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!

Sloane Miette- heh, heh, heh, I'm listening to CAMP right now, Here's Where I Stand. But Mountie is my friend and she agrees that if I ever really meet Itey I get him. She's not really a Newsies fan.

Snitch invited me over to prepare me for my 'date' with Dutchy. His brother was there (obviously) with his friend who is on the Gap posters. His name is Tumbler.
Snitch doesn't know what is expected from a guy on a date with another guy, but he says it's probably the same thing. That means that (when the movie is off) I should keep the conversation flowing to avoid awkward silences. He also said not to wear too much cologne and to dress casual, but not sloppily, because that's a turn-off for everyone.
"How do you know all this?" I asked him.
He shrugged. "My mom is single. I help her with her love life because I want her to be happy. I do my research."
"Research? What, do you read teen magazines and look up facial masks on the Internet?" I raise my eyebrows. He didn't answer. I burst out laughing.
"Shut up." He frowned.
"Oh Snitch, won't you give me a facial?"
He glared.
I bit my tongue. "Sorry, sorry. It's nice that you look out for you mom like that." It was, and I finally understood why he watched his brother so often without ever arguing. "Your family's really close, isn't it?"
He nodded. "We try to make up for whatever left us." He sounded bitter.
I was pretty sure he was fishing. "So, if you don't mind me asking, what happened to your dad anyways?"
Snitch smiled sourly, "he left us when Snipeshooter was only four. He ran away with my mom's best friend. My mom was depressed and in rehab or a while, and Snipeshooter and I had to live with her parents. He doesn't pay child support or anything and my mom doesn't want to take it court because she thinks it'd be 'too much trouble'. She doesn't want to ever see him again and I don't exactly blame her."
He paused. "What do you think?" I asked.
"I kind of.........I kind of want him to come back. I want to talk to him. I want him to meet Snipeshooter, because he's a great kid. I want him to tell Mom that he's sorry and that he never meant to hurt her. I want us to be a family again." He looked ashamed.
I wanted to say that I knew how he felt, but I didn't because I don't.
Things were beginning to get uncomfortable when Snipeshooter and Tumbler came downstairs.
"Hey, Specs, teach me to fight like you did the other day?"
He and Tumbler grinned innocently. Snitch sent them back up to Snipeshooter's room.
A/n: I love Snitch's family. They're so together, yay! R&R!
