"Yes. And I'll tell you mine." I whisper, holding him while he builds up the courage to speak. I know this can't be good. From the tiny bit I know, his father isn't a good person.
"My dad has been horrible to me since day one. I remember when I was ten I was excited to tell him what I wanted to be. I told him that I wanted to study the stars, because I thought that the universe was so beautiful and I wanted to know more. He told me that I wasn't man enough, and signed me up for acting class."
He shifts uncomfortably before wrapping an arm around my hip.
"When Blake came along, my father praised him for everything he did. My mother didn't see this, and she didn't leave because I was being treated unfairly. She left because he was bad to her, cheated on her, told her where her place was, it was horrible. Going to sleep while having to hear them yell, then on top of that, having to comfort Blake who did not know what was going on."
"Even though I was jealous of the love my father showed to him, I knew he wasn't responsible. Who wouldn't love Blake."
I tuck his short hair behind his ear as he continues to speak softly to me. "My mother had enough, and she left. Now she is married and has another kid somewhere in the world. She hasn't reached out- yet I can't find it in myself to hate her because she was the one who had my back as a child."
I hold back my tears, wanting to show I can be brave for him, that if he needed to break down, he could and I would hold him up.
"My father has been worse since she left to the point where I took care of Blake most of our lives. Even though I was out doing movies and shows, I still fed him and took care of him." He shuts his eyes tight.
"I remember dad telling teenage Blake that he wanted him to take over his company. Blake agreed and signed with him, he is currently on a ten year contract that ends in five years. Blake has already expressed how angry he is with dad treating me and our mom the way he did. And that when the contract was over, he would lose contact with him."
I was surprised at how amazing Blake was to Easton, being the younger and the favorite, I expected him to be self centered like his father. Spoiled.
"Now- after this film, I'm done with acting, for good."
I rub his cheeks with my thumb. "That's perfectly okay. I'm sorry about your father, he is a man I never want to meet."
"You never will. I wont allow him anywhere near you."
I give him a sad smile. "My parents were pretty bad too, they didn't love me from the moment they knew about me."
He never takes his hands or eyes off me, letting me speak freely.
"They had kicked me out at sixteen, I was on the streets for a couple years. I should have died in the womb, I should have died on the streets, but when I didn't, Daisy's parents found me and took me in, and have loved me since." My voice cracks at just the flashbacks I get in my own head.
