Over dinner, M'Dear is explaining everything that happened while she was at the What's Up Football show stage with Moz.
M'Dear: "This is Charlie, me and the director."
E: "Oh!"
M'Dear: "And this is me and Miles in the green room. And let me tell you a secret about the green room. It's not really green."
Cocoa: "It's nice."
Y/n: "Where are you Mr. McKellan?"
Moz: "You see that guy taking pictures?"
Cocoa: "No"
Moz: "That's me."
Ami: "So...when are you gonna be on TV, Daddy?"
Moz: "It was on live. You didn't watch it with your mom?"
Cocoa: "Uh...well, here's the thing. Okay, I- I was gonna watch it... but there was a car chase I couldn't get away from."
Moz: "On the news?"
Y/n: "Nope."
Shaka: "Magnum PI."
Shaka sat down next to me.
Cocoa: "But I DVR'd it so we can watch it with you."
Moz: "Hm. Well you missed a good show. Charlie and I bonded over playing ball in Georgia and M'Dear sealed the deal with her apple pie. Thank you M'Dear."
M'Dear: "You're welcome baby."
Ami: "Do you think you can bring a pie to my school? We have a quiz coming up and I need all the help I can get."
M'Dear: "Well I'll see what I can do."
Shaka: "Make that two pies. I don't have a quiz coming up. I just need all the help I can get."
Y/n: "You better share with me, too."
Shaka laughs and put his arm over my shoulders.
Jade: "Make that three."
M'Dear: "You need help too?"
Jade: "No! I just love your pies. And I forgot to do my homework yesterday."
Mr. McKellan's phone started ringing.
Moz: "Oh, it's Charlie calling. It's Charlie calling!"
Cocoa: "He's probably calling to invite you back to guest host."
Moz: "I bet you're right. I mean, I was pretty good."
Y/n: "So, you think you should probably answer it?"
Moz: "Right. Hey, CW! Can I call you CW? Oh, okay, Mr. Ward. Mhmm yep, you're right, I don't know you like that. No, we had a great time at the show, M'Dear did too. Oh, you...you want to talk to her?"
I look at Shaka confused as he reciprocated the same energy back.
Moz: "Oh, okay."
He passes the phone to M'Dear.
M'Dear: "Hello. Charlie? Oh, yes, I can call you CW. What? You want me to- oh stop playing. Oh, get out! Just stop playing. You're not playing? Oh. Well, okay. Well I'll see you then."
She hung up.
M'Dear: "Oh, that CW is crazy."
Cocoa: "What did he say?"
M'Dear: "Uh, he wants me to guest host the show tomorrow."
Moz: "Oh, what about me?"
M'Dear: "Well, he didn't mention you, but I'm sure he's gonna...want you to come in at some other time."
I sigh. I can't believe that Charlie Ward chose M'Dear over Mr McKellan. It doesn't make sense. I feel bad for him now.
Cocoa: "Maybe you should call him."
Moz: "No I'm good."
M'Dear: "Would you rather I didn't do the show?"
Moz: "No, of course not. I'm happy for you."
M'Dear: "Oh well then, good. I'm gonna go pick out my outfit for my return to the screen. Oh, CW is crazy!"
She walks out, blind to the pain her son is in.
Mr. McKellan sits back down at the table.
Cocoa: "Are you sure you're okay with this?"
Y/n: "Yeah, I mean...you seem hurt."
Moz: "Sure. Why would you even ask?"
Shaka: "Because it looks like M'Dear just hijacked your job."
I back slap him. He rubs his head.
Shaka: "Ow, what? You know you were all thinking it."
They all sigh.
Ami: "I was."
I held in my laughter.
Y/n: "Well, I've gotta go home. My mom got off work at six which means she'd be home in approximately 20-30 minutes."
I say getting up. Shaka stands to help me.
Cocoa: "Y/n. Are you sure you should be sneaking to come over here even when your mom said no?"
Y/n: "She didn't say no to coming over here. There's a reason she doesn't want me here. But I can't say. As long as I'm not caught over here, I'm good. Plus, it doesn't seem like anyone else is stopping me."
I used my crutches to walk to the door. Shaka opened the door for me and I started to walk on the porch.
Shaka: "I'm gonna walk her home! I'll be back in 5 minutes!"
He ran after me.
Shaka: "How come you never told me that?"
Y/n: "Told you what?"
Shaka: "That you're not supposed to be coming to my house."
Y/n: "Because my mom was being mean and it was irrelevant."
Shaka: "But what did she say?"
Y/n: "Look, Shaka. I'm not allowed to say. If I was, I would have told you already."
We got to my house.
Y/n: "I'm sorry..."
Shaka: "It's okay I guess."
He kissed me.
Shaka: "I'll see you tomorrow I hope."
I smiled.
Y/n: "See you tomorrow."
I walked in my house upset.

I just lied to the person I trust most.
