Lots had apparently changed in the lives of people around him as well. His oldest and closest friend Holland is no exception. She too had faced changes and being back had him wondering how she had been holding up. If he didn’t care about anyone else, he cared about her. He wasn’t sure why. You would think he’d be in New York right now, staying in hiding, but openly expressing his love with Nina Clarke, but he wasn’t. That chapter was long forgotten and it wasn’t because he no longer had feelings for Nina. That wasn’t the case at all, because Jack did still have feelings for Nina. He just didn’t think those feelings were going to amount to anything because she will never even like him let alone return the same feelings he had for her. And no; by no means was the girl whose house he was standing in front of some sort of a rebound girl. In fact, she was the complete opposite. She was the only one he could think of who would make him feel comfortable just as she had countless times before. He hoped he could do the same for her, despite the fact that these two hadn’t caught up with each other in a while. Time split them up and for a while, he went about as though Holly was never even in his life. Being away in France for so long, he found himself going back to the old times when there used to be that one girl who was there for him when he needed her. The girl who can actually get away with putting eyeshadow and lipstick on his face. Not that that’s the only reason he remembered her. Being in France reminded him of all that mattered to him. Friends and family, mainly. This man had been too caught up in his fame and the long line of girls to even remember that. Coming to terms with what was actually important were one of the many ways he changed. But one thing that didn’t change was…all-in-all, the presentation. The Hollywood celebrity didn’t lose the Gucci shades or the Giorgio Armani shoes and tie. He was still showing off the precious Porsche of his. Pulling up in front of her house, he wondered what changed or hadn’t changed about her. Well, the bump was surely gone; he’d love to see that. The baby, most definitely. Evan was one of the reasons he was here in the first place anyway. Not to mention there was a chance that the Holly he last saw wasn’t the same Holly he would be seeing now. He hadn’t heard much. Just that tabloids were going on and on about how it seemed that she was no longer with..Jared. Or was it Jensen. Something. Now pulled up, Jack removed the keys from the ignition and pulled out his phone, going through many tabloids from the period that he was away in France for reasons he wouldn’t like to share with just anyone, even though everyone pretty much knew Cooper Draven’s beating chased him out of the states. Jack’s eyes landed on the tabloid he was looking for. Jeremy. That was his name. He wanted to be able to talk to her, see how she’s doing while actually knowing the name of the guy who she was no longer with. But of course, Jack wasn’t going to be the first one to bring Jeremy up and he hoped she wouldn’t be bringing up Nina Clarke either. Throwing his iPhone back into his pocket, Jack stepped out of his car and headed for the door of the house, looking up at it before ringing the doorbell and then turned around to admire the layout of the front yard. It had a touch of Holly, indeed. Had him smiling already as if she was already there. Jack turned back to the door, wondering if he could just barge like he usually did when they were close. Well, they were still close, maybe it wouldn’t be a big deal. He was ready to reach for the door, but before he could, it moved away from him and opened up, revealing the gorgeous blonde on the other side.

It had definitely been a rough couple weeks for Holly. Things had been going a little downhill when it came to her and Jeremy. She didn’t know what was going on. There had been something different about him ever since they made the decision to move in together and actually got the place together. He was spending a lot of time away from home and he wasn’t as interested in her when he was home anymore. She just didn’t understand what was going on. She had no idea that maybe he was having second thoughts. She didn’t want to think negatively at all. She thought maybe he was just not feeling well, but as time wore on she realized that it was lasting far too long for him to just be ill or off his game. She had confronted him, asking him what was going on, but nothing really helped. She tried to ignore it for a while. She wanted to pretend like everything was okay. She never suggested otherwise and she never told anyone that she was having problems. She didn’t want them to know. If other people knew, then it would be even more real and she could no longer deny it.

It wasn’t until it was too late that her fears were realized. Jeremy was gone now. Jeremy was not ready for a relationship so soon after his wife and son had died. She was hurt, there was no doubt. She would be hurt for a while. There was no magical fix for it. She wasn’t just going to imagine that she felt happy and it would happen. She was going to have to deal with the pain. It wasn’t easy on her. She was already stressed out all of the time. She was already worried about spending enough time with Evan and now she had to get a new body guard and she had to get a babysitter or something. She was going to have to do so much more now that he was gone. Well, as far as the babysitter went she was sure that Marcus would be more than happy to do so. She didn’t like asking for things from him. She didn’t like him to know that she couldn’t do everything on her own. She didn’t know what it was about asking him for help that she didn’t like, but she couldn’t help it.

Now, though, she knew she was going to need some help. She knew she couldn’t do this on her own and at this point she really didn’t have many people to ask. A lot of her friends had moved on with their families and their lives and here she was, a single mother still living in the same place. Granted, it was a great place, but she felt so behind her clan. She heard a car pulling up and just assumed it was the mailman bringing her some mail. She was expecting something, so she got up, Evan on her hip, to go and get the mail when he brought it to the door. She flung the door open and something very different was waiting for her. Jack Bailey. Really? Jack fucking Bailey. She didn’t know what to say. She didn’t know what to do. She was happy, she really was, but all she managed to do was start to cry.


i'll make it pretty later

He didn’t seem like someone who was a completely douchebag, but a part of him feared Holly was officially a single mother with no support. On the other hand, however, he saw her as a lucky girl who would find a way no matter what. And if she didn’t, she would still be smiling. She was one of those rare girls he never saw cry. He did speak too soon when he saw the tears in her eyes only seconds he laid eyes on her. He had been smiling when he looked at her, but her unexpected reaction to seeing Jack had the smile whip from his face, bringing him back to the reality that he had zoned out from for a second. He was actually zoned out enough to not even notice the baby held at her hip. ”Oh gawd.” Jack’s eyes went back up at the girl who didn’t look as happy to see him as he thought she would. ”No…” No? No what? It was the first thing to come out of his mouth, because he couldn’t think of what else to say. It had Jack wondering what he did to upset her. His mind went back to the last time they saw each other. He would never forget her kindness when she flew out to “take care” of him after he had been beaten to practically a pulp while he was on set with the movie that he produced by an ungrateful bastard that he hired and whose checks he signed every other week. But this wasn’t about that. It was about how Holly was there for him when everyone else—even his own girlfriend and ex-wife—hated his guts. Jack wanted to make some goofy comment about how he never thought a girl would look at his pretty face and actually cry, but he didn’t. He was just scared. Tears frightened him to no end. ”Don’t cry! Just tell me you don’t want me here, I can take it.” His eyes went back to the little guy who Jack had only seen in the pictures and couldn’t help but smile, even though this was really no time to be smiling. It was probably the first time he smiled while seeing a girl cry. Jack couldn’t handle tears. He usually panicked. He knew he made girls cry all the time in the days of his excessive manwhoreness, but he never found himself having to face those tears because he would already have bolted because he could see them. It was easy breaking a heart…not so easy seeing tears. Probably explains why he’s so comforting all the time. It hurts him inside seeing a girl cry and when Holly did it, it hit him right in the chest, but just a glimpse of the image in front of him had him assuming that even though there were tears, nothing was really wrong. They sure as hell didn’t look like tears of joy to him, though. It was probably why he took a step back and stopped smiling at Evan. ”I’ll leave. Just...” Just what? Don’t cry? Yeah, he already said that. That’s all he really wanted. For someone who didn’t deserve any complications, Holly needed to get rid of whatever upset her. It was obvious this time around that thing was Jack. ”We’ll talk later.” Jack promised before taking a few more steps backing away from her front door.
