Billy's Pov

I was getting dress and trying not to hurt my self. Last night I knew I missed up big time. I was at the bar and I was drunker then a horse when I started a fight with a big man and I let him beat me up. I have a black eye, a busted up lip and I think a crack rib or two. But with the hell I've been through I don't give a fuck. I got the pj's that Benny gave me and walked out of the bath room. I can't put a shirt on with out it hurting so I will go with out one. For the last week that I was in my cabin all I did was drink beer and stayed drunk the whole time. Eve sent me a message that we both have to be in the court hose on the 12th to get the divorced. That hurt like a bitch let me tell you? That's in 3 weeks from now. I still can't believe this is happening to me. I saw what my mama had when she married my dad and I wanted that The way dad looked at my mama like she was the only girl in the world. The way mama would look at him with a big smile on her face. They both was proud of each other.  Thank God we didn't have any children together. That will kill me. I walked into the kitchen and saw mama and dad looking at me. Now I have to tell them what went down with out crying my eyes out like a baby. I can do this. 

"Son talk to us. Talk to me." Dad said to me. I sat down and looked at him. 

"Eve and I are done." I said. 

"What happened?" Dad asked me. Okay Billy you can do this? You are a Gilbert. Gilbert men are tough and strong. 

"She was cheating on me." I said looking down. 

"What? Why would she cheat on you?" Dad asked me. 

"I don't know, but we have to be at the court house in 3 weeks. She wants to get this done and over with." I said. 

"Bitch. She had no rights to do this to you? You was her husband. A friend. A lover. You was in the God Damn Navy and she went out and found a asshole to cheat on you with.." Dad yelled. I looked at mama and she was crying. Great I better not cry.

"Mama, don't cry?" I said. 

"How did I let this happened? I thought she was your one. I'm sorry I didn't see it?" Mama told me. 

"Mama, it's fine. Please don't cry. The whore is not worth your tears no more. Believe me I know. All I've done this past week is cry." I told her. 

"Son, I'm sorry this has happened to you?" Dad told me. I lost it. 

"I'm sorry dad. I tried to be a good man like you and a great husband to her. I know I let you down." I told him. Dad ran to me and held on to me so I could cry in his chest. 

"You are the man I raised you to be. I don't give a fly fuck what that darn whore thinks of us. She is the one that missed up. Not you. Billy you never let me down son. I love you." Dad told me. I needed him. I needed a man to tell me that I did nothing  wrong. I needed my mama to hold me and tell me that she loves me. 

"Now I want to know this. You better no lie to me either boy. I mean it?" Dad told me. 

"Yes sir." I said. Looking at him. 

"Who did this to you?" Dad asked me. 

"I was at the bar last night and I had about 34 beers in me and I said something to this man and he beat the shit out if me." I told him. 

"Why didn't you fight back?" Mama asked me. 

"I needed the pain to ease up some. When I found Eve in bed with some man it hurt. It hurt me more when she told me I had to leave. My world stopped right then and there." I told them. My mama was crying and my father-the man who I met when I was only 10 who was my pen pal, Brantley the man I have the honors to call my father was pissed off.

"Well, we will get over this? We will are family. Okay son." Dad said to me. 

"Thanks dad?" I said to him. 

"You are welcome. I need you to promised me something?" Dad said to me. 

"Any thing dad?" I said to him. 

"Please stop drinking like you have been. I know you needed it to help with the pain, but not with that shit. You have us and your friends, Dean, Lucy, both of your grandmas, and Angeletta and Soph. You don't need that shit son. Believe me I know." Dad told me. In the last 16 years he's only had 3 beers. It was mama that helped him with his drinking problem. 

"I know dad. Thanks." I said to him. 

"You are more then welcome." Dad said to me. 

"So what are we doing tonight." I asked them.

"Well, your father and Benny has a football game. Brennan and Lila will go and I will stay home with you when they all leave and then a small BBQ later." Mama told me. 

"Mama, you don't have to stay home with me. I am a grown ass man." I said. 

"Why don't we all go? It's been a while since you saw a football game and It might help you clear your head plus Me Maw and Nana will be there?" Dad said. I looked at mama.

"If you want to honey?" Mama asked me. 

"I do. But look at me. I look like shit. Sorry mama?" I said to her. 

"It's fine, but I think your father is right. Get out of the house and who know's you might meet some of your old friends again." Mama told me. 

"Okay let's do it." I said. 

"That's my boy." Dad said to me. 

"Okay we are leaving in 45 minutes.' Mama told me. 

"Yes mama. I'm going to get dressed." I said, walking up to my old room. After what has happened I'm going to start a new life. Tomorrow I'm cleaning out the cabin and moving back into it. I'm calling uncle Colby and seeing about a job back in the old factory. I can do this. I know I can. Just one step at a time.
