"Hello" Joey says tiredly
"Are you trying to get me to hate you" Ed says angrily
"What are you talking about ED"
"Ed you have no right"
"What no right to what call you by your first name"
"Yes now tell me you didn't have anything to do with this newspaper of Delinda have you because she is here at home crying her eyes out"
"No Ed I didn't on the contray I've been really busy" Joey says
"Stop calling me Ed I'm your father"
"No your not your Danny's goodnight Ed" Joey says hanging up and snickering
Ed sighs as he hangs up the phone and rubs his temples
"So what did he say Ed" Jillian says
"Kept on calling me Ed" He says as Jillian goes to him and rubs his back
"What about the news article"
"He says he didn't do it but"
"Then believe him" Jillian says "you'll probably feel a little better" She says kissing him on the top of his head
"He has a grudge against Danny" Ed says
"And"
"And he wants him out of this family" Ed says as Jillian looks at him pointly
"Your point is"
"MY point is he did this he put this in the newspaper"
"You know a lot of people think it was Andrew Winterbourne who did it"
"But why would he want to ruin his marriage"
"His marriage was already ruined Eddie" She says folding her arms
"I still don't believe him"
"Then sleep on the couch" She says
"Honey he"
"He what"
"He lyes"
"And we haven't seen him in how long"
"He gets in trouble"
"And that was almost what a year ago come on Ed you've checked up on him" Jillian says
"Yes still he"
"No Eddie he's doing good no drugs no getting in trouble why don't you just be proud of him"
"I am"
"IT seems to me you want him to be in trouble"
"Why would I want that?"
"Cause you want to be the hero" Jillian says "You can't always be that"
"No I don't"
"Then continue to have shoulder problems"
"Can't you rub them?" Ed says
"No" Jillian says "And Ed"
Ed sighs "Yes hun"
"Fix that relationship before Christmas," Jillian says
"How"
"Cutting ties with Danny would be for starters," Jillian says as Ed's mouth went down
"But"
Jillian stares at Ed and he knew not to complain
"How am I going to do that he's Delinda's fiancé and my top man"
"Do it" She says and then leaving his office and he sighs into his chair
"Mom"
"Yes De"
"Why did you tell dad to cut ties with Danny"
Jillian looks at her daughter "I want my family back Delinda and Danny won't be part of this family soon"
"But why" Delinda asks
"Do I have to explain why" She says showing the newspaper and De looks sad
"I know it's true and right now Danny is trying to find out if this is a joke but I know the truth Delinda"
"How"
"A mother knows," She says sadly and looking disapprovingly at her daughter
"I'm sorry"
"Don't say sorry to me say sorry to Danny," She says going upstairs and Delinda sighs, she knew she had to tell the truth.
Joey couldn't sleep anymore. He was frustrated. Why wouldn't his father just believe him? He was angry. He grabbed his keys and left his apartment. He was driving aimlessly. He didn't believe him he hated him. Joey dialed Cody
"Hello"
"Code man"
"Yeah Joe what's up"
"I hate him"
"Hate who"
"My father he doesn't believe me" Joey says
"Ah man I'm sorry"
"Yeah well he loves Danny the best"
"Nah man he loves you"
"He doesn't Code he believes Delinda and everyone else"
"I'm sorry dude"
Joey starts to cry "Why man why"
"Man I don't know and please stop crying"
"He hates me"
Cody then hears something.
Isabella saw Joey at her apartment
"Joe"
Joey looks at Isabella
"What's wrong"
"He accused me of putting those pictures in the paper"
Isabella's mouth went down.
"Let's get out of here" He says turning his engine on. She got in just as she closed the door someone crashed into them.
