"I hate him," Claire said getting up and going towards the door.
"Claire now don't get mad." Janine said. She was so glad that Claire believed her little lie. "Where are you going?"
"He doesn't care. He never cared. About me or my mother, or my brothers and sister. He's got three young children and he's still sleeping around. I'm going to my house."
"Claire I thought you couldn't face him?"
"Well now I wanna give him a piece of my mind. I want to know why he still does it."
"Claire remember it's not just him. Your mother's lying to. She doesn't love him either. They both don't love each other."
Claire nodded. "I need to talk to both of them." And with that she walked out the door and headed back home.

Bo and Christine had called everyone they knew and none of them had seen Claire at all that day. They had just gotten to the point to give up because it was clear that Claire didn't want to be found. Christine sat next to Bo on the couch and put her head on his shoulder, "She really doesn't want to be found does she?"
Bo shook his head and held Christine, "This is my fault. I really blew it this time."
"No you didn't Bo. I talked to her last night, she seemed to be fine. Or at least she pretended to be."
Just then the door opened and Claire came in. "Claire!" Bo and Christine both said going over to her.
"Get away from me, the two of you. Look I know all about what's going on."
"Claire what are you talking about?" Bo asked.
"Oh I don't know dad, how about how you can't seem to stay away from your ex. Even now you still sleep with her."
Bo and Christine looked at each other, "You've been staying at Janine's?" Bo asked. "You know she lies. How could you…"
"No dad how could you? Don't you care about any of us anymore? Oh wait, that's right why would you care about me, I was just a mistake you didn't want."
"Claire that is not true."
"Yes it is dad. Janine told me everything, how you felt just about everything. Maybe you shouldn't have gone back to mom. Then maybe she would've been with Uncle Luke, the guy that really does love her and also loves me as his own daughter. Don't bother to come looking for me. I don't want to stay in the same house as you for awhile." Claire said before walking out and slamming the door.
Bo looked at Christine, "What was she talking about?"
"You know just as much as I do Janine's lies again."
"No the part about me sleeping with her still is a lie. What's the part about Luke wanting to raise Claire?"
"When you left me while I was pregnant, Luke said that if you didn't want any part of her life and you never came back to me then he would love to raise her with me. He said that he loved her as of she was his own daughter."
"She's Luke's daughter isn't she?"
Christine looked at Bo, "What? Bo what are you talking about? She is your daughter."
"Yea right. You know you and Luke always seem to be so close and now I know why. You wanted me so badly that you pretended Claire was my baby, keeping her away from my cousin, who is her father."
"Bo you're talking crazy. This is just what Janine wants, for us to go against each other so you'll be an easy catch for her. Bo she wants you back, that's why she has our daughter staying with her."
Bo shook his head, "No you just wanted me all to yourself. You never cared about me or my feelings. And now look at us."
"Oh and what's wrong with us Bo? The fact that we've been together all these years or the fact that we have five children that we are raising?"
Just then Jesse came home from school with the rest of the kids cause he decided to pick them up. "Mom, dad, everything alright?"
Christine calmed down and turned to the door, "Yes Jesse everything's fine. Your sister is safe don't worry." And with that she went upstairs because she was about to cry after what just happened.
Jesse looked at Bo, "Dad? What just happened?"
Bo took a deep breath, calming himself down as well, "Nothing Jesse. Just…just go do your homework, all of you." He said following Christine upstairs.
