Chapter 37

As they entered the house Karen it was quiet her brother was on his computer and her dad was sitting in the living room in his wheelchair.

"Hi! Hi!" Ron said.

"Hey ... how are you doing?" Karen asked.

"Good."

Karen nodded as her and Jon went in to her room.

"Jon ... I know we talked about you staying here but I really think a hotel will be better."

"Why?"

"Because ... I told you this house is just ... it's embarrassing and it's a shit hole and ... " Before Karen could finish her sentence Jon pulled her into a kiss.

"It's fine."

"Jon I love you but it's not ... you don't want to be here any more than I do."

"That maybe true but I am not staying in a hotel that is a half and hour away. So you're stuck with me darlin." He grinned as he fell on to her full size bed.

"What am I gonna do with you?" Karen laughed.

"People have been asking themselves that for years."

"Ha Ha."

"Hey Karen ... you gonna be home for a bit?" Her brother asked.

"Yes ... go ... live life ... go see Mike." Karen said.

"Thanks ... we're playing poker down at the hall." Brian said.

"Poker really?" Jon said.

Karen shook her head no , Jon gave her a funny look.

"Don't worry about anything I'll be home so I'll just go get mom." Karen told him.

"Sweet. I'm out of here." Brian said.

Brian left and Karen went to check on her dad who wanted to watch a movie so Karen put on in for him.

"Did you eat dinner?"

"No."

Karen looked at the time and it was well after 6 pm now so Karen began to look to see what they had.

"Hey Karen ... what was with the head nod thing with your brother you don't want us to bond over poker?"

"You don't want to play with them. You'll be sitting in a cloud of pot smoke and here tails of this shit whole town. You know drunk nights and who was the last to bang this town slut."

"Really? Your brother smokes weed?"

"He doesn't anymore. Jon I think there is something that I need to tell you ..."

"Alright?"

Karen began to talk while making her dad dinner.

"My brother went to prison he was there for 8 years."

"No shit?"

"Yeah ... I wont go into detail about his case because it was really hard on our whole family ... I mean he was just so lost for a long time. He was an alcoholic by the age of 17. Any way that's why it's hard for him to find a job and he's just had a hard time."

"Oh Karen why didn't you tell me?"

"It's not my story to tell..."

"Babe you've all hard it rough huh."

"Yeah ... we lived off mac and cheese and hot dogs. If we were lucky sometimes we would get a bun. My favorite was macaroni and tomatoes."

"When did things change?"

"To be honest I'm not sure ... honestly I think he was when I was in about 5th grade. My mom got a promotion at work and things started to get a little better. Then I started babysitting and making my own money. Anyway ... times change this change and yeah my life sucked at times but it got me to where am I today." Karen said as she began to fix her dads plate.

"And why is that brown eyes?" Jon asked as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Because I am in the arms of the most amazing man in the world." Karen said as she turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"OOOO!" Ron said from the living room.

Karen couldn't help but laugh as she pulled away.

"HI Dad."

"Kissy!"

"Yeah well I like him ... a lot! He's got a nice ass doesn't he." Karen laughed as she smack his butt.

"Karen?" Jon laughed.

"What? I'm not gonna lie your ass is just one of the many , many things I love about you."

"Woman ..."

"What?"

"Nothin'" Jon laughed as he kissed her again.

Karen gave her dad his meds and his dinner. They sat in the living room trying to have a conversation but it wasn't going well. Karen talked about WWE and her dad could say a few wrestlers.

"Sheamus" He finally got out.

"The man likes the guy who stole my US title?" Jon said raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah well to be far he never really liked the Shield."

"No... No." Ron said.

"I was kidding ... Jon he liked you guys but he loves Sheamus. Me I've always been a Dean Ambrose /Jon Moxley girl. Well except for that Randy Orton phase." Karen joked.

"The what now?"

"Yeah well before you came to the main roster I needed to route for someone and well that was Randy Orton."

"Awe man my girl like Orton."

"Don't worry ... I'm your girl now."

"Good. All mine." Jon laughed as he pecked her cheek.

"Bed ... tired." Ron told her.

"You want to go to bed?"

"Yes." Ron said as he wheeled his chair with his feet and one hand over to his bedroom door that was off the living room. Karen stood up and went into the bed room and made sure his bed was set and everything was ready. The she positioned herself to help him up.

"Karen? What the hell are you doing?"

"He can't stand with out help." Karen replied.

"I know but he's heavier than you ... and you shouldn't be lifting anything remember." Jon told her as he went over to help.

"Fine. Dad you're gonna need to do most of the work ... I can't lift you remember."

Jon stood behind the wheel chair grabbing his guide belt.

"1 ... 2. ...3.." Ron finally got out as Karen lifted from the side and Jon lifted from the back.

"Take the cane. Rest a minute. That took a lot out of you huh?" Karen said.

"Yup." Ron said as he started to walk slowly into his bedroom. Jon watched from the living room as Karen was helping him walk and getting him into his night cloths and putting him to bed.

"Do you need anything else?"

"No. Juice?" He told her.

"Yes I will get you some juice."

Karen did and then finally about 20 minutes later Karen and Jon were sitting on her bed cuddling together.

"Karen babe you are amazing."

"What ... Jon I'm not."

"You are ... I mean you told me that you had to take care of your father I guess I didn't fully understand what that meant or how bad he really was. He can't do anything for himself really."

"Yeah I know ... the good news is that tomorrow afternoon I am meeting with that Nurse."

"What about those homes?"

"Some wont take him because he's not that bad. Well that's what they told me. The few I found that will take him are very expensive." Karen began to explain.

"Don't worry we will figure this out. I promise alright?"

"Alright. Tomorrow I have that Dr. Appointment." Karen grinned.

"I know and I am hoping he says you can go back to your normal activities."

"Me too." Karen smiled as she kissed Jon's lips lightly.

"I told you sex was awesome."

"Jon oh my lord."

"What ... you don't agree?"

"Oh I agree... boy do I agree." Karen laughed as she got up and grabbed her computer.

"What are you doing?"

"Giving you a lesson on twitter."

"How about nope?"

"Fine ... you win ... we'll just Facebook stalk people deal?"

"I have no fucking idea what that means but why the hell not." Jon laughed as he watched Karen log in.

They were looking at her Facebook wall then she sent her nephew Carter a message.

"Oh Jon I can't wait for you to meet Carter and Madison they are so cute."

"They are Joe and Heidi's kids right?" Jon questioned as he looked at the pictures.

"yes ... Carter is 13 and Madison is 6." Karen said with a smile.

"You're like the cool Aunt Karen aren't you?"

"Something like that."

"Wait a damn minute here." Jon said in a stern voice as he tried to scroll down.

"What?"

"Go to that part."

"What part?" Karen asked confused.

"The part where is says relationship status."

"OK?" She said as she clicked on it.

"It says your single woman and you are not. So change it."

"Really? You want us to become Facebook official?"

"Hell yeah ... I mean the things I get you to do under the sheets ... says were official darlin."

"Jonathon Oh Lord." Karen said as she blushed.

"Well?"

"Changing it now."

Jon watched as Karen changed her relationship status from single to in a relationship. With in 10 minutes she had several likes a few comments.

"Who's the lucky guy?" was the biggest question.

"Really? Finally? About time?" Was another comment from a few other people.

"Yes really fuckers... being mean to my girl." Jon said "I hate how social media gives a voice to the idiots."

"Jon honey it's fine."

"Where's your camera?"

"Why?" Karen questioned.

"Because we are taking a couple of pictures and your changing that picture." Jon told her as pointed to her profile picture.

"Your sure?"

"Damn sure. Why the hell not."

Karen and Jon took a few pictures the one where he was kissing her so you couldn't really tell it was him and then they other one he was kissing her cheek and the last one his arm was around her. Karen put the one of him kissing her cheek as her profile picture.

"Better?"

"Much."

Karen and Jon talked and fooled around on the computer until about 9:30pm when Karen and Jon headed to Carson to get her mom from work. Her dad was sleeping and Brian would be home soon. They didn't like leaving him alone but sometimes for just an hour it was fine.

"You're telling your mom right?"

"Yes Jon I am telling my mom."

"What are you telling her?" Jon questioned.

"I am just telling her I am moving out ... the rest is our business."

20 minutes later they pulled into the parking lot and both went inside.

"Hi!" Dawn said with a smile.

"Hi Mom."

"I see Jon came home with you again?"

"Yeah he has a pretty intense schedule but he wanted to come home with me."

Jon and Karen walked around the store and picked up a few things then checked out.

On the way home Jon sat in the back while Karen drove and Dawn was in the passenger seat. Dawn talked about her last few days at work and how her dad's test results came back fine just needed to watch his diet a bit more. But no major issues at this time. Karen didn't say anything she just nodded then she looked in the mirror at Jon who smiled at her.

"Mom there is something that I want to tell you ... it's important."

"What is that?"

"I am moving out. I am moving to Las Vegas with Jon." Karen told her mother.

"No... Karen ... You can't leave."

"Mom ... here me out ... this is something that I want to do .. something that I need to do. I have an interview with a private nurse that can come in. I can still do some of the online bill paying from Vegas."

"I don't understand how you could do this to me and leave me ... leave me alone to take care of him by myself. I always get the short end and now you're just up and leaving. You're being really selfish right now! I am just ..." Dawn stopped.

"I know your mad mom but you'll see everything will work out." Karen told her.

"I'm not mad Karen just disappointed."

Karen was holding in her tears she didn't really now what to say she knew that no matter what choice she made she would be disappointing someone. She hated the way that made her feel. She loved Jon but didn't want to leave her mom. Life is just so unfair sometimes.
