*****************************************************************************************************

Walking up to her front door. Kelsi let out an angry sigh.

"Kels, wait up, I'm sorry what happen between Jason and I he started it. Telling me to stay the fuck out of his son's life and yours!"

Kelsi took a deep breath and turned around to face Ryan, "Ryan go home, and I'll talk to you later. I can't deal with this right now!"

Ryan put his head down, defeated he nodded his head and walked back to his car. Turning away she opened her door and walked inside, finding her mom on the couch she closed the door. "Hey mom, what are you still doing up?"
Emily looked up surprise, "I should be asking why your home so early, what happen?

"Sighing Kelsi plopped down on the couch next to her mom, "what didn't happen tonight! Jason was annoyed with me at the club and he got in a fight with Ryan. I don't know what happen. I had just sat down next to the girls and we turned around and Jason and Ryan are pushing each other!"

Wrapping an arm around her daughter, she kissed her forehead, "sounds like they were fighting for your attention. What's does Ryan want from you?" Kelsi looked at her mom confused, "I don't know. He's my friend. He was there for me when Jay was born."

Katy nodded her head at her daughter, "I noticed he didn't look happy when Jay was talking about his daddy. Did Jay really call Ryan daddy?" Kelsi sighed and shrugged her shoulders, "I think a few times when he first started talking. I also corrected him and told him that Ryan was his uncle."

Katy stood up and nodded, "baby it's time for bed. It's already…" looking at the clock, she smiled, "it's already 1:15a.m. It's late sweetheart. Don't you have a date tomorrow?"

Kelsi stood up and smiled at her mom, "your right I have a date with my baby daddy." Katy made a face at her daughter, "don't call him your baby daddy, and call him Jase."

Laughing the girls headed up the stairs to go to bed.

THE GUYS….

Jason was beyond furious, he was walking in a circle muttering deathly things about Ryan. The guy's were looking at each worriedly. Frank stepped up to his brother, "do you want me to take you to Kelsi? She's probably home by now." Growling and looking at his brother angrily, "She's probably in bed with him right now!"

The guys jumped back in shock, Troy held up his hands in surrender, "bro don't bite our heads off. We're just worried about you. Your getting aggressive."

Jason turned his back to them. Panic coursing through his body. Hearing screams of pain and gunshots Jason cringed. Chad stepped up to him and put his hand on Jason's shoulder, jumping in surprise, Jason moved away from Chad and took a breath. "You scared me. Don't sneak up on me." Chad looked at Jason with worry written all over his face. "We should get some ice on your face."

Jason shook his head, "let's just go home, I'm tired and I want to go to sleep now." The guys nodded and jumped in Zeke's SUV. Dropping Frank and Jason off, the guys waved bye and ran inside. Jason ran up to his and plopped down on his bed.

Taking a deep breath, Jason tried to clear the images of his dead comrades and dead bodies out of his head. Finding it hard to do he let out an anger growl. Laying on his back he looked at his ceiling. His thoughts went to Kelsi and how beautiful she looked that night. Closing his eyes he smirked remembering how he had taken her against the wall at the club. Ryan's face appeared and he growled. Opening his eyes he looked at his clock, it read 1:35a.m. Getting up he walked over to his drawer, pulling some baller shorts out, he changed his clothes. Grabbing his basketball he went downstairs to shoot some hoops hoping to clear his mind.

KELSI…..

Walking down the stairs, Kelsi let out a yawn. Finding her son on the couch she smiled gentle at him. Taking a seat next to him she put an arm around him. "What are you watching baby?" Jay looked up at his mom, "I want daddy."

Kelsi looked down at him in surprise, "daddy's sleeping right now baby." Jay sat up excitedly, "daddy's here?" Kelsi ran her hand through her son's hair and shook her head. "Daddy's at his house with his family."

Jay stood up and looked at his mom in anger, sticking out his bottom lip. "No, daddy's family is here!"

Katy walked into the living room confused, "what's with the yelling?" Kelsi looked at her mom in shock, "Jay wants his dad."

Katy walked up to her grandson and sighed down at him, "Remember how mommy taught you how hard it is to wake daddy?" Jay nodded his head, smiling at him. "Daddy is like grandpa they don't wake up till noon."

Jay giggled at his grandma and then looked at his mom excitedly, "let's wake daddy." Kelsi looked at her mom for help, Katy nodded and walked up to Jay and put her hands on her waist, "'what about me? You want your daddy more than me? That hurts!"

Jay giggled and hugged his grandma leg, "I love you granny!" Leaning down she picked up Jay, "then you can help grandma, come on."

Kelsi watched her mom take her son. Slouching in the couch Kelsi looked at the clock. It was already 11 in the morning. She had woken up late. Grabbing the phone next to her she dialed Jason house number. Hearing it ring, she picked up the TV remote and turned the TV off.

"Hello? Cross resident."

Kelsi smiled when she recognized Christy voice, "Hey Chris is your brother up yet?" Christy let out a laugh, "Kels you seem to forget how my brother sleeps. That boy could sleep through…..what are you doing awake already?"

Kelsi looked at the phone in confusion, "huh? Chris?"

Quickly muttering in the phone, "Hold on!" Christy put the phone down, "Jase what are you doing up already? It's not even noon."

Jason raised an eyebrow at his sister, "that was when I was younger, you seem to forget in the military you sleep at weird hours." Christy nodded and grabbed the phone holding it out for him, "it's your girlfriend."

Jason lifted his hand and shook it away, "I don't want to talk to her or see her, tell her I'm done with her." Christy's mouth dropped in shock. Shaking her head she slapped him on the chest, "the mother of your son is on the phone, talk to her!"

Jason turned away from Christy and started walking up the stairs. "Is Jay really my son or Ryan's?" Christy watched her brother walk away from her. Bring the phone to her ear, "Kels, something is wrong with Jason, he's acting weird. You might have to come here and deal with him. All of a sudden he seems to think Jay isn't his."

Kelsi's mouth dropped, she had heard everything the siblings had said to one another. Standing up, "he doesn't think Jay is his! He's the only I've slept with and still sleeping with! I'll be there in a few minutes!"
Kelsi hug up the phone and walked into the kitchen, "mom I'm going to Jason's. I need to talk to him, he's being difficult." Jay looked up from his necklace and looked at his mom happily, "daddy?"

Kelsi shook her head at her son, "your staying here, daddy is being a pain right now. I need to straighten him out first." Katy gave her daughter a look, turning to her grandson, "daddy isn't feeling good. He wouldn't want to get you sick, you can visit him later, ok?"

Jay nodded his head grimily, Kelsi rolled her eyes at her mom. Grabbing her car keys she ran past her dad and out the door. Getting in her car she drove to Jason's. Parking in front of the house, she found Christy sitting on the swing on the patio. Kelsi jogged up to her, "hey, where is he?"

Christy looked at Kelsi worriedly, "it might be a bad idea to talk to him right now." Kelsi raised an eyebrow at her, "why? What's going?"

Standing up Christy walked up to her, "he thinks your dating Ryan and using him. Something is going on and I don't know what it is. He won't tell us." Kelsi nodded her head and looked at the front door, "where is he?"

Looking at the street, "he's in the backyard shooting hoops with Frank." Kelsi nodded and walked in the house with Christy trailing her. Opening the sliding she walked out toward the basketball court. "Jase!"

Jason went rigid, standing still Frank looked at his sister in worry. Refusing to look at Kelsi, "get the fuck out of my house!"

Christy and Frank snuck away back inside the house. Taking a seat on the kitchen counter to keep an eye on them. Kelsi took a step closer, "we need to talk! What's going on, you were fine 2 days ago?" Throwing his ball angrily at the basketball hoop it hit the backboard and rolled to her. Picking it up she walked up closer. Twirling the ball in her hands. "You fucked me against the wall and now your acting like this, what's going on?"

Jason spun around and took the ball from her. Throwing it at the fence, she looked at him in surprise, "I said get the fuck out, I don't want to see you or my supposedly son!" Kelsi's mouth dropped in shock, "what do you mean you don't want to see your son!?!"

Advancing on her, Kelsi started backing up. She finally backed up until she was against the house. Christy looked at her brother in worry. Frank held his hand up.

Jason glared down at her, "you used me, you were dating that traitor and you let me fuck you twice. You never told me you were with Ryan!" Confusion was written all over her face, looking at him in worry, "what are you talking about? I'm not dating Ryan! I want to be with you, but your not ready."

Slamming his first against his house. Kelsi jumped. He slammed his hand right next to her head. Hissing down at her, "I don't want you or your son, stay the fuck out of my life. Until you give me proof that he is my son, I don't want to see the bastard." Kelsi gasped at him, bringing her hands to her mouth, tears started falling from her face. "He's not a bastard, he's your son."

Jason raised his other hand, but someone grabbed it. Turing around he found his brother and sister looking at completely scared. Frank pulled him away from Kelsi, "what are you doing? That's your ex! Were you going to hit her?"

Kelsi fell to the ground crying, Christy ran to her side, wrapping her arms around Kelsi's small body she glared up at her brother. "What is your fucking problem, this is your girlfriend!" Frank pushed his brother further away from them, "what's going through your head?"
Jason stumbled back and pointed at Kelsi, "how do I know that kid is really mine? I've been gone for 4 fucking years!" Frank grabbed his brother, "bro your son looks exactly like you! What proof do you need?"

Jason fell to the ground, confusion was all over his face. "It was a mistake to come home. It's all my fault." Alex opened the back door, "what's going on out here?"

Seeing Kelsi on the floor with his daughter and Jason on the floor he walked out slowly. Starring at his son on the floor. "Jase please tell me you didn't hurt Kelsi."

Looking at his dad with pain in his eyes, "it's all my fault!" Alex knelt down next to Jason, "Frank, Christy, get Kelsi out of here. Jase what's your fault son?"

Christy and Frank gentle lifted Kelsi up. Helping her inside the house Emily looked up in shock. Rushing toward Kelsi, "oh my god your bleeding!" Kelsi brought a hand to her face and pulling it away. Seeing the blood she shook her head, "it's not mine, it's Jason." Emily looked outside and saw her husband dealing with her youngest son. Bring Kelsi to her she hugged her. Feeling Kelsi shaking in her arms she looked at son, "Frank get a hold of the guys and have them get a hold of the girls." Frank nodded his head and ran out of the room. Christy looked at her mom in worry, "mom what's happening to Jason?"

Rubbing Kelsi back, "I don't know, something happen while he was overseas that we don't know about." Frank back in the room. "I got a hold of Troy, he's going to contact Gaby and they'll be in here in a few minutes."

Pulling away from Kelsi, "Hun you want something to drink? You want to lay down?" Shaking still, "I need to lay down." Emily nodded at motion for her son to help Kelsi to the couch. Frank picked Kelsi up and carried her to the couch laying her down. Christy sat down next to her and rubbed her back. Frank looked at his mom, "I'm going to see if dad needs help." Nodding at her son, Frank left the room. Both girls shared a look.

OUTSIDE, BACKYARD….

Alex held his son, he was in utter shock. He had heard screaming and came out to investigate, finding his youngest son on his knees and a few feet away from him his ex was crying. Hugging his on, "Jase what happen? Tell me son."

Letting his tears fall, he muttered, "it's my fault their dead dad. I was their commanding officer and they died under my command." Rubbing his son's back, "it's not your fault. You couldn't change any of that son."

Jason shook his head, "if I gave them what they want, they would all still be alive!" hearing the back door open he saw Frank walking slowly toward them. "Jase is this why your home?"

Pulling away from his dad, Jason wiped his face. "They put me on leave after we were found. Dad I should be dead instead of them! They died to protect me!"Frank knelt down next to his brother, "no they didn't! They were doing their job, any solider would do that. It's not your fault. You weren't meant to die yet, you are he to be with the girl you love and your son! It's a sign Jase, this is your second chance!"

Jason shook his head, "no, I can't be with her. I can't do this, I can't be here. It's too hard. I need to leave, I need to clear my head." Alex nodded his head, "fine son, we'll get you a flight back to base." Frank looked at his dad in shock, "dad you can't let him run away!"

Alex held up his hand, "he's not ready to be home, there's too much going on, this is all going to break him even more." Frank starred at his father in anger, "what about his son and girlfriend? What about Kelsi, she's breaking at this moment!"

LIVING ROOM….

Emily opened the door and smiled down at Gaby and Troy, "sorry guys, but some stuff has happen. Troy and Gaby nodded, walking into the house, Gaby rushed to Kelsi side. Troy looked at Emily, "where's Jason?" Keeping her eyes on the girls, "there outside on the court."

Troy nodded and hurried out side. Opening the door, Frank looked at him with relief, pointing at his dad, "he's letting Jase leave!" Troy walked out slowly, "why does he want to leave?"

Alex looked at Troy, "he's having flashbacks, all this drama isn't helping him here, it's making it worst. What ever he went through there is haunting him here."

Frank and Troy looked at Jason. Jason had his head against his knees. Troy knelt down, "is this what you want? To leave your family, son, friends and Kelsi? We can help you through this Jase, let us in, let Kelsi in." Jason looked at Troy emotionless, "I want to be left alone, and I don't want anyone."
Troy shook his head, "here's the thing, and we're not going to let that happen. Your not leaving, you need to rest and take it easy right now."

MR. EVAN'S OFFICE….

Taylor followed Sharpay as they strolled to Mr. Evans office. Knocking on the door.

"Come in!"

Sharpay opened the door and smiled at her father, "hi daddy, I need a favor." Laughing at his daughter he smiled, "with what princess?"

Taylor stepped forward, "we need to find out some information on a friend of ours." Mr. Evan's looked at Taylor, "which friend? Troy? Zeke?" Sharpay shook her head, "it's on Jason Cross."

Mr. Evans looked at his daughter in surprise, "Cross? Number 23 for the wildcats right?" Sharpay and Taylor nodded their heads in surprise. Laughing at the girls, "Girls I love the wildcats, remember I went to all the games. So what kind of information did you need?"

Smiling sweetly at her dad, "we want to know why he's back. We heard he's on leave because something happen. We want to make sure it's true." Mr. Evan rubbed his chin, "military…that's going to be hard. Let me get a hold of your godfather, it's going to take a couple of hours, is that okay?"

The girls nodded their heads happily, "Thanks!"

And I'd swim the ocean for you
The ocean for you
Whoa, Kelsey
And I'd swim the ocean for you
The ocean for you
Whoa, Kelsey (Metro Station- Kelsey)

Sharpay took her phone out and smiled at Taylor, "it's Kels, only she would have that ringtone." Answering her phone, "Hello? Gaby? What? We'll be there in a few minutes." Hanging up the phone, she looked at Taylor, "something happen at Jason's house. Kelsi needs us!" Turing to her dad, they waved and ran out of his office to Sharpay's car. Jumping in they drove to Jason's house.

CHAD AND ZEKE

Chad groaned, he had no idea why he was at Zeke bakery competition, he had better things to do. Looking over at his friends smiling face, he smiled to himself knowing why he was there. Looking down at his cell he sighed, it had been a long morning. Noticing Zeke walking up to him, "hey bro, so is the verdict in yet?"

Zeke smiled excitedly, "not yet, but it's close!"

I see the guys tryna' holla,
girl I don't want to bother you,
cause your independent and you got my attention
And I'll be your baby father,
girl I just wanna show you, cause I love what you are doing

I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you
You're so beautiful, So damn beautiful
Said your so beautiful, So damn Beautiful
You're so beautiful.. (Akon- Beautiful)

Chad and Zeke looked down at Chad's phone. Zeke raised his eyebrow, "who is it?" Chad blushed, "it's Taylor." Picking up his phone, "hello? What? Is she okay? Is Jase? Okay, well meet you there. I'm with Zeke right now. Ok, bye."

Hanging up he stared down at his phone in shock. Zeke looked at Chad in worry, "what's wrong? What did she say?" Chad looked at Zeke in worry, "something happen at Jason's house, Jase broke down. They think he might have hit Kels." Zeke shook his head, "he wouldn't do that, he loves her."

Chad nodded his head, "we need to leave now." Zeke looked at his entry and back at Chad, "Let's get out of here." Chad looked at Zeke in surprise, "you don't want to know if you won?" Zeke shook his head, "our brother needs us."

Chad nodded his head, both guys ran out of the kitchen to Chad's car. Jumping in they headed straight to Jason's house.
