Benson Residence
5:30 P.M
I finally came back from church and lunch with dad. Dad dropped me off then left. I went into the house and mom was on the phone as usual. The fridge actually had food in it, for the first time in days. Mom was still putting food away on the phone laughing and smiling. She's been doing this for about 2 months now. I pour myself a cup of lemonade mom made then go to my room. After changing my clothes I decide to get on Yahoo! Messenger. I see robztheman is online, he then sends me and IM.
robztheman-hey
Jaz0n-hey, wu

Jaz0n-yeah, u?
robztheman-im not into girls
Jaz0n-u don't date?
robztheman-im gay dude.
Jaz0n-oh
robztheman-yeah
This is so weird to me, I don't know but this is awkward, I mean I've been dating Maria since the beginning of 7th grade, I didn't think he was gay, I mean there's no problem with it I guess. Robztheman buzzes me and I go back into the IM.
Jaz0n-I g2g I'll be on later.
robztheman-Ok, later.
I sign off. I decide to call my girl. Maria answers and I automatically start blushing.
"Hey Maria."
"Hey Jason," She tells me as she starts giggling. I don't know why girls laugh when you talk to them on the phone.
"What's up babe?"
"Nothing much, I just waiting to Lupe to get off the computer."
"Your sister is addicted to that thing."
"I know, I mean how long does the average person need to be on MySpace?"
"I don't know, the longest I've been on there is half an hour."
"Wow, that's all, Im on there like 2 hours a day, but most of the time deciding layouts."
"You girls drive me crazy with that, you go though like 50 of them before you decide that number one was the one all along."
"I know, it's our job."
"Ha, ha so very funny." I tell her as sarcastically as I can.
"Yeah, ok."
"For real, would I lie to you?"
"No, I hope not or I'll…I don't know."
"Maria, you know me better than that."
"I know Jas, but I don't know."
"Why do we keep saying that?"
"Saying what?"
"I don't know."
"Because we don't know."
"Oh yeah, that makes sense."
"You are so silly, that why I love you Jas."
"Same here, I really love you girl, you make me feel worthwhile."
"Awww, I do. What about your parents?"
"Naw, they don't really care about what I do, only when I mess up."
"Oh, I'm so sorry Jason."
"It's not your fault."
"Jason, if you want, you can always come over here and hang out if you don't wanna be at home by yourself, I mean the only thing you gotta hear is my dad complain and that's it."
I start to laugh but I don't know why. "That sounds good."
"Really?"
"Yeah, so I'll see if I can go over there Friday.
"Ok, that sounds awesome."
"Ok, uhm and Maria?"
"Yes Jas?"
"I wanna take you on a nice date on Saturday."
"What are we going to do?"
"Dinner, movie and a walk in the park."
"That sounds so romantic."
"It does, so can we do that?"
"Yeah, we can."
"Ok." I start smiling and she starts laughing, again. I don't know. We both hang up and I turn the computer off, I wanna play my Wii now. I start playing my game until mom comes in wearing makeup, high heels and a black strapless dress.
"Jason, I'll be back later, I'm going out with a friend."
"Who's this friend?"
"Ahhh, I'll tell you about it later."
"A guy mom?"
"Yeah, listen I would really appreciate it if you don't tell your father."
"Why?"
"Because Jas, I don't dig into your father's personal life, and I really like this guy and I don't what anything, or anybody to mess this up. This is the first relationship I've had in a while. I've been single about most of my life; please let this man make me happy."
"Ok mom."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome." Mom closes my door then leave out. Great now my mom is dating. Not only that but I don't even know who the dude it. I hope it's not one of my teachers, or anyone of my friend's dad. I hate this. My hope for my parents getting married and having a little brother and sister is gone. I hate this again. Why did I tell mom about what Gary did to me? I'd rather be there, at least the both of them were home, and it was an actual family, not my nonspeaking relatives, but a loving caring family. Mom should have just aborted me when she had the chance. If I had to describe my life in one word it would be hell. I don't belong here, I should of never of happened. I start going downstairs to make myself a sandwich, when the phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Jason, is your mom home?"
I can tell its dad. Mom told me not to tell him I don't know. "No dad, did you call her on the cell?"
"Yeah, I didn't get an answer."
"Oh."
"Do you know where she could be at?"
"No, she just left out."
"Oh, want me to swing by there and pick you up, we can go see a movie?"
"Sure ok."
7:45 P.M
Showplace 16
Dad and I finally arrived at the movies. Dad said earlier this was one of the things he wanted to do with me, is spend more time together. He gets our movie tickets for Meet the Spartans and I start buying our snacks. We start going into the theater when I see mom and this guy hugging each other and him holding her hand. Dad comes up behind me and watched along with me.
"Whose that Jas?"
"I don't know dad."
Dad starts walking towards mom I follow along behind him so that he doesn't make a fool out of his self. Dad "accidentally" knocked into her date.
"My bad."
"Its not….,"Mom says before she looks at me and dad.
"Olivia, who is this?"
"Ahhh, Elliot this is…………….."

A/N: Just to make things clear, Olivia and Elliot were never married. I'm sorry it took me a long time to update. But I'm working on chapter 3. I know cliffhanger, how evil of me. Who do you think it is?
