Tell The Hurt And Sorrow [Kids]

[Jack Clark]

[/b][/colour] She asked him nudging her head into her pillow. Sighing a little Jack gave her a faint smile back. "Shes gone away to stay with her friends for a while, she'll be back soon... You just get some sleep alright. Your not very well and you need it." He told her, his lips pressed together into a faint smile. Leaning down Jack kissed her fore head gently, bringing the cover as far up to her shoulders before leaving the room.

"Now to tell them the complete story..." He muttered shunting down the steps and into the front room, Harl and Ash watching t.v. Jack shook his head, blowing out his breath slowly he sat down onto the poof in front of them. "I have to tell you guys some thing, about your mother and me. But I don't want you to get upset okay."[/ul][/size]

[Harley Clark]

[/i] They had been sitting on that sat in the light breeze for almost half an hour before there dad had arrived, pulling into the drive way. "Bout bloody time," he muttered as they stood. There bags placed into the boot and them selfs placed into the car.

It was short drive back before they were home, getting out of the car and then walking into the house. Harley went into the front room along with Ashlyn sitting down onto the sofa, turning on the T.V flicking through the channels. Ash then got up and went into the kitchen for a glass of water, bringing it back into the front room she sat back down next to Harley and said. "Mother isn't in the kitchen, nor any where, where I can see"[/colour] she told him looking up at his face. Harley then looked around the room, through the open planned rooms, looking as far as he could see. Shrugging lightly he said. "I don't know?" Another Small shrug fell upon them, "Maybe shes shopping?" He suggested.

Turning back to the T.V Ash gave a small shrug also. Hearing foot steps and murmuring from the stair case. As there father walked in Harley frown when he sat in front of them blocking the television. His next few words scared Harley. Not another mother, I can't lose another mother. He thought looking back up at Jack. "Dad? What have you done?" He asked him.

Ash'es face filling with worry as he hand followed through Harley's crossed arms holding his hand tightly for a moment or two before holding it loosely. "Where's mother?"[/colour] She asked him abruptly, almost butting into Harley's sentence.

The two teenagers both took a deep breath in at the same time waiting for there fathers response.[/ul][/size]

[Jack Clark]

[/i] He thought taking, once again, a take breath in.

His fingers twirling with in them selfs as he looked down to there feet. "Um your mother isn't going to be home for a while, shes gone to stay with a friend for a little bit." He told them. His courage still not enough to tell them how much more he needed to tell them. Jack knew Dillon wouldn't understand so that story would just work with her, but with the older two. Jack knew he had to tell them the truth and the whole truth.

Come on Jack just say the word just say you cheated, you deserve what ever is coming to you! He thought to himself looking back into there twinkling eyes. "Because I cheated....." He trailed of waiting for there reaction. But after a few moments nothing they hadn't moved nor flinched.

"Say some thing.." He pleaded with them. "You do know I'm sorry right?" He asked them, his breathing becoming slightly un easy again, not only because of the water that filled his lungs.[/ul][/size]

[Harley Clark]

[/i] He thought, but moving his mouth into movements for words was impossible. He couldn't do it, nothing would come out. Every time Harley tried to speak, as small sigh would fall in stead. His hand gripping Ash'es as tight as he could master. "Thanks for telling us dad. And not lying..." He whispered after a few moments.

Ash sighed fearing some thing like this would happen, she had been fearing it for a while as they were going through a rough patch. Not that they would both think that, but It was obvious by the way they acted, by the way they no longer talk to each other about there problems and solved them together. Mother where are you? She sobbed in her thoughts, Ash picked up Harley's arms and wrapped them around her self leaning her head onto his chest a tear falling down her painted pale check. "Mother isn't going to come back is she?" Ash asked Jack. She didn't want to fight, she hated fighting.

Harley wrapped his arms around Ash tightly kissing her hair softly, laying one side of his face onto it. "Dad?" Harley asked her. "Why did you cheat? And who did you cheat with?" Ash nodded to what Harley said in agreement but couldn't say, 'Yes! Who the hell would you cheat on mother with?' But she didn't she simply closed her eyes and pushed her nose into Harley's chest.[/ul][/size]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] Jack said back standing up and beginning to pace slowly up and the down the sofa line in front of them another sigh running through his teeth.

Jack watched Ashlyn wanting to go close to her, but decided not to. Knowing that she was like her mother, she would probably push his arms away, then give back there love in a former, but for Ash to do that. She would have to give back the pendant from around her neck, the necklace Jack had brought her when she was nine, and has never taken it off since. Gripping the chain around his neck Jack held it tightly in one hand. "I don't know Ash. She didn't seem to want to, she didn't seem to care to wish to come back any more Hun." He told her truthfully, from what he saw.

"Yes son?" Jack asked back in reference to his 'Dad' comment. Hearing what Harley asked him Jack looked back down to the floor quickly shaking his head gently. Just tell them.. Your going to have to sooner or later! His thoughts shouted at him. TELL THEM! the shouted again. Fine.. He muttered back. "Um well as you know me and your mother were going through a hard time, so I found comfort in some else. Some one from work." He told them, bitting his lower lip hard as to keep back the name of the teacher he had cheated with. "I'm pretty sure you can work out who it was.." He told them beginning to pass again, bringing one hand up to his fore head scratching it gently.[/ul][/size]

[Harley Clark]

[/b] He said in a hushed tone, not trying to tell him off or any thing but just to tell him that, it wasn't any thing to be proud of. Harley still couldn't believe his ears, not that he would show it, he was just like his father in that respect, very good at hiding things. A hand running through his black placing it back onto her head stroking her hair gently.

Ash moved a hand up to her necklace, just remembering bout it, bout how ever much he had done Ash couldn't take it off how ever much she may of wanted to, Jack was her father and she was going to stick by him no matter what. After all she would only have on father, but then again she was able to have fights with her father and not lose him right? "And It's your fault she doesn't want to come. It's your fault that I'm not gonna have my mother or father back together again. It's your fault dad, your fault." She told him, the last repeat in almost a whisper. His eyes beginning to cry gently, her breathing jiggering between soft cries.

Harley nodded to Jack, Finally realized that did you? Dam took you long enough dad, I thought me and Ash where going to have to poke you to death to believe it! He thought, his thoughts beginning to make him angrier. When Jack had said that he had found comfort with some one else Harley took a death breath in wanting to scream at him. "But you should of found comfort In Isabella!" He shouted at Jack slightly.

Raising an eye brow at him Harley thought he worked out who it might of been. "Please say It's wasn't Mrs. Slayter, please say it was Shelby" he pleaded with Jack. Harley knew what she or what Ruby had done to his, would have been half brother Rayden, but the thought of His father and her made Harley wanted to punch a wall made Harley want to scream once again. Ash sighed hearing what Harley had said squeezing him slightly more when he had said Shelby, she had nothing against her it was just the fact that Ash didn't like knowing that her farther had been with her teacher!

[Jack Clark]

[/i] he sighed slightly. Another small sigh escaped Jack's lips looking to the floor taking in a deeper breath. "I know princess. And I'm sorry but you can go and visit her where ever she is okay.." He told her, another small sigh passing his lips.

Not that Bella could have the kids if she left him for good. She didn't have a job, nor would she get one with there child on the way. So Jack would have full custody of all of the kids, maybe even there un-born son? Depends on what the courts would say, if she would take him to court that is?

Jack looked back up at Harley, wanting to shout back but knowing hat was out of the question. "I know Harl. Okay I know, I should have found comfort in her, that's one of the reason's it stopped. I couldn't do it any more." He told them, his lower lip threatening to terrible. Well that and the fact she's leaving me for my dam cousin! He thought his head starting to throb slightly.

Jack started to pace once again sighing with in a breath. "I'm so sorry." He whispered shaking his head a little bit. What are they gonna think of me now? He thought stopping in front of them bitting his lower lip, waiting for what ever they had to throw at him.

[Ashlyn Clark]

[/b] The questions just flowed from her mouth before she could even think to ask them.

She took a breath and settled deeper into Harley's arm. Ash tried to fight back the urge of storming out and just going into her room for a few hours. Dad needed her now. She didn't want to leave him. "Why did she just leave us?" Yeah, why did she just abandon them like that? It was mean, no, heartless to leave your own kids. So thats what her mother was now, heartless. Now that she looked at it differently she didn't want to go see her mother. As long as she still had her dad...

"I don't want to see her." Ash whispered and looked back at her dad. "Your not going to go to leave us either, are you daddy?" She asked, panic rising in her. "Leave us for someone else?" She knew that Harley felt the same way towards her mother as she did so at least she would have Harley if her dad decided to leave too. Her heart ached at the thought of it.[/size][/ul]

[Harley Clark]

[/b] Harley asked him. "Why?" He then began to shout. This was the thing with Harley when he lost his temper he lost it, far to much like his father! "Why would you do this? How could you do this? Why her?" He shouted a little more, moving his arms around Ash tighter trying to steady out his breathing wanting to cry, shout, scream, leave, hit. But doing nothing he just sat there looking back to the floor.

"What about Rayden?" He asked his father. "Do you not care that she did some thing to my brother, that she killed him!" Another shout falling from Harley's lips.[/ul]
[/size]

[Jack Clark]

[/b] He told them.

Jack didn't know how close they were but knew some thing was going, the way Tri talked about Bell to him made him mad and angry. But never showed, never said any thing. Bitting his lower lip once again Jack asked Ash. "Will you please just talk to her for me Ash. After all I'm the one you should be angy with not your mum." He asked her.

Shaking his head to her with a small smile Jack laughed a little more. "No I would never do that. I would always fight to be with all of you." Jack told her another small smile creeping onto his lips. His teeth beginning to bite the inside of his cheek.

Jack's head looked up to Harley. "Harley Wyatt Clark do not shout at me. I've put myself through enough as it is. I know what I did wasn't right. and I know what she did you Rayden but it's not happeneing any more so pelase will you just clam down!" He shouted slightly back at him.

Taking in another deep breath Jack shook his head sitting down on the floor looking at them. "What can I do for you to understand what I've done is wrong?" He asked them his red eyes looking back up at them.[/ul][/size]
