Sacrifice For Love

Chapter 29 : The evidence

Justin POV

I awoke on the couch I crashed on at the warehouse, not that I got sufficient sleep when I was thinking about my wife. I sat up and spread my feet across the table. My wife was the first person that flashed to my mind when I woke. She has never been away from me this long and it felt weird, and it's making me mad and want to destroy that unknown more and more.

It's so hard to hold back screams of frustration when all I wanted to do was scream my lungs out.

I rose from the couch and went towards the refrigerator and opened it, I took a bottle of beer then I pulled the cover opened then went and sat back on the couch. I took three long sips and it was already finished, so I went and got two more bottles.

For the last couple of minutes, I found myself drinking and drinking beers before I moved to a bottle of bourbon whiskey.

I spread my feet up on the table once again and sipped on the bottle of bourbon whiskey while looking at the rest of the empty bottles of beers on the table since there was nothing else to do other than wait until midnight. As much as I wanted to attack now I couldn't risk doing so, it was against us gangs to strike at daylight.

"What the fuck is going on in here?!" Trent summoned out of nowhere walking towards me. He looked so beautiful. Why haven't I noticed how pretty he was before?

"Y-o my boy," I burped. "Come sit with me," I patted next to him and he came and sat looking at the empty bottles.

"Bro, I can't believe you drank seven beers and bourbon. Listen, I know you're going through a lot since Gabriella went missing but this is not the way you handle yourself from the stress you're going through. You just need to stay strong-"

"I've been strong too long," hic-up. "I don't know what to do. I am worried about her and the baby even if it's not mine."

"That's the thing you're agonizing too much, you need to remain to stay strong and have faith. But guess what? We're all worried about Gabriella, but we all know she's a strong girl. She has been through tough times yet she's still standing strong as ever. She never gave up and she never will," he leaned back on the couch and looked into my eyes and I felt like crying and I don't know why. "And you see that rage you're holding inside because of her and the baby for what happened in Paris, you need to let that go because it's not fair for her, she loves her family and what she did was for her family, and you. You see when this is all over I want you to give her a chance to explain everything, even if the baby isn't yours or is. You don't have a choice, you would have to take care of the kid for the sake of Gabriella."

"Yeah, I know-"

"I want you to think about this all over then go freshen up we are going to make a backup plan for later tonight, and give me that bourbon," he grabbed the liquor from me and drank some. "No more of these or you're going to get wasted- I take that back you're wasted," he sighed. "Get some rest after drinking lots of water."

"I love you man," I told him holding out my arms for a hug. I really needed a hug. Trent is such a good best friend and a beautiful guy.

He chuckled. "Love you too man," we hugged before he patted my back and left.

I stood at the park a few blocks away from Jade's house and viewed the kids as they ran by me laughing and having fun, some playing soccer on the field. I took a sip of my beer and stared back at the energetic kids.

Soon I will be here with my kid. I sighed.

My kid.

"Hey, man can I have some?" I turned only to face a nine-year-old. What is he asking about cause it couldn't be my beer?
