I sighed after I finally put Arthur to sleep. I went back to looking through newspapers for jobs. I couldn't really get a job now since Arthur is only two and half months old, he still needs me around.
Over these two months of having him though, I've learnt to really respect mothers and it made me realise how much my own mother was put through to raise me and Melvin. But over these two months it's been tougher and tougher everyday.
I barely eat now. I'm too busy worrying about Arthur's next few months. I'm too busy dealing with my mental demons. Sometimes just feeding him is so difficult. Everything just takes so much effort. And him waking up in the middle of the night drives me crazy sometimes.
》》Roxanne《《 Jack returned and we went back to our game of chess. Just then there was a knock on the door. I got up and went to open the door. "Tyler? What are you doing here?" "I came to check on Jason, I saw him at the bar drinking uncontrollably and I wanted to make sure he's alright." "He's sleeping now. Would you like to come in?" I asked. "Sure." I stepped aside and let Tyler in. I closed the door. "Roxy, I need to talk to you," Tyler said. "Sure," I sighed. I led her to my
》》Jack《《Calvin drove us to Jason's apartment. It was a silent drive. Radio was crap, playing the most depressing songs you'll ever hear. The one song that really hit so hard, I saw Jason cry, was Happier by Marshmello and Bastille.I'm not too sure what about the lyrics caused Jason to shed a few tears, but I knew I had to listen to that song again, maybe look up the lyrics.I must admit though, I was still messed up inside about it. Roxanne... she and Jason were my younger siblings. Yes, I'm older than them both. Older than Jason by two whole years and a few months. Why he's in charge, I have no idea. Yes he started this whole thing but it wouldn't have got off the ground without me and my connections. Roxanne though, she was the blood of this. 
》》Jason《《 "Adrian?" She caressed my cheek as tears began to roll down her face. "I heard what happened. I tried to ignore it, I really did, I just couldn't let you go through this alone." "Adrian... please Adrian," I sat up, "please stay. Don't leave me. Stay with me, please," I pleaded as my tears raced down my face. "Five minutes!" the guard standing outside said. "Jason... Jason, listen to me," she soothed wiping my tears unable to hold back her own, "I don't wanna hurt you. I believe you are a strong man, and you will get through this, but I can't- I can't do this with you. My life is in Bedford, my life is with Arthur."
》》Jack《《 I sighed while I watched as Jason went upstairs. When he disappeared I looked at my group of friends. They looked just as disappointed as I was. I couldn't blame them, I wasn't the one who came up with the idea to bust him out, Calvin did, and everyone else supported him. The thing that holds us togather unlike any other cartel is our friendship. Business can wait. When one's down, everyone is to stop amd help 'em up. Even if it means we're gonna have to carry 'em for a while. No one gets left behind. And this whole ordeal Jason has been going through, its dragging everyone down. Roxy was one of us, losing one of our own is like losing a limb. It's painful. Every other limb suffers. Until you finally get used to it.
》》Jack《《 "Can we talk?" Jason stepped aside and let me into his dark room. He clicked pause on the song he was listening to. "What's up?" he asked me. "Look Jason, I know you're still messed up inside. I mean who am I kidding, you lost your sister less than three weeks ago. But you are in danger here. We have to leave this place," I explained. "Jack, you're my brother and I get that you're tryna protect me and yourself but... I lost the most important person in my life! I bought this place for her! I resorted to crime for her! I got nothing to lose now, absolutely nothing! "Adrian won't let me help her or get anywhere close to my son! You want
Hey Readers Thanks for all the support so far. I am truly grateful to each and every one of you. I just realised I published Chapter 44 before Chapters 42 and 43. I literally gave myself I slap when I saw it. Like no joke. A nice hard slap on the forehead😂. I will get in contact with my editor to fix it asap. In the meantime, please read Chapter 42 and 43 first then go back to 44. I know its quite a bit of work and a bit of a late warning, I'm sorry😅. Please bare with me. Oh and the end is like 11 chapters away, super excited. It's been quite the journey. I hope you have enjoyed it so far as much as I have. Thanks again for all the support. DafireA
》》Jack《《"Here is your discharge letter, and painkillers. And you are free to go," the doctor smiled."Thank you. Hey, do you know how my fiancee is doing?""She is still unconscious but she is showing small signs of recovery but thats not very promising. She is the high dependency unit," the doctor said."May I see her?""Sure, follow me," the doctor sighed.He led me to her room. He opened the door for me before he left. I took a seat beside Tyler and held her hand. She was really badly injured. Scratches covered her beautiful face along with a few bruises and a few cuts.She had a cast on her knee and on her elbow as far as I could see. My heart cracked as i remembered our little argument before we left.**Flashback**Tyler grabbed the keys and said, "I'm driving.""No I'll drive!" I said."Who's the better driver here?""Oh come on Tye-""No! Who's the better drive here?""You," I s
》》Adrian《《I woke up and looked around. I was in bed but I felt like something was missing. I looked to my left and then to my right.Where's Arthur?Reakisationnhit me.Oh no, did the social workers come and take him away from me again? It can't be. I cant lose Arthur again. I can't. If I do... I'll die...I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. I saw Daniel carrying Arthur and feeding him a bottle. I sighed in relief."Oh good morning.""Hi," I greeted back."The babysitter is on her way.
