6 years later.

June 20, 2025

Their 6 today, Jasper has always been the one to keep me updated on them all. He was uspet as they all we're but we're really close now. I don't think anyone knows but im thanful for him even though i don't deserve it.

To Jasp: Did they get them?

From Jasp: Yeah i just gave it to them they we're obsessed i had to act like they we're from me.
*image attached*

I opened the picture to see my twins they we're so big they literally looked like both Carter and I equally. I felt tears start to come out, i wish i could hold them and have them call me dad but i fucked up.

It's always the same shit with me I've become so depressed over it all its been 6 years and im miserable as i deserve.

I was taking my usal walk around this park thats close to my apartments. It was cold out which was crazy.

I was so focused on the picture of Olly and Zo that i bumped into someone. I looked down to see a girl on the floor and i gasped "Holy shit im so sorry"

She looked up and i helped her up as she smiled at me "im fine i can take a hit" she said laughing but then looking away.

"Im still sorry" i pause and look at her wow she was beautiful "im Bryson"

"Hi Bryson im Peyton"

"What brings you out today?" I ask

"You know just trying to take my daily walk for the day" she says.

"Me too its nice out today"

"I love the cold so i agree"

"Are you from here?" I ask

"Yeah i live like 10 minutes away, what about you?"

"I live 5 minutes away"

"Ah thats great well have a nice walk" she says turning to leave but i stop her.

"Would you like to maybe hang out again?" I ask

She looks hesitant "um sure do you always walk at this time?"

"Yeah i do" i say

"Then we can walk together everyday" she smiles.

"Sounds like a plan"

"See you tomorrow Bryson" she says as she runs away.

Im left standing there thinking about Peyton. Its been 6 years since ive felt so amazed by a girl since Carter. We spent 5 minutes talking and i want more.

I remember to text jasper back.

To Jasp: thanks bro i appreciate it, please give them a big hug for me

From Jasp: you wanna hang today? Im driving up for a little.

To Jasp: Sure meet me at mine

I run to my car and drive to my apartment to clean up.

I open the door to see Jasper and Skylar and she didn't look happy to see me, I don't blame her.

"Hey dude" jasper says

"Hey what do you guys wanna do?"

"Well I didnt really know we were going to come see you or else I would of just stayed with them over back home" Skylar says glaring.

"Sky" jasper says to her.

I look at her "didn't you not really care for carter" I say

"It's been 6 years dude shit changes, you should know" she says.

"Okay guys lets just calm down" jasper says

"I just think it's ridiculous that you left her and your TWO BABIES with no explanation" she shakes her head "you know she still wonders why and I can see that it hurts her so much but she's extremely strong and all she does is give the twins a great life, so in the end it's your loss not theirs"

"I'm sorry about her she's just really protective over them" jasper says when Skylar is in the restroom.

I sigh "she's right though" I say

"Yeah I know but I'm still sorry" he says

"How is it back home?"

"It's great we all sorta live together now and we all have enjoyed watching Olly and Zo grow"

I look at him and then down "I miss them" I say

"So why not go back and apologize?"

"It's not that easy"

"It is though you apologize to Carter first and make sure she agrees to you seeing the twins before you do, because if you even confuse them or hurt them that's it Bryson"

"I know" I say

"Their still young and they always ask about their dad don't you think they deserve to know you?"

"They ask about me? What about Elijah?"

"Bryson Carter and Elijah have always been real with them they love Elijah and Elijah loves them and yes maybe it might be hard for them at first to get use to you but I know deep down you all need to come back"

"But truly it's up to you because it was up to you to leave"
