Part 14
As the family entered the living room, Burt, Dennis, and Millie sat down on the couch. Coop and Kat stayed standing. The ride home had been quiet. These moments right now were no better.
"Somebody say something" Coop pleaded under his breath.
"And what do you want us to say, Coop?" Burt asked. Tears rushed to Coop's eyes.
"I can't believe you would date Kat and not tell us!" Dennis said. The tears fell from Coop's eyes.
"What happened to Julian?" Millie asked. Coop took a deep breath.
"She was Kat in disguise" he said. Dennis looked towards Coop for the first time since they got home.
"You guys wanted to keep it a secret so badly that you created a fake girlfriend?" he asked. Coop nodded. Dennis sighed.
"If you guys really love each other that much... who am I to deny you that love?" he said, smiling. Coop grinned.
"I guess you're right" Millie said.
"WHAT?" Burt cried. Everyone turned to look at him.
"HOW CAN YOU GUYS BE OKAY WITH THIS!" he screamed. Tears rushed to Coop's eyes again.
"B-but... dad, you said-" Coop started to say, but was cut off by Burt.
"I MEAN, KAT'S A... SHE'S A CAT!" Burt screamed, much louder than Millie.
"YOU SAID THAT YOU'D LOVE AND CARE FOR ME, NO MATTER WHO I LOVED!" Coop shouted. He then ran upstairs to his room.
