The next morning I threw on some jeans and jogged downstairs. My mom was drinking a veggie and fruit smoothie. She looked up and smiled but it faded as she looked back down.

"Where's dad?" I asked, bitting an apple. She shrugs, "Guess he left early..." I nod and turn on my heel.

Why did she just lie? I decide to walk back over to her. "Did you cheat on dad with Niall?" She coughs on her smoothie and wipes her mouth, "Lori." She warns. I sigh, "So all this time, you guys have been just faking it? There was no love?"

"I love your father. We just disagree.. a lot." She frowns. I lean against the counter, "Is the baby Niall's?" She bites her bottom lip and tears roll down her cheeks, "No, its your fathers Lori and it honestly hurts you'd ask that."

I breathe out. I sit on the stool, "Why did dad leave last night? Are you two getting divorced?" She shakes her head, "We are not getting a divorce. We've decided to talk later."

I slowly nod, "Okay"
