That's My Baby, season two

Twenty five

"It'd be selfish if I said to leave him, wouldn't it?" Jack blushes, looking down.

"Jack, you know we-"

"I know" Jack interrupts, losing his once playful smile. Jack sighs, pulling out his phone. "Daniels asking if you're with me. What do you want me to say?"

We stop walking, and I debate whether I want him to know where I am or not. I didn't bring my phone so he wouldn't be able to message me.

"Y/n, he's calling, what should I say?"

"You can tell him I'm with you" I sigh, sitting down on the edge of the side walk

"Hey... Yeah, she's with me... Wait, what?... Okay, I'll get her back now" Jack hangs up the phone, sitting beside me

"So your parents know why you two broke up, they're trying to pack your stuff to get you to move back home" My eyes go wide as Jack stands back up. He reaches his hands down to help me up.

Jack pulls me up and I start speed walking home. When I get there, Anna is standing on the front lawn with Theo

"What's going on?" I ask Anna with Jack right behind me

"Um, your dad and Daniel were yelling, I didn't want Theo to be around that. I'm sorry"

"Thank you, can you take him to your place? Take my car" I hand her my keys and she nods her head before heading to my car.

I look at Jack and he nods his head towards the door. Jack enters first, and I go in slowly behind him.

Jeff and Keri are cleaning up the kitchen, they give me a sympathetic look as I walk towards the yelling, upstairs.

Jack and I walk upstairs, hearing arguing coming from my bedroom. Jack walks over first, opening the door.

Daniel is stood by the door with Christian holding him back, Dad is throwing clothes at Mom to put in a suitcase.

"You can't just take her! I love her! You can't take her away from me!" Daniel shouts, sounding like he's crying

"I'm not discussing this anymore. You hurt my daughter, you almost hurt my grandson. She's coming home" Dad shakes his head, finally coming out of our closet

"I'm not leaving, but I think it'd be appropriate if you two did" I finally speak up

"Baby, I'm so sorry" Daniel walks over to me, but Jack steps between us so he doesn't get too close

"You're going to regret this. When he actually hurts you, don't come back to us" Dad says walking past me and out of the bedroom. Mom gives me a sorry look, but follows right behind him.

I walk over and sit down on our bed, pushing all the clothes on it, onto the floor. I rest my head in my hands, for the first time, I'm unable to cry. I'm no longer sad, I'm angry.

"Why would you tell everyone I cheated on you? We weren't together!" I shoot a glare at Daniel

"Can you two leave, so we can talk alone?" Daniel asks, looking at Jack and Christian

"No. They're going to stay. You can't act all tough when everyone is around then turn soft when we talk alone. Pick one. Act like the tough guy who's bitter or act like the guy I once fell in love with"

Daniel looks at me in shock. I've never gotten mad when he's been around. This is the first time he's seen me angry.

Daniel nods his head, then cautiously walks over, sitting beside me. He places a hand on my thigh but I push it off.

"So, why did you just openly tell our families that I cheated on you when the three of us know I didn't. We weren't together, we got back together a month later. If we're counting that as cheating then you cheated on me too. You slept with Luna the same night I slept with Jack" I cross my arms and Daniel nods his head

"I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that. I didn't think sleeping with Luna was me cheating on you-"

"So then why does me sleeping with Jack feel like cheating on you?"

"He's my best friend, Y/n. Both of you should've realized that it would hurt me when I found out"

"So if I slept with any other guy, it wouldn't have mattered?" I fiddle around with my engagement ring, nervously

"I'm sorry. Please don't be having second thoughts"

Daniel places his hand on top of both of mine, stopping me from playing with the ring. I hear Daniel sniffle, I look up seeing tears streaming down his face.

I shake my head, letting tears escape my eyes as I realize he thinks I'm breaking up with him.

"Can we leave now?" Christian chuckles and I nod my head. Jack and Christian leave the room, leaving Daniel and I alone

"Please don't break up with me. I can't lose you again" Daniel gets off the bed, kneeling down in front of me. He puts two fingers under my chin, pulling my head to look up at him

"I'm not breaking up with you, but I think I'm going to leave for the weekend"

"No, please don't leave. I'll go, I'll stay with my brothers for the weekend, okay? I'll leave tonight, I'll come back Sunday, okay?" Daniel pleads, I nod my head lightly.

"Okay" I whisper as Daniel stands up, wiping away his tears.

Daniel heads to the walk in closet and I stay still on the bed. I have to take this weekend to figure myself out, to get myself back to where I belong.

Daniel comes out of the closet with a backpack over his shoulder and red, swollen eyes.

"I'm going to head out now. I'll just be a phone call away, okay?" I nod my head as Daniel makes his way closer to me

"I love you, Y/n, more than anything" His voice comes out pleading, almost as if he wants me to tell him to stay

"I love you too, Daniel, goodbye"
