Calum's POV

Right after dropping Dylan at school, I immediately went at the restaurant that I am managing for years now, the one that Dad gave me before. I can say that I am pretty proud of the restaurant's standings, it is famous here in New York, a lot of people love the food we serve.

I parked at the front and headed straight at the restaurant's entrance, I looked around and a familiar hair caught my attention.

"Harry!" I called and he turned, smiled when he saw me.

I walk to him and he stood up when I stop few steps from him.

"What's up?" I asked. "How are you?"

"Just got back from London yesterday." Harry answers as we both sit down.

Just like Luke, Harry left for London a month after the tragic incident that changed our lives altogether.

"Welcome back to New York then." I smiled. "Do you wanna order anything?"

"Yeah, sure."

I called the waiter to hand Harry the menu and let him choose.

"Give me the bestseller." Harry tells the waiter and he nodded.

"So, how is London?" I ask.

"Fantastic." Harry answers. "It made me forget all the things that happened."

"I'm glad about that." I smiled.

"How is Luke and Mikey?"

"Luke is still in Japan." I sighed. "And Mikey is back at his Game Store business."

"Really?" Harry asked. "Well that is good for Mikey. I hope Luke comes back here soon."

"Yeah, me too."

Silence filled the air for a moment. Until I decided to speak up again.

"Do you wanna meet my son, Dylan?" I asked then Harry's expression shifted.

"You have a son?" He asked, the surprise and disbelief is on his face.

"I just told you a while ago "my son", didn't I?" I sarcastically answered.

"So, you got a new girlfriend or wife?"

"He is adopted." I say. "Just don't tell him or I'll kill you."

"Okay, okay." Harry chuckled.

"He is four years old." I say.

"Well, let me meet that kid of yours." Harry smiled.

"Okay then, I'll pick him up later at school."

Then, Harry's order came in and he munched it. I can say that he liked our bestseller as well. After watching Harry eat with a drink beside me, we decided to go somewhere. Back at the place where the incident happened before.

We want back at the place where the parking building stood before. It is now abandoned, some parts of the building still on the place.

Harry and I stood the are where the entrance of the building is, looking as if it is still there.

The building burned down before. I am not mad for Jack at hitting me with his gun when I tried to run back into the burning building. I understand that he just don't want me to die or get hurt or whatever, I get it.

***Flashback***

"Why the fuck did you do that?!" I yelled at Jack.

Jack and I are here at my room. He visited me days after the incident.

"I did it to save you." Jack simply answered.

"I can save them, Jack." I say. "But you didn't let me." I cried.

I took my gaze from Jack down to my floor.

"I lost them, Jack." I say. "I lost my family."

Silence filled the room, all I can hear is my heart thumping from my chest.

"You can blame me for that, Cal." Jack broke the silence. "I know I should've let you go back, but I can't risk it."

"I don't blame you, Jack." I say, unsure of the words that I just said.

"I'm sorry that it ended this way, Calum." Jack tells me. "I really am."

"Just go, Jack." I say.

"Sorry, Cal." He says again. "I'm really sorry." He added.

I can feel Jack's sincerity. I can feel his concern and everything, but I can't take it, I can't take it for now. Maybe in the future, I can fully accept his apology. I don't blame him at anything, or maybe I am, I'm just too tired to think of it and to admit that I am blaming one of my closest friends for what happened.

And just like that, Jack left me on my room.

***End of flashback***

"Do you know how are the Hustlers?" I ask Harry.

"I have no idea, Cal." Harry answers. "Are you ready to contact them again?"

Harry know how I feel towards Jack. Am I ready to see them? To see Jack again? It's been 4 years, I never heard anything from them since then.

"Do you think they'll wanna see me?" I ask Harry.

"Why not?" He asked back. "They're your friends after all."

"What if they hate me for hating Jack before?"

"That was the past, Cal." Harry tells me. "We can solve this out, don't worry."

"I hope so." I say before pulling my phone out from my pocket to check the time. "Time to pick up my kid." I announced.

"I'm excited to meet Dylan." Harry tells me.

"Let's go then."

Harry and I parked our cars in front of Dylan's preschool. I miss my kid already, one of the people who keeps me sane and on track is him.

"Daddy!" I heard Dylan's voice and saw him running towards us.

"Hi, kiddo." I greeted as he stop in front of me.

"Hi, Dylan." Harry greeted and my son looked at him.

"Hi, Mr. Long Hair." Dylan greeted Harry back, causing for me and Harry to laugh a little.

"I like your kid, Cal." Harry tells me.

"I like your hair too." Dylan smiled at Harry.

I picked up Dylan and carried him.

"He is your Uncle Harry." I tell him.

"Ohhhh." Dylan trailed.

"Give him a hi-5, kiddo." I say and Dylan raised his hand and hi-5d with Harry.

"I'm Dylan Blake!" He cheerfully tells Harry.

"And I am your Uncle Harry." Harry smiled.

"Okay then, let's go home and have something to eat."

Jason's POV

I went out of the house and headed straight at the mafia house I own here at Stratford. Yes, I am still at the mafia world, I did not leave that industry, I just can't. Because my whole life revolves around it, and I dropped out from school, so I kinda doubt that I will get a stable job. And same office routine is fucking boring, get what I mean?

I entered the house to be welcomed by my right hand, Marco. If I am in New York, I let Marco run the things in here, but still with my permission of course.

"Are the drugs in?" I ask him before lighting up a cigarette.

"Yeah. The deal is also set with the group who is buying it."

"Good." I say before blowing out the smoke.

The mafia society here in Stratford is different from New York, I'd say that it is more fun, exciting and thrilling in New York. It is boring here in Stratford, but I have no choice but to stay away from New York, and there are money in here as well, so I guess it is not bad after all.

I spent a few more hours in the mafia house before going back home to pick up Daine so we can go get Jade from school.

"I'm back!" I announced as I enter our house. "Daine?" I called.

I got no answer but I heard some footsteps from the second floor, so I decided to go up. As I reached the top of the staircase, I looked at the hallway and saw that the door of our room is open. I walked to the open door to see her there cleaning up the room, her hair up in a messy bun. And I see that she has her earphones on, the reason why she didn't hear my call from downstairs.

I slowly walked up to her with a little smile drawn on my lips. I hugged her from behind, causing for her to jolt a little. She turned to me with a smile as she removed the earphones from her ears.

"Hey." She greeted.

"Hi, baby." I saw before kissing her forehead, not minding even though it is a bit sweaty. "Time to get Jade from school."

"Yeah, okay." She says. "Let me dress up for a while."

"Where is Cam?"

"He went out right after dropping Jade at school."

"Oh."

I watched Daine as she walk to the closet to get some clothes.

"Ehem." She fake coughed.

"What?"

"I am gonna dress up." She tells me. "So get your butt out of the room." She turns to me.

"Whaaaaat?" I jokingly whined.

"Come on, Jason." Daine chuckled.

"Just in case you forgot, I am your boyfriend." I chuckled.

"I know that." She says. "Now, shoo."

"No." I say before walking up to her.

"No!" She chuckled before running away.

I ran after her and laughter filled the second floor of our house.

"Gotcha!" I say as I got her by the arm and pull her to me. She shrieked a little for a second before laughing again.

I pulled her closer to me by her waist. She is everything that I want, I know she is not for me, I know I'm not the one that should be hugging her like this and making her happy, it should be him.

"I love you." I whispered to her ear.

"I love you too." She answers, making my heart skip a beat.

I let her go and she faced me. Her smile never fails to light up my mood.

"Let's go get Jade." I say and she nodded.
