He couldn't believe this was happening. "There was someone else," rang in his ears. How could Scotty do this to him? They were supposed to be forever and Scotty went and ruined it all. Kevin closed his eyes and replayed what had happened only an hour before in his head:

"Kevin, say something." Scotty said.

Kevin looked at Scotty blankly, trying to take in what was just said.

"Kevin?" Scotty whispered, placing a hand over Kevin's.

Kevin flinched and jerked his hand away. "Don't. touch. Me," he said, icily.

"I am so sorry, Kevin! I…"

"Just stop! Stop! How could you, Scotty?"

"I just…"

"No. Don't. I'm going to my mom's." With that, Kevin stood up and went to his bedroom to get some his things, while Scotty watched him go.

Tears ran down Kevin's cheeks which he tried brushing away with one hand, the other on the steering wheel. Finally, he reached Nora's and parked in the driveway. He folded down the overhead mirror and attempted to make himself look more presentable. Then he killed the ignition and got out of his car.

Nora was in the living room, reading a book. "Mom?" somebody called.

"In here, Kevin!" she called back, eyes still on her book.

Kevin appeared in the doorway and cleared his throat. Nora looked up. "Hey sweetie, what brings you here?"

"I-I'm sorry, I know it's late."

"Oh, never mind that. You know you're always welcome here, any time."

Kevin nodded. "Yeah, I know."

"So what brings you here?"

"I just…" Kevin began and then he suddenly fell to his knees, sobbing.

"Oh, God, Kevin! What is it?" Nora asked, getting up from the couch. She walked over to Kevin and took her son into her arms. Sobs wracked Kevin's body and he clutched to his mother like a child after waking from a nightmare. "Shh, shh, it's okay," Nora soothed. Nora rocked Kevin back and forth for a few minutes until his sobs subsided. Then she pulled away and looked him in the eyes. "What's wrong Kevin? Did you and Scotty have a fight?" Kevin nodded. "Well I'm sure you guys will figure it out! You've both been through a lot together," Nora began but stopped as Kevin shook his head.

"No, mom…we-we c-can't figure this out."

"But why not? Kevin, you and Scotty are so great together. Whatever it is…"

"Mom! We can't, okay?"

"I just don't understand, Kevin. What is wrong?" Nora asked.

"He-he cheated on me mom! He cheated on me!"
