Two Days Later

Rachel's Pov

Jordan turns back and smiles as he walks to Tom's car. The two's hands locked together.

I feel tears begin to run down my face. I don't want Jordan to get hurt anymore.

Us moving here has caused him nothing but pain. First with Brad, then with the photo.

Tom promised he wouldn't hurt Jordan, but how can I believe him. I can see my poor baby boy going down the same rode I did.

I feel so selfish for thinking like this. Knowing I'm depressed but so is my son.
Watching him get thinner and thinner breaks my heart. I don't know how to help him.

"Rachel you okay? Can I come in?" Anthony asks.

How long have I sat here?! "Sure come on in." I answer.

"You want coffee?" I ask and start a pot for myself. "Sure."

I sit next on Anthony on the couch, and hand him his coffee.

"Listen I've seen your boy play. One of my boys snapped his leg and is gonna be out the rest of the season. You think he'd wanna fill in?" Anthony asks.

"I'm assuming you mean football. I'll have to talk to Jordan he hasn't had the best experience here and adding mkre stress is the last thing I want." I answer with a fake smile.

"I don't think this town has caused the stress."

"Anthony please don't bring up Tom. You don't know the kid. I actually think he may like Jordan." I say but coach isn't buying it.

"you all just moved here. You don't know that boy." He pauses and takes hold of my hand.

"But that doesn't matter. I understand he helped you a lot and he makes Jordan happy. I just want to-" The door opens and in walk my kiddos.

"hey kids." I say cheerfully. Jordan is glaring at me.

"Jordan sit please." Anthony says and Jordan obeys. Ashton sits in his lap.

"One of my players is out for the season would you like to fill in?" Jordan goes pale.

"it's not Tucker son. Now do you?" Anthony glances at me then back at Jordan.

"Sure I don't see a reason not to." I let out a sigh of relief maybe football can break his depression.

"Be at the field tomorrow 5:30. As for you Rachel be safe around that boy and I'll see you later."

Jordan's Pov

Coach kisses mom's cheek! I get it my moms a beautiful woman but why in front of her kids!

"Who drove y'all home?" Mom asks and Ash answers.

"Mr. Tom."

Mom gives me a disapproving look. Is she really second guessing Tom?!

"Mom stop he was doing me a favor. I wasn't feeling well and didn't want to drive." I say but mom just rolls her eyes. Welp here I am again letting her down with another shaky boyfriend.

Sorry for the short update! I'll have a longer one out soon hopefully.
