His kid? (Jack Gilinsky)

Chapter 17

•Cassie's P.O.V•
"PARTYS HERE" Matt yelled opening the doors to our rental house. It was really nice. "Backyard" I heard Nash yell. I dropped my bags and walked out to the back carrying Mason. All the guys were sitting at the table talking. Jack completely forgot about us once he saw Sammy. I loved Sam but I don't know I just didn't think they were the best when they hung out. I looked out to the ocean. "Hey I'm going to go for a run" I said handing Mason to Cam. I grabbed my bags and threw them into a room that was now jack and mine. I took out black spandex my running shoes a sports bra and a cutoff. I pulled my hair into a pony and left on my run.

I had been gone for 30 minutes and I stopped. I sat down in the sand as thought. Thought about Jack and I and my life: did he love me? Was Matt a better choice? When was the last time I saw my brothers? Or my sister? My parents didn't love me. Was Jack dating me because be felt bad? "I just don't know" I said softly letting a tear slide down my cheek. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around to see Matt standing there. I buried my head into his shoulder as he got down and hugged me. "Babe talk to me" he cooed as he rubbed circles on my back. I just silently cried. "Matt my parents don't even love me, I haven't talked to my brothers in almost 3 years or my sister. I always question Jack and my relationship and if he even loves me." I said calming down only to start crying again. "Cassie you guys are in love! You have Mason. You know I'm here for you" he said as he pulled me close. "Matt can I tell you something?" I asked sniffling. "Of course Cas" he said looking at me. "Sometimes I wonder if you and me were suppose to end up together" I said letting tears slip down my cheeks. He looked at me blank face. I could see the tears forming in his eyes. He wiped my tears with his thumbs and pulled me close. "Sometimes I wonder that too Cas. Sometimes I do" he said quietly. We sat on the sand and talked. Talked about everything. "Cassie I think we should get going, we have a show in a hour" Matt sighed. I nodded as he stood up. He extended his arms down to me and I grabbed them. He pulled me up and I stood up close to him. Our faces were inches from each other and that's when he took the opportunity. He pressed his soft gentle lips against mine lightly for a couple seconds but it felt like a minute. I felt something, maybe it was something I had with Jack or maybe it was more, or maybe it wasn't anything. We separated and looked at each other speechless. I hoped on his back as he carried me back to the house. We got there and everyone was outside on the deck. I hoped off of matts back and walked up onto the deck to see what was going on. Everyone was playing with Mason. "Alright let's go get ready" Matt yelled. Everyone jumped up and ran inside. They all came back out in swim trunks and tank tops. "Beach show?" I asked as Jack walked over to me. He nodded lifting me up so that my legs were around his waist. "Your so beautiful" he smiled. "I'm gross and sweaty" I said back laughing. "Still gorgeous" he said kissing me. I hopped down and went to get Mason and I dressed. I put Mason in swim trunks and a tank top, I quiffed his hair and gave him sunglasses and sent him downstairs so thati could get ready. I let my hair down in it's natural beach waves/curls and slipped a hot pink bikini on, I put white high waisted shorts on and a neon pink crop top tank top. I grabbed my gold aviators and slid down the railing and out the back door I went. We walked awhile until we got to the stage and got on. We hopped up and did a sound check and began the show.

•Jacks P.O.V•

"WHATS UP ORLANDO" I yelled into the mic running up on stage. The crowd went crazy. "HOW ARE YALL DOING!?" I asked. They erupted in cheers. The guys joined and so did Mason and Cassie. We danced around and goofed off on stage for a couple of hours and now it was time for the meet and greet. We all lined up down the beach and the fans came up to us. I turned around to Cassie and she was crying. What happened?

•Cassie's P.O.V•

We were now doing the meet and greet! I honestly loved this part. All the fans were so nice. I was meeting a group of girls who were probably 15 and they were so nice. They left and I turned to Matt to see he had his phone out, he was recording something. I gave him a puzzled look and then hands covered my eyes. I thought it was Jack so I smiled and turned around. I opened my eyes to see someone I thought I would never see. It was my older brother Connor. I dropped to my knees and cried and cried.(like one of those military homecomings) he picked me up and pulled me close. We hugged for as long as I could remember. "Con." I said through all the tears. "Hey Cas" he said putting me down. "Con how?" I asked wiping all my tears away, or at least trying too. "I heard you were gonna be down here, so I called Matt and he told me that you and Mason were going to be here too." He said. "Conor why did you leave me" I said hugging him again. "We can talk later" he whispered. "Cas just go, I've got Mason" Matt said. I walked over to him and hugged him tight. "Thank you Matthew Lee" I said softly as I pulled away and walked away. Connor and I walked back to the beach house and sat on the deck. "So catch me up" Connor said sitting on the edge of the pool. We talked a lot about Mason, about my career, our parents; that didn't go well... "I know they don't love me" I laughed. Connor looked at me. "Yes they do! They were just surprised! I promise. And Claire and Noah miss you like crazy!" Connor tried to reassure me. I just nodded. We talked more and then the guys came back. "Mas come here" I said. He waddled over to me and jumped onto my lap. "Mad this is mommys brother Connor, can you say hi uncle Connor?" I asked. "Hi uncle Connor" he waved. "Hey Mason, listen I have to go really soon but I'll see you at Christmas if I can ok?" He said. Mason nodded. Mason hopped down and walked back over to Matt. Jack came over and kissed my forehead. "So that's the guy?" Connor asked. "Yes, this is Jack, Jack that's my older brother Connor" I said. Jack extended his hand. "Nice to meet you" Jack said. "Yeah" Connor said. We all talked for a little bit more before Connor had to leave. "Bye Con" I said hugging him tight. "See ya later Cas, matts got my number" Connor said walkin out the door. It was now time for bed... I picked Mason up and walked upstairs and gave him a bath. After that I out a white cutoff and black basketball shorts on him. I walked him over to the room in between mine and matts and tucked him in. Jack came in and did too. When we finished we decided to go to bed too. "Cassie I really do love you, don't you ever think different" he said looking at me as we laid in bed. I looked at him tears filling my eyes. "Matt told you.." I asked. He nodded. "Everything" "I'm sorry" I said letting a tear escape my eye. He quickly wiped it with his thumb. "Just promise me you won't ever think different" he said. I nodded. "I promise, I love you" I said. "I love you too" he said. And as we drifted off to sleep, I thought about how lucky I was to have Jack and how lucky I was to call him mine.
