Jason Gray (Sr)

Karen let out a sigh and looked at Grace. "It was all so sudden how he just went" Karen said. "Back 16 years ago, your dad was always the hero of my dreams but 19 years back, I had offered to take your dad, Shane and Nate in so they could go to normal school"

Karen looked at Shane and Nate and they were just staring at her and she continued. "Your dad wasn't with me like a couple back then, he had found love with Tyson mom, Kerry Jansen was a lovely girl back then but she and your dad were a huge mistake...."

Karen took a sip of her water and looked at Grace, Jason and Tyson who were staring at her. "You see Shane, Nate and your dad had a promise not to have sex before marriage but your dad ruined it for himself, then after a few days, we all find out Kerry pregnant with Tyson of course and she gave birth but then she had abandoned and left Jason to deal with Tyson..." Karen stopped talking and started to look around and then looked back at Grace.

"Mom....." Grace began to say.

"I need to finish this off once and for all" Karen replied. "So Jason wasn't coping as well as I thought he would so I had helped out but then I had grown to close to him and start falling for Jason, I knew that the relationship couldn't possibly work because of Caitlyn but I didn't care and I had lost my daughter"

Shane had stood up and started walking around and Nate continues to stare at Karen. "But we made it work by refusing to deny it.....but few weeks after being in the relationship, it went downhill and I had been really ill one day and Jason couldn't handle it and decided to take Tyson out for the day but I had got really moody and angry with him for going out and leaving me on my own"

"Mom......" Grace said.

"You wanted to know and I'm giving you it" Karen responded. "I had fallen pregnant and Jason had come back but I couldn't make it work so I told him to leave and not to bother me anymore, then this is 2 years after that we reunited in the shop after Grace had did a disappearing act and I had found her waiting with Jason by the counter, he had looked after Grace along with Tyson and Shane but that night Jason came round to see if Grace was OK and I had thank him with a glass of wine and pizza...." Karen took another sip of her water and continued. "Then it had all hit off there, I had started cheating on my husband to be but I knew deep down inside Jason was still holding my heart, hard to forget but then Caitlyn had told me not to marry Craig but by then Kerry had returned and was up to no good, she had seduced Nate but she had held Nate hostage until she had Tyson but Jason wasn't letting it happen but then Jason put his brother first but I had offered Kerry a better offer but I left it too long before she shot Jason, she could have killed Caitlyn and herself as well but after all that happened Jason did manage to survive and I had told him about my pregnancy around with Jason here but after a few hours Jason had died in his sleep but that was it.....after that none of us knew how to get on with life or cope but here we are now talking about it which we should have done when you turned 16"

"Mom....." Grace began to say. "I know what happened"

Shane, Nate and Karen were shocked and Shane had asked Grace. "How do you know about all this?" Shane asked.

Grace went into her bag and got 4 old diaries out and put them on the table. "You should read them" Grace answered nervously. "I found them in the box back at home, dad had woke everything that happened down in the diary"

Shane sat down and took one of the diaries and opens it and he had felt a tear coming down his face. "So I'm guessing you know about the group" Nate said to Grace.

"What?" Grace asked. "That you were Connect 3"

Nate nodded along with Shane and Tyson was shocked. "What?" he burst out.

Shane and Nate looked at Tyson in confusion. "Why didn't you tell me?" Tyson asked. "If I had known I wouldn't have got Taylor to sing that song"

Shane got up and sat in front of Tyson. "I thought you knew" Shane answered.

"No I didn't" Tyson replied. "If I did I wouldn't have got Taylor to sing that song"

"It was a long time ago but you were around when it was all falling apart" Shane said. "You're dad was the main guitarist in the band"

"So that's where I've got my music talent from" Jason burst out.

Shane, Nate, Tyson, Grace and Karen looked at him and he just sat back down and looked at them all. Shane looked back at Tyson.

"I would have told you but I really thought you knew" Shane responded. "Even everyone else thought you knew"

Tyson shakes his head. "I'm sorry"

Tyson got up and left the Mess Hall and Shane stood up along with Nate and Karen stood. "Give him time" Karen said holding Nate and Shane back.

"But none of this is Tyson fault" Shane whispered.

"The poor boy in shock" Karen replied.

Shane looked at Nate and then at the diaries on the table. Shane sat back down with Nate.

"I really thought he knew" Shane let out again.

"Me too" Nate said.

Tyson was sat by the lake and he had been with his guitar and started playing some chords out of his dad old song book and he had heard footsteps coming behind him and he didn't bother looking to see who it was and the person had sat next to him and he looked at her.

"Err.....Caity?" Tyson questioned.

"Caitlyn.....but Nate calls me Caity but nothing else" Caitlyn replied with a little giggle. "What are you doing out here?"

"Just been in shock" Tyson said.

Caitlyn smiled weakly. "You know Shane and Nate really care about you Ty" Caitlyn responded.

"I know" Tyson let out. "And I love them for it"

Caitlyn smiled. "Maybe....just give it time and it will fall into place" Caitlyn said.

"Will you stay with me?" Tyson asked.

Caitlyn smiled and nodded. "Sure" Caitlyn answered.

Tyson smiled and continued to talk to Caitlyn and she had told Tyson a few things about Jason and it had made Tyson a bit happier to know that Jason was a lover to Karen and also a big bird lover. Caitlyn and Tyson laughed at Jason and the birdhouse.

"My dad in love with birdhouse" Tyson let out.

"Yeah he wanted Shane to make him one but he didn't" Caitlyn replied. "Then Jason had asked everyone on Camp if anyone would make him on and they all said no make it yourself but instead me and Nate helped him make one just to make him happy so yeah it true your dad loves bird and birdhouses"

Tyson laughed and Caitlyn smiled. "God, I haven't laughed like this since...."

Caitlyn looked at him. "I know"

Tyson smiled and hugged Caitlyn.

OK....I might have to leave it there for a few days because my family getting stress out so I'm sorry lol.
