Chapter 1: a house divided

In a bed, inside of a small room, inside of a small house, in the outskirts, there was a young, blue eyed, blonde boy, crying silently in the darkness of the four corners he called room, sobbing at his parents arguments, which became more and more loud every time, at the end of them, both his mom and dad ended up with scratches, punches, slaps, and every time they ended, one of them left the house, this time it was his mom.

Shamefully, and lip blooded, his father came in, instantly he took eat beside his son, and pulled him in a tight, warmth embrace, tears were falling on his face and with a shattered voice, he whispered into his son's ears.

- I know, you're tired of this – he explained – but it'll be over soon, I promise –

-You mean… - he asked, staring at his eyes with an infinitely sad face.

He just simply nodded; this proceeded with the young boy, letting out his sorrows in his father's chest.

In another place, on the driveway, a blonde woman in a van, tried to reach her destination, without crashing because of her anger, she took her cell phone and dialed the same number that put both her and her husband in that kind of predicament, she was biting her nails, until someone answered.

-Hello? - A male voice answered

- I need to stay at your place for the night – she sighed - …again-

-Don't tell me you got into a fight with him again –

- Yes, but this time, was the last –

- What about your son? –

- I don't know, he didn't allowed me to see him –

- What are you going to tell him? –

- I don't know – she sighed, again – probably, he's telling him the truth right now –

- Were you planning lying to him?-

No, but, I was going to make it softer –

- There's no way that is ever going to be soft, especially at his age –

-I know, but he'll just make to the idea –

- You sure?-

-No, I'm not even sure if it's the best thing to do, but, we have to do something about it –

-I need to talk to you too –

-There's something wrong?-

-I'm afraid so – he answered, with concern – I'll give you more details when you arrive –

And with that the conversation was over.

Back to the house, the blond was back on his mind, his father gave him a very long speech, about his and his mother's situation, and then he left, currently, the blond was talking with his best friend trough the phone.

-Oh…- his friend's voice wasn't so cheery at the time – I'm sorry max –

- It's okay, ty – he tried to convince himself about that – it's no one's fault, my dad explained to me, and I just have to make myself to the idea –

- You're so strong, to take it with such maturity –

- Tell me about it- he forced himself to a smile – at the beginning, I was so scared, and sad too, but now, that I come to think of it, it's better this way –

- It is?-

-Yeah, cause this way, they wont need to rip each other inside out, and it's not like one of them it's going to stop loving me or care for me, so, everyone is happy –

- What about you?-

-What do you mean?-

-are you sure you're going to be happy after this? –

-Well…- he let a single tear out – I'll just do my best. –

-Okay…if you think so –

-Yeah-

-What about your mom?-

-I don't know, she usually leaves for the night and gets back in the morning, then, she and my dad just hug it out, but now, I just don't know-

-hmm, I got to go now, but we'll talk in the morning, okay? –

- Sure thanks, bye-

Truth was, he really didn't know, what was going to happen with his mom?, Or with his family?, Will things be the same after that?, all those thoughts confused him, but one thing was as clear as water, something was going to change, drastically.

In another house, on the hills, an older boy was besides his father's bed, shaking him lightly, trying to wake him; his actions seemed to be working, since his father's eyes slowly opened.

-what's wrong?-

-I had a nightmare-

-and, what was it about?-

After the question, his eyes started to get wet.

-don't cry, now tell me –

-…you died –

The answer was beyond strange, but the older man's first reaction was to laugh, out loud, this confused the boy, who in response got a tight hug from his dad.

- I won't go anywhere soon, so don't be afraid, okay?-

- okay- he said, whipping away his tears

- now go back to sleep-

After his son got back to sleep, he received a visitor, the same blonde woman with wich he shared a secret, a secret that broke her family's sanity, a secret that her husband found out the same night she abandoned him and her son, the secret was a very longtime, love adventure.

He received her with a kiss on the lips, then, he asked her to come in.

- I'm going to be honest with you Judy; I'm in trouble right now –

- What do you mean?-

-My father, he's acting strange lately, he's been monitoring me, and I've seen some suspicious man around the house –

- Oh my –

-I need to settle this now, or else, I'm afraid of what's going to happen with me or my son –

- It'll be a shame if something happened to him –

- That's what I wanted to talk to you about, I need you to take care of him, until I got back from fixing this –

- for how long ? –

-I don't know, it might take time, but I really need this favor-

-okay, when are you leaving?-

- Today, right now –

- what?, you want me to stay for the night?, here?, all alone?, without protection?, and with your 15 year old son? -

- no, I need you to take him with you, somewhere else –

-Where?-

- what about your house?-

-are you kidding me?, my husband is not going to allowed me to even enter the house, much less stay in it –

-maybe if you explain him, he'll understand –

-I'll try –

-Thanks –

He grabbed a couple of suitcases, and left, leaving her with instructions and some money, she entered the teen's room, and shaking him lightly.

- hey there – she said, softly – we have to go –

- who are you ? –

- I'll explain everything later, but right now we have to go –

- Where's my dad – he asked, with concern

- like I said , I'll explain later , now get dressed and I'll wait for you outside –

He did what he was told, he found her and then they left in her car, they remained silent, until he spoke.

- who are you?-

- a friend of your dad's, he's going to be out, and he asked me to take you with me –

- where did he go?-

-… Business trip - she hesitated

-and where are we going? –

- my house –

She stopped the car, as she got out, she told him to wait inside, then she called her husband

- hello? –

-hey, its me –

- I thought you said you were never going to talk tome, until the court –

- I know what I said, but I need a favor –

-then why don't you ask him –

-Just let me explain –

After telling him the teen's situation, he hesitated, before agreeing to help the boy; he allowed them to stay in his house until everything was solved, and she would later take the chance to talk to her son.

After they reached the house, the first thing she did, was explain the whole thing to her son, she slowly entered the young boy's room and found him half asleep, this was a very important decision so she decided to explain it to him before something else happened, after a lot of yawning, the boy woke up, and so, it began.

-hi maxie -

-Hi- he answered, rubbing his eyes – what's wrong? –

- I need to tell you something –

- It's about the divorce thing, right?-

-Yes, I want you to understand that…-

-it's okay, I understand- he interrupted her – If you guys don't love each other anymore, then there's no other choice, as long as everything is fine between you two, then I'll go trough it –

-I'm glad you understand, and I want you to know that everything is going to be same; we're not going to stop caring for you, because of this-

- I know – he said, smiling

- there's something else I wanted to talk to you about, it's something a little bit more complicated – she said, turning her attention to the room's door – come in –

As she spoke, the older teen entered the room, and their glances met, the very first impression, the younger boy seemed to be shocked, by what was happening, and the very first words that were spoken between the two, came out of the older teen's mouth.

- Hi…- he said, shyly – I'm kai-.
