Ok, so, I had to get rid of a lot of things in this chapter. And I mean a lot. There was going to be a whole Barrett giving Kyle a BJ part but I took that out. Then there was going to be a huge part of Kyle going to the clinic and Ray doing some *cough* stuffs, but I took that out as well. I also took out a part of Barrett kicking Max's ass. Yup. All of this just didn't fit. Maybe I just haven't been getting enough sleep and I don't really know what I'm doing with this chap. xP any way, try to enjoy it...

Oh, I also have the 1st chap with audio. It's gonna be me and some friends. Our youtube is, CauseWeLikeReading . We only have one so far. I'll put more info somewhere else...

-Kyles POV-

"W-what?"

"I'm sorry!" Aria said, hugging my arm. "I didn't mean to tell Ms. Yue!"

"It's alright," I say, as I hug her tightly. "When did you see Mommy with Max?"

"Yesterday... And some days before that..."

"Oh.. Alright..." I got up and carried Aria with me. "Come on, let's go downstairs for a bit..." We walked down the stairs. Barrett was behind me. I sat on the carpet with Aria. Barrett sat next to me.

"Where did Mommy go?"

"I don't know... Don't worry she should be back soon..." I hope...

Hours passed by of just me, Barrett, and Aria sitting on the floor. Where the hell are you, Mana?

Barrett stood up. "Hey, I'll go look for Mana for you."

I stood up right after him and kissed him on the cheek. "You sure?"

"Yeah. Don't worry. I'll get her. You should just stay here with your kid." He hugged me tightly. "Bye,"

"Bye.." He walked toward the door then back outside. I sat down again.

"Daddy..." Aria asked.

"Yeah?"

"...Mommy loves Mr. Max more than me, doesn't she? She doesn't love me anymore, Daddy. Sometimes I wish I'd disappear, maybe Mommy would be happy."

My heart broke right then and there. How could my sweet little girl possibly think this? Have I not been spending enough time with her? What the hell has Mana been doing while I was gone?

I hugged my child. "Aria. Aria don't think that. Mommy loves you. I love you. We want you to be with us forever. Aria you're the best thing that has ever happened in my life, we love you so much."

"Y-you do?"

"Yes! Of course!"

"... Daddy, I love you! And I love Mommy! And I love Mr. Barrett! But... I don't love Mr. Max..."

"Really? Why?"

"Because he tries too hard, er something... Ms. Yue told me that!"

-Barrett's POV-

Of course the first place to go would be Max's. God I hate it there. Too fancy.

I walk at a fast pace. I hate seeing Kyle and Aria like this. They looked so sad. So hopeless. Like everything was dying and they were next in line.

But Kyle's also cheating on Mana. There's too many lies. Too many secrets. Too much of everything. I can't stand it.

I finally get to Max's... Manor or what ever. To tell the truth I really don't give a damn as to what it is. I knock at the door. Cecillia opens it.

"Oh. Hello Barrett. Come in," she stepped out of the way and I walked into the huge house. Or manor. Again I don't give a fuck.

"Hey, Cecillia," I start, "Have you seen Mana?"

"Hmm? Oh.. Um.. Well, yes. She came here a few hours ago."

"Is she still here?"

"Yes."

"Alright thanks," She nodded and I went up the stairs. Ok, now, this shouldn't be that hard, right? I look around a bit. Oh. Wow. That's... That's a lot of doors.

I walk down the hall and open up random doors. All I got so far was a sleeping Herman and a bunch of empty rooms. There's only a few left left, I can do this. I open up the next door - nothing. Then the next and HOLY SHIT.

"WHAT THE FUCKER?" I yell in complete shock.

Ok, so, I open it and find Max and Mana naked. In bed together. On top of each other. Oh God they had sex, didn't they?

"WHAT THE MOTHER FUCKING HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" I can't stop the words that come out of my mouth. I mean, put a sock on the door handle or something, jeez. Would've made looking around much easier.

"B-Barrett!" Mana said, covering herself with the blanket.

"Oh my God! So your daughter is in fucking need of a mother and all you do is go and fuck up a... A bitch just like you! You make my fucking sick. Aria doesn't even like Max. What the hell is you're problem? One fight that's all, so you decide to have mother fucking animal sex! You slut!"

"Why don't you just shut the fuck up, Barrett?" Max said, glaring at me.

"...Why? Why? Maybe because you're fucking a married woman who just so happens to also have a child. I can't believe what I'm seeing. I really can't. You know what, Mana?"

"...What?"

"Kyle deserves someone much better than you, you shouldn't even be allowed to see your child if you're going to act like this. What kind of example is this showing her? You've been a horrible mother, I'm sorry. You know, I'd have more respect for you if you weren't such a whore."

I slammed the door back shut and turned around to leave. I walked down the stairs again and said thanks to Cecilla.

"Wait, Barrett," she asked, tugging at my sleeve a bit. "I heard yelling upstairs. Is everything alright?"

"...Yeah," I forced out a reply, "Everything's... Fine."

"Oh..." She looked down at her feet for a moment then opened up the door for me again.

"Thanks," I said, as I walked back outside. She just nodded her head again.

I walked back to Kyle's taking my time. God I just.. Can't believe what I saw in there. I thought they only did it once, but every time Mana gets upset? Jeez... I probably shouldn't have called her a slut or a whore, for that matter... That was childish, but, oh well. Shocking things tend to make people just blurt things out.

I finally got back to Kyle's. I walked inside. Ray was there. I glared at him.

"The fuck you doing here?" I asked, shutting the door behind me. Ray just smiled.

"Oh, well, I came to visit... Kyle seemed a little sick so I gave him some medicine." His smile turned into a mocking one.

"Where is he?"

"Upstairs. He fell asleep."

"You bastard you better not have done anything."

"Psh, of course I didn't. I'm not an idiot, I knew you were going to come back. Anyway, I could care less weather or not you have a cold as well, I'm leaving." Ray collected his things, pushed me aside and left. I walked up stairs and went into Aria's room first. She was sleeping. I went into Kyle's. He was sleeping as well. He looked so cute. So defenseless, like he said. He was on the side of his bed that was against the wall. I took off my shoes,jacket and scarf. I slid into bed with him in it, and pulled the covers up a bit. I held him tightly. He maid a groaning type of noise.

Oh... Oh my.. Damn it boner, not now! Go away.

I played with his hair for a bit. Then I noticed that he wasn't wearing his usual clothes. I shook him a bit and he woke up.

"Hmm? Wha? B-Barrett?" He sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes.

"Heeey, so I heard Ray came over."

"Yeah. He wanted to say hi. Then he told me I had a cold so he gave me some medicine and I fell asleep,"

"HE DRUGGED YOU?!"

"What? No! I went up here first and got changed so I could go to sleep-"

"Did he watch?"

"Watch what?" God Kyle you're so clueless.

"You getting dressed?"

"Of course not!"

I hugged him tightly. "Good."

He hugged back. "You know I wouldn't let him. Plus it's not like he wanted to see. He just gave me medicine and left."

I smiled. "... I love you,"

"I love you too, Barrett."

I held him in my arms for a good amount of time. I wanted to stay like this forever with him. But sadly I can't.

"Kyle, I have something I need to tell you,"

"Yeah?"

I sighed. He lifted his head up to look at me.

"Well, I found Mana..."

"Yeeeah?"

"And... Well.. I kinda... walked in on her and Max while they just finished having.. .Sex."

Kyle looked at me with an expressionless face. His hid his face back into my chest and started crying. A lot.

I patted his head and let him cry. It's better to let it out then to hold it in.

He sniffled a bit.

"I-Im so-sorry, Ba-rrett... I don't know why I'm so upset if I'm cheating on her too..."

"It's alright, Kyle. You gave her a lot of love that she just threw away."

"..."

We both sat up, Kyle still wrapping his arms around me.

I got a couple tissues that were next to the bed (I wonder if Kyle masturbates while I'm gone... No other reason to have tissues so close by,) and handed them to him. He blew his nose with them and threw them away in the trash that was also next to his bed.

I kissed his cheek.

"You know I have a cold, right?" He said, rubbing his eyes again.

"Yeah... But I don't care." I kissed his forehead, then the tip of his nose. "If I get your cold then I can share a bed with you."

He smiled weakly.

"Are you gonna be alright?" I held his hand.

"Y-yeah... I guess so... I don't know about how Aria's going to feel about this, though. I mean, Barrett, I just..." He sighed. I put an arm around his waist.

"Don't worry, Kyle... Everything's going to be fine, I promise."

He kissed me on the lips. "I hope so."

I couldn't help but smile.

"Well, hey, I'll go make you some tea, alright?"

"Ok..." He laid back down in bed and I pulled the covers up for him. Before leaving I placed a kiss gently on his forehead.

I went down the hall, checked on Aria, then went downstairs. I started brewing the tea when someone knocked on the door.

"Oh, more visitors, that's just... Great."

I sighed and went to the door. At least I know it's not Mana, otherwise the door would've just been broken down or something. I can imagine how much she'd want to kill me.

I opened it. Oh hey it's Yue and Dorothy.

"Hey," I said as I let them in. They were holding hands.

"Barrett, I saw Mana leave Max's and she looked peeved. What'd you do?" Yue said, as she and Dorothy sat on the couch near the stair case.

"What? Me? Psssh, nothing!" I went back to the tea.

"We know you did or said something. What was it? I wanna know what everyone's worked up about."

I sighed. "Well I walked in on her and Max and I went off on her saying that Kyle deserved someone better."

"...Really? That's not news at all! I thought you woulda punched Max, or, or... Kicked him in the balls! You're so boring, Barrett. Like a parrot that doesn't talk. I'm calling you Barrett parrot from now on. Enjoy your new nickname."

"Oh wow, I'm so over-joyed. Call the joy police, cuz I be stealin all your joy!" I put my hands up and waved them around a little. "So why'd you come here anyway?"

"I dunno. I got bored so I thought me and Dorothy could stay here for a bit."

"Well, it ain't my house. Mana'll probably throw you guys out. She's a bitch."

"Awww, Barrett, don't say that! She's nice... Sometimes."

"Yeah. Nice enough to share her vagina with everyone"

Yue looked at me and frowned. "Come on, she's not that bad,"

"Yeah, whatever."

The tea was finished and I walked back upstairs. I went back into Kyle's room.

"Hey," I said, walking over to his nightstand and setting the tea down. "You feelin alright?" I asked, placing the back of my hand to his forehead.

"Y-yeah.." he said, rather weakly. I couldn't help but worry a bit.

He tried sitting up but failed and just fell back onto the bed. I helped him up a bit.

"Thanks..."

I held his hand. Fuck. What if it's more than just a cold? I'm probably just over reacting... Hopefully.

I'm far too lazy to go through and make sure this is alright for what seems like the 50th time. =_= I want ot and itallics but I just... I'm sorry I just have not been able to focus at all lately...
