"Laina, can I come in?" Jamie knocked on his oldest daughters door. He just got home from work and hadn't seen her since the whole sleepover thing happened.
"Yeah." She replied. Jamie went ahead and opened the door, she was sitting at her mirror painting her nails.
"Hey." He said.
"Hi." She was shy, she didn't know what all he knew, and didn't want to get in trouble.
"Mom told me about what happened at Megan's." He said sitting down on the bed, Alaina had some relief lifted off her shoulders. She didn't want to have to re-explain.
"Yeah."
"Have you talked to any of your friends since then?" He asked.
"No. I don't think they want to be my friend."
"Why you say that?"
"Because I'm a goody two shoes." She said rolling her eyes.
"So? That's not a bad thing." Jamie reminded.
"It is when you're made fun of for it."
"Alaina there not your friends if they're making fun of you."
"I know."
"Your mom said there was someone else who didn't drink, who was that?" Jamie wondered
"Cade."
"Well he seems like a decent kid if he didn't give into the peer pressure either." Jamie said trying to look on the bright side for her.
"He is, he did try to text me a couple times,"
"And you haven't responded?"
"No."
"Why's that?" He asked and Alaina shrugged her shoulders focusing on her nails.
"Okay…well…just don't forget you can come talk to me, or your mom about anything. Anytime. Got it?" He said and got up to leave. Alaina nodded yes, and Jamie left.
He headed down the hall towards his and Eddie room. It was getting late, he was ready to shower and hit the hay.
"Leave the light on!"
"No!"
"You're such a brat!"
Jamie heard Scarlett and Ava through their bedroom door. He opened it to find Scarlett in her bed, and Ava was standing at the light switch.
"Why are we yelling?" Jamie wondered.
"Scarlett is scared and wants to sleep with the light on!" Ava answered.
"I'm not scared! I just want to read my book for a little!"
"Liar! Your scared!"
"Stop it. I have an idea" he went in and turned the bedside lamp on that sat in between both beds and then turned the main light off.
"Better?" He asked.
"Yeah." They said in unison.
"Good. Go to bed." He said and shut the door.
He walked into his bedroom, Eddie was just out of the shower and getting into bed.
"Huh, hi." He sighed and gave her a good long kiss.
"Rough day?" She asked.
"Guess you could say that." He said grabbing his towel and heading to the bathroom for a shower.
"Don't wait up." He said and shut the door.

When Jamie was done his shower he went out to get dressed, Eddie was sitting up in bed, staring into space.
"You didn't have to wait for me." He said looking at the time, and putting on boxers. Eddie usually passes out by now. She sat there and waited for Jamie to get into bed with her.
"I love you." He leaned over and gave her a soft kiss.
"I found porn on Ryan's phone." She said bluntly without any emotion. Jamie looked at her in shock. She looked at him and then stared back into space in front of her.
"No…" Jamie didn't believe it.
"Wish I was lying."
"How or…what? How'd you?"
"Well let's see, while they were all outside today, I was cleaning and he was charging his phone on the counter." She said, insinuating she got curious.
"Shit…" Jamie was too tired to have to think about how he was gonna deal with this. He knew Eddie wasn't gonna want to. This was alllllll him.
