Paul was sat on the floor in his closet, he couldn't remember how long he'd been here for, the moment he heard his parents come in he quickly found somewhere to hide. Lately it was the same thing every night he may have only been ten but he knew what was happening. His Dad was having an affair with a younger woman, and it seemed as though his Mother had found out. Paul could hear his Mother screaming at his Father, he shut his eyes tightly hoping to block everything out, he hated his parents fighting he wished they could be happy again, tears blurred his vision as he tried so desperately not to cry. Paul rested his head on his arm all he could do was wait. Finally after a few minutes he heard the voices die down, followed by the slamming of the kitchen door, someone must have gone he wondered who.

"Paul"

Paul remained silent he didn't want to face his Father right now, he could hear footsteps they where getting a lot closer to him.

The bedroom door opened his Father glanced around the room, it was so quiet he sighed before opening the closet. Paul was on the floor with his hands covering his face, he kneeled down and pulled his Son in for a hug. He knew he had been crying he could feel the wetness seep through his shirt.

"Where's Mom?" Asked Paul

"She's just gone out for something" Said Randy (A/N not Orton lol) clutching onto his Son, he knew his wife wasn't coming back she was leaving him, if Paul had been at his Grandparents she would have no doubt packed her things and gone. Randy had found someone else, he had fallen out of love with his wife she had found out and wanted nothing to do with him.

Seven years later………

"Paul" Shouted Randy from the bottom of the stairs it was 7:30am and time for Paul to go to school it was the first day back after the holidays. Paul crawled out of bed and grabbed a pair of jeans and a polo shirt, he went downstairs and sat at the kitchen table he snarled at his soon to be Stepmother Stephanie. Paul hated her she was the reason his parents divorced seven years ago she was the other woman, she had recently moved in with him and his Father, since they where getting married soon she thought it would be wonderful for them to all live together first. Stephanie had brought her Son from her other relationship with her Kurt he was 15. Paul didn't exactly get on with him he was probably the most annoying person he'd met, yet his Father seemed to favor him for some reason, maybe it was because of his brains, Paul wasn't the brightest in his class then again the Teachers didn't seem to care.

"Here's your breakfast Paul" Smiled Stephanie

Paul half smiled before taking his folk it actually looked quite nice, he watched her make her way back to the kitchen, she was only in a black silky robe that barely covered her long legs, the last thing he needed was evil thought's about Stephanie his soon to be stepmother. He quickly looked back at his breakfast before sticking his folk in the fluffy egg; it looked quite nice actually as long as she didn't poison it. Paul could feel a pair of eyes on him he slowly looked up it was his soon to be Stepbrother Kurt; he was smiling at him clutching his books tightly.

"Hey Paul" Said Kurt balancing his books

"Hey" Said Paul

"So….are you ready for the new term it's going to be great isn't it"

Paul looked up from his breakfast in disbelief then again his Kurt was a bit geeky, he knew he would have to leave him alone but he wasn't sure Shawn would be able to.

"Sure" Said Paul

"Kurt have you had enough to eat?" Smiled Stephanie giving him a kiss on the cheek

"Yeah Mom"

"Great well once Paul is ready you can both get going" Said Stephanie

"We" Asked Paul dropping his folk

"Yes didn't Stephanie tell you since its Kurt's first day we thought you could show him around" Said Randy coming through to the kitchen

"I usually give Shawn a ride" Said Paul though deep down relieved, the last thing he needed was to show his Stepbrother around Shawn would never let him live it down.

"Well I'm sure just for today you can give Kurt a ride as well" Said Randy staring at him "Remember it's his first day"

Paul really didn't want to but what choice did he have, if he didn't say yes his Dad would take the car off him or worse make him get the Bus. Everyone was watching him now it was a no win situation, he got up and grabbed his leather jacket he really didn't have any other choice.

"Ok let's go" Sighed Paul

Kurt quickly followed behind him he placed his books down and grabbed his coat and bag. Kurt zipped his coat up to the top and put his arms through the straps of his bag; he quickly grabbed his books and ran to Paul's car.

"Alright get in" Said Paul holding the door open, Kurt smiled he doesn't understand why Paul is so moody all the time, it seems every time he tried to make an effort Paul shot him down. Kurt thought maybe it was because Paul was jealous of him; it was a known fact that Kurt was the smart one in the family. He got the high grades though it was only because he studied and worked hard, Paul didn't put much effort into school it's like he didn't care about getting a good education.

Stephanie was in the shower after everyone had left it was her time to relax, she only worked part time in a convenience store from 3-8, she grabbed some shampoo from the shelf and began rubbing it into her scalp, it smelled of strawberries as she inhaled in the sweet scent. She went underneath the shower head rinsing away the shampoo from her hair. Stephanie turned the shower off and grabbed a towel from the towel rack, she stepped out the shower and covered her body, she grabbed another towel for her damp hair. Before she could begin drying herself off she heard the phone ring, she quickly headed downstairs to answer it.

"Hello"

"Hello could I speak to a Mr. or Mrs. Levesque it's the school principal"

"He's at work right now but I'm one of his guardians" Said Stephanie

"Well I'd like one of you come down to the school, it's Paul he was caught smoking in the boys bathroom" Explained the principal

"Oh…..I'll be there as soon as I can"

"Ok thank you" Said the principal

Stephanie put the phone down and headed back upstairs to change, she couldn't believe Paul had done this it certainly wasn't a first, all through High school he'd been getting into trouble. She wondered if he could behave himself it was incidents like this that made her doubt him, she finished getting dressed and grabbed the car keys. Randy had left the car for her today which was a good thing, since she would now have to get lectured about not being able to control her stepson, soon to be stepson she hoped he'd calm down once she married his Father, though something was telling her that wouldn't be the case, as a matter of fact she had a feeling things would get a lot worse from now on.

A/N I chose Kurt to be Stephanie's Son because they look as though they could be Mother and Son.
