If You Break My Heart I'll Date Your Father [Hiatus]

chapter 10

Nick's POV

I looked at Aaron who was looking clearly upset, he didn't look his best but I don't think anyone will in this situation. I took the cup of coco and placed it in front of him, he doesn't like coffee.

"Thank you, good morning"

I nodded at him and took his dish with breakfast and placed it in front of him also. I thought that I'd have to deal with a raging Michael but turns out not only is he not here but he is staying at a friend's house.

"Aaron, I know I'm in no place to say this but you'll find someone who understands you, someone who is better," I said.

These were my genuine opinions. Michael talks a lot about sometimes he wishes he'd just let him take control for once, but I don't think it's not that he's not letting him control, it's probably that he doesn't know how to. And I don't think that's how it works either.

Aaron doesn't need someone to control him, he more like, he needs someone who is there for him to stand as equal saying you want to control him is gonna lead to the toxic road in the end.

Michael wants someone to feed his ego, and Aaron can't do that so he blames it on his personality. Can't change a person without first changing yourself, this comment made Micheal angry and stormed out once and we never brought it up again.

"I know" he said dejected, "your son has a lot of nerve"

I know he has a bad temper, but what can I do? You can only go so far with someone only if they are willing to go far.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked gently

I do enjoy talking with Aaron. He seems more willing to communicate with me. Aaron is around 20 if I'm not wrong. His appearance looks like trouble, he has a very pale complexion due to his anaemia along with the lack of pigment in the skin, and red eyes, he dyed his hair pink a few months ago.

His eyes were red because he was an albino, his eyes were very sensitive to the light. Because of this his eyes were constantly moving about and I'd constantly hear Michael and his friends talking over the phone, I'm not siding with Michael on this he pretty told them that he didn't care and nothing was wrong with Aaron which was true. So I naturally thought the relationships were good.

The thing about dating a person with albinism is dating out in the open is a no, no. As said their skin doesn't have enough pigment on their skin to walk out in the sun high and mighty without being severely burned. Like when you forget sunscreen at the beach.

I looked at him looking at me. "Do you?" I repeated

"Didn't your sweet baby boy tell you not to talk to me or something like that?" He sarcastically rolled his eyes.

"I am my own adult you know?" I grinned at his snarky remark

He sipped his coco. I sit around the counter with him to enjoy breakfast. After finishing up I took the dishes to wash them.

"He cheated on me, you know?" He asked

My back was turned to him so I couldn't see his expression. I removed my hands from the skin, shaking off the water, then drying it with a dishcloth. I then turned to him. I was willing to listen if he was willing to take it was probably a sensitive time for him.

"He didn't tell me but I came to the assumption" I said.

Why else would he damage his face like that? unless Michael must have really hurt him. I'm not gonna be that parent who is blinded by his own child's wrongdoings. My son is human just like the rest of us. He is young and full of hormones like any typical young adult his pretty much capable of doing anything he pleases.

"When?"

"After the bruises all over his face" I answered honestly

"You seemed to know him well"

"Somethings, a parent can only know so much yet so little" I answered

Aaron sighed then breathed, "why is it that both of you are so polar opposite?" He asked I'm guessing rhetorically?

But I answered anyway, "maybe he takes more after his mother?" I said I was not sure myself.

Well his mother did sign off all her parental rights and abandon him the first chance she got, never heard of her ever since the last thing I got was a letter from her saying that she had moved away with her parents and couldn't take up the Shame and responsibility of being a teenage parent.

Parent then my parents kicked me out saying I was ruining my life by keeping and unwanted kid, luckily they paid my school fees and I entered college with a scholarship where I work my butt off, my parents did chip on from time to time but they wanted nothing to do with Michael and it made me extremely sad to see this.

As a single parent and a boss of an upcoming company, dating was the least on my mind so I only started dating when he became 16 and more mature about things. But the problem was no one really wanted a man with a kid that old so relationships never last long and sometimes it almost feels like a fling.

And here I am talking with my ex about our relationship. Should I even be here with my son's ex in the first place? Someone please tell me I'm not doing anything wrong?.

A/n

Moral question is he wrong to be there with his son ex?

Is Aaron wrong to go after his dad?

No keen on what albinism is can tell me if I'm wrong or give additional info.
