Sara POV

Sara and Jamie had been fighting all night, he didn’t want her to leave and if I could take a side I would probably take his. I didn’t want to be the reason they had to be apart and I didn’t want to leave either. I sat in the kitchen slowly sipping on a glass of wine while I watched Holly in the kitchen. She has some soft music playing in the background while she cooked which added a nice sound to break the silence that had consumed the house. Jamie was in his man-cave with Jordie and Tyler probably still fuming over their latest bout.
“Sa can you go get the guys, supper is ready” Holly said as she pulled a large casserole out of the oven.
“Sure” I said getting up from my seat and heading towards the basement. Walking into a room with Jamie was the last thing I wanted to do. I knocked on the timidly but didn’t hear a response. I opened the door to see the boys around the pool table. “Supper is ready guys,” I said shyly. Jamie’s head shot up and I wondered how much he blamed me for his fighting with Holly.
“Coming” Tyler cut in before anyone could say anything. I nodded quickly and ran back up the stairs the boys not too far behind him. We sat down and ate in silence until it became too much for Holly.
“You guys are playing in Montreal in two weeks it won’t be that bad Jamie” she said quietly and I knew all this fighting was getting to her.
“Do whatever you want Hols” Jamie said in a tone of annoyance. I thought that would be the end of it but when I looked up at Holly I saw the tears she was fighting to hold back and he hand was shaking in anger.
”I supported you Jamie, I supported you through everything. I picked up my life and moved down here for you. I just want you to give me the same kind of support. Imagine is this were Jordie? Wouldn’t you do whatever you had to?” Holly said while pushing herself away from the table. She got up and put her dish in the sink and then turned around grabbed her keys off the counter and went towards the garage. “I’m going out,” she said before slamming the garage door behind her. Jamie sat at the table with his lips sealed in a thin line. I’m sure he wanted to say something but got up and walked away from the table without saying a word. The three of us at the table sat there awkwardly until we heard Marshal barking outside.
“I’m going to go check on him,” Tyler mumbled before getting up and walking outside. As soon as Tyler was out of earshot Jordie let out a little chuckle.
“Have something to say?” I asked, regretting the words as they fell from my mouth.
“Do you even know what’s going on with Holly? Do you realize what taking her away from here with do to all of us here? To Jamie? For God’s sakes to Holly?” Jordie asked and I could see his grip on his beer tighten, he was frustrated and I could only sit there speechless, I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t that. Jodie was always the calm and quiet one.
“I’m her best friend of course I know what’s going on,” I said in shock
“Before you came up here when was the last time you spoke to her? Before you called her in the middle of the night when was the last time you asked her what was going on in her life?” Jordie said letting his frustration seep in. It hit me then that before calling Holly that night I hadn’t spoken to her in months.
“I don’t know,” I whispered.
“Exactly” he said but I could tell he wasn’t done “you have no idea what those two have been through in the past two years,” he said before putting his beer on the table and walking out. I sat there crying for what seemed like hours before Tyler walked in and found me.
“Jordie must have gotten to you,” he said while sitting down, I knew he was joking but I wasn’t laughing.
“I’m a horrible person,” I said feeling a weight in my heart I thought would never lighten.
“How were you supposed to know?” Tyler said trying to comfort me.
“I’m her best friend I should have known,” I said still crying, “the whole team knows and I didn’t know. I fucking left her, I let her down and instead of dropping me like I dropped her she answered my call in the middle of the night and flew me here” I said more to myself than Tyler.
“That’s who Holly is though, she doesn’t blame you for not being here. It’s obvious that she really cares about you because I’ve never seen her fight with Jamie like this before and Jamie isn’t the easiest guy to deal with sometimes.” Tyler said. I looked up at him and expected him to comfort me like he did the night everything went to shits but since then he had been distancing himself. It hurt to think that he didn’t think about me the way I thought of him, maybe going home is what I needed.

Holly POV

I drove around in silence until it became too unbearable. I was mad, I was shaking and as angry as I was I wanted nothing more than to be at home in Jamie's arms. It was frustrating to try to understand how the man I love made me so angry. It was just fight after fight with him and I just needed to do this. The sound of my phone ringing brought me back to reality and I pulled over to see that I had missed two calls and a text from Jamie.

I'm sorry come home. We'll work this out. I love you - Your Jamie

I love you too. I’m going to go visit Jacob and then I’ll come home – Your Holly

I answered quickly and realized that without meaning to I had ended up at the cemetery were Jamie and I had layed our baby to rest. I turned the car into the parking lot and got out. I hadn’t been here since we had the small funeral; I had never been able to bring myself to see his name on the tombstone. When I got to the little marble stone I was surprised to see fresh flowers and a small note. I knew right away that Jamie had been here recently because I recognized his scratchy writing on the note. I sat down, bringing my knees to my chin and picked up the note.

Hey Buddy I just wanted to make sure you knew that all this fighting between your mommy and me isn’t something you have to worry about. We get mad at each other but we love each other so it’ll be okay. I have to ask you a favor though; I need you to look over mommy for me.

Love you forever,
Daddy


I put the letter back near the flowers and couldn’t help but feel like I had intruded on something I wasn’t meant to. I wondered how many time Jamie came to ask our son for advice. I got up, wiping the tears from my eyes, and headed back to the car.
“What should mommy do?” I yelled out in the silence of my car hoping for some kind of sign. Was going home with Sara the right thing to do?

Notes

I know this one's a little sad. Will everything work out? You'll just have to wait and see.
