The moment Jack let go of you, he quickly rushed into your bedroom in search of his phone. He was muttering to himself as he searched for it. Once he found it he grabbed your hand and sat both of you down on your small sofa in the living room.

He looked angry and anxious, and it hit you like a ton of bricks when you realized how much this man cared for you. You wanted to cry, and yet this feeling of euphoria overcame your whole being.

His hands shook as he unlocked his phone, the picture of you in his arms burning his eyes from the brightness.

“How bad is it actually, ma?” He asked, as he looked through his contacts, stopping to stare at you. “and tell me the truth.”

You tried to swallow the lump in your throat, and you felt your heart skip several beats as your thoughts berated you for being so careless around Jack and the consequences that will follow.

“It wasn’t that bad Jack, I promise,” you started but he quickly interrupted you with a scoff.

“Not that bad? Ma, I only heard a minute of that conversation, and in those-“ Now you, interrupted him.

“They’re the reason I’m actually successful in life Jack!” You felt like you were about to explode, years of bottled up emotions scratching the surface. And it wouldn’t be pretty.

“They’re the reason I can afford food on my table and pay the bills for my family back home!” You were yelling now, “without them I am nothing!” Your sobs filled the silence that followed as Jack stared at you with wide eyes.

He realized how tightly they had you wrapped around their finger.

He sighed and grabbed your hands, “ma,” his voice broke and his eyes were starting to burn from unshed tears. “You are everything, to me. I love you with every cell of my being, fuck, even Urban talks about how he’d beat anyone who looks at you the wrong way.” You both were crying now. This wasn’t the way Jack imagined confessing his love to you, but he didn’t care.

“I will be here every step of the fucking way, even if you don’t want it, ma” You could only manage to nod you head. You didn’t have to say it back, he could see the love you held in your eyes for him.

He cupped your face, his thumb delicately rubbing your cheek, “I will fix this, I promise.”

And he kept his word. He hired the best lawyer he could get his hands on and within two months the lawyer managed to find a loophole in the contract and terminated it.

A small weight had been lifted off your chest, even though your management was now a figment of the past, the damage they’ve done was still there.

You found yourself waking up in the middle of the night, hands shaking and tears streaming down your face, but you weren’t alone. Jack would hold you in his arms and whispered reassuring words as you slowly drifted off to sleep.

You went to therapy twice a week to silence the voice in your head and you hired an actual dietitian who helped you better your relationship with food. And with every milestone, Jack was there, cheering you on.

And after a year it happened; both yours and Jacks faces covered in mushed avocado, despite his complaints to wear a skin mask. The night was filled with kisses and soft touches. And when the clock hit twelve, he knelt down on one knee, and in his hands a ring box.

“Will you make me the happiest man on this planet, ma?”
