Chapter 7

Miss Patsy was in her classroom setting up for the day. Chuck arrived holding a piece of paper.

"Hey Miss Patsy," Chuck said handing Miss Patsy the paper.

"What is this?" Miss Patsy asked.

"This a copy of a restraining order Beth and I got for Jacob," Chuck said. "My father, Wade Scolnik must stay 1,760 yards away from Jacob at all times. If he shows up, call the police. He used to beat me when I was a child and I want him to stay away from my son."

"I didn't realize," Miss Patsy said. "I'll make sure he doesn't come near him."

Later, Chuck was walking to Karen's Café.

"A mile?!" a voice shouted.

Chuck looked across the street to see Wade.

"Hello father," Chuck said. "Are you here to see Jacob? Oh yeah, you have to stay a mile away from him."

"This is an all new low for you!" Wade shouted.

Wade started to cross the street.

"Nope!" Chuck said. "You cross that street and you're violating the restraining order I have against you."

"I want to see him!" Wade shouted.

"You should of thought of that before you abused me as a child!" Chuck shouted. "The only way you'll ever see him is in jail when he visits once every 3 years! Now go away before I report you for harassment!"

Later at Chuck's apartment, Chuck and Beth lied in each other's arms under the covers.

"You certainly have a way of saying sorry," Beth said smiling.

"Yeah," Chuck said. "I really am sorry for yelling at you."

"You were upset," Beth said.

"I shouldn't have yelled at you though," Chuck said.

"It's okay," Beth said.

"I love you," Chuck said as he began kissing Beth's neck.

"It's almost 3:00," Beth said. "We really need to go get Jacob."

"Yeah," Chuck said.
