school, I convinced him to leave Ellie on graduation, he did it but never got with me. You know then I just decided to use Ellie's idiotic brother to get to him and it worked. Now her brother is off the radar but I don't really even care. The good thing is that Ellie and Tom never made it public, that would make me work harder. Plus I know what your up to"
   "If you know what I'm up to why would you let him come with me."
   "Because Tom's family is on my side, they believed me when I said Ellie cheated on him and that's how she got pregnant. They thought their son was as perfect, didn't believe he would try for a baby till he was 30. And as long as Tom's family is on my side, he will believe everything they tell him, maybe not what I tell him."
   "You really are crazy, but why do you want Tom, you clearly have no feelings."
   "I've actually never been better, but Tom's reputation in the film industry could help me out."
   "You know that's not at all how it works, it doesn't matter on who your with. You have to work your own way up. And once you see that, you'll see that this whole plan that started a long time ago will have just been a waste of time. You are a gold digger and a fame digger."
