"Well everything is all packed." I said to my now ex-husband Mark Stetson as I closed the hood of my car.
"Jen I really am sorry this happened." Mark sighed running a hand through his hair. I knew he regretted what had happened, but that didn't change the fact that it did.
I turned around to face him. "It's fine, Mark. Yeah I am hurt that what we had has died but I would not trade the years we had for anything." I meant every word of what I had said. Mark and I had met when we were six and had been best friends until we were fourteen when we started dating. As soon as we graduated we got married and had twelve amazing years together before he met Sarah.
"Jen you will always hold a place in my heart you were my first everything." Mark said, a few tears making their way down his face. I knew he still loved me just not the way he once had. Sarah now held that love.
"And you gave me two wonderful children." I smiled. Jett and Kendall are twins and they mean the world to me and Mark. We had tried for years to have children and finally last year the boys were born. I often wonder if they had been born sooner if our marriage would have survived but I'll never know now.
"Speaking of Jett and Kendall what do we tell them?" Mark asked. We didn't want to deal with the heart break of seeing each other weekly so the boys could spend time with both parents so we decided I would keep Kendall and Mark would keep Jett. I wouldn't tell Kendall about his father or brother and Mark wouldn't tell Jett.
"I plan to tell Kendall that his father died before he was born. Tell Jett whatever you feel is best for him." I replied. I didn't want Kendall or Jett to think any of this was their fault.
"Okay. But I will not say anything bad about you Jen. Jett will only hear good things about his mother." Mark answered.
"Thanks Mark." I smiled that meant a lot to me.
"And don't worry. Kendall will only hear good things about you." I said giving Mark a hug.
"Are you sure you don't want this house? I don't mind letting you have it." Mark said as we pulled from the hug.
"I am sure. I don't plan to stay in LA." I answered.
"Where will you go?" He asked looking at me worried.
"I don't know yet I just know it will help keep Jett and Kendall from learning the truth if Kendall and I go." I answered.
"Do you need help with money? I don't mind helping you." Mark stated. I could tell he was worried about Kendall and me he was always overprotective of me it's nice to know that at least hasn't changed.
"No, Mark. It's better for us to have no contact at all." I said as we both made our way inside my former home. Although I was grateful he wanted to help we couldn't jeopardize the plan we had made.
"If you are sure." Mark sighed as we made our way into the boy's nursery. I nodded to let him know I was sure.
"Goodbye, Jett. Be a good boy and know mommy will always love you." I whispered stroking my son's cheek. This would be the last time I ever saw Jett.
"Ken, you will always be one of my greatest joys. I love you buddy." Mark said placing a kiss to Kendall's forehead.
"I guess this is goodbye." I said as I picked Kendall up.
"I guess so. Good luck, Jen." Mark said kissing my cheek.
"Thanks and good luck to you, Mark." I said as I made my way downstairs Mark following behind me with Jett.
I buckled Kendall in to his car seat and pulled out of the drive way. I looked in the rear view mirror once and saw Mark waving goodbye as he held Jett a tear slid down my face as I realized I would never see two of the people I loved ever again.
Authors note this is Just the prologue hence the shortness. Also from here on out the story will be told in present tense. Note Kendall's mom changed her last name and Kendall's last name from Stetson to her maiden name of Knight after the divorce.
