CHAPTER 15
A couple months had passed and I was now six months pregnant. The morning sickness was starting to subside as the weeks continued to add up. I woke up late one morning and sat up in bed. I noticed that Jack wasn't beside me. I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. I went to the bathroom and then brushed my teeth. I walked out of the bathroom and went down the hallway. I started to go down the steps and looked around as I came down them. I walked into the living room with my hand on my tummy as I saw Jack and Bobby sitting there.
"Hey, honey," Jack said as he got up and walked over to me. "How you feeling this morning?" Jack asked after he kissed my lips.
"I'm alright."
"Good. Bobby and I have something to show you," Jack said as he went behind me and place is hands over my eyes. "Now, you're going to have to trust me," Jack said as he made sure that I couldn't see.
"I trust you," I said as I stood there.
"Alright, Lacy. Walk forward," Bobby said as he walked in front of me.
I took little steps forward as Jack held his hands over my eyes. I walked a few more steps.
"Alright, stand right there," Bobby said as he stopped me.
I heard a door open and I felt Bobby's hand holding mine. He slowly pulled me forward and I stood there.
"Alright," Jack said as he slowly took his hands away from my eyes.
I looked around and I brought my hands up to my face. Jack and Bobby had been working on the baby's room. The walls were a bright shade of blue and there was a crib made of Cherry wood. I walked over to the crib and smiled as I ran my hands over it.
"You like it?" Jack asked as he wrapped his arms around my tummy.
"I love it," I said as I turned around and gave Jack a hug. "Thank you," I said as I hugged Jack.
I walked over to Bobby and he pulled me into a hug.
"Thank you so much," I said as I hugged Bobby.
"Don't thank me. It was nothing," Bobby said as I pulled back.
I walked around the room and smiled at the stuffed animals that were set up around the room. Everything was almost ready. Jack came over and wrapped his arm around my shoulder as I looked at everything.
"I just wanted to tell you two," Bobby started to say as Jack and I turned around. "I wanted to tell you that I'm going to be leaving town for awhile."
"What? Why?" Jack asked as he walked over to Bobby.
"I have shit to take care of. Don't worry. I'll be back for the birth of the baby," Bobby said with a smirk as he looked at me. "I just have some things that I need to do."
"Does Ma know?" Jack asked as he leaned against the dresser.
"Yeah. I talked to her about it earlier. I'm going to be leaving tomorrow afternoon."
The next day came and Bobby left again. I was sitting on the couch, rubbing my tummy when I heard Jack come running down the stairs.
"Guess what?" Jack said as he came into the living room and looked at me and Evelyn.
"What?" I asked as I looked at Jack.
"The Spares are going back on tour," Jack said with a smile as he came over to me.
"Sweetie, that's great," I said as I looked at Jack.
"Listen," Jack said as he sat down beside me on the couch and took my hands in his. "I want you to come with us," Jack said as he looked into my eyes.
"Jack, I don't know," I said as I looked into his eyes. "What about the baby?"
"There are doctors in New York," Jack said as he looked at me. "Please?"
"Okay. I'll go with you," I said as I nodded my head.
"Really?" Jack asked with a smile on his face.
"Yes. When do we leave?"
"The day after tomorrow."
A couple days passed and Jack and I were on our way to New York. We took a plane. I had never been on a plane before, so it was a totally new experience for me. We got off of the plane and a cab took us to the hotel that we were going to be staying at. We walked through the doors and it was so nice inside. There were crystal chandeliers hanging all over the ceiling. We checked in and Jack got our key for us.
"Alright. Let's go," Jack said with a smile as he walked beside me.
We walked towards the elevators and got inside. Jack pushed the button for the floor that we needed to get off on.
"We're almost to the top floor?" I asked as I looked over at Jack.
"Yup," Jack said with a smile.
"Please tell me that we have our own room."
"I made sure of that," Jack said as he leaned over and kissed my lips.
We finally reached our floor and the doors opened. Jack walked out and I followed him down the hallway. We reached our room and Jack stuck the plastic card in the door. The light changed to green and Jack turned the handle. He opened the door and I followed in behind him. There was a living area, HUGE bathroom, kitchen, two bedrooms, and nice view of the city.
"Wow," I said as I walked around.
"You like it?" Jack asked as he watched me admire the room.
"Yeah. It's really nice," I said as I continued to look around.
I walked over to the window and looked around the city. It was so nice. I felt two arms wrap around me. I rested my head back on Jack as I stood there and looked out the window. Jack placed kisses on my neck. Jack's cell phone started to ring and he pulled it out of his pocket.
"Hello?"
"Jack, you at the hotel yet?"
"Yeah. We just got to our room. Are you guys here yet?"
"Yeah. We're a couple rooms down from you. We'll come down to the room in a little bit."
Jack closed his phone and wrapped his arms around me again. It felt good to be in Jack's arms.
Later that night, I was in the shower while Jack and the guys rehearsed. I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself. I dried off and changed into my tank top and pajama bottoms. I brushed my hair out as Jack opened the door.
"They leave?" I asked as I set the brush down.
"Yeah. We're done for the night," Jack said as I walked out of the bathroom.
"When's your next show?" I asked as I sat down on the bed and looked over at Jack.
"Tomorrow night. It's at a club just down the street. You want to go?" Jack asked as he came behind me and started to massage my shoulders.
"I'll think about it," I said as I closed my eyes and tried to relax. "You ready for bed?"
"Yeah. I'm just going to use the bathroom real quick," Jack said as he climbed off of the bed and walked into the bathroom.
I layed down on the bed and turned the lamp off. I covered myself up and rested my head on the pillow. Jack came out of the bathroom and took his shirt and jeans off. He climbed into bed with me and wrapped his arm around me.
"Night. Love you," Jack whispered into my ear before he kissed me.
"Night. Love you too," I said as I closed my eyes.
The next night came and Jack was getting ready to go to the club with the guys.
"You going to come see us?" Jack asked as he put his shoes on.
"Yeah. Where do I go?" I asked as I watched Jack.
"Well, have a cab take you to the club and then just go inside. I'll find you," Jack said as he walked over to me and kissed me. "Love you."
"Love you too. Good luck," I said as I watched Jack walk towards the door.
He walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. I walked over to my suitcase and picked something out to wear. When you're six months pregnant, there aren't many options. I went into the bathroom and started to get ready. An hour had passed and I heard a knock at the door.
"Now, who could that be?" I asked as I walked out of the bathroom and went towards the door.
I opened up the door and saw the one person I thought that I would never see again.
"Miss me?" my dad said as he looked at me.
"No!" I yelled as I tried to shut the door in his face.
"Uh-uh. I don't think so," my dad said as he forcefully pushed the door open and shut it behind him. "You thought that you could get away from me for good?" my dad said as he locked the door and started to come towards me. "He knocked you up. How thoughtful," my dad said as he backed me into a wall.
"What do you want from me?" I asked as tears rolled down my cheeks.
"This," my dad said as he leaned in and kissed my lips.
I pushed him off of me and he fell to the floor.
"Wrong move," my dad said as he stood up and pushed harder against the wall.
I winced as I felt pain in my back. I looked over and saw one of Jack's guitars sitting against the wall. I grabbed the guitar and slammed it onto my dad's head. My dad fell to the floor. I saw my cell phone sitting on the stand next to me. I picked it up and dialed Jack's cell phone number. The phone started to ring.
"Come on, Jack. Pick up," I said as tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Hey, this is Jack. I'm unable to answer my phone right now. Just leave a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can."
"Jack!" I yelled as tears came down my face. "Jack, you have to come back to the hotel," I said as my dad started to get up. "Please-," I said as my dad grabbed the phone off of me and threw it against the wall.
My dad backhanded me and I fell to floor on my hands. I looked up at my dad as he came over to me.
"Lacy!" I heard Jack yell from the other side of the door as I heard a key being put in. "Lacy!" Jack yelled again as he opened the door with police standing behind him. "Get away from her!" Jack yelled as he came into the room.
"I don't think so," my dad said as he pulled a gun out of his coat and pointed it towards Jack.
"No!" I yelled as I tried to stand up.
The police drew their guns at my dad.
"Put the gun down!" one of the officers yelled.
"You're dead," my dad said as he cocked the handgun.
One of the officers fired their gun and the bullet went into my dad's chest. It was all slow motion. Another bullet went in and then another before my dad fell to the floor. I brought my hands up to my face as I looked over at him. Tears rolled down my cheeks as Jack ran over to me.
"Lacy, you alright?" Jack asked as he kneeled down beside me.
I couldn't speak. The words were there, but they just wouldn't come out. Tears continued to roll down my cheeks as officers came into the hotel room and went over to my dad. I felt Jack rubbing my back as he tried to comfort me. He pulled me close to him and held me as I cried into his chest. My dad was finally gone.
SURPRISE! I hope that every liked this chapter. The next chapter, I will probably move into the movie parts and then from there it will just be the movie.
For those of the readers that don't know, I started a Friday Night Lights fic. It's called How Far We've Come. Check that out and review. Thanks for reading!
