Sitting on a bed was really boring, no other way to put it. Nurses loved to attend to me, needless to say I was well taken care of but as the sun shone out side my window I wanted nothing more than to get out of here. I still felt pain in my chest and they wouldn't let me go for another few days, and odd enough I haven't heard from anyone in two days. I was about to press the nurse button just so I had someone to talk to at least when Mia walked in. utoh. She came over to me smiling but I couldn't give her a grin only a fake smile.

"How are you feeling?" She said it in such a tone I felt like she was the doctor. She was nothing but a mistake and rebound from Liberty.

"Ok I should be let out in a few days."

"You should know Liberty is staying at your house, Your grandma is letting her live there after her parents kicked her out." Liberty get kicked out? Why would she turn to my grams? I gave a her your lying look.

"Why did Liberty get kicked out?"

"I don't know all I know is that bitch started yelling at me in Simpsons homeroom and we both got detention, when I had nothing to do with it. I'm telling you she hasn't changed, shes still controlling." I looked at her, Mia although with child was still sometimes immature and that coming from me was saying something. I never really felt the spark when I kiss her or the contentment when I hold her as I do with Liberty it has to end here.

"Look, What ever you have with Liberty cut it out. I hate to have to say this because your such a beautiful girl and all but I'd rather still be friends."

"But you love me?"

"No I love Liberty, I thought I loved you but your just not her." I poked the bull in the ass and I should of watched my words a bit more.

"So all that I did? I let you near my daughter even after I found out about the drugs, Jt your such an ass. Your nothing better than Lucas." It hurt me that she would compare me to that piece of shit that left her and Izzy alone yet in a way, I tried to with Liberty and Sam maybe I wasn't any better. Yet who was she to tell me who I am.

"Leave, Don't call, don't try to find comfort in me or my friends, don't even talk to me until you can talk with a level head because what you just said was way out of line Mia. Things like that kept me from loving you, how you always put down Liberty and how you practically hate my friends."

"I tried to keep you away from her. But if you want to crawl back to that scum then go ahead, so many others would want me." She got up and slapped me before leaving. I wasn't mad at her I just felt free. The doctor came in after she left and saw that Mia was all mad.

"You ok James? I thought I told her to not come back here." This lady with blonde short hair and green eyes I practically owed my life to. When I got out of here I plan on being a changed man.

"It's ok she was just leaving. She was my girlfriend." The doctor nodded and took the bandages off and I had a thin pink scar down my chest but it wasn't that bad.

"I think its ok to remove the staples and in a few days time go home?" I nodded to her and she removed the staples I felt a slight pinch on the first one but after that it was painless.

Three days later.

It was mid day and I waited for my gram to bring my clothes so I could go home. She arrived a few hours after I called her and she hugged me.

"Don't ever scare me like that James Tiberius again. Get dressed and I'll sign you out, there's someone at home that would be glad to see you." I smiled knowing the surprise guest anyway. I stood and pulled on real clothes and my god did it feel like a relief. I pulled on my Vans and I felt set to run although I wasn't supposed to do more than walk around. The nurse that had a little crush on me came in with a wheel chair and I was wheeled out to my grams old Cadillac. I got in the seat and she drove off to home. I shut the door and walked slowly to the door, muscles were a little weak after a month of not being able to move. I opened the door and was faced with two people I didn't expect to see. I fumbled for a seat finding the couch.

"Mom, more importantly Dad." I was in shock, so this was my infamous father, the one that skipped out on us when I was born. I was angry, shocked beyond anything. He looked just like me or rather I looked liked him. I had the same jaw line, nose, eye color and his hair was the same chestnut as mine.

"Yes son I came to visit you. I spoke to your mother after I heard you got stabbed on the news, I just knew it was you from the same looks as I have."

"Seventeen years, no call, no Christmas, I grew up wondering what I did wrong not to have my parents around. Mom you left right before I needed you the most. I needed guidance bad."

"James what ever you did can't be that bad."

"I had a kid, with Liberty and gave him up for adoption, I sold Oxycontin and when things got bad I tried it for the first and last time and overdosed. I almost killed my self. All because I had no one to turn to. Now you guys decided to show after I get stabbed? Mom you usually come around but you left when I started high school your visits have gotten less and less as you went to go find your self. I haven't seen you for a year. You I don't even know your real name, in my book your no father to me."

"Jt I didn't want to skip out but you know how bad it gets by the sound of it. I just couldn't deal."

"Yah but at least I never wanted to give my kid away I tried but once your on suicide watch your rights go out the window." I thought I would come home and see Liberty but seeing my parents wasn't the surprise guest I had thought of. I turned to my Gram and saw she was in the same state I was. She stood.

"I'm sorry but I did not let you in my house so I ask you to leave." My dad nodded and went to the door.

"I'm only in Toronto for a week before I go back to California. You want to see me James I left the number." He walked out the door and closed it behind him. My gram was shaking with anger.

"HOW DARE YOU!" She screamed at my mother.

"You don't show for a year and I'm here raising your son, not that I regret it but your off with his father? I thought you learned your lesson when he left you at 16 with a baby." I looked down I didn't want to hear this. It was as if I was making the same mistakes as my parents did. I guess history does repeat it's self.

"His father contacted me because he was in on business meeting the day Jt got stabbed he wanted to see his son. What was I supposed to say?" My gram sat down this wasn't good to her at this age.

"You should of said no or at least asked me if I wanted to see my father, did you ever think I may not of wanted to see him."

"James Tiberius what happened in the past happened we have both matured and we are together so your father and I will be around best you get used to it."

"I don't want you around you left me to be with him. That just sucks mom. What happened to you want the best for your son?"

"I tried with you James but you took nothing seriously. I was at wits end when I left. Your constantly in trouble and always getting bad marks in school. What was I supposed to do sit here and watch you piss your life away to?" Her voice was rising but I wasn't ready to forgive her yet.

"No you were supposed to be there for me, you know your son. Not off shacking up with baby daddy. Did you ever think that I just loved being who I was and did you ever think to try to accept it. I never asked you for help and when I wanted to you weren't around! My life isn't for when you want to come I want stability since my life was ever anything but." My deep voice rose so loud, I was standing in my mothers face and I didn't care, she left me and now I find it was for my dad whom she would never talk of to me. All I knew was that they had me and once she started getting swamped he jumped after high school breaking up with her and no I guess going to the Americas.

"I guess I will just go relax in my room till you can talk to me civilly James."

"No. Your room is being used I think its best if you leave. Since you seem so good at it." I knew I just threw a low blow but I wasn't ready to deal, not on my first day back. She left slamming the door like so many times before and I just moved to the kitchen to fix me one strong cup of coffee because it was only 2 and today was going to be long.
