Previously on The New Girl:

Jack's POV:

"Hey Jack." Kim says when I walk in the dojo.

"Hey." I say and start punching the punching dummy.

"That's strange, you are normally asking me where Erin =, or how she is." Kim says and I scoff.

"She says she doesn't need me, so what's the point?" I ask.

"Jack, I know you love her and want her back." Kim says.

"You just want Erin happy so she doesn't find out that you and Jonah are dating." I say and Kim looks at me shocked.

"How did you…" Kim starts.

"Kim, it's obvious. Does Erin know yet?" I ask and Kim just shakes her head no.

"Kim, he's trouble, he'll hurt you." I say worried about her.

"Why can't anyone see he's a good guy?" Kim asks and I sigh.

"You're so blind and fooled by him, that you can't see he has you trapped." I say and walk to the changing room.

Erin's POV:

I was waiting for him, and just as I stood up to leave, I see him.

"Jonah." I say.

"I got your voice mail, what's wrong?"He asks and I sigh.

"Just wanted to say a few things." I say and he nods.

"I wanted you to know, I'm not ok with you being around Kim, but if you want to earn my trust, you have to promise me you will not hurt her the way you hurt me." I say.

"I promise." Jonah answers.

"And, I think we should at least try to get along, for my daughter's sake. I know you didn't want her in the first place, but she's my daughter like it or not. I'm not even going to fight you for custody; it's not even worth it. Just promise me this, you'll look her in the eyes and show her who you really are. If you have an ounce of good in you, you'll do that." I say and Jonah looks shocked, but nods.

"That's all." I say and start to walk away.

"Erin, where's your new toy, that Jack guy." Jonah asks.

"We broke up." I say turning around.

"I'm sorry." He says.

"No, you're not." I say.

"Yes I am, I know you really loved him." Jonah says.

"That's rich coming from you, after all, what do you know about love?" I ask him and walk away.

Jonah's POV:

Ha, that's cute. The little princess thinks everything's just going to go her own way. Well think again. I don't want the kid, but I know she does. That'll make it so much better when I go after custody. And Kim loves me already, so all I have to do is get her and Erin fighting more, and Kim will testify on my behalf.

This is awesome.

She thinks she has everything figured out. Little Erin Wilkes, ready to be a mother and take responsibility with her head held high. I'll make her cower in front of me. She'll look like the little weak vermin she is.

No one's going to win but me.

Erin's POV:

I walked in the dojo to see Kim pacing around like mad. I rolled my eyes. She thinks I don't know about her and that j***.

"Hey Kimmy" I said walking over to my locker.

"Er? What are you doing here? I thought you said since you're in your last trimester you won't be coming to the dojo" Kim asked. I shrugged.

"I may be pregnant, but I have to keep in shape. It's healthier that way for me and the baby" I told her. I did read that somewhere, but I guess I just showed up out of routine. Oops.

"Whatever" she mumbled.

I sighed and laid across the bench. I don't feel like doing anything else. I have nothing to do for the next two months. If I had my baby, I'd be happy. If I had Jack….

I won't even go there.

"Hey Kim where's the-oh, hey Erin" Jack said, coming out of the shower room with his hair all wet and his shirt off.

Don't cry Erin, don't cry.

"Hey" I said looking down. "Well, it's close to twelve. I got to go for my appointment."

Truthfully, my appointment wasn't until three, but they don't need to know that.

"Do you need anyone to go with you?" Kim asked. I bit my lip and looked over to Jack, remembering all the times he took me. I could never go with someone else.

"No" I shook my head. "I'll be fine."

With that, I left. My heart might not be able to take seeing him every day when all I want to do is trust that our love would be enough.

But I can't. Jonah took away my ability to trust. He almost took away my ability to trust God. I'm better off alone than I am trusting another good looking guy who says he loves me.

Chapter 21: Just Leave Me Alone

Jack's POV:

I don't mean to be cold towards everyone, but I just lost the love of my life and it's evident.

"Jack, you can't keep icing everyone out. You and Erin-"

"Me and Erin nothing! She doesn't need me! She doesn't want me! So just leave me alone Milton." I snapped. He and Jerry have been at this for the past hour, so I have every right to yell at them.

"Jack, I'm sure this is just like pre-proposal cold feet." Jerry said. I stared up at the idiot, wondering where the heck his brain was or if he got dropped on his head as a baby. Yep, I'm going with that. Even Frankenstein wasn't that stupid.

"Jerry, I didn't propose." I grumbled.

"That's why I said 'pre.'" he said as if it was obvious.

I just shook my head. He's such an idiot.

"Or maybe it's some kind of pre-labor hormone-y thing she's going through where-"

"Jerry, just shut up." Milton said shaking his head. "You aren't helping."

I rolled my eyes and turned towards the door of Phil's, just in time to see Erin walk in with Kim and Rudy. Crap.

"Hey guys." Kim said in a cheery voice as she drug Erin over here. I sighed. She obviously wants us back together, but this is not the way.

We all replied our greetings, more or less.

And then, sometimes I really don't like my friends because they all left me and Erin alone. They said Erin needed to sit down and made her sit by me-there's no one by me-and then they all got up to get some food. Jerks.

We just sat there in silence. I don't know how anyone stays friends after a break up. Disney Channel* thinks it's possible and things all go back to normal, but news flash, that's not what it's like in real life. Erin was like my best friend before we got together. Now, she hates me. Goes to show TV lies.

Deciding the silence was too much, I spoke up. "So how did your doctor's appointment go?"

"Fine." was her only reply.

"They said everything was good? Nothing wrong with the baby…?"

So sue me. I really wanted to know. I may be pushing it a little, but I'm involved whether she likes it or not.

Erin sighed. "Why are you talking to me?"

I blinked. "I was just-"

"Just not leaving it alone? Jack, I told you I didn't want to talk about it."

"Hey, I was just checking up on the baby. Don't twist my words around into something they aren't." I snapped. Closing my eyes, I sighed. "Look I'm-I'm sorry I raised my voice. I didn't-"

"No Jack, you're right. You're always right, which is why I have to go." Erin said, grabbing her purse and getting up faster than I have ever seen a pregnant woman get up. And just like that, she was gone. Well that went well.

"Jack, where's Erin?" Milton asks when they walk back to the table.

"She left." I say as if it wasn't obvious enough.

"Really jack? What did you say to my sister?" Kim says.

"Nothing, I mean I was trying to talk to her so it wasn't awkward and she just left." I say and Rudy sighs.

"I'll go find her." He says and walks over to the dojo.

Erin's POV:

I was sitting in my Uncle's office, looking at old pictures on my phone, when I saw a picture of Jack and I, my heart broke even more if that's possible. I exit my gallery and put my phone away.

"Erin honey, come back over to Phil's." Uncle Rudy says walking towards me.

"Why should I? You guys are just trying to get Jack and I back together." I say snapping at him.

Ever since everyone found out about the break up, I was forced to talk to Jack, or "accidently" run into him at school. I know they want us back together, but this is ridiculous.

"Sweetheart, I'm just saying go over there, have a meal and be nice." Uncle Rudy says and I sigh.

"I really don't like you right now." I say and Uncle Rudy laughs.

"I love you too." He says.

We walked over to Phil's and I stop at the door.

"I really have to do this?" I ask and Uncle Rudy nods and I sigh as we walk in the doors.

Jack's POV:

Erin walks through the doors followed by Rudy, who was determined not to let her leave.

Erin sits next to Kim, across from me, refusing to look me in the eyes or even talk to me.

Everyone sat and ate in silence until Milton attempted to make small talk.

"How did your appointment go Erin?" He asks. Good luck getting that information out of her; she probably won't answer while I'm sitting here.

"It went well, she's healthy and everything is good." Erin says.

"Did your doctor say anything about pre-labor hormones?"Jerry asks and Erin looks at him confused.

"Don't ask." I say and Erin rolls her eyes at the sound of my voice.

There was once again, an awkward silence until Kim perked up.

"How is the preparation for the dance completion going?" She asks Erin.

"I didn't know you danced." I say shock evident in my voice and Erin looks at me.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about huh?" Erin replies snapping.

I look at Erin and I see tears shining in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" I ask her. Like I said, I'm involved whether she likes it or not.

"Nothing." She says.

"I'm going to go, I'm getting tired." Erin says looking at Rudy who nods.

They stand up and Erin looks at Kim.

"I'll see you at home Kimmy." She says and Kim nods.

"Erin, wait." I say.

"Just leave me alone Jack." Erin says looking at me in tears.

I look at her shocked and she hurries out of Phil's, Rudy following close behind.

*We do not own Disney Channel or anything else you may see and recognize.

We love ya'll!

Thank each and every one of you for you kind words.

I want to challenge you guys, I would like to see at least two new reviewers, friends of yours on here before I update the next chapter. Could you do that for us?

God bless!
