ANGELA POV
Angela is quiet on the way home and waits till Justin goes upstairs and then turns to Rayanne "What happened in the store after the boys and me went outside" asks Rayanne worriedly "well my life is fucking over all this time I've been keeping this secret from everyone except you, Rickie, Sharon and my family and now he is going to know" said Angela with a sigh "o god are saying what I think you are" said Rayanne sitting down next to her "lets just say Shane figured it out for himself I mean Justin looks just like Jordan its not that hard to figure out especially now that he is getting older anyway he told me if I don't tell Jordan myself that he was going to tell him" said Angela as she runs her hands through her hair.
As they are talking Justin was just coming down the stairs only to stand there in the middle of the steps and listen as soon as he heard his mom upset and talking about him once he heard what it was about it was all over he ran down the stairs "where are you going" asks Angela wiping her face "out" said Justin and he walks out "hold on a minute" said Angela and walks out of the house "Justin!" yells Angela "so how long have you been hiding this from me" said Justin as he turns around "hiding what" said Angela "Mom don't play dumb I just heard you say it to Rayanne that Jordan Catalano is my father and you never told me all these years you told me he was a guy you met at a bar that you dated for a month then you got pregnant with me and he took off. You lied to me for the last fifteen years mom!" yelled Justin nearly in tears "I'm sorry okay it seemed right at the time just come in and we could talk about all of it" said Angela in tears too "why would I want to talk to you, fuck this I'm going out " said Justin and turned around and left.
JUSTIN POV
JUSTIN V/O
I can't believe it all these years my own mother lied to me out of all things to lie about, about who my dad is I feel like such an idiot, Trey was always saying I look like him like exactly and I never took him seriously but now Shane Lewis says it and I come home to find out that THE Jordan Catalano is indeed my father, my biological father I mean it's cool as fuck he is my fucking idol an all but like I'm so mad at mom I need to go jam with Trey and get my head straight.
"Hey man" said Justin as Trey comes into the garage "hey dude, what's up? you look like someone shot your dog" said Trey as they bump fists. Justin sits down and takes his guitar out of the case and starts to strum "yeah you would too after what I just found out" said Justin "what man" said Trey as he sets up his drums thinking Justin will probably want to jam after he gets whatever it is on his mind out he usually does but this must be something big not like a little thing like about that girl Emma or whatever "my mom is a liar and my dad is Jordan Catalano" said Justin out of nowhere looking at him "are you fucking serious man you're upset that THE Jordan Catalano is your father you have a fucking man crush on the dude he is like your idol man if I found out Shane Lewis was my dad I'd be like stoked" said Trey "I'm not upset he is my dad, I'm not crazy, I'm upset my mom lied to me all these years" said Justin miserably.
"Oh so how did you find out" asks Trey as he hands Justin a can of soda. Justin puts his guitar aside and opens the soda "I overheard my mom and your mom talking about it, your mom knows too and Rickie and my grandma and grandpa" said Justin with a sigh "so I guess we were the only ones out on the secret" said Trey with a grin, Justin lets out a sarcastic laugh "guess so man" said Justin as he puts the soda down "so where is Joey think he will wanna practice later" said Justin "I don't know I'll text him so wait back to this Jordan thing so what exactly happens now" asks Trey curiously "well with Jordan I don't know and Shane told my mom that if she doesn't tell him that he will" said Justin "I got an idea" said Trey with a smile as he takes a piece of paper out of his pocket "what ya doin, asks Justin watching him take his phone out "well you wanna chill with your dad, you don't have to tell him today or anything but we could like chill with them remember Shane gave me his number" said Trey with a smile.
"and gee I wonder why if I look like Catalano then that's why he did that to see if I would like come around on my own" said Justin sarcastically "exactly so let's see if they are busy" said Trey as he texts Shane "alright just if Jordan isn't around Shane tell him I know okay" said Justin "alright" said Trey as he types a text to Shane "k he is going to pick us up since my mom isn't home" said Trey "cool" said Justin "he told me to get my drums together so we could like jam" said Trey excitedly "dude text Joey he'll be so mad if he misses this shit" said Justin with a laugh "tell him everything" asks Trey as he is texting "I guess" said Justin as he puts his guitar in its case "so where we goin" asks Justin "some loft they used to practice at when they were our age" said Trey as he continues to text.
Then Shane and Joey pull up at the same time "dude this is so fucking cool your dad is Jordan Catalano and now we are hanging out with Frozen Embryos today but I'm sorry bout like your mom and all that shit" said Joey "let's just go have fun with them and chill" said Justin as he puts his guitar case around his shoulders.
AT THE LOFT
"hey guys I got a couple fans here I met at the store" said Shane as he brings the guys up to the loft "you would bring fans here" said Jordan with a laugh as he plays around on his guitar "dude that's a nice ass fender" said Justin going over to him and admiring the guitar that's on its stand "you play" asks Jordan finally looking at him but strangely "yeah me and these guys we just started a band like last year we haven't done any gigs yet though we can't get any of the clubs around here to let us play because we are underage" said Justin "that's so fucked up man we used to play all over when we were your age" said Shane "yeah so uh I didn't catch your name" said Jordan as he looks Justin up and down.
"I'm Justin" said Justin leaving his last name out of it not wanting him to know who he really is yet "so you wanna play that guitar man" asks Jordan with a nervous laugh "you mean I can " asks Justin digging for his guitar pic in his pocket "yeah go ahead" said Jordan watching Justin pick up the electric guitar and fixing the amp he starts to play on it as Jordan watches holy shit this kid is fucking good he thought to himself, "you're pretty good man where did you learn to play like that" asks Jordan "my mom taught me when I was a kid she doesn't play much anymore" said Justin as he plays the guitar "your mom must be pretty cool if she plays guitar" said Jordan with a smile "yeah but she always says I play like way better than her that I'm a natural or something" said Justin as he plays the fender guitar that he is now in love with.
"so you guys wanna play for us, I'm curious now if you guys are good maybe I could get you guys in at Louie's I know him really well, we used to play there all the time" said Jordan they all look at each other "yeah okay sounds good" said Trey, Shane hands him his drum sticks, Trey just looks at him "yes I'm serious go play on mine it's easier anyway than having to go set yours up right" said Shane with a laugh. "what do want us to play" asks Justin "don't matter whatever you want " says Brendan with a shrug " lets play A Beautiful Lie by 30 seconds to Mars said Justin, Trey looks at him and Justin nods. Jordan goes and leans against the wall along with rest of the band to listen to them.
Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
'Cause this is just a game
It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me
It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much, just say
'Cause this is just a game
It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me
(Oh Oh
The end of the world)
Everyone's looking at me
I'm running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation's building higher
I've got to remember this is just a game
(So beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful
It's a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful...)
It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me
JORDAN V/O
As I'm listening to this kid sing this song the more freaked out I get because seriously he came in here I look up at him and I swear I saw my own face, now he sings this song but he is looking like dead at me as he sings it "a beautiful lie" you know how like a song can just speak to you the way it's being sung and now having him looking at me like that I'm starting to wonder what lie he is talking about and why does he look like me that? What is it he is trying to tell me? God I hope it's not what I am thinking because I am starting to think that I might be this kid's like dad, it can't be it's like impossible that I have a kid I didn't know about right?
" these kids are really good" said Shane to Jordan breaking him out of his thoughts "yeah this kid Justin, he is pretty sick on the guitar I don't know too many kids his age that could play like that or sing like that" said Jordan while watching them play "wow you guys are really good I'm gonna see what I could do about Louie's" said Jordan "hey you guys want get something to eat we could order some pizza or something I mean unless you guys got curfews or something " said Shane "as long as I'm home by like 11 we are good" said Justin as he plays guitar quietly to himself "hey uh Justin can I talk to you" asks Jordan it's time I find out the truth.
"yeah sure what's up " said Justin nervously getting up and walking outside for a minute "look uh this is gonna sound like weird or whatever but uh what's like your last name" asks Jordan looking at him strangely again and lighting a cigarette Justin looks away for a minute and sighs "look I wasn't like planning on doing this tonight like telling you this or whatever but my last name is Chase, I'm Angela Chase's son and um well he sighs again as he leans against the wall and closes his eyes," you're uh like my dad I mean uh you are my dad" said Justin nervously.
Jordan turns around "I knew it there was just like no way you weren't mine it's like freaky because you look like me when I was your age I mean like obliviously kids look like their parents but you look like identical or whatever" said Jordan "look I just I wanted to like know you, I mean like I love your music and I've been like a big fan for like ever and all and then this shit got sprung on me today and it's like cool or whatever that your my dad you know I mean Trey always said I look like you or whatever but I never took it seriously I mean I've had like girls tell me that too, I feel like such an idiot for believing mom that my dad like ran away or whatever" said Justin closing his eyes again and leaning against the wall.
"so can I like take you home tonight I think maybe me and your mom should talk" said Jordan as he takes a drag of his cigarette "yeah okay, she is in for a surprise she doesn't know where I am right now I told her I was at Trey's but she hasn't like texted me I mean she was like upset or whatever when I left but I mean she lied to me about who you were all these years" said Justin sadly, Jordan looks at Justin, "you know if I knew like about you before I left for LA again I would've like at least took your mom with me I would've tried harder than what I did and I don't know things would be different I guess" said Jordan with a reassuring smile "what sucks is your like only here for two weeks" said Justin as they go back inside "look we will figure it out okay" said Jordan reassuringly "okay" said Justin with a nod.
They spend the rest of the night eating pizza with the guys and hanging out after Jordan drove Justin home "just so you know I don't know how this is going to go with your mom I'm probably not her favorite person in the world I mean I left her for LA" said Jordan with a sigh "yeah well she isn't my favorite person right now for lying to me" said Justin shoving his hands in his pockets as they walk into the house "Justin it's 11 o clock on a school night and I know your mad but that doesn't_ she stops dead when she sees Jordan standing next to him in the door way she looks at the both of them they are so alike it could be scary both of them standing there chewing on their thumb it would be comical if it weren't for the situation they are in "hey guess you weren't expecting me right" said Jordan looking down at her "no I wasn't " said Angela looking at Justin "I took it upon myself to hang out with him and the band, me and Trey texted Shane and well let's just say dad figured it out for himself" said Justin as he walks around his mother and plops on the couch "you have school tomorrow I think you should go to bed" said Angela, he rolls his eyes and heads upstairs "I'll call you tomorrow J" said Jordan "okay" he says before he goes up the stairs.
"I think we need to talk " said Jordan walking into the living room and looking at the pictures of Justin on the entertainment center of them in Disney with Rayanne, Rickie and Trey and her parents and of them at the zoo and other places and school pictures too, he turns around to face her "so you hid this from me for 15 years Angela, you never called and told me you were pregnant or when he was born, you just let us both live a life not knowing the other existed" said Jordan angrily "look I just thought it was for the best okay, you had to go back to LA and go on your tour like the week after your dad's funeral how would've you done it if I was pregnant" said Angela, "for the best?! you thought it was for the best to keep me from my own kid and I would've figured it out Angela, I would've taken you with me to live with me and I would be with the two of you as much as possible and you know it" said Jordan madly
"so when did you find out you were pregnant while I was here and you let me leave not knowing" asks Jordan, "no I didn't find out I was pregnant till after you left again" said Angela looking away "so why didn't you call me" Jordan asks her "and what were you going to do Jordan fly back here and play big happy family and give up your life in LA, give up your career, give up your dream" said Angela crossing her arms over her chest, "no but I would've taken responsibility for him and you, I would've asked you to move with me and I would've tried to make it work with us but you gave me no option you just assumed I'd be an asshole and run away" said Jordan madly .
Angela looks down at the ground then back up at him, "whatever you know I might've been a dick back in the day but I never lied to you, yes I fucked up in a lot of ways with us but I never did anything to deserve not to know I had a kid with you" said Jordan as he turns to leave, "tell Justin I will call him tomorrow" said Jordan facing the other way because he was nearly crying at this point, Angela sighs, "look if you want you could pick him up from school tomorrow alright" said Angela, Jordan nods and walks out the door as he is getting in his car, he sees Rayanne go into Angela's house.
CHAPTER SEVEN
SO WHATS THE STORY
SHANE POV
Shane pulls up to the loft once again after dropping off Trey and Joey at Graff 's house, he looks to see Jordan's old red Plymoth sitting there in the parking lot, he laughs to himself.
Some things never change I can't believe he still has that plymoth after all these years sitting up in his dad's garage and the thing still runs it doesn't look too hot though not like it used too but whatever I really want to know what the story is with him and Angela, I mean all this time I thought he never saw her when we came back and come to find out he did and now he has a kid.
He climbs the stairs and goes into the loft to find Jordan sitting there playing aimlessly on his guitar "hey figured you would be here" said Shane taking a seat next to him and grabbing a different guitar and starts playing too "yeah just thinking " said Jordan as he stops playing "I would be too if I was you but what I would really like to know is why you lied to me about seeing her 15 years ago" said Shane looking at him waiting for his answer "I don't know, didn't want you to break my balls about it but like I just needed her or whatever at the time I mean she gets me in like a different way than like even you do and you've known me since we were kids, I mean it was just us hanging out for a little while, I was packing up the stuff in the house and she like came by" said Jordan.
Flashback 15 years ago
JORDAN V/O
I still can't believe my dad is like gone I mean shouldn't I be like real sad or whatever I mean I am sad but not like as sad as I think I should be. I mean he beat me and mentally abused me for years until I finally stood up to him and then I met Angela Chase who helped me graduate and I left her for L.A., I was hoping she would've come to his funeral to like see me or whatever but I guess she hates me. I would hate me see what I mean my dad just died and I am thinking of Angela Chase that's just not normal but then again I'm always thinking of her.
Then the doorbell rings, Jordan sighs and walks to the door. shit hope its not one of those mortgage people again I look like shit like I haven't slept in days and I have no shirt on because its so hot in this house because all of the air conditioners are like gone, he thinks to himself. he opens the door "hi" she says shyly "Angela" said Jordan she gives him a shy smile "I just came by to like say sorry about your dad" said Angela looking up at him "oh well thanks, I guess, I mean come in if you want too or whatever, it's a mess so yeah" said Jordan as he turns around to let her in "so uh, how are you" asks Jordan looking at her looking around, god she is so beautiful I can't believe she still has her hair red too, it's just like longer now "I'm good, just graduated from college" said Angela.
"oh well congratulations" he said as he plops on the couch needing a break from packing his dads stuff up "well I um saw you won a music award and that you're going on tour next week" said Angela as she sits next to him "yeah, back on the road again" said Jordan as he lets out a sigh "what you don't like being on tour" asks Angela curiously "I do its just busy, meet and greets, press stuff, concert then we move to the next state to do it all over again" said Jordan yawning "oh" said Angela then they get quiet again "so well it's like nice to see you I didn't think I would've seen you I mean I figured you like hated me for leaving for L.A." said Jordan, "Jordan, I couldn't hate you if I tried like I was mad that you left but I understand I mean asking you to give up your dream for me just wasn't the right thing to do" said Angela.
Omg he looks so amazingly gorgeous still and having no shirt on just makes it even harder for me to like just talk to him even his body is beautiful, he is a little more muscular then what he was before he left and his hair is shorter but he is still as gorgeous as he was when he left after high school.
"so you don't hate me" said Jordan, she smiles "no, I was just like mad because you left me here" said Angela with a smile "look I left because I didn't want to let the chance blow by and regret it later I mean if I stayed I would've wondered for the rest of my life if me and the band would've made it" said Jordan with a sigh "so like I never got to ask you how you got the record deal because I was so mad" said Angela with a laugh, "well remember when we played at that big show at Vertigo the show you couldn't come to that night well it was like insane we knew that there was going to be someone there from Virgin Records so we were really excited for it and nervous as hell" said Jordan with a grin.
"we fought a lot during practices and all that but when we got to Vertigo and we were nervous, I just said let's just do our thing like as if we were at the loft practicing and we did the best show that night then any show we ever did so anyway after we got off stage we were pumped and then this guy came up to us from Virgin Records and offered us a record deal if we would come out to L.A and we just had to do it like I said it was something we couldn't say no to so after we said yes I was afraid to tell you I knew it was going to hurt you that I was leaving so I waited and waited it was just I was so afraid it would break us up which obliviously it did and I'm sorry I waited till the day before but I was scared to tell you" said Jordan with another sigh.
"oh, well I wish you did tell me ahead of time I mean I think I still would've been upset but I would've had some time to deal with it" said Angela "not really"said Jordan, "so what happened in L.A when you got there" asks Angela "we got the deal as soon as we got there then started recording our first album the following week and then when the first album came out and our first song hit the radio stations it was number 1" said Jordan "I can't believe Red was your first single" said Angela with a laugh "why is that funny" said Jordan, she smiles shyly "when you first sang Red to me, I thought it was about me" said Angela embarrassedly, he looks away from her for a minute "Ange, that song is about you I said it was about my car because I didn't want you know at the time I mean really Ange did you really seriously listen to the lyrics after I rewrote it" said Jordan ,"Jordan, I only knew it was your first hit because Rayanne told me, I couldn't listen to your music for like years" said Angela and she looks away.
"Well then I got something for you that I like always wanted to give you" he got up and went into a box and pulls out a sheet of paper "here" said Jordan handing the paper to her, she looks at it and it's the lyrics and music to RED, "so do you still play the guitar too, I mean you learned from the best " he says with a laugh "no not anymore, I don't have a guitar I sold it after you left" said Angela with a shrug "oh well you want one, come upstairs" said Jordan, they get up and he brings her to his old room and takes this acoustic guitar off the stand "here, this is my first guitar ever, I never had the heart to sell her" Jordan said with a smile.
"wow, are you really giving me your guitar I mean this is the guitar you played Red on to me the first time" said Angela thinking back to the night almost in tears "yeah that's why I want you to have it I mean its about you, Red" said Jordan with a smile, "besides I have other things that remind me of you" said Jordan as he turns his arm over and on his forearm he has the word "RED with a picture of a guitar, the date encircled 1'14'1995 the day they met she looks at him with tears in her eyes and they lean closer to each other and he kisses her softly and she deepens the kiss as they stand there kissing, he backs her into a wall then picks her up as they kiss and lays her on the bed and she moans into their kisses.
He puts his hand up her shirt and starts to rub her breasts, kissing her neck he unbuttons her shirt and slides it off of her, she unbuckles his pants and pulls them down "Jordan" moans Angela, he unzips her jeans and pulls them off along with her underwear as they continue to kiss, she slips her hand to his dick, stroking him slowly "omg you're driving me crazy, I want you so bad" whispers Jordan as she strokes him and kisses him harder, he gets on top of her and enters her, he thrusts slowly into her at first then faster as she follows his pace, they both of them fall apart together.
They fall asleep in each other's arms.
FLASH BACK OVER.
"after that we spent the next few days together at my dad's house when I had to leave it was the hardest thing ever to do" said Jordan "and then you didn't speak to her for 15 years" said Shane with a laugh "well we kind of had the same fight we did when I left the first time" said Jordan "oh so anyway now what are you gonna do" asks Shane, "I don't know I mean he is my kid and I want to be with him as much as possible the next two weeks but I don't know what to do when I leave again, I mean he has to stay here obliviously and we have to go back to L.A so we can start recording the next album" said Jordan "tomorrow Angela told me to pick him up from school so I am going to like hang out with him again tomorrow" said Jordan with a sigh.
