I Love You - Jeff Wittek

Chapter 22

I get up and climb onto Izzy's lap. I move my hips against lap and I shortly hear a groan. I take that as my cue to get off of him.

I put on a maroon oversized shirt and black shorts. I run out of the room and I hear Izzy groan in frustration. I laugh quietly to myself knowing I was successful.

I hear feet walking on the wood floor to where I am in the kitchen.

"Baby, why did you leave me like this." He says signaling to his pants.

I shrug my shoulders laughing and he sighs. He walks away and into the bathroom.

I hear the shower start and I walk into the bathroom.

"Watcha doing?" I ask.

"Fixing the problem you gave me baby." He says with a small moan.

"Your welcome babe." I say.

Izzy picks his head out of the shower and I sway my hips.

"Clean the shower when you finish." I say before going to make breakfast.

I make some waffles and cut up some strawberries. I grab the whipped cream can and set it on the table along with the bowl of strawberries.

Izzy comes out around 5 minutes later and grabs himself a couple waffles. He puts some whipped cream on them and a couple strawberries.

We eat our meals and I take our dishes to the sink. I clean them up and when I finish I try to walk past Izzy but he grabs my waist and pulls me onto his lap.

"What are you doing?" I ask laughing.

He kisses me gently and sets me on the counter. We were in the middle of kissing, when I got a call from Jeff.

Jeff: hey Pay

Me: hi Jeff. What's up?

Jeff: um, it's about Hailey

Me: what happened to my princess?!

Jeff: she was playing on the playground and I looked away for a second and she was gone. I notified the police and they're looking for her, but I think you should fly out here.

Me: yeah. I'll be there as soon as I can.

Jeff: okay. Come to my house when you get here.

Me: yeah of course.

I hang up and Izzy gives me a concerned look.

"Hailey's missing." I say with tears falling down my cheeks.

"Oh my god." He says.

He wraps his arms around me tightly and I shake in his arms.

"She's my little girl, I love her. I'm flying to LA." I say.

"Okay." He says.

"I need you to watch Canyon here." I say.

"Of course baby." He says kissing my cheek.

He sets me down on the ground and I go pack my bags.

"I'll be back when we find her. I'm bringing her back with me if she likes it or not. Jeff is clearly incapable of caring for a child on his own." I say kissing Izzy on the cheek.

"Okay. Bye baby." He says.

"Bye babe." I say.

I walk out of the door and get into my car. I drive to the airport and buy a ticket.

10 minutes later I make it onto my plane and sit down in my seat.

-at Jeff's house-

I just arrived at Jeff's house and I knock on the door.

"Paisley." Jeff says opening the door and hugging me tight.

"Hi Jeff." I say.

He pulls away and tears are falling down his cheeks.

"I miss her." He says.

"I miss her too." I say.

We walk inside and he grabs my luggage. We sit the couch and I lean against him.

He pulls out his phone and goes onto Instagram.

"That son of a bitch." He says.

"What?" I ask sitting up.

"Your boyfriend is getting a lap dance while he's supposed to be watching our son." He says showing me his phone.

"That fucker." I say.

I see the video and see that Izzy is clearly enjoying what the girl is doing to him.

I hear a baby cry in the background and get angrier.

"Canyon's in the fucking back and he's ignoring him. I'm gonna kill him." I say.

"I'll gladly help." Jeff says with a devilish grin.

I laugh slightly and kiss his cheek.

"Thanks." I say smiling at him.

I block Izzy on every social media platform and his phone number.

"Have we heard anything from the police?" I ask.

"No, not yet." He says.

"Um, can I move in with you? I don't think I want to be in Ohio near Izzy anymore." I say.

"Of course." He says.

I start feeling and an urge to vomit so I run into the bathroom and empty the contents of my stomach.

"Pay, are you okay?" Jeff asks.

"Um, I think so. Do you have any pregnancy tests here?" I ask.

He thinks for a second and nods his head. He goes to grab them and comes back with two.

"Here." He says handing them to me.

"Thanks J." I say.

He walks out of the bathroom and I take the tests. I wait for a couple minutes and look at them.

"Shit. I'm pregnant with Izzy's baby." I mumble.

"What do the tests say?" Jeff asks.

"Positive." I say.

"Are you gonna keep it? I mean, I know you're not to happy with the baby father." He says.

"Of course I'm gonna keep it." I say.

"Okay." He says.

I open the door and head to the living room.

I hear Jeff talking to someone on the phone so I lay down on the bed instead.

I turn on the TV in his room and watch an episode of The Goldbergs.

I decide to unblock Izzy's phone number, because I still would need to talk to him because Canyon's there with him.

I text my mom and ask her to bring Canyon out here with the rest of our bags and she agrees to it.

I text Izzy next and break up with him and he's not to happy with it.

I ignore his anger in the text and turn off my phone.

"Pay. It's Hailey." Jeff says.

"What happened? Is my baby okay?" I ask.

"She's been killed..." He says with a sorrowful tone and look.

I immediately break down and he wraps his arms around me. We cry for what feels like hours.

We finally calm down and decide to get some sleep and tell everyone what happened tomorrow.

We fall asleep in each others arms, knowing we are the only ones who can comfort each other right now.
