Unknown P.O.V.
“I can’t keep lying to my child. They deserve to know that I am their father. I don’t care that you don’t agree. It has been years and years. I have sat on the sidelines and watched my child grow up into a great person and you still won't let me tell them who I really am to them.”
“It was a simple affair and you know it!”
“But what if it could be more? What if we can be a real family all over again. I can be with my child and the mother and the same for you. Our child will have a father and mother in their life. Don’t you want that or are you more interested in your own life and work to care that they might want to know?”
“They have never once mentioned to me that they want to know who their father is and if they don’t want to know or they don’t ask we won’t tell them! END OF STORY!” God, I hate the mother of my child sometimes. She has no idea but I still love her. I had a massive crush on her in high school and I have never moved on since. She has always and will be the one for me and I will fight to the end to win her heart like she has won mine. My child will know who I really am. I want to be a proper father not this. Not a side watcher.
Jax P.O.V.
“Jaxon you need to get ready and then you could go with Katie to school!” My mum shouted up the stairs in the hope that it would get me moving. It wouldn’t cause I never go to school for lessons. Mum knows that but it wouldn’t stop her from trying. My dad on the other hand not so much. He wants me to take over the business once I have finished at university which could be many years. He has my life planned out for me and I am not going to comply with them. “Jaxon! Moving and out of the house please!”
“Fine!” I managed to drag myself out of my bed and into the bathroom where I began to get ready. I mean I brushed my teeth and threw on the first items of clothing that I picked up. I looked outside and immediately regretted everything that had led to this point. The sky was grey and there was no sign of the sun. I have lived in the city all my life and now I am here. The freezing cold countryside with nothing interesting.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her jump out of her bed as the curtains moved in the wind and someone came after her. It was him. So much for not being a couple as she originally said. She didn’t seem too happy about this and I knew what I should do.
I deliberately took a while to finish my food and get my school bag packed. I had to please my father to keep him from annoying the hell out of me. I was going to leave the house when I saw her dragging him down the road after taking a quick glance towards me. Well my house, I was still inside. I walked slowly to school behind them so I could continue what I had started but it is much easier to think than do. It reminded me of trying to track her in her own house.
Katie’s P.O.V.
When can school end? I need to talk to Zac and I can’t talk about this at school. It is not fair to have happened today. Why not at the weekend when there was nobody around? Now I am having to pretend that I am not freaking out and am calm like I normally am. Why did he choose today? I need to rule out Zac. Can I rule out Zac though? He could lie. Avoid it. I am stuck here. I could talk to Jaxon about. Why would the bad boy help me though? Why? Why? Why? Computer geeks. I could talk to them. They could trace the number. I could find the answer. They could cover up their tracks and I wouldn’t know. Who could I talk to?
“I need to go find him. Where does he work?” I muttered to myself.
“Kitty Kat. Are you talking to yourself cause you have no friends? That is so sad.” Claire mocked me.
“Go to hell,” I whispered.
“What was that Kitty? I didn’t understand because I don’t talk cat.”
“Nothing.” I raised my head to look at her and saw everybody else staring at me. Had people heard me say that. I did insult the head girl so I guess I should have expected it.
“Move on then Kitty Kat.” I squared my shoulders, “You gonna fight me Kitty Kat?” gave her my best glare and walked straight past her.
I made my way slowly to the bathroom to process how to get through the day and also where to find.
I saw you stand up to her. I must say that is a great turn on. Kitty Kat. I think that sexy is more fitting. Don’t you? A piece of advice. Don’t come out all blotchy, it’s not a good look.
Another text. Great, that is all I need. They know I am in the bathroom. I am not crying though. I need to skip but is that too drastic. I could get in lots of trouble. I need help though. 2 lessons won’t hurt. Cramps. Cramps are always the answer.
“Didn’t actually want real cramps. Damnnit!”
