Chapter number 1. Old flames
Jack sat at the edge of his jail cell as he listened to his wife Serena talk, listening to her had been one of the highlights of his days for the last three months, she had so much to talk about, stuff that he could no longer be a part of anymore, even the little things that happened, small comments that had been said, he enjoyed hearing all of it.
"Well I have too get going, I'm due back at work" Serena told him leaning against the bars and giving him a kiss.
"Ok, bye".
"Bye, see you tomorrow".
"Hey" Martha greeted both of them as she entered with little chirpy Dylan skipping along ahead of her.
"Hey, how's the birthday boy?" Serena exclaimed getting down on her knees to give Dylan a hug.
"He's had a very big day so far" Martha told them as Dylan run up to the bars to see his daddy.
"Anyway I really have to go so I'll leave you three alone" Serena told them exiting through the door and closing it behind her.
"So little buddy, did you have a good party?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, you should have been there, it was so cool, the balloons were like this big!" Dylan exclaimed stretching his arms out as far as he could.
"Sounds like a lot of fun".
"So how's Jack holding up?" Beth asked Serena who was washing up some glasses behind the counter at Noah's bar.
"Fairly well actually considering the circumstances, but you can tell he just wants to come back home".
"Yeah, it's got to be hard being isolated from everything you love. How are you holding up?"
"I'm just taking one day at a time, I just hope the lawyer hurries up with his negotiation over Jack's sentence, cause i don't know how much more of this I can take".
"You'll get there" Beth told her patting he on the back, "I'm sure you'll get there".
"Thanks Beth".
Beth just smiled starting to get back to work serving customers, "any time".
"Poor little guy, he must be all tuckered out" Jack commented, looking at Dylan asleep on Martha's lap, "he was so energetic before".
"Yes, well that was thanks to a lot of red cordial" Martha smiled also looking down at Dylan, running her hands through his hair gently.
"Martha" Jack started.
"Yeah?"
"Do you ever wonder what might of happened if we did know what was going on on that night?"
Martha just looked at him blankly for a moment, "what night?"
"The night of your coming up party"
"Only every day" she said softly.
"Really?"
Martha nodded, "why is this coming up now?"
"Well, just lately, having so much thinking time, I've started thinking about what I could of done differently..."
"So you wouldn't of ended up in here?"
"Yeah, why did all this have to happen?"
"I don't know Jack, but trying to change the past isn't going to help any of this".
"I know, but-"
"Look Jack I'm not saying that you have to like the past, if I could go back then I'd change a lot too".
"Like what?"
"Like running away from Summer bay in the first place" she told him creating a deadly few seconds of silence. "What would of happened if I'd stayed Jack? I mean, would things of turned out the way they have?" she questioned, Jack's sudden dwelling on the past had got her asking questions too.
"I don't know, but things would of definitely been significantly different... We could of still been together" he added, without thinking, this cell seemed to make a lot come out that normally wouldn't of.
"Yeah, we could of" she whispered, they both locked eyes and looked deep into each other, this wasn't something that ether of them had ment to do. "Look why are we bringing any of this up anyway?" Martha broke out of the moment, shaking her head slightly, "I mean, things are different now, you've got Serena, remember? Were just friends aren't we?"
Jack and Martha both looked into each other's eyes again, Martha could see that the answer was no, but the words came out differently, even though they both knew it was a lie "Yeah, um, sorry, yeah were just friends" Jack apologized also snapping out of it.
"Anyway I should probably get this little rascal home into his own bed" Martha said trying to avoid the orquadness that had been created.
"Um, yeah, see ya".
"Bye".
Please review, I would really love to hear what you think of it so far.
