you take my hand, and drag me head first, fearless.

Tyler opened the door, letting himself, Jacey, Jimmy, and Kaylee into his parents' home. "Hey, you guys are here," Cynthia greeted as they entered the living room. "Find an empty room and try on your clothes," she continued as she gave each of them hugs and kisses. "I have a tailor here to help with any wardrobe issues."

"Relax, mommy. Everything will be fine. We don't even need the tailor; I had all of our stuff fitted and fixed weeks ago," Tyler told Cynthia.

"That's my boy," she said, giving him another hug.

"Now breathe," Tyler instructed.

"Okay, I'll breathe, then all of you go put your clothes on, and please let the tailor take a peak at them," Cynthia pleads.

"We will, Mommy," Tyler agreed, rubbing his mother's shoulder. "Okay. Now in and out, in and out," Tyler coached his mother through a few deep breaths.

"Now go," she commanded after a few. They all hurried through the living room and toward the stairs. "Tyler, where are you going?"

"To my room. I'm not going to use a guest room," he explained, then continued up the stairs. Jacey hadn't said much. She found everything chaotic and panicky. She didn't want to begin to freak out.

"So here's where I..." Tyler began but didn't finish. He hadn't thought about what to tell Jacey when she entered his old bedroom for the first time. 'Here's where I wet the bed' 'here's where I masturbated for years' 'here's where I kissed girls who weren't you' he thought of all those horrible introductions.

"Here's where you what?" Jacey asked, noticing his pause.

"Here's where I, um, I studied... for many hours... every night... to become the man you know today," Tyler embellished with a smile. Jacey walked into the room in awe. 'This is a bedroom,' she thought as she looked around the room that was better than her mother's bedroom. There was the normal bedroom area with a bed, nightstand, and dresser. Through an archway, there was an entertainment area with four recliners, a stereo system, and multiple gaming systems. In the corner was a snack area. It had a mini fridge, microwave, counter, and cabinet space. There were two doors in the bedroom area. One led to a huge walk-in closet that still held some of Tyler's things. And the other led to a massive bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub, stand-alone shower with multiple shower heads, a separate toilet area, a nice vanity, and a linen closet. Jacey walked back into the bedroom area. Jimmy and Kaylee were standing on the bed, and Tyler was getting their clothes ready. He had already got Jimmy into his pants and was working on buttoning his shirt. "Did you like the tour?"

"Yeah, but why isn't there a television in the entertainment section over there?" Jacey asked as she slipped Kaylee's dress off the hanger and walked over to her.

"The wall is my television. It runs off a projector. There's a screen for it, but I never used it. It's an extra button I would have to press," Tyler stated with a smirk. They got the kids both changed.

"Do I look like a pretty princess?" Kaylee asked Tyler.

"The prettiest," he replied as he took her off the bed and placed her on the floor. Jimmy jumped off the bed and rolled onto the floor, pretending to be a ninja. "Get up, Nana will freak out if your clothes are wrinkled," Tyler told Jimmy as he got him off the floor.
