Max and Alana were in the living room of the house. Max’s father, Harlan came into the living room. Alana and Max were watching TV together.
“Can I speak to you, Max?” Harlan asks.
“Sure. What is it?” Max asked his father. Harlan turned the TV down and sits down on the love seat near the sofa.
“Is something wrong?” Alana asks Harlan.
“No. Actually I have good news.”
“What is it?” Max asks. He felt nervous.
“So far, it looks like your mother and I will be able to take custody of you. We’re winning this so far.” Harlan tells Max. Max liked hearing that good news.
“Are you for real?!” Max asked happily. “I mean, I don’t hate grandpa. But I really want to live with you and mom!”
“Yes, I am being for real. Your grandpa is furious with your mother and I but it’s only right that you live with us. You were supposed to live with us but my father wouldn’t give you back when you were a baby. It was right after I had a job and got an apartment for us to live in. We only left you with your grandpa in the meantime until we were able to provide a home for you. And… when I was able to, I wasn’t allowed to take you back.”
“Grandpa shouldn’t have done all that. I don’t understand his reasons.” Max said staring at his father.
“I don’t understand him either.” Harlan turned the TV sound up. “You two can continue your show.” Harlan left the living room.
“That really is good news.” Alana said with a smile to Max. “I wouldn’t want you to feel upset not being able to see your parents.”
“My parents are really nice. I am not sure why my grandpa wants to be mean to them and fight.” Max was confused about his grandpa. “I am afraid if my grandpa found out about us he wouldn’t want us to be together…” Max held Alana’s hand. She blushes.
“I wouldn’t want to be separated from you.” Alana said to him.
Robert was kissing Lacy. She didn’t kiss his lips back. She just laid there with her eyes closed. She was thinking of Ronnie. “I… I don’t want to do this anymore… I want to be with them both. But… I… Ronnie is angry with me… He is. But I still think about him and care for him.” Lacy thought to herself. Robert stopped kissing Lacy.
“You’re thinking about Ronnie, aren’t you?” Robert asks. She nods.
“I am sorry.” Lacy apologized.
“There’s nothing to be sorry for.” Robert got up off the bed. “I think we should go look for Ronnie. Tell him to stop acting stupid.”
“Do you think he will come back?” Lacy asks.
“I don’t know. He’s being a pain in the ass.” Robert laughed a little. “Just try to talk to him. If not I will hit him.”
“But…” Lacy looks down. “I shouldn’t be in love with you both. It’s wrong.”
“I don’t give a fuck if it’s wrong. We all aren’t normal anyways. We kind of stand out from the crowd. Let’s go.” Robert says to Lacy. She just stares at him.
At Alana’s home, Ronnie was there with Tj and Kevin. They all were in the bedroom. Tj’s bedroom. Smoking and talking to each other. Alana’s father came into the bedroom.
“Stop with this crap.” Cliff said to Tj. He took the cigarette from him and smashed it in an ashtray in the bedroom.
“You can’t tell me what to do.” Tj says to him.
“Yes, I can. You need to stop doing this crap. Now get you two.” Cliff rudely said to Ronnie and Kevin.
“Make us, old man.” Kevin laughed.
“I don’t know why you give a damn what I do. I just turned 17 almost 18. When I turn 18 I can do whatever I want and get the hell out of here.”
“You can’t do that when you’re sick!”
“Sick?” Ronnie didn’t knew Tj was sick.
“You can’t tell me what to do! Mom drinks a lot and smokes. You going to stop her too? Lionel also does this shit.” Tj glares at Cliff.
“Tj, you are my son. I am sorry I haven’t been there for you and Lionel through most of your childhood but I am here now. I want you to cut this crap. Your mother doesn’t want you doing it either. She told me about your illness. And your mother is cooling down with all that alcohol too.”
“Shut up!” Tj yelled at his father. “I don’t give a damn! And what about Lionel?! He keeps getting in trouble and he might be a father soon! He might’ve got that stupid slut Paige pregnant!”
“That maybe true, but I am trying to talk to him to. Trying to get him to cut the crap because if he really is going to be a father, he needs to be more mature about it.” Cliff said and left the bedroom.
“Do you really have an illness?” Ronnie asks and smashes his cigarette. Putting it out.
“Yeah, I don’t give a damn about it though.”
“Ronnie, Tj doesn’t care about his illness. He is sick like his father but chooses to live his life. Even when he doesn’t feel good.” Kevin tells Ronnie.
“Wait a minute? That Paige girl is pregnant by Lionel? Isn’t he of age? Can’t he go to jail if he got her knocked up?” Ronnie asks confused.
“Probably, but those two were dating.” Tj said and laughed a little.
“I got to go.” Ronnie said and left. He wasn’t sure why but he felt strange hanging with the both of them. “I feel weird not hanging around Lacy and Robert lately. And I said terrible things to Lacy. I even was thinking I hated Robert when I don’t.” Ronnie thought to himself as he was on his way walking home. “I shouldn’t of slapped Lacy. I don’t hate her. I love her. I was so upset and jealous. I was thinking she didn’t love me, that she only loved Robert. And I don’t even know the truth.” Ronnie felt upset as he continued to walk.
Robert and Lacy were about to leave the house when they saw Ronnie came in. “Ronnie.” Robert says staring at him. Ronnie was looking down.
“Hey, can I talk to you two?” Ronnie asks. Lacy was surprised that Ronnie wanted to speak with the both of them.
“Let’s talk in the bedroom.” Robert suggested and went back upstairs. Ronnie and Lacy followed. As soon as they were in the bedroom Robert shuts the door. Lacy couldn’t control herself she ran over to Ronnie and hugs him. He blushes at her.
“W-What are you doing?” Ronnie asks her nervously.
“I love you! I don’t care if you said those mean things!” Lacy admits. She was blushing. Robert pulled her away from Ronnie.
“Look, Ronnie. This doesn’t seem right with us fighting.” Robert said to Ronnie.
“I agree. I really shouldn’t of said that mean stuff to Lacy. And I shouldn’t of been fighting with you both.” Ronnie said feeling bad for his actions.
“I know that it’s stupid of me and wrong to be in love with you both and want to be with you both. But… were not like most people. Were not part of the normal crowd. Were different.” Lacy said staring at Ronnie. “Being with Robert… Was painful as much as being with just you Ronnie. I want to be with the both of you. Not one of you. I can’t do it. And being apart from you both is too much.” Lacy said looking at the both of them.
“Lacy…” Ronnie stares back at her. Robert was also staring at her.
“I am sorry if I want to be with you both and you hate the idea. But I don’t know what else to do. I feel… so stupid!”
“You’re not stupid.” Robert said. Ronnie and Robert both wanted to hug her. They both took turns hugging her. Lacy blushed red. Ronnie kissed her. She kisses his lips back. She then stops.
“I love you both.” Lacy said staring at them. I don’t care anymore. Please…” Lacy said looking at them both.
“Lacy, you’re selfish. But cute.” Ronnie laughs a little.
“Cute? She’s hot.” Robert said to Ronnie. Lacy just smiles devilishly at them both.
“I love both my boys.” She said and touched both of their faces. They both blushed at her. “I don’t want to ever be apart from the both of you ever again.”
“Lacy…” Robert and Ronnie both say quietly as they stare at her.
Madison was upset. She still was very homesick. She didn’t want to stay anymore at camp than she was. She grabbed her bag and started to pack it. Bryan came into the cabin and noticed she was packing things. “What are you doing? Are you leaving?” Bryan asks her confused.
“I can’t stand it here! I want to go home! I don’t want to stay here anymore!” Madison admits. “I miss my family! I want to see my daddy not stay here.” Madison zipped her bag up. “I am going to talk to the camp counselors. I hope they will get a hold of my parents to come and get me.”
“Why did you parents wanted you to go to summer camp anyways?” Bryan asks curiously.
“They said that they couldn’t tell me why. They just needed me to go here for a bit until things get fixed.” Madison said and looks down. “But I hate it here.”
“Things get fixed? It sounds like something must be going on in your family.” Bryan guessed.
“You think?” Madison wasn’t even sure if there was something going on that they weren’t telling her or not.
“That sounds odd to me. Why would they want you to come here without a reason and told you that? Told you that until things get fixed. What are they doing?” Bryan asks her.
“I have no idea. I just miss them.” Madison starts to cry. Bryan felt bad for her.
“Don’t cry.” Bryan said and hugs her. Madison blushes. “I am here for you. I am sorry that you miss your parents. I miss my daddy too.” Bryan admits.
“Bryan, if you weren’t here I wouldn’t know what to do.” Madison admits. Bryan wraps his arms around Madison and embraces her back. Madison felt her heart beat fast as the two hugged.
“Madison has always been so cute to me…” Bryan thought to himself and blushed.
