"Come on Luke, we want you back home."
"No you want me back home. And I guess even Gabby does too…but the one person who doesn't is dad."
"Luke, your father loves you….."
"No he doesn't mom. Don't you think I've heard the stories? I know he never wanted me."
"Luke that's not how it was at all."
"Then how was it? I want to know the truth."
"Luke I don't…."
"Mom I'm 16, I have the right to know the truth."
Christine knew she had to tell him, he never would come back home if she kept on lying to him. She sighed and began, "Luke, I wasn't married to your father when I got pregnant with you. And when I found out about you, he didn't want any part in it. He wasn't even around for much of the pregnancy. I had told him from the very beginning that I was gonna keep you. And it wasn't until the moment he saw you after you were born that he decided that he did want to be part of your life."
"What made him change his mind?" Luke asked.
"He almost lost you and me for good. That ex-girlfriend who they're still looking for for your kidnapping, she did something to my car that caused me to crash. If it wasn't for your Uncle Luke getting me out of the car, then neither of us probably would've been here."
"Is that how I got his name?"
Christine nodded, "Your father decided on it. Said that it was perfect for you because if it wasn't for your Uncle Luke, then we wouldn't have been safe, nor would he have realized he had been such a jerk. Now look Luke, I'm not making excuses for how your father is becoming cause I don't know why he's like this."
"It's just that, I used to look up to dad you know. I saw his car racing on television and I wanted to be just like him. Now I'm not so sure anymore."
