"Listen to me. Just meet me at the PV Inn. I dont care, just meet me there in 10 minutes," Tad scolded into his cell phone, and clicked it shut. Heading towards the Pine Valley Inn, he saw people outside with their kids. Tad's head immediately went to JR, who was sitting inside his room, looking out the window. And Jamie, who was going on like nothing had happened. Those were the ways that his sons coped, and he knew it was because of him.
He sat in the resturaunt at the PV Inn, and told the bar tender to give him anything strong. Five minutes later, David Hayward walked into the room.
"Dont look so smug, Hayward," Tad gritted his teeth.
"Is there a problem, Dr. Hayward?" the bartender asked as he set down Tad's drink.
"No. No problem," David replied. "I'll have a coffee. So what is it that you wanted, Tad?"
"Help."
"Well your whole family obviously needs that."
"Hayward, shove it will ya? I know we've never been friends, but you and JR once were. And he needs your help," Tad spoke fast before David could say anything.
David looked at Tad, and then around the room, "Seriously, Tad, you've got to be pulling a prank on me."
"You know. You claimed to have cared about Dixie. And once you cared for JR."
David nodded his head, "What do you want me to do?"
"Talk to him. I cant get through to him. Maybe you can."
"And what makes you so sure he will even talk to me? You have to remember, we never liked eachother."
Tad sighed, "I just hope he will."
~~
Tad knocked lightly on JR's door. He sat on the windowsill, with his head phones on, overlooking the back of the Martin House. JR looked up from his CD player, and at Liza.
"You have a visitor, JR," Tad said and let David in.
"Tad, you have to be kidding--" Tad raised his hand up to stop JR.
"Just hear him out, okay?" Tad said quietly, and left.
"That guy needs sleep," David chuckled lightly.
"Why dont you shut the hell up," JR roared, his blood pressure rising.
"You know, this is Tad's idea. So complain to him, he asked me to talk to you."
"Tad asked you to talk to me?" JR asked David stunned. David nodded. "Guess he really does need some sleep. You know what? Why dont you get lost? I'm fine. Your fine. Tad's fine. We're all fine.. without you."
"If you dont want my help--"
JR interrupted David, "I dont want a lying scum bag of a cheat helping me out! I dont need help, so bug out, Hayward!"
"Okay, if that's what you want, JR," David said more quietly and left the room, shutting the door.
"That's exactly what I want! Everyone to leave me the hell alone!" JR yelled, and threw a picture frame at his door. Angry enough already, JR climbed out of his room, and ran towards the docks.
~~
JR noticed a dark shadow sitting on the bench. The closer he got the more he recognized the person. Hayward.
"Great, the one place I can be alone, and someones here," JR said and turned around to walk the other way.
"JR, stop being such a baby," David challenged, and JR stopped dead in his tracks.
"What?"
"Quit being such a dumbass. Go home to your family. They care about you."
JR scoffed, "Yeah, and pigs fly, and Mother Teresa isnt dead."
"I'm serious, JR."
"Yeah, and my mom was serious about loving me, and that she'd never leave me."
"She loved you, JR," Hayward said gently.
"If she loved me then why did she leave me?" JR cried, and Hayward pulled the crying teen to give him a half hug.
~~
On the next All My Children...
Sweeney grabbed the glass bottle marked '7/7' and handed it to JR, "Man, dont be such a wuss."
"Do you really think drinking will help you cope? Do you really think doing this to your body will help you get over Dixie?" David yelled angrily at JR.
"Do you think playing father to her low life son will make it any less hurtful to wake up in the morning for yourself!?" JR challenged back.
"I want you to stop talking to Hayward, and come live with me, son," Adam said.
"What if I dont want to?" JR crossed his arms.
"It's not an option, Junior."
