The next day I decided to wake up early because I heard Drew mentioned they would play basketball tomorrow but I'm not exactly sure what time. That's probably the only time I'm going to see him since he mentioned his going to be so busy. I went downstairs after getting ready. I still dressed up a little cute this morning just in case.

"Hi mom." I greet her as I got downstairs.

"Hi, we contacted Violet again last night, she got there safe." Mom says.

"That's great, it was tough yesterday. I'm glad she got there safe."

"I'm really glad too." Bert says walking from the living to the kitchen. His already in his work suit. I'm a little confused since it's Sunday and I'm not really sure why would he be in a suit.

"Yeah, don't mind me, I just have an important meeting, this morning. Apparently they could only meet me on a Sunday morning." Bert says.

"Sounds rough."

Is it bad that I don't know what Bert does for a living. I know he works I just don't know what exactly. I never been interested enough to care which now that I think about it. I kinda feel like a horrible person.

"Yes, alright honey I have to get going, bye." Bert kissed my mom on the cheeks and head out. I waited for him to leave and grab a blueberry to eat.

"Mom?" I call her.

"Yes?" She answered.

"So what does Bert do for a living?"

"You don't know? How?"

"I really don't know it's why I'm asking." I tell her.

"His an executive director, it's for this marketing company." Mom say.

"Oh that's cool, I had no idea."

"Yeah yeah and you've been living under the same roof with him. Would you guys like please try to be good to him. His been trying really hard to be a good dad to you all."

"His not my dad mom, his only your husband."

Trying to remember if I had my real dad is another story. I can't seemed to remember my dad exactly but Daniel told me he remembered. My dad might have disappeared a long time ago but I'm not sure I want to call my moms new husband my dad. I guess Bert isn't so bad but I'm not ever going to be comfortable exactly with him.

"Well he is my husband and since you're under 18 and I married him before you turned 18 it makes him you're dad his also signed as your legal guardianship and that goes for Daniel too."

"Wow, you might be pushing this dad thing a little too much. I don't have a dad I have a step-dad and whatever."

"Jade, please I just wanted you all to get along with him. It's been years could we all stop this, I'm tired of it."

"I'm tired of it too." Chris says walking downstairs. I end up rolling my eyes I wasn't trying to and turn to leave it alone.

"I still have some unfinished business with you young lady, I want us to finish that conversation we were having yesterday." Mom says.

"What conversation?" I asked her.

"I'm sure you remember, come here." My mom put her spoon away and walked to the living with me. I can't believe she still trying to get me to talk about that condom she found in my room. I end up following her and stand as far away so Chris can't hear us.

"Mom this is pointless, and I don't even know why you mad at me this early in the morning. I wasn't even trying to get you mad but I guess you weren't in a good mood to begin with."
