The Real Me (BXB)

Chapter Five

Third Person's POV

Hayden greeted Paul at the door and let him in leading him into the kitchen, where Stacy and Henry were waiting for him and his friend.Upon entering the kitchen, Stacy's eyes widened and a shocking expression covered her face.But before she could say anything, Paul opened his mouth.

,,Stacy". ,,Paul what are you doing here?!". ,,Don't worry Stacy, your son knows about us and gives us his blessing, you can divorce your husband now and we can finally be together." While Stacy tried to come up with what to say,Hayden returned to his seat and resumed eating his pizza, with Henry on his opposite side, watching the drama unfold before him.

,,Get out of here you imbecile, who do you think you are!",Stacy whispered for just Paul to hear.

,,Stacy, who is that?,". ,,No one, I don't know him. Hayden brought him in here." Angry, Stacy turned her attention to Hayden. ,, You, what is all of this". ,,Then why does he know your name.Hey you", Henry turned to Paul now with a knowing expression.

,, Let me ask you a question. Are you sleeping with my wife ? No, actually ,how long have you been fucking my wife ?"

Paul was confused with what was happening, didn't Hayden tell him that Stacy would be happy to see him surprising her and that she would immediately divorce her husband when she found out that her son was supporting them, but it doesn't seem like that at all.Was he played by both mother and son?

,,He screwed your wife for over a year now. But that's just him, who knows who else was stupid enough to sleep with her.I mean that trip that she took right before my birthday seemed quite suspicious knowing that she has no friends."

Hayden then turned his attention to Paul ,, Sorry, but I don't think that you were the only one big boy.Actually, I know you weren't the only one and deep,deep down you know it too. She actually hates me, so the excuse that she doesn't want to divorce my father because of me is a lie.Do yourself a favour and look for a new girlfriend and this time, be with someone who doesn't actually have a partner already, makes you more charming and less trashy, believe me . Here, you did good.You should leave now"With that Hayden took the extra pizza and gave it to Paul.

Meanwhile Henry listened to everything his son has said about his wife's affairs, but the only thing he was mad and confused about was the fact, that she had left their son alone right before his birthday.But one sentence in particular replayed in his head.The words that his mother hated him.

,,But...but Stacy, you...".With tears in his eyes Paul looked at the woman he loved, speechless, seeing that she looked at him as if he was dirt under her shoes. ,,Haven't you heard what my son said.Leave, Pedro".
Henry addressed the stranger, but not once did he yell or appeared to be mad about this whole thing.Hayden dragged the now crying man out the house and then returned to his seat.

He finished his pizza while the people who created him argued , until the yelling was directed at him--.
,,You...you little, you did all of this, didn't you.This is all your fault, you just couldn't do one thing right in your life, I'm gonna...".Hayden prepared himself for the slap that he was about to receive but it never came.

Henry held that woman by her wrist, stepping in front of his son, shocked that she would try to harm him. ,,What do you think you're doing!"His grip on her tightened making Stacy wince in pain.

,,He has nothing to do with this. You were the one who was unfaithful, no one forced you to sleep with other men, so don't you dare to EVER lay a hand on my child, is that clear!" This was the first time Henry got angry and raised his voice this evening.

,,You don't know what I've been through Henry, why are you treating me this way?"

,,Then enlighten me please, so I could understand, you poor thing".

,,You left me alone Henry. I was lonely and felt like you didn't love me anymore.You were working all the time going on business meetings, while I was here waiting for my husband to come back and wondering if he was cheating on me. What was I supposed to do all day in this house".

,,Taking care of our son! You were the one who said that you would stop working so you could spend more time with our son and take care of him."Hearing that Hayden couldn't stop letting out a snort , Henry turned around and stared at his son.A sad realisation that became clear to him.And it became clearer with the next words that left his wife's mouth.

,,Oh please that abomination of a faggot is ruining our family and you know it. Honey let's just..." but Stacy didn't have a chance to end her sentence when she was interrupted by a fuming Henry.

,,SHUT UP! Have you been talking to him like this, all this time while I was gone! All the things that you have been telling me about how you get along so well and how happy he is, you were lying to me, am I right?!"Henry seemed to be angrier than he was ever before, confronting the woman he entrusted their child with.

,,Look honey, we could just forget all this alright. Let's just send him away and we can start anew.I know you love me, please. We can just forget this little mistake and that burden over there, okay.I know it disgust you as much as it disgust me.You know I love you. I love you ." She started crying crocodile tears, pulling Henry in for a hug while Hayden stared at them with a expressionless face.

,,It does disgust me..., it really, really disgust me so much......
Get out of here." That was all that had to be said to shatter the mask Hayden had on, and a broken expression graced his face.

But what Hayden didn't expect seeing,was his father shoving his biological mother away from him and on the ground and telling her with an icy voice. ,, I told you to get out of here.I never want to see you near MY SON ever again. I will take care of him and you can go to one of your many lovers and live your life, but I want you to disappear from ours."

,,Henry, you can't be serious! "

,,I SAID LEAVE !"Stacy was throwing an angry expression Haydens way, but Henry was quick to step in front of his son, blocking his view and returning the gesture to his wife , who then screamed and left the house leaving father and son alone in the kitchen with neither of them knowing what to say.Only the ticking of the clock in the kitchen was heard.

His back facing his Hayden. Henry slowly turned around staring at his son trying to read his face.One, then two, then three silent tears were running down Henry's face and a second later he was on his knees, in front of his son.

,, I'm sorry.I'm sorry.I'm sorry.I'm so, so sorry son. If I knew she was treating you horribly all this time, I would've done something .I know I'm a terrible father.Please forgive me,please."Begging and crying, Henry was holding onto his son's legs for dear life.

Fearing that every chance he got with him was gone , terrified, that he had lost his son, scared, that Hayden would never forgive him and that he'd believe whatever lies Stacy had told him.

Hayden was staring at his father sobering form on the ground, slowly understanding what his father said and not believing that he would choose him over her.Puzzled, why he avoided him and his gaze all this time?Confused, why he rarely came home?Wondering if his father actually loved him?Doubting, if all the things that woman said were true or not ?

Torn, if he should trust ?

So many questions he wanted an answer to, but between all his feelings of confusion, fear and distrust, there was also a little bit of hope .

Hayden looked down, expression blank while he tried removing his fathers hands off of him, the man not wanting to let go and just reluctantly doing so after some time. His crying becoming more vigorous and the words I'm sorry, it's my fault, please forgive me repeating as if it was an Mantra.
