In My Darkest HourJon sat at the phone, trying to contact Brianna via FaceTime, but she wasn't answering. It was Angel's birthday, so he expected her to leave him there for at least his seventh birthday. “One last time,” he said to himself after probably the hundredth time. Finally someone answered, and it wasn't Brianna. instead, it was Angel. "Happy birthday, darling," he said with a smile. Angel smiled back then called Brianna on the phone. “I'm talking to dad,” she said, hoping they would get back together. Instead, her mother stared blankly at the television screen in front of her. He turned his attention back to Jon and frowned. "Mom is throwing a party for me, and it will start later today. There will only be a few people, but I don't care" Jon nodded and opened his mouth to speak, but quickly closed it when he realized this was the case. that wouldn't be a smart idea. On the other hand, he had nothing to lose. “It… can I talk to your mother?” She nodded before placing the phone in Brianna's hands and sitting next to her. Brianna didn't say anything; all she did was stare at him through the phone, wishing he were dead. It was obvious that he would say something, so he took the initiative to speak first. "How do you feel?" Nothing. "Anything new?" Nothing. “Did you—” before he could say anything else, Brianna cut him off, tired of hearing it. "Jon, I don't want to talk to you, and I don't think I ever will. You cheated on me because you thought I was doing the same thing while I was in a mental hospital. How could I ever forgive you?" She stared at the phone, tears falling from her eyes as the memory returned. "Say goodbye to Angel, I don't want to hear your voice anymore," he said bitterly in front... in the center of the paper... in his face. She wasn't finished, but Luke restrained her before she did any serious damage. "You never say that, especially to my daughter. Do you have any idea how hard I've worked to try to change my life?" "Change? Painkillers and heroin say otherwise." He looked at Ariel, who had a worried expression. "Your free time will have to be cut short, darling. I don't want you around these people anymore." With that, he left the house with Ariel. Angel was visibly upset, and Brianna started to feel a little guilty. "Other people will come, don't worry," he said, patting her on the shoulder. He turned his attention back to Luke and frowned. "If anyone else wants to supervise and is like her, I want you to just let me say hello and then force me to go to my room," she ordered, allowing Luke to see how angry she was..
