A/n—at the beginning of each chapter it says what day of the week it is. If it says 'Still ' that means the day of the week is the same as the day before it. (duh?) If it doesn't say 'Still' before it that means it is a new day. Please R&R!

Spot's PoV

"Simon? Could you pass the potatoes?"

I looked up slowly, reached the potatoes even slower, and pushed the bowl across the wooden tabletop.

"Simon? Are you OK?"

I nodded sadly.

"Simon? Truthfully?"

Could she start a sentence without using my name?

"Simon! Answer me!"

"Nothing's wrong! Nothing's wrong Mom."

"Simon Conlon, please tell me what's wrong with you.' She peered at me from behind her thin glasses.

"Mom, I don't—"

"Simon........." she sounded firm, but concerned.

"I don't want to........." I saw the look in her face and my heart sunk. How could I lie to her? She cared so much. All she wanted to do was help. "It's just that.........Sprinter.........I saw.........I caught Sprinter cheating on me."

My mom looked shocked. "Julie was cheating in you? Oh baby.' She got up and sat down beside me. She took my hand in hers and looked at me with compassion in her eyes.

Then she said all of those things that mothers are supposed to say when something like this happens. Like that Sprinter would be the one missing out and that any girl would be lucky to have me.

I'm beginning to think that there is no such thing as perfection, because with perfection comes happiness. And I know for sure that happiness is an illusion.

A/n: Spot and his mommy. Isn't it sweet? He tells her everything, they're so close! Cute, cute, CUTE! R&R people! I need REVIEWS!!!
