Chapter 37

While jack was out looking for his ex-wife rosanna was waiting back at the house and she was just talking to molly on the phone when carly walked in;"Hi."

"She just walked in,so I'll call you back later."said her sister to molly on the phone and hung up as she turned towards carly;"Where have you been,carly,do you have any idea how worried we were?"

"Where's jack?"asked she looking around;"Isn't he here?"

"He left to go look for you again."answered rosanna;"We were so scared…"

"That I'd get drunk again."started her sister with a faint smile;"It's not like the thought didn't cross my mind,rosanna,but I didn't and I'm not going to either,so you can just relax."

"Are you okay?"said she still worried as she saw how pail carly was looking;"You look exhausted."

"I am and no,I'm not okay."answered carly;"I suppose jack told you about our talk?"

"Yes,he did and I already scolded him for having that kind of talk with you just coming home from L.A."started her sister hesitating;"He's scared to death that you've finally moved on from him,honey,that he doesn't have chance of getting you back again."

"He deserves that!"answered she angry;"After everything that I have been through it's about time that he felt what I have felt too!"

"It's okay to be mad at him,carly,but don't let it cloud your judgement and I think that maybe jack has already suffered more then you think."said rosanna;"Just let this all sink in and then maybe you guys can talk again."

"Maybe."started her sister tired as she walked up the stairs;"I'm going to lay down for a while."

At yo's brad was sitting at the bar when his brother sat down next to him;"Hey,brad."

"Hey,jack."said he and noticed the sour look on his brother's face;"So,what's wrong?"

"Carly's angry with me and I probably ruined any chance I had left with her."started his brother tired;"Me and my big mouth."

"I've been trying to tell you that you have a big mouth for years,but you never listen to me,bro."laughed brad teasing;"What did you do this time,jack?"

"All I did was be honest with her,brad,nothing more and she got so furious with me."answered he;"I thought that this talk,getting everything out in the open would bring us closer and give us a fresh start,brad,I guess I'll never understand women."

"I haven't met one man that can yet."smiled his brother;"Maybe you should give carly some time and space,man,she just got back after being away for three months and she's been battling her alcohol-problem,which can't have been easy,and dealing with a lot of stuff,so you can't expect her to just be all excited that you suddenly want her back and you need to back off untill she's ready."

"I've been waiting for three months for carly to come back and being able to tell her how I feel,brad,so how much longer do you want me to wait?"asked jack irritated;"A month?Six months?A year?"

"This isn't about you,jackass,this is about carly,who is trying to get her life back on track again and the last thing she needs is some horny,selfish ex pushing her about the fact that he has now decided that he wants her back again!"answered he;"I don't care if you have to wait two years,bro,if you don't give carly the time that she needs then you will lose her without a doubt!"
