I Didn't Mean…
She woke up from the disturbance of the phone ringing. She looked at the digital clock on her bedside table. It was 12:30 in the morning. 'Who could be calling me?' She wondered as she stumbled through the hallway. She picked up the receiver, "Hello?"
"Hey, it's me" a voice said on the other line.
She was still a little drowsy. "Who?" she asked confusingly.
"Jack" the voice revealed.
"Oh, hey, sorry just woke up. How did you get my number?"
"I have my ways." Jack teased. "Uhh, I just want to apologize about how I acted before especially in front of Matty… Is that his name? Matty?"
"Yes it is" Ty replied.
"Cool," added Jack. "If I hurt you, it's not what I wanted… Anyways, I also called to see if I can arrange a time to spend with Matty. So, what do you say?"
Tyiona was unsure whether she wanted to open that possibility for both Jack and Matty. Especially Matty. What if Jack broke his heart? Just, what if?
"Why such a sudden change of mind?" Tyiona asked.
"You know I've been from foster home to another and I didn't grow up with a father around." Jack said. "I don't want that to happen to him. I don't want to do that to him." His husky voice sent shivers all over her body, she's missed him so much. "It feels strange knowing I have a son. Me… Why didn't you tell me? I mean, when you got pregnant?"
"That's a stupid question" Tyiona stated. "Have you blocked everything out? I just didn't think you'd believe me, after what we went through I just thought there wasn't any point in you knowing. I wasn't planning to tell you ever. I know you don't want to be a father. Jack, if Bobby forced you into this, then tell me now because ---"
Jack interrupted, "He gave me shit as usual, but this is my decision and it's what I want to do."
"I've missed you" Ty blurted. There was silence. "You still there?"
"Tyiona, me wanting to be there for Matty" said Jack. "Doesn't change anything between us"
"You haven't forgiven me have you?"
"No. Look I don't care… I don't know. Fuck. I don't want to talk about this."
"Do you still think about me, Jackie?"
Jack sighed. "No" he lied. "I don't have time to, I have other things to do."
"I think about you"
"Can you not please? I'm sorry for been a cunt but I have not thought about you for three years because I have no feelings for you at all. I have a girlfriend and I love her. I hope this answers all your questions." He lied again.
Ty thought he was serious. He never told her he loved her, never heard those words from his mouth. Maybe it was just a sign to give up on hope that they'll get back together and live happily ever after.
"Hey I gotta go, drop off Matty tomorrow okay?" Jack said quickly "Have a goodnight" and with that he hung up.
No, Jack didn't have a girlfriend. He had his groupies. That was one of the things Jack loved. Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll. What else can a young man ask for? Everything was sweet for him, except his mum is gone and Tyiona was back with her son. His son. Their son. What they had was perfect. He can still remember first time they met, all the times they spent together as friends. He was still pissed off at what she had done. She had a boyfriend all along, all the times they spent together, intimately, and she failed to mention. She would show off her boyfriend in front of him. Jack just couldn't bother with her games, didn't ask her for explanation, nothing. She was just another girl, why is he bent up on her?
A few days later, Spares left Detroit wanting more options that Detroit couldn't offer. He had left without saying goodbye to her.
Flashback
At a fancy restaurant;
Tyiona was wearing a low-cut v-neck, black dress. She looked quite ladylike compared to when she was on stage. She was wearing a beautiful white gold necklace with a low set of diamonds hanging down in between her breasts, given to her by her boyfriend, Michael, for been away too much. With her hair done up, you wouldn't think she was in a band. She had to look this certain way when she was around Michael, she had to act a certain way. Michael was 33 years old, 16 years older than Tyiona. He was a handsome, successful business man who had a jealousy streak.
When Tyiona came from Australia with the girls, they visited a club enquiring about gigs and there was men who began to hassle them. Until of course, Michael came and rescued them! All the girls were underage at the time but they had their fake ids, so it wasn't hard for them to get in. Tyiona had fallen for Michael eventually and had dated for over a year and a half. To this day, Michael doesn't know Ty's age. He thinks she's turned 24.
They sat a table not far from the window, you can snow falling from the sky. They were both engrossed in their menus, looking for the perfect wine. Michael looked up from his menu. "Ty, I've been thinking about this since I've been away and I am ready"
"Ready?" She said, still looking at her menu. "Ready for what?"
Michael got up from his seat, kneeled on one knee and took out a small box from his pocket. "For this" He said as he opened and revealed and engagement ring.
She looked at him. "Whoa, that's a huge rock!" She exclaimed with her eyes wide open.
"Will you marry me?" Michael asked with confidence.
"Yes!" She said in a shocked state. He got up and inserted the ring to her finger. It was a perfect fit.
"I love you" Michael told her. "I'm glad you said yes" She just smiled and hugged.
What Tyiona didn't know was Jack had been watching from outside though the window. Spares had been playing at a club not far and they were walking to their van. Parking was a bitch on Friday nights. He saw how happy she looked and gave up on fighting for her. From then on, he just didn't give a fuck about girls, they were only good at one thing and one thing only that he was interested in.
"Shit, Malty!" Ty began. "Why did you have to go with Nathaniel to book the gigs. We're right after Spares. It's gonna be bloody awkward." Nathaniel and Malty hooked up, they were constantly wanting to be with each other all the time, so it was understanding their gigs were right after each others.
As they entered the club, Sociopath, she immediately saw Jack at the bar having drinks. Spares had only a few minutes till they had to go on stage. Before she had a chance to approach him, when Michael came behind her and gave her a kiss. "Hey, what are you doing here?" Ty asked in surprise.
"I wanted to see you perform" he replied. "Come on, let's sit."
Leeza, Ty, Michael, Poppie and Malty sat near the stage as Spares were preparing to play. Ty was in an awkward situation because Jack would frequently look at her and Michael. Michael doesn't know what happened between his fiancé and Jack. This was his first outing with her and the girls. He was always busy with work in the office. She couldn't help but stare at Jack, he was so hot especially when he was singing. He caught her staring at him and smirked. Michael had taken notice of this.
God
broke the mold,
When he made this one I know
She's breathtaking
but so much more
She walks in the room, your loves closed
Making
you never want to breathe again
Her boyfriend has got so much
dough
So much ice his neck and wrist froze
Is he faithful to
her? Hell no
But she chose to be with him
Tell me is the
money worth your soul
Tell me what's the reason that you hold on
When you know that dude has a whole wall of 'em just like you
And
girl you're just way too fine
Gotta be treated as one of a
kind
Girl use your mind
Don't be just another dime
She's
so confused
She knows she deserves more
Someone who will love
and adore
But his money's hard to ignore
She really doesn't
know what to do
Girl it's just a matter of time
Before he finds
another more fine
After he's done dulling your shine
You're out
the door and he's through with you
This was no coincidence that the song was for Tyiona which made her mad that he would do something like that. She was definitely mad and wanted to kick his ass, there and then. "What's wrong?" Michael asked her. "You look uneasy"
"No, I'm fine" Ty snapped. She looked at the girls. "Fuck!" She stood up and headed for the bar. She had three shotties of vodka straight one after another. She thought it would calm her down but only made her angrier.
You're
a masterpiece
I know that he
Can't appreciate your beauty
Don't
let him cheapen you
He don't see you like i do
Beautiful not
just for show
Time that someone let you know
I can't
take
Seeing you with him
'Cuz I know exactly what you'll be
In
his gallery
It's just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're
just another priceless work of art
In his gallery
A few minutes later, "Hey, it's our turn" Poppie told Tyiona. "You ready?" Malty asked. "Yea" Ty replied, having one more shotty. "Song change."
They went on stage. Poppie started her opening with drums and then Malty and Leeza with their guitars. Ty took the microphone from the stand and began.
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
So let them say its wrong
For me to love you
They could never feel
The way that I do when we kiss
When we're close like this
They can't see inside my soul
They can't know the love we know
All they do is waste their time
They can never change my mind
Let them say that I'm a fool
To fall so deeply
Cause they will never ever be
Loved so completely
How can they even talk that way?
And I have never felt so sure about anything
See you are the one, the one that I need
It doesn't matter what they think
Or what they say
I'm loving you anyway, oh
All I know is what I hear
It's what my heart says
That is what I listen to
It's what my heart feels
That tells me, tells me what to do
It's what my heart knows
That's the only, the only truth I know is real
All I hear is what my heart says to me
As she sang this, she directly looked at Jack as if to say 'Fuck You'. It was a response to the song he sung. Jack and everyone else definitely knew, especially Michael. He had expected something as he saw her still looking at Jack. Jack, was still standing there, still staring back at her. Listening to her. She was just so passionate with her song.
After Flux was done, she left the stage and headed outside. Lighting up a cigarette as soon as she was outside. She inhaled it strongly and blew it out with a sigh of relief.
"Is that how you really feel?" a voice asked. She knew who it was, so she didn't bother to answer. "So, you're just not gonna talk to me?"
"You're the one who didn't want to talk to me in the first place" Ty exclaimed. "You wouldn't let me explain. Now I'm engaged and you make this preposterous song. Not only you wrote it, you performed it. You knew I was going to be here. You don't want me, yet you act like a fuckhead."
"Whatever" was all he had to say and he went back inside. Why was he such an arsehole?
She heard someone come out again, she was about to open her mouth to tell Jack to fuck off till that person said, "Hey, what was that all about?" It was Michael. He had heard everything.
"It's nothing" She answered. "Can we please just go now?"
