Second Chances

chapter thirty one dreams

Jason sighs heavily as he and Jessica sat in the locker room waiting for Tyler. They had tried countless times throughout the afternoon to speak with him about what Kayla had said but every time they tried another crisis would arise and they would have to put it off.

They were about to put it off again when Tyler walked into the room. "Alright I get the feeling that the both of you have wanted to say something to me all afternoon. I've a few minutes before I've to go do a double shift so spill it; what's on your mind?" He ask stretching.

"We want to know if it's true that you're going back to Kayla." Jessica asks. "I'm thinking about it, why?" "Because it doesn't make any sense to us TJ; you caught her in your bed going down on another man." Jason gags and took a deep breath.

"And he's not the only one she has been with; why would you want to be with someone who would do something like that to you." She pleads. "Why would you want to be with someone you can't trust?" Jason asks.

"Because I believe in forgiveness, I've been attending church for the past few Saturdays and all I keep hearing is how many times Jesus has forgiven us." I said running my hands over my face.

"Countless times, so I thought it couldn't hurt to try again; to forgive her and move on." I said shrugging my shoulders. "But how TJ, can you really see yourself with her after what she did?" Jessica asks. "I'm not going to lie; Kayla and I have a long way to go but I believe that with God's help we can make it."

"And what's going to happen if the child she's carrying turns out not to be yours?" Jason asks. "I'll admit, that would hurt like hell but I'll cross that bridge when I reach it and all I asks is that you guys just support me because I don't think I'll be able to do this without you guys; so do I have your support or do you think I'm an idiot for trying?" "You're not an idiot TJ; you're in love; with the wrong woman but in love just the same and of course we have your back, always." Jessica said.

"Thanks guys and if it doesn't work; well at least you'll have the pleasure of saying I told you so; now you guys get out of here; I've to get back to work, I'll see you both tomorrow." I said heading for the door.

"You won't be getting rid of us that easy buddy; we're doing this double shift with you and don't even think of trying to stop us." Jason offered.

"I won't stop you but the chief attendant might." I laugh. "Really; when have they ever turned down extra help; now lets go; there's a lot of people out there that needs help." Jason said patting Tyler on his shoulder.

Jason didn't realize he was standing by his locker with his shirt in his hand until Jessica touches his shoulder. "Hey, you alright?" She ask with concern. "Uh....hey Jessie." "What's going on in that mind of yours?" She ask opening her locker.

"I'm just thinking about what TJ said last night. I mean I was sure that him moving out meant he was done with her but now he's talking about forgiveness and crossing bridges when he gets there and all that shit." Jason said running his hands over his face. "I mean seriously Jessie, for him to even think of going back to that lying, cheating bitch puzzle the hell out of me, after what he saw her doing, any man would have kick her to the curb like immediately but noooo not T J he's thinking of forgiving her, I mean what the hell?" He swears in frustration.

"I feel the same way jase but it's his life, we have no say in what he does or who he does it with." She said with a sigh. "I know someone he should be doing it with, Janice, is whom he should be doing it with." He snorts.

"I mean you would think that with her alluring assets he would be drawn to her but again no, he's still going after that thing." He continues in disgust. "He aint bad looking and he has a couple of zeros behind his name. So in my opinion he could do a lot better than Kayla, so why? What kind of hold does this woman has over him...he....?"
