"Yes...yes...yes...thank you, yes, bye." Finally, another job. I need the money. My boss laid me off for a few months because he's training some new people in. It's total bull. I could train them, I'm the best guy they got and they just decide to lay me off. So now I got a job at graphic designing for this company called Fashion More. They loved my work I made for them, so I got an interview and now I got the job. I'm just glad that I get to stay at home most of the time just working on the computer. 

I can't remember the last time I had a night out. Just to myself, drinking, dancing. Those were the good days. I might go out tonight.

No, I can't go out, what would happen if I got too drunk? Get a girl pregnant, kiss a guy, I don't know.

Maybe I'll just order some pizza and watch some netflix. Now that sounds better.

RING RING RING RING

"I'm coming, jesus."

"Hello?" 

"Ashton."

"Who's this?" The voice sounded familiar.

"Did you not look at your screen?" I pulled my phone from my ear and looked, it was Charlie.

"Sorry."

"You need to come over to my place right now." My face turned to confusion trying to express my emotions running through my head as if she could actually see me.

"Why do I need to come over?" I asked as I still was confused.

"It's Aidan." She didn't say a word after that, so it got me thinking, is he hurt?

"Is he alright?" My face went from confused to a worried father.

"He's not physically hurt, but he is mentally." Okay, well he's not hurt but yet he is.

"What happened? What did you do?" Anger showed itself right through me, my face was probably a light pink and my left hand was squeezed tight together.

"I told him about the baby and he, he was so upset and shouted some stuff and then ran to his room crying.

"What did he shout?" The anger disappeared as a sign of relieve came to me, but yet I was still light mad.

"That he didn't what me and Twan to have a baby, he wants me and you to have a baby together." My eyes were widened.

"Charlie, I don't know if you couldn't tell but, I think Aidan has been keeping that to himself for a long time. He never really liked the fact that you're with another man I was with another woman. I think he was trying to work with us and try to accept the people we forced into his life." I may not be the best father, but I sure know how to read people.

"Oh my god..." Thee phone was silent for a second.

"Charlie, put me on the phone with Aidan." She said okay and soon enough Aidan was on the phone.

"Daddy?" I could hear his tiny voice and it sounded like he's been crying.

"Hey Aidan." 

"Are you coming to mommy's?"

"I am."

"Can you take me back home with you?" My heart dropped but I couldn't just say no, that would break his heart also.

"I'll have to talk to your mom about it. It's her day with you." Charlie's heart must have shattered knowing that her son wants to go to his fathers instead of staying there with her.

"Okay daddy." He started calling me daddy again. It's probably just temporary though.

"Okay, I'll see you soon."

"Here mommy." I handed back her phone and ran back to my room.

"Aidan-" Mommy chased after me. "Aidan, come on. You can't hide forever." 

"Yes I can." I shouted from under my blanket.

"What about school?" I forgot about school. I don't really like it anyway.

"No school."

"Don't you want to go to college?" Mommy's right, I do want to go to college, but for now, I'm staying under this blanket.

"I want daddy." You could tell she gave up and went back downstairs. I fell really bad, I know I'm hurting mommy, but I just want daddy. I don't like seeing mommy hurt.

"Aidan." I heard a deep voice and it was daddy. I ran from under my blanket and opened my door and gave him a big hug.

"DADDY!" I yelled. He picked my up and closed my door behind him as he walked to my bed and sat on it with me.

"Aidan, you can't act like this to mommy."

"But I want you and mommy to be together. I want us to be a big happy family."

"I know you do but that's now how it works. Your mother loves Twan and now they're having a baby together. You just have to accept what life is giving you." A tear dropped from my cheek.

"What about you daddy?"

"What about me?"

"Are you going to have a baby?" He chuckled.

"Probably not. You're probably going to be my only child."

"Why can't mommy understand?" 

"She does Aidan. She never expected to have another baby. It was a surprise to her too. " He's right, I know that.

"I just wanna go home with you." He sighed.

"I'll go talk to your mother." With that he got up and walked down the stairs.

My heart was shattered into thousands of pieces. My own son doesn't want to see his own mother. Tears slid down my face onto my lips and I could taste the salty flavor of them.

"Charlie." I quickly wiped the tears with my sweatshirt and turned around.

"How is he?" I said, tears still forming in my eyes.

"He said he wants to come with me." I nodded.

"I know, that's all he talked about."

"I know." He came closer to me and gave me a hug, which I was not expecting.

"Ashton, we can't keep doing this." I pushed him away gently.

"Keep doing what?" He asked in confusion but I know he knows what I'm talking about.

"You know. Us. We can't keep doing us." His face went right into shock.

"Our son is in a state were he can't decide what's best for him right now and you want to bring up us? All I did was give you a hug because I thought you needed one after everything that's happening." I felt really bad now, more tears formed and of course Twan had to walk in.

"What did you do to her?" He yelled a bit and came rushing to me.

"I did nothing. You can talk to her about it. She has a whole story to tell you." I cried even more knowing that Twan is going to ask a whole bunch of questions now and our relationship might come in an end.

"What are you talking about?" Ashton shrugged his shoulders.

"Just ask her. Now, can I take Aidan for the day?" He said calmly. Damn he has so many moods.

"Of course." I said and then he was gone.

"Charlie, what the hell?" Twan said as he helped me stand back up and took me to the couch. "What was Ashton talking about?" My eyes sunk into my skull as I tried to think of something.

"He hugged me, just to make me feel better about Aidan and I freaked out." It was the truth, I'm just not telling the other half.

"And?" I gulped, but not too loud where he could hear me.

"And? And that's it."

"Why did you freak out?"

Might as well me honest, a little. "I brought up me and Ashton's relationship. When Ashton hugged me I freaked out and said no, we can't do this." I went silent.

"Are you two...seeing each other?" I looked at him with big eyes and quickly said, "NO. No, we're not seeing each other. Are you crazy? I'm with you and we're having a baby together. Why would I want to go back with him?" Exactly, why would I want to go back with him, it's not like I love him? Or do I still love him...

"How about you go rest. I'll make some dinner. Just go take a nap." I nodded and went to our bedroom and I laid down.

I never thought this would ever happen, but i'm still in love with Ashton.

"Aidan, I know I said you're probably going to be my only chid, but would you do if I going to have a baby with another woman?"

"I- I don't know." Kids.

"Would you be upset?"

"Yeah." 

"Why."

"Cause I want you and mommy to have baby."

"I love you Aidan."

"I love you too daddy."

I looked back at the road and continued driving but once I blinked, I saw my whole life flash, right in front of me. I tried to grab Aidan's hand because he was crying. As the car had lost its potential to steer correctly, I quickly unbuckled my seat belt and jumped into the back seat. I put my whole body over Aidan.

"Close your eyes buddy." The car finally reached the bottom of the edge and it crushed me, after that, the last thing I could see was Aidan closing his eyes and then everything went black...
