It takes one person
One person to change your life
One person to make you or break you
But in my case
There were two
Two a holes named Michael and Luke
Two boys because I won't call them men




"Daddy!" A little girl runs and hugs him

Why is the little girl calling him daddy !?

It's the same little girl I saw at the gas station the other night ..

Michael puts her in her lap and kisses her
"Hey princess" he says

Michael searches the crowd for someone and his eyes land on mine
I automatically feel nauseas , a thousand thoughts going through my mind, my head feels heavy all of a sudden

"Next!" The girl over the counter says

I automatically look away from Michael and look at Genesis
She holds my arm making sure I don't fall
"Ma'am! Are you going to order?" The girl says
I just stare at her blankly
"Uhm ma'am?" She says again

I look over at Genesis and she's typing on her phone
I snap back and order my drink quickly
After ordering Genesis her drink she pays and we sit on a table

My eyes search the crowd for Michael's tall figure and red hair

He isn't on the same table anymore
I see the little girl running around and screaming happily
My eyes follow her and I see Michael fully staring at me

"Gen ..." I say
A girl makes her way to Michael's table and sits across from him
Michael's tells her something still looking at me and hands her the little girl

Fuck fuck fuck he's coming fuck!!

"What's taking these people so long!?" Genesis says "stay behind me"

I can't move my eyes are glued to Michael's

"Genesis!" A guy calls from behind the counter

"I'll go get them" I quickly say

"Jackie!" Michael steps in front of me
"I-I have to go" my voice shakes

"Please let me explain" he says

I turn to look at Genesis "I'll go get the drinks "

Last thing I want is to be alone with this asshole

I give Gen a death glare
Michael leads me to an empty table and glances back at his table

We both sit
I can't bring myself to look at him I can't

"Look... I don't know where to start" he says
"Start by saying the truth and how the hell do you end up being a dad all of a sudden"
He nods and grabs my hand but I quickly pull it away

"I love you Jackie , so much and you know it , I was stupid and I regret everything , I started cheating on you since the beginning of our relationship and I feel like complete shit for it. Every summer when I left back to Australia to visit my family I visit an ex girlfriend Chrissy and we hooked up a couple of times while I was there and when I met you she had said that she was pregnant but I wasn't going to see her in a long time so I left it , she somehow contacted my mom about a month ago and we barely started talking about a couple of weeks ago, she was planning on coming to America to pursue singing or whatever and -"

"That's why you were glued to your phone all the time talking in private .." I interrupt

He nods "and it's the first time I see my daughter they've been here for a week now "

"So you spent OUR anniversary with your ex girlfriend and daughter "

"The way you say it makes it sound so bad"

"And it wasn't!?" I asked almost screaming

He doesn't say anything as soon as he sees Genesis coming
She places her drink in front of me
"I'll be at the apartment if you need me, goodluck" she says

With that she walks away

What type of sister is she that she just leaves me in a miserable situation !?

Michael looks at me
"And with the cheating it was not often I swear! The first night we started dating I told you I really had strong feelings towards you and I do! But you were so cold towards me I got drunk and well stuff happened then I went loyal for a year until you started rejecting me in that way and this past year I went on dates and-"

"Okay I really don't want to hear it .."

My eyes are watery , I finally turn to look at Michael and he was crying

He never cries

"Michael ?" The girl with the baby says

He quickly wipes his tears away and turns to her

"Hey.." He turns to me then back to her

"Jackie this is Chrissy and my daughter Michelle" he smiles a bit

"Nice meeting you" I fake a smile

She's so beautiful and so is the baby

"You're that girl from the station right?" She asks and shakes my hand
I nod

"Well I'm Chrissy " she smiles
"Jacqueline "
Her smile fades
"THE jacqueline ?" she asks Michael

He nods

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything it ruin anything im so sorry " she says

"You didn't, trust me" I turn to Michael

"Well it was nice meeting you I guess , uhm Michael we are heading back to the hotel so I'll see you later "

Michael nods and she walks away

"She knows everything about us, she kept telling me to tell you but I never wanted to"

I nod not believing a word he says

"So what about you and mister punk how the hell did that happen?" He asked

"We are nothing he was a mistake nothing else" I say
"Bullshit" he says and leans back on his chair

"Excuse me?"

"I know you and I know damn well it was not a mistake "

"I needed someone " I say

"You always had me that's not an excuse "

"You were always busy"

"No I wasn't"

"Michael you were !"

There a moment of silence

"I fucked up and you have no idea how sorry I am" I feel tears running down my cheeks

"You don't even know him" Michael says

"I know it's disgusting"  I agree

He lets out a small laugh

I can't stop thinking of Luke and that list and how bad he gives me a headache

"I told you since the first day I didn't like how he looked at you and I was right , I never wanted him close to you in the first place guys like him only want one thing "

"Oh the irony " I whisper

Michael just stares at me blankly

"What's done is done" I say

"I love you Jackie please remember that and I wish you can forgive me , or us forgive each other and move passed this"  he stands up and kisses my forehead

"Bye Michael " I say

He walks out and I sigh loudly digging my face in my hands

Graduation is in two days and I have no idea on what to do

Ever since the first day I saw Luke everything went downhill
I don't even know why

Makes me want to forget my studies here and move out of state and start new

Maybe I'll do it
Maybe I'll move to New York or somewhere away from here and start all over
