Ezra's POV

I was still standing in Malcolm's karate class contemplating who I should choose. There was no way I would let my own son die, but I did not want him to touch Aria either.

Suddenly the melody of B-26 filled the air. It was my ringtone for whenever Aria called. "Hey," I said into the phone.

"Malcolm is not your son, Maggie cheated on you with Jake in high school. Maggie wants to date you. Malcolm is not your son, your not a dad. I read Maggie's diary. I swear I am not lying. Malcolm is not your son." Aria quickly said. She was talking so fast I could not understand what she was saying except the line, "Malcolm is not your son."

I could not describe how shocked I was. Maggie always seemed so sincere and honest. I never believed she would lie to me about something so big. And looking at Malcolm's fearful expression, I knew she had lied to him to. How could Maggie do that? Bitch!

And by Jake did she mean Malcolm's karate teacher? No, it can't be. Jake acts like a jerk but I refuse to believe he would kill his own son!

"The clock is ticking." I heard Jake's voice. "You have 1 minute to make your decision." He commanded. After talking to Aria, I would not let anyone who is not me touch her. But on the other hand, I would not let an innocent child die. I had absolutely no idea what to do.

Maggie's POV

I was currently driving to Malcolm's karate class. Ezra was supposed to drop Malcolm a few hours ago. I had first gone to Ezra's apartment but the only person there was the high school girl, drunk and passed out.

I parked my car in an empty slot and marched towards the room. I was hoping Jake would be there so I could ask him if Ezra picked Malcolm up or not. Luckily, the lights were on. I hoped that would be a sign Jake had not left yet.

I barged into the room and was greeted with a shocking sight. My son was tied to the wall and his real father was pointing a gun at his face. His fake father was just standing there, to shocked to move.

"What the fuck?" I demanded. What was going on? Why was Malcolm tied to the wall? Why did Jake have a gun? Why was Ezra here? Questions danced around, inside my brain. Was Malcolm going to die?

"Maggie!" Ezra said coldly. "How's Malcolm's father doing?" I was speechless. Did he know? How did he find out? What should I say now?

"How could you do this to me? How could you tell me I was Malcolm's father? How could you destroy my relationship with Aria?" Ezra was screaming right now. I had never seen him so pissed in my entire life. "And after that, you thought I would date you! What the fuck is wrong with you?"

Oh my god! What should I do now? I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out. "I'm sorry." I managed to say.

"Your sorry? You think sorry will make up for all the crap I have been through in the past 1 month because of you? I hate you, Maggie and I never want to see you or your son EVER again!"

Holy Crap. He is ditching me. Now I am back to square one. I am a single mom but now Ezra will tell his mother to stop paying me money. Oh crap. How am I supposed to look after Malcolm by myself? But I know that what I did was wrong. I never should have lied to Ezra.

"Excuse me, but what the hell is going on here?" Jake asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Thats exactly what I should be asking you." I shot back. "Why is my son tied to the wall with a gun pointed at his face?"

"Oh, that's just because Ezra would not let me sleep with his girlfriend. Now, I have no option but to kill him." Jake replied, like he killed innocent children everyday, like it was no big deal that he was going to end someones life.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I screamed at him. "You can't kill him. He's your son!" Okay, I did it. I told Jake, Malcolm was his son.

I stared at him, trying to read his face for any emotions. After a few seconds he lowered the gun a little bit.

"Oh," He replied, still taking in the huge amount of information I had given him. "Wow! That's just, wow!" Was that a 'yay, I'm a dad!' wow or a 'oh crap, I am a dad' wow?

Jake's POV

Oh my god! What am I doing? I am killing my own son! Malcolm was my son. I have a son. I am a dad. Holy crap!

"Are you going to kill your son?" Ezra's voice asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts.

No, I can't kill him. He his my son. Even though I want to sleep with Aria, there is no way I will kill my own son.

"No." I told Ezra. Then I turned to face Maggie. "Even though I am not going to kill Malcolm, it does not mean I will be involved in his life. You are on your own."

Ezra and Maggie nodded and I undid the ropes that tied Malcolm to the wall. Malcolm ran to his mother and jumped into her arms.

"Good bye," I said as I put the gun back into my pocket and walked out of the room.

I tried to block the thoughts in my head as I drove back to my apartment.

Ezra's POV

Wow! So much had happened in the last 5 hours, I was still trying to take in the newly exposed information.

"Are you still going to be a part of Malcolm's life?" I heard Maggie ask me. Oh my god! She still thinks I was to help her with raising her son! What the fuck was wrong with her? She lied to me and thinks I will help her look after her son!

"No fucking way!" I screamed. "There is no way I will help you look after your son. No fucking way!"

Maggie nodded, tears falling down her cheeks. She deserved it. She deserved all the pain she will go through when she is looking after Malcolm alone without any money.

"Okay," she replied, walking out of the door.
