Chapter 30:The truth comes out.
Nicole:Hey darling.
Drake:Hi Dear.
He looks at her Right arm.
Drake:What happened to your arm?
Nicole:Nothing.
Drake:It looks like something or somebody cut you pretty bad. That's not nothing! Nicole?
Nicole:What?
Drake:It was him, wasn't it?
Nicole:Ok, it was him.
Drake:You lied to me, you lied to your cousin & you lied to my family!
Nicole:Honey I don't want to worry you.
Drake:So you lied to all of us thinking it was the perfect answer to your problem!
Nicole:Yes, I mean No, I mean…
Drake:I'm going to bed. Night.
Drake finds Josh so Josh can help him upstairs & goes to his room where the door slams.
Nicole goes into the Living Room & cries.
In the boys' room Drake is laying on his bed with his Bible out.
There's a knock on the door.
Drake:Who is it?
Walter:Dad.
Drake:Come in.
Walter opens the door & goes into the boys' room.
Drake:I didn't wake you did I?
Walter:No, even through I am wondering why my son is slamming a door.
Drake:I don't want to talk about it.
Walter heads for the door.
Drake:She lied to all of us.
Walter:Who did?
Drake:Nicole. She got hurt at school today.
Walter:How? It wasn't that guy wasn't it?
Drake:Yep.
Walter:How bad is she hurt?
Drake:He cut her arm pretty bad, she cleaned it out. She decided not to tell anyone.
Walter:Not even the school?
Drake:Not even the school.
Walter:Can I ask you something?
Drake:Yeah.
Walter:Are you more mad because she lied to you or because she hide it?
Drake:I guess I'm more upset because she hide it.
Walter:Why?
Drake:Because I love her & I thought she knew she could trust me.
Walter:This go with that.
Drake:What?
Walter:The fact you love her. Have you told her you love her?
Drake:It's too soon.
Walter:I told your mom on our Third date I loved her & she told me that she had been in love with me since our first date. Tell her.
Drake:If you told mom on your Third date why didn't you get married in till Three months later?
Walter:We wanted you kids to adjust to us dating instead of dropping a bombshell on you & getting married after the Third date.
Drake:We've come a long way.
Walter:Yeah we have. Night Bud.
Drake:Night dad.
Walter helps Drake downstairs.
Drake:Thanks.
Walter:No problem.
Walter goes back to the room he shares with his wife. He realized that in this past Three days they really had come a long way. He could still remember a time where Drake was not happy with the marriage or him.
Drake goes into the Living Room where he finds Nicole asleep.
He falls asleep on the lazy boy.
