Chapter thirty-eight
David's POV
"When I was about 12 my biological parents told me we were moving, that we needed a fresh start to be a good family again."
Hold on. Did she just say her biological parents?
What the fuck?
"Yes, I said my biological parents. Dean and Lisa aren't my actual parents, but they've taken care of me better than I could of hoped for and they've always been there for me."
Why wouldn't she tell me any of this? Did Alex know?
"You see they weren't very good people. My biological father, Joe, beat me. Molested me, left scars all over my body. When I told my mother, Laura, she said that it was my fault. Said that I tempted him. That I wanted to take her husband from her. After that she put in a dead bolt on my door. Where she could lock it from the outside."
Jesus Christ.
"She wouldn't let me out of my room unless my father wasn't home or I needed to go to school, and when he lost his job I was never let out. A

Charlie's POVWalking away from David at the lake was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I laid awake all night going over everything that happened. The expressions crossing his face as I laid out my whole sordid life in front of him. Explained why I felt the need to leave, why I always ran. And then I left, to let him process everything. To give him a chance at figuring out what he wanted to do.Four days passed before he showed up at the front door, asking me to come outside. To talk.If I thought I was nervous last time, it couldn't compare to what I felt now. Everything was out in the open and if David decided he just wanted a relationship with his son and not me I had to respect that."I believe you Char, I do. I know that you thought leaving was the best decision at the time. But that doesn't stop it from hurting."I couldn't look at him, I didn't want him to see the tears wells up in my eyes. I c

David's POV "Hey Char, I was calling about taking Killian to lunch. Is he busy today?" "Today?" "Yes, it's been a slow day for me here. Finished all my paperwork on permits for the new houses and I figured I could take him out to lunch. You know, talk with him and get to know him." "Uhm, okay. Yeah, he's free for lunch. He's a little picky when it comes to food but let me ask him where he wants to go." She said. "Oh, well I figured we could just drive around and he could pick us out a place to eat. You know, make it our place to go together." "Oh, uh, okay. Yeah. Sure." She muttered. "Char?" "Yeah?" "Its just lunch." "No I know I'm sorry. It's just weird to share him with someone else. She said with a laugh. "Hold on, let me get him for you. Killian!" "Whaaaaaaaaaaat mommmmm, I'm playing with grandpa!" "Oh this little boy- Come here please." I chuckled and closed my eyes a

David's POV "I'm not sure what to call him," I heard Killian whisper. "Do I call him David or dad?""Honey. You can call him whatever you're comfortable with, alright?" Char whispered back. Killian looked up over his moms shoulder and released her. She turned and watched him approach me. Stopping right in front of me, he held out his little handle to shake mine. I crouched down and smiled, taking his hand in mine to shake it. "Hi, mom said that we were gonna hang out and eat lunch together? So where are we going? Are you hungry?" He asked. "I am. Are you? If not we don't have to go out and eat, we can go to the park, or even just stay here and talk. As for where we're going we can get whatever you want. I was gonna let you pick." "Okay, yeah. I'm hungry, can we get pizza?" I heard Charlie giggling behind him as my smile grew ten times bigger on my face. "Pizza it is little guy, I know the perfect plac

David's POVThats when it hit me.This is what she's felt like every day for the last six years looking into his face and seeing me."So mommy said that you own a company that builds houses?" He asked."I sure do, I've always liked building things with my hands." I said, chuckling."I like knowing how things work, how to build them. Mom lets me help with her bird houses that she puts together and paints sometimes.""She's still making those bird houses huh? When I first met your mom she had them hanging on almost every tree outside her house.""She doesn't make them much anymore, we don't have a lot of places to put them at home. But maybe she'll start again since we're moving back here?""Yeah. Maybe she will." I stated When I asked him if he was excited about moving here, his eyes lit up. Describing all of the things he couldn't wait to do, Charlie's had been telling him all the fun stuff she's

When we pulled up in front of the curb to the house Killian raced out of the car. Up the driveway right into Charlie's waiting arms.She scooped him up, twirling him around in her arms while I slipped my hands in my pockets.Watching them interact with the new information I had.Had she really been crying for me that night?"Thanks for letting me take him out for a little while today." I said once Killian climbed down out of her arms."Killian, baby. Head inside so I can talk to daddy for just a second. Okay?" She said.Fuck.That's always great.My eyes met hers before they scanned down her body.I want to fix things with her, I wanna make things right between us.So we could be a family like Killian wanted.But it still hurt.I still hurt, all of it still hurt.

Deciding to run errands and get my parents groceries while Killian and david were out to lunch seemed like the best way to keep me preoccupied, that is until I ran into Jill at the supermarket. I couldn't very well ignore her, but how much does she actually know? I'm pretty sure she and Alex were still friends and I'm sure he's blabbed to half of the town by now. Fuck. Thinking she wouldn't see me and I could just avoid her was a pipe dream, why would my luck start today? "Char? I-I thought you moved. What are you doing here? She asked. "Oh, yeah. I did move. To California, but we're moving back here to spend more time with my parents." "We?" Oh cock suck, mother of fuck. "Yes, we. I have a six year old son named Killian." Please don't throat punch me, ple- "Huh. Guess David really wasn't careful when you guys slept together." She said with a smug look on her fac

Jill's POV Charlie used to be my best friend, and I'd long since forgiven her and David for being together. Why hold onto the past? But seeing her in the supermarket sent me into shock, she's been gone six years. Cut ties with all of us, and now I guess I know why. The snide comment I made about David not being careful was a low blow, one that shouldn't of came out of my mouth. So offering to listen seemed like the next plausible thing to do. But nothing could prepare me for everything that came spilling out of her mouth, the life she had as a child would of ruined me forever. Now I understand why she never stuck around to let David explain, I wouldn't of stayed either. Fight or flight instincts kick in and I would of ran too. No one needs that much hurt and destruction in their life. How she's still standing and raising a child on her own put me in utter amazement. "I hid Killian from his father because I

Jill's POV After Charlie left I sat at the coffee shop for probably at least two hours, just pondering what I could do to help. If I actually could or should do anything to help. Not knowing what to do, I sent a text to the only person who was still my friend. Alex. Shit. Is this a good idea? Probably not, but I wanna try and help anyway that I can. 15 minutes go by before Alex finally shows up. "Jilly beans, what's up?" "I saw Char today. We had coffee and she told me about what's been going on. About Killian." "Okay? Is that why you texted me? Because you found out she and David have a son?" "No, asswipe. I texted you because I wanna help them. I know, I know. You think I should stay out of it and my my own business. BUT we know them better than anyone. We can help them Alex. Honestly I think they're meant to be together. I noticed the way he used to look at her, he's loved her from the second
