The crowd was still quiet and they were looking at Katy and Max. Loren was standing there just at lost for words she did not know that Eddie had been so closed up with everything that had happened to him she really wanted to go and comfort him but she had to let Ian talk with him Melissa was just looking around but after a few minutes she shrugged her shoulders and went back to eating her food. Katy wiped her face and told the crowd that it was time for them to go home. Everyone nodded and understood so they started to leave Max was so upset he did not know what to do so he just walked over to Katy and hugged her. Ian was walking outside and he did not see Eddie so he knew that he might have been in the tree house so he climbed up there and saw him lying in the bed throwing up a baseball.

Ian: what happened in there bro we had a conversation about you being on your best behavior

Eddie: Ian don't you wish we had a perfect family?

Ian: of course Eddie but have you notice no one has a perfect family if they do you should probably be scared because that is rare every family has their ups and downs but at the end of the day they still love each other.

Eddie: you know I want my family to be perfect I want a wife and some kids a nice house and a dog (he laughed) I know that me and her might argue but one thing I won't do is cheat on her Ian I promised myself that because I would not want to put her or our kids in a predicament like that you know. Dad taught me that.

Ian sat by Eddie on the bed: you know I am not mad at the scene that happened back there Eddie but think about how mom just felt she was crying when you left you should have at least thought about her before you decided to have a disagreement with dad

Eddie sighed: seriously? Think about mom Ian she was no better than dad I mean everyone else took care of us and she just brought us thing to keep us quiet.

Ian: Eddie you can't keep holding grudges against everyone mom was there for us occasionally and dad will always be our dad Eddie and he will always do what he wants to do but that is not our decision its mom and if she wants to keep him around then that is what we are going to have to deal with we can't change the past and we can't predict and make our future it is what it is.

Eddie: I know I know Ian (he stared to stand up) I am going to go talk with mom

Ian nodded and followed Eddie to the house. Loren, Mel, Max and Katy were all sitting in the living room quiet no one was saying a word everyone was gone from the party. Loren was twiddling with her thumbs until she looked up and saw Eddie and Ian coming in she felt so bad for him because he was going through so much emotion. Eddie looked at Ian and he decided to walk over to his mom and she stood up and looked at him.

Eddie: mom I am really…..

She just looked at him and slapped him really hard across the face everyone put their head down but Ian took Loren and Melissa in another room.

Katy: I don't want your apology how could you do this to me?

Eddie was rubbing his face and looked up at her: honestly mom what did I do say the truth because that is what you always taught me to do.

Katy: you embarrassed me in front of the whole town by putting my business out there

Eddie: is that all you cared about is what people think of you or us the family? You never ever cared about how me and Ian felt when dad did this to you not only did it affect you but it also affected us and all your worrying about is being embarrassed in front of people who don't give a damn about you

Katy: don't you dare talk to me like that I did care about you and Ian and I always put you first why do you think I kept taking your dad back he was taking care of us

Eddie laughed: care? That is not even in your vocabulary because if it was you would have asked me and Ian how we felt but you never did you and dad were never parents to us we were hurt mom (he started to cry) and all you can do is sit here and worry about what towns people think about us like Ian told me there is no family that is perfect but at the end of the day they love each other but as for this family I do not even think love is in our vocabulary.

Katy: you don't know what the hell you're talking about Eddie you don't know what it's like growing up with nothing no family no friends and no money I never had that in my life so when your dad came into my life I did what I could to make sure I had that I worked so damn hard to make friends and that is what I wanted

Eddie: I understand that mom you want friends but you have a family me and Ian but you never acted like we meant a damn thing to you all you cared about was dad this and dad that never once did you show me how to treat a woman never once did dad show me how to fish or ride a bike you know who taught me how to fish and ride a bike Uncle Joe did and you know who taught me how to treat a woman Mrs. Elaine I have so much more respect for her because she actually treated me and Ian like her kids. I can't have this conversation with you anymore because all you doing is making excuses for the things you know you were wrong about

Eddie turned around and walked to the car with Loren, Melissa and Ian right behind him. As Ian drove everyone was silent the whole ride when they got to Eddie's house Loren was going to let him be alone to give him time to think but he insisted on her coming in the house with him after they wave goodbye Ian and Melissa left. When Eddie and Loren walked into the house Eddie turned and smiled at her and told her to go sit on the couch and he would make them some coffee. Eddie came back out with the coffee and saw Loren looking at a photo album of him he smiled and put the coffee on the table sat down by her.

Eddie: that picture was when Uncle Joe took me and Ian to Hawaii I almost drowned that day because I did not listen when they told me not to jump in the water and I knew I could not swim.

Loren smiled and looked at him: how old were you?

Eddie: I was twelve at the time good thing Uncle Joe could swim because that was the only reason I survived

Loren: I can picture you now being so stubborn

Loren put the photo album down and turned to face Eddie he was too busy looking down into his coffee.

Eddie: do you think I was wrong for what I did?

Loren: of course not people always keep their feelings cramped up and when the time comes they can't take it anymore and fly off the handle. What you did Eddie was normal don't beat yourself up or blame yourself for the way you were raised.

Eddie put his head down: I know I never wanted to hurt my mom Loren don't get me wrong but she deserve something she needed a reality check she knew pop was cheating on her plenty of times and she just kept ignoring it and I was wondering why would she keep wanting to be in that position

Loren took her hand and lifted up Eddie's head: listen to me Eddie we are always going to dislike things that our parents do or what they tell us to do but we can't do anything about it we can give our opinion and cry or whatever but our parents are the ones who makes their decisions so since your mom chose to stay with your dad sweetheart you are going to have to deal with it

Eddie looked Loren in the eyes: I know I just do not know how to handle it no one was there when she cried all night long me and Ian was no one saw that look on her face that broke my heart so much and when she took him back I could not look at her the same.

Loren: and that is understandable but deep down you still love her and your dad

Eddie: of course

Loren: okay so you are going to have to suck this up and make it work and your mom is going to have to see for herself that she does not need your dad to survive.

Eddie sighed: your right…. (He smiled) you want to know something?

Loren: sure

Eddie: I think I made a great decision by pursuing a relationship with you because I am happy that I have you sitting here with me in my house

Loren smiled: aww Eddie I am happy too

They leaned in and kissed each other passionately it was starting to get serious but Eddie cell phone decided to ring he pulled back when he saw that Ian was calling Loren groaned and Eddie smiled and gave her a quick peck before answering.

Eddie: hello?

Ian: Eddie you need to come to the hospital quick!

Eddie: calm down Ian what is it?

Ian was crying: I really can't explain it is mom and dad please hurry up and come to the hospital NOW!

Ian hung up the phone and Eddie turned to Loren and told her they needed to go to the hospital.
