Chapter 5

"Well, I guess we'll be going now" Rickie said as he pushed Rayanne out the door.

"Make sure you call us with all the juicy details."

"RAYANNE!" Rickie screeched as he closed the door.

The room was now filled with an uncomfortable silence as Jordan moved about the room looking at the myriad of pictures.

"You have a beautiful daughter," Jordan said as he picked up a picture of Jamie, "she looks just like you."

"Thank you," Angela said as she started to nervously straighten up the room. "So…how's the singing career going? Jamie claims that your band is just absolutely wonderful."

"It's good. I'm just glad that I'm doing something that I love. What do you do for a living?"

"I'm a 9th grade english teacher." Angela said with a sense of pride in her voice

"Really? I never would have guessed." Jordan was staring at Angela now as she made herself busy with rearranging knick knacks. "You were pregnant…that's why you left…isn't it?"

"What?" Angela squeaked, startled by the sudden change in subject.

"You just left a note…you couldn't even call me? 'I love you but I'm leaving, Angela.' What in the hell kind of note is that?" Jordan's eye's blazed with anger as he continued to ramble on and on. "Is she mine?" he finally asked.

"Of course," Angela answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Why didn't you just tell me, Angela? Why leave instead of just coming to me?"

"I was scared, okay?" Angela collapsed on the couch and buried her head into her hands.

"Scared of what?" Jordan asked, now towering over Angela. "Do you know how many people you hurt? Think of me…think of your parents…do you know how troubled they were of not knowing where their daughter was? For years, Angela, they were worried sick, and now I think that they have given up hope of ever seeing you again." Angela started crying, she never thought that what she did could have caused so much pain for her parents and for Jordan.

"I am so sorry. I guess I was just scared that my parents would disown me and that you would leave me."

"What?" Jordan said as he sat on the couch and pulled Angela into his arms. "Angela...baby, I never would have left you. How could you even think that? I loved you…I still love you." Jordan gently kissed Angela before pulling her back into his embrace. "Does Jamie know?"

"Yes," Angela said as she sat up to look into Jordan's eyes. "I told her about 10 minutes before you arrived."

"How'd she take it?"

"Terribly, she yelled at me saying that she hated me for lying to her."

"Do you mind if I go and talk to her?"

"No, not at all"

In chapters to come: Jordan talks with his daughter

Author's Note:Well the next chapter will definately take me longer to write. Not only do I have school, but I'm not exactly sure how to approach Jordan's conversation with Jamie. If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading and please review...
