The response
Sad little JONAS one shot.
I tap my fingers waiting for the mail to come. Did he finally write back? That's all that could go through my head. Was there finally going to be a letter. A closure to my broken heart?
Days later
I am doing the same thing that I have for the past few days. Waiting for the letter to come. If he loved me and wanted to continue our relationship he would write back. If he wasn't to busy talking to other girls he could write back . He is killing my heart and I can barely take it any longer. All he needed to do is write back if he wanted to try and save our marriage. But no , I get no response.
Weeks later
I scurry inside getting my mail looking at it seeing if there was anything from him . I could take it. I would even accept divorce papers. But surly there are none and he is not even thinking about writing me back . Leaving me here alone. Why did I have to say that I was pregnant. I mean I didnt expect him to walk out of the door and not return . He even got his brothers just to pick up the things.
Months later
There he is little Jr. as I like to call him . I wont even dare to mention his name . It still hurts. No one visited me in the hospital. My mom dropped by once while I was in labor , but yup nothing after that except a card from big man. I see the three days of un checked mail and a flip through it finally at the bottom I see it . A big folder with divorce papers in it and I take then out signing them sending them back to him. Jr. will grow up to treat women better , but strangely I have a feeling he will be like his father in many ways , even if he never meets him. So I close the folder and will drop it off at the post office tomorrow . Not satisfied by my response.
24 years later ( I know long passing of time , and don't worry the mystery girl ... was 27 at the begging . So last time she was like 28. Now she is 52)
I look at my son standing at the alter like his father did at that age. Anxiously waiting for Demi to walk down the aisle. This was better than my wedding. You could see the love for her in his eyes. You could see the nervousness in Jr.s eyes. But most of all you can see hope in his eyes that they will have a successful marriage unlike mine. He will love her forever.
So when they say I do . I will be the first to clap for 'Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lucas Jr.' and I will stand there crying tears of bliss ignoring my broken heart over his father.
hours later
I get home to see that there is only one envelope in the mail box and in it it says
I hope you can forgive me after all these years , but the truth is . I wasn't ready to be a father.
Joe
P.s. I'm sorry for breaking your heart Macy. I guess we will never know what could have happened.
Even I'm shocked it was Macy. I thought it would be Stella lol. I gave no pairing what so ever during this. I had the pairing changing so much while I was writing it. First it was Kevin/Macy . Then it was Kevin/ Stella then Nick/ Stella , Then it was Nick /Macy . Then Joe/Stella. Until that last sentence when I made it Joe/ Macy.
