"She said what?" Christine seethes. They were sitting at their table at lunch. Jeremy had just told them about what happened between his mom and him. The huge fight they had that occurred after returning home from the Mells.

"She said-" he was hastily cut off by Christine

"I know I just- how could a mother say such horrible things to her child," Christine waves her hands dramatically

Jeremy leans closer to Michael resting his head on Michael's shoulder. Michael turns his head to place a kiss on his soft, fluffy hair.

"As pure as it this moment is you guys really should just kiss already," " Jenna says from her phone.

The table laughs as Jeremy and Michael stare blankly at them, not moving their position though.

"Ugh why are you guys so perfect?" Brooke rested a hand on her cheek "Like honestly they're the purest couple ever and they aren't even a couple,"

"Guys we are right here," Michael snorts

"Shh...we don't hear you," Brooke laughs

When the bell rings, they all go to their respective classes. Except Michael and Jeremy.

"I enjoy what we're doing but what are we?" Jeremy asks

"Well what do you wanna be Jer" Michael asks

"You can't turn this on me Micah," Jeremy whines

" I can because I want to be whatever you want us to be Jeremy,"

" I wanna be with you Micah. I wanna be your boyfriend, and I don't care about my mom anymore she doesn't control me. She doesn't control us,"

"Then Jeremiah Heere will you be my boyfriend,"

"Yes,"

"Wanna skip the rest of the day,"

"God yes."

Second bell rang and the boys make it to Michael's old beat up car. Jeremy looked up out of the window, thinking about is mothers. His mother's crazy obsession to make him feel miserable. Why would he think that it isn't fair that she wasn't okay with how her life turned out.

Crystal say in Jeremy's room, her son is at school right now. She thinks about everything she's done to him. Tears well up and run down her face, ruining her makeup but she doesn't care. She saw Jeremy's pain, she saw it everyday. Everyday the pain she sees in her son's face, pain she inflicted on him because of her. She loves her son, she really does. She gets angry at herself because she should of made his childhood memorable not miserable. She gave up her soulmate but not for Jeremy, but to be a mother. She wanted to be a mother forever and with her soulmate.

"Crystal I'm heading out," Howard calls from the doorframe "What's wrong,"

"I'm a horrible mother," she sniffles Howard stays silent as moves to sit next to her "Jeremy's my baby and all I've ever done is hurt him,"

"Then try to be a better mother to him Crys instead of belittling him,"

"How Howard?"

"Well, we'll have a family dinner tonight maybe invite Michael since you know they've been friends for ever,"

"I'd like that,"

"Ask about his AP test any of them,"

"Thanks Howard really

Michael and Jeremy sits at the table with Jeremy's parents. Under the table Michael squeezes Jeremy's hand.

"So how was school boys?" Howard asks smiling warmly at the pair

"It was fine Mr. Heere," Michael replies

"So Jer, I hear you had an AP test,"

"Yeah it was good,"

"That's really great honey,"

"Thanks mom."

"So you boys find your soulmate,"

"Um can we not talk about this," Jeremy mumbles

"Oh so you have,"

"Crys let it go."

"No I'm intrested."

"Fine it is Michael. He's my soulmate, happy," Jeremy yells and storms off with Michael trailing behind him

"Crystal you said you wanted to be a better mother. You gotta listen to our boy,"

"You're right I'm sorry,"

"Apologize to Jeremy,"

There they sat with Jeremy in the other room with his boyfriend comforting him.
