FES: YAY! I got my first A in vocabulary.
Teacher: Yes, even Jill can get an A+ in vocabulary.
FES: *Takes Jill's vocabulary words* Boat? Ginger? Mary Anne? Skipper? Professor? Hawaii? It's more like Giligan's Island!
Jak looked in Bryce's eyes. Oh crap! He couldn't just say no and leave. That's leaving a daughter. He looked at Abby who was looking at her picture, Blizz had, somehow, tied Pastel on a crayon and put him in the microwave. Luckily, the gecko is use to the heat since Abby always puts the heat on too much. Back to Jak, he didn't know what to say. He looked at Keira and back at Bryce.
"I don't care! I never had a dad!" Bryce cried. Keira looked at her.
"What about Erol?" Keira asked, looking lovely at the window. Jak's phone rang and he answered.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Tell Keira Erol is an asshole!" Chris yelled. Jak looked at the door and there she stood. Wearing the usual, a black buttoned shirt, black pants and a red tie. Keira also looked.
"I thought he was rather cute. He loved Bryce and Ab-" Keira was cut off. Bryce rose.
"He used you so he could get us! Have you ever asked Abby what he did to her?" Bryce asked. Keira looked at Abby. "Tell her Abby."
"Erol said that playing with dolls are for babies and I'll never have friends. And that ..." Abby looked down but Jak lifted her chin to looked at his smile. "My real daddy left me because he didn't think I was pretty." Jak held Abby as close as he could.
"I don't think your pretty ... I know." Jak said.
Keira walked to them and took Abby. "I never want you near my daughters! Leave and never come back." Keira yelled. Chris jumped over Keira's couch.
"You can't do that! Jak has half custody of them." Chris said. She looked at them. "Let's see who they what to live with." Bryce looked between her parents.
"I want to live with ... dad. When I'm with him, I feel I can climb the palace and I'm not afraid to fall because I know he'll catch me." Bryce said. While she explained, Blizz fell off the coffee table but Pastel caught him. Abby looked around and with her high pitch voice she said, "I want dad."
Keira grabbed her daughters and punched Jak out the door, who tripped and hit his head against a rock. Jak laid there, groaning for a half hour and got back up. He felt the back of his head and looked at his hand, wide eyed. Blood. He walked away and tried to get a taxi but he thought it said exit.
3 days later ...
Bryce and Abby have been avoiding their mother. Their aunt, Chris, left to look for Jak. Abby has been doing tea parties but only one empty seat. Bryce opened her door.
"What are you doing?" Bryce asked. She noticed there was one empty seat.
"Tea party!" Abby laughed. She poured hot chocolate in the cup that was placed in front of the empty chair. Bryce leaned against the door frame.
"No one's sitting there." Bryce said as she tried to sit in it but Abby whined a little.
"I'm waiting for daddy." Abby said. Bryce shook her head, she knew Abby was in denial. She left, leaving Abby to her tea party. Keira passed by the door but looked in the room. Abby sat there.
"What's that?" Abby asked. "I love you, too." Keira sighed. Abby will forget about Jak and she'll grow up to be like Bryce, too tough to let love in. Keira heard the phone ring but Bryce was already picking it up.
"Yo." Bryce said.
"Bryce! Billie Joe Armstrong wants to do a duet with you!" Zoey said as she picked out an outfit. "Good News: Calbie Caillat is stuck in the hospital!"
"Oh my god! Why is that good?" Bryce said.
"Because, Jason Mraz is guest staring and wants to sing Lucky while Green Day provides the music. So, Billie Joe told him about Bryce Hagai and he said he wants to sing with you!" Zoey said.
Bryce shook her head. "My last name is not Hagai - thank god - its Mar." Bryce could hear Zoey gasping on the other line.
"Mar? As in, Jak Mar from Spargus City who's son of Damas Mar who died in a car crash in Jak's arms. AND his mother was a stripper and would force Jak in closets while she was at work then beat him for being born while his sister watched the whole scene but then she was taken by a guy and had a better life. Then his mom died while Jak was passed out?" Zoey said. Bryce looked at the the phone.
"Is that it? And yes, Jak is my dad." Bryce said. She hung up and dialed a different number.
"Haven City Hospital, how may I help you?"
Abby: *Walks up to FES desk* Want tea?
FES: It's hot chocolate.
Abby: It. Is. Tea.
FES: O_o
