Sorry about no update from this one either….

After Summer hit me about 15 more times for telling her sons, I went inside.

I didn't know where his room was, so I spent about 5 minutes looking for him. And wouldn't you know it, the last room I checked was it. I went in to find him laying on the bed with his Ipod on full blast.

He pretended not to notice me, but I could tell he wanted me to get the hell out of there.

I said Jake four times before he finally took the headphones off.

"Listen dude, your not my dad, so don't give me this talk like you are. Secondly, you've obviously been screwing my mom, that's why your with her, so nothing from you could help."

"Alright, dude" I said, putting an emphasis on 'dude', "I'm not…screwing your mom as you said. The only cheater here was your dad."

"Well great, that makes me feel much better."

"Well, I didn't want you to think your mom was some cheap slu…I mean…"

"Slut." He finished for me. God, 10 year olds knew a lot today.

"Yah, that. Anyway and I know how your feeling."

"Really. Do you? Your parents are divorced?"

"No, but I know how it feels to be pissed at the world, trust me I was for about 16 years of my life."

There was a moment of silence.

"What are we gonna do now?" He asked

"Well, I think your mom wants you and Shaun to go stay with my parents..for a while. I don't think she wants to see your dad right now."

"I don't wanna stay with your parents. I want to stay with my parents, both of them. Together. Not you, them."

"That may happen, but right now your mom is in bad shape, going through divorce is tough.."

"How would you know?"

"I'm going through it right now."

"Oh, so you and my mom figure hey were both single for a day, let's not waste any time."

"I'm just an old friend helping her out, we're not together."

"Yah well it better stay that way. Because my parents love each other, and they will get back together. So don't get your hopes up. My dad will get back with her."

I wanted to tell him I was his dad. But I wasn't really. It doesn't matter that he had no blood relation to his father, I was never there for him, because I didn't know of him, but still I wasn't. Richard was with him for everything, he was his real father.

That he would probably hardly see.

I blamed myself. If I hadn't kissed Summer she wouldn't have gone looking for Richard. She would have known something was happening but wouldn't have had any reason to test that. It was my fault these kids wouldn't have their real dad.

That last line stung though, so there was silence in the room for a while. Until he got up, and opened his door signaling me out.

I got up and left, surprised to see Jake follow me out.

We went outside to Summer, putting Shaun in the car.

"Oh thank god." Summer said as she hugged Jake.

"Whatever lets just go" He coldly replied.

So we all got into the car, and shared what was the most awkward car ride of my life.
