Jo's POV
I remembered my arguement with Henry, those words echoed in my ears. I feel ashamed of myself. How could I yell at him like that? It's not me
I opened my eyes, all five of them were sitting in my room with worried looks. I couldn't look Henry in the eyes.
"I'm fine, sorry to worry you all. I need to speak to Judson" I said controlling my tears
Everyone left
"I want to go home"
"This is your home"
I don't know what to say
"You are Henry's wife and this is where you belong" he said firmly
"What happened?" He asked
I don't even know what to say or how to explain
"It's ok, get it off your chest" he said
"I'm loosing myself, I... yelled at Henry. I even asked if he..."
I feel ashamed to say that I asked Henry if he had sex with Jess
"Since Drew went to Australia, my life is chaotic. Everything is happening without my will and my brain is unable to handle.
Right now I have nothing but negative thoughts, I'm not in right state of mind. It's not good for my baby.
I need sometime alone to think about my life, gather myself " I said
"I can understand Jo. It's good that you are thinking. I will arrange" he said
"I will stay in my home"
"What did I tell? This is your home. You can stay at your old place. Why did you yell at Henry?" He asked
"You are asking me why? Didn't you see, he was dancing with her. This morning she even kissed him and he didn't say anything" I shouted
He smiled
"Why are you smiling?" I said angrily
"You were angry seeing Henry and Jess together?" He asked
"Then what? He is my husband, no one else has the right to even touch him"
He smiled
"I'm so happy to hear Jo, did you ever tell that to Henry? Never hide feelings. You love him and he loves you, remember that. Rest we all can handle together" he said
"He never said he loves me"
"Did you tell? I already told, you don't need him to say those three words to know his love. Take rest, you might feel drowsy because of medicine. Take Mrs. Sheldon(personal attender) help if needed" he said leaving
Next morning I woke up early having slept early last night and I feel very hungry. I want to eat chocolate pancakes and my little one is kicking so hard. I took quick shower and went to kitchen and made pancakes.
They are not so bad
"Good morning" it's Jess
"Good morning" i said
I feel embarrassed about my behavior yesterday
"I will get you pancakes, I'm not good with cooking, please bear with me" I said getting up
"I will get coffee, I don't eat breakfast so early" she said
"I will ask Maria to get" i said
"It's ok, I would make"
She came after sometime with coffee and sat with me
"I'm sorry about yesterday" I apologized
I know she doesn't know my fury towards her but I feel the need to apologize
"Why?" She asked
"I..." I don't know what to say
She laughed
"You are exactly like Drew described, far better than my imagination" she said
I looked at her confused
"He said you don't lie"
Oh god! I'm lying recently
"I do..."
"Its ok out of obligation but you suck at it"
I don't understand what she is talking and what to say
"I thought you would kill me, thank you for letting me live" she said
How does she know
"I love Jason since college" she said
"What?" I was shocked
"Henry tried to help me by making Jason jealous so that he would realize his feelings but it didn't work. He thought we were serious and made things bad"
"I'm sorry" i felt bad for her though I'm beyond happy that Henry never loved her
"I'm so happy for you" she said
"Everyone loves you. I didn't see your family but Drew told. Everyone would die to have such a family. Drew is the only one in touch with me. I know everything about you, what place you hold in every one's heart.
Thank you for bringing back old Drew" she said
"He is amazing, my one and only friend" I said
"What about Henry? I know you feel Jason and Judson as brothers" she said
"Hmm, he is..." should I lie? I can't taint friendship by lying
"Your loving hubby" she completed for me smiling
She know? How?
"Anyone can see love between you both. It's surprising that Drew can't see. You are so lucky to get love of your life as your husband" she said
"How do you know"
"I saw love in your eyes for Henry and anger jealousy when I was with him. Sorry I acted more clingy. I didn't know it would affect you so badly, I didn't mean to" she apologized
"Please don't, I'm sorry"
"Last night Henry told me about your marriage and the situation you are hiding the truth and asked me to leave from here..."
"I'm so sorry, you don't have to..."
"I came here to see if Jason can see me beyond friend. It hurts me if I stay longer. Take care of yourself. Don't hurt yourself, everything will be fine.
There is thin line between love and friendship, Henry sees Drew's friendship as love and Jason sees my love as friendship.
These boys are so dumb" she said
"I agree"
"I tried telling Henry about you and Drew... he needs more time but don't worry he will come around" she said
"Thank you, I feel so happy hearing that. Jason is in guilty mode. He was betrayed in the worst possible way. He needs sometime to come out of it, till then he wouldn't think of love.
Don't go. Stay in his life, he would realize your love" I said
"I don't know, it's hurting me" she said
"You said boys are so dumb. Even Henry is, instead of trying to make Jason jealous he should have helped you propose. The moment Jason thought you are Henry's girlfriend, he would have friend zoned you even if he had feelings for you" I said
"Maybe... I will go for now. I booked my flight for this afternoon" she said
"Please don't go, I can't take it thinking it's because of me" I said
"I like you Jo. I will come back for sure for you if not for that idiot" she said
"You are staying here for two days and then you can go. Come back for good before my baby comes"
"Ok" she said
