Word Prompt: Slide
I stood there watching as one of my best friends chased the little girl with blonde hair, running around the park. She screamed and giggled every time Emmett purposely missed her.
Normally, events like this made me wish Jasper was here to see this, maybe to even be the one that chasing our daughter.
I turned to see the man in question slowly walk towards me. His blond hair long and in his face. He was hesitant about being here, that much was obvious in the way he held his body.
"Be nice," I heard Emmett hiss in my direction followed by the shrill giggle of my three year old.
I gave him a tight smile, before returning my attention to Jasper. "It's been a long time Jazz..."
He nodded. "Very long... You look good..." he smiled slightly as his eyes caught mine.
"Thanks," I forced a smile before chuckling slightly. "You look like hell."
His smile promptly dropped. "She's beautiful," he nodded his head in Angel's direction.
"That she is," I agreed as she decided now was the time to run towards me.
"Momma! Emmy me slide kay?" she asked as she tugged on my hand. She waved at Jasper giving him a shy smile, much like the one he used to have.
"That's fine baby, just listen to Uncle Em okay?" I asked, crouching down to re-clip her hair out of her face.
"Kay momma," She smiled again before waving at Jasper. "Bye." He waved back looking a bit bemused.
She ran back Emmett, who helped her cross the monkey bars. "Let me guess, Em told you we'd be here?" I asked Jasper. He looked slightly uncomfortable and nodded. "Are you still.. you know?" I asked even though I was pretty sure of the the answer.
He looked at me confused. "Am I still what?"
"Using?" I whispered.
He shrugged, "Sometimes." That meant that he was actually using pretty regularly.
I moved to stand in front of him, making sure he could see both me and Angel. "Jasper... I love you... always have and most likely, I always will. But, I can't have you in our lives like this. It's one thing to put me through the shit you put me through, but I can't have you doing that to Angel." I looked up at him, pleading with my eyes for him to understand.
"I understand," his voice was low and gravely, he dropped his head and shoved his hands in his pockets before he turned and slowly walked away.
"I'm sorry," I whispered, wiping the tears from my eyes as I watch him leave for the second time.
