Chapter 13 The truth of the living

Once the trio are downstairs, Sol points to the dinner table in the kitchen saying
"Sit"
Grabing the box from before and it's content and joining the two adults, Sol slideing the box over to them, leaning back in his chair and saying
"If I can awaser, I will"
Keller picked up the half empty bag of pills and looking at Sol for answers Sol replies
"Uppers"
Sihying continues
"Sence I started Jenk's, got them at a party.
Maybe a few pills a week...."
Takes a deep breath
"Then I took three at once one
day, after I lost it, I stop taking them"
Cooper let's out a shakey
"Oh, little J"
Keller deciding to try and keep him talking and carm, ask
"Pricing and tattoos?"
Sol hmms a node's, standing and lifting his shirt, to show his double bellybutton piecing and his left chest and ribs that are tattoo saying
"Got them and a shit tone of ear piercings a couple of industrial and my arm tattoo for now."
Showing his forearm with the qute from Shakespeare
'Hell is empty, and all the devils are hear'
Someththing Keller once told him and he hold dear, then he seems to remember something tackling on
"Oh and this"
Pocking his tongue out revealing a snake eye piercing, Cooper Gasps and Keller asked
"Any prison ink?"
Sol shakes his head 'no' simple saying
"Legit"
Wonting as much information while he's willing to talk Keller contus
"The cutting Sol, how long?"
Jackson breath catching for a moment, and Cooper steps in saying
"Your doing well little J, we can skip that one, but we would like to now, ok?"
Sol nodded and sihying a single word
"10"
Cooper softly repeated
"10"
to wich Sol only nods, Keller taking the lead this time asking
"You won't more tattoos, anything in mind yet?"
Sol smiles
"Yeh, my hands I always wanted done,
my other ribs. And my tattooist got these cool luky neko's she won't to put on my feet...."
Trailing off, deep in thought, as Keller ask
"What wrong, if you worried about not getting them. We an't stopping you,
only you are Sol."
Max quickly jumps in
"Yeh little J, you got his dark sense of life on that arm, I bags the other!, so your getting another wether you like it or not"
Sol starts laughing at this, a genuine laugh, before saying
"Yeh arms all yours, I'll even call my tattooist and close my eyes for you Max"
Now both Keller and Cooper laughed at that, befor Keller starts talking again
"Were you safe"
Max lost at this, asking
"Sage he said he had a tattooist"
Sol cuts in shaking is head
"You married that!, really?,
Sex and yes, I was like a rabbit, but safe. Don't worry to much, I stopped after the kidnapping. Nowing my luck I would have sex with one of thos asshats!  Fuck no thanks"
Keller saying
"As long as your safe"
Max gasps and interjects
"No!, just no!!. If you can't bring them for dinner, then there not worthy of your time, not even 3 minutes"
Sol chuckles
"Ok, but I'm not use to"
Pausing and jesters to all of them,contues
"All this"
Keller quick to jump on this clear tell of lack of parenting asks
"Your mother, parents, anyone Sol"
Taking a deep breath shakily saying
"Just you if, you would have me.
Mother she's was..."
Pausing, seemingly looking for the right words or strength to say the next part before wisperd
"Abuse me, chaind me"
Keller's hair floating around as he's frozen in place, Cooper only letting out a shakey breath before pointing a thub at Keller saying
"Thats Papa"
Then pointed a thumb at himself
"I'm Dad, ok"
Sol breaks down for what feels like the hundredth time today, both adults quick to hold him, after carming down, Sol asked
"So, what now Kel"
Cutting himself short takes a deep breath then said almost sad, desperate
"Papa, Dad?"
Cooper has a fan girl moment, turning to Keller saying
"Did you here, did you ,did you Sage?"
Keller sihying and shakes his head, turn to Sol awserd his question
"Lunch maybe, but long term. You need more then hugs and kissers Sol, Sorry to rain on your happy, but you need a.."
Sol cuts in with
"A padded room?"
Keller counters with a smirk
"A Therapist?"
Sol smirks wide
"A tattoo?"
Kella now snots
"A dam coffee?"
Now Max jumping in happily raising his hands up
"All the above!!"
All three chuckles, then Sol starts talking
"Let's start with lunch, hmm"
Keller chiming in
"I'm calling a therapist"
And off he walks, phone in hand, Cooper smiles at Sol and asks
"So Jackson ca..."
But Sol cuts in simply saying
"Sol"
Cooper smiles wider
"OK little ..."
Trailing off before asking
"Is it OK if I.."
But again gets stopped by a snot and a hand wave from Sol saying
"Stop wearing K.O's parties, relax, is just."
Stopping there shrugs, Cooper understood tho and continues
"So little J, what can I help with!"
Clapping he's hands and looking around, Sol smirks, shaking his head speaks
"It's nice out, we should feed those idiots out side. Lunch is made already, help me get it out side. Chop stick dad, top right draw."
Sol points, Max eager to help runs over grabing the chop stick and scarred outside to put down and retun.
Jackson pulling out food from the fridge, putting on the near by bench simply saying
"That"
Cooper scoops up pates full of sushi and taking them out, after coming back, and asking
"Should I get the kids?"
Sol anwaering
"Nah take the tea out, I'll grab glasses and plates."
Keller comes in saying
"Sol I got someone to come tomorrow, if you like them, we can go from there"
Sol simply saying
"Sure, but I don't like them already. But I'll try for you"
Keller node's, adding
"And your tattoo?, hmm"
Jackson looks utterly lost letting a simple
"What?!"
Keller shakes his head and replies
"I said therapist, you said tattoo.
We don't mind Sol, as long as your healthy and happy. Well we're working on that."
Sol smirks, general happy, he thinks anyway it's been a long time, only replied with a simple and quite
"Thanks papa"
Walking past them and yelling
"LUNCH YOU FUCKING IDIOTS"
The three of them sitting, while the rest of the class comes scarring out, when everyone is sitting down they start.
