On The Edge

Chapter Thirteen.

Jason's POV

"I'm not gay.", okay, that was a great way to start the night, I was getting ready for bed, Cailen was staying in a spare room, he was scared but he'd rather die than ask for help. I looked at Blaine who was only wearing a pair of jeans, put a shirt on for goodness sake, I had my white Tshirt and blue plaid boxers. "what?"

"I'm not gay, whatever happened by the tub was an accident, mixed emotions and all that.", he said, "so, don't misread the signs."

I wasn't sure how to react, "don't worry, you aren't my type at all.", I replied getting into bed.and facing the other side.

"not your type?", he sounded really surprised, "I'm everyone's type."

That made me sit up, "egoistic, arrogant, rude and a crime lord, yes, that's exactly what everyone wants."

"I'm none of those things.", he denied.

"yes, you are and so much worse.", we were having a pissing contest now and none of us was backing down.

"what about you? Are you as perfect as you claim to be? I'm a what did you call me? Yes, a crime lord and you, what exactly have you done that's so great?"

"I've been a good father."

That made him keep quiet, "I might not have done anything great but I am a good father, you aren't even a good brother."

"stop talking about things you have no idea about."

"yes, I have no idea how things work in your family, I watched a series the other day."

"really? What has that got to do with anything?"

"a Korean series, it's called 49 days you should watch it."

"I won't."

"well, this Girl was involved in an accident and went into a coma, someone like the grim reaper called the scheduler told her the only way for her to return was to find three people within 49 days apart from her family who loved her and shed real tears for her."

"what had that got to do with anything?", he looked confused now.

"if you died today, can you list three people outside your family who love you and will shred tears over you, truly love you, not your money or body."

Blaine couldn't reply, he looked as if he was really thinking of someone, "I didn't think so, what of your family. Three people. Just three." He still didn't reply, "I am not better than you, Blaine but I an better off because I have people who love me. Do you?", I lay down and switched off the lights, I knew I had won but I felt bad for him, he was a lost kid, they say whenever a person suffers a trauma, they kind of stay in whatever age they were when it happens, he was still a kid going back and forth what had happened. What had happened?

Cailen's POV

what is wrong with them? I ask in my mind, I can talk in my mind, it's called thinking but I like to talk to Altair better, and I think that daddy and Blaine like each other so why are they not saying it?

I moved away from the door where I was listening to them talking, daddy was talking about49 days, seriously.

I go to my room and climb the really big bed using the stool I put next to it,my plan was supposed to be perfect.

The door opened and someone entered, "who is that?"

"it's me, Altair.", I see her standing at the door holding her teddy bear, he's really big and purple, his name is "Jedidiah." Or jed for short, he's Jewish.

"what is it, Altair?"

"can I stay with you? Mummy is over at Karina's."

"doing what?"

"I don't know, They take off their clothes and make a lot of noises as if they are fighting under the sheets."

"oh, that's called sex, my aunt Jaz does that a lot.", my dad never did though. "isn't that supposed to be between husband and wife or wife and wife and husband and husband."

"why?", Altair asked.

"a man and woman do it to make babies, I think. Dad says they also do it cause they like it.", dad tells me a lot of stuff.

"I thought babies are put into the womb by a preacher and delivered by a nurse."

"no, preachers tell them it's okay to have sex and then nurses take out the baby."

"mum and dad don't like me or each other, they hardly ever listen to me and are always fighting each other. When I couldn't talk, they cared about me but now, they don't, I shouldn't have talked." I felt bad for Altair.

"that's okay,.when daddy marries Blaine, they'll adopt you and you can be my older sister. We'll be happy and they'll have one more kid, a baby girl. Then we'll be a real family."

"how can you be so sure about all this?"

"because I planned it, remember?", we were lying facing each other now, "I knew Blaine had only pushed him by accident but I also wanted them to get together."

"that's manipulation."

"no, it isn't, I'm just pushing them, they like each other, they just don't know it."

"I wish you could push Karina too so she'd stop breaking up people."

I thought about this for a while, "I know who will be prefect for her, Aunt Stevie."

Altair laughed, "they are not perfect, they'd never like each other."

"I can make them." I challenged her, "wanna bet?"

"how much?"

"fifty and if I can get them to marry, 500."

"marry? I think you watch too much of parent trap."

"hey, if I can get a doctor to think I have a phobia of men, I can do it." I told her, "I'll get Blaine and daddy matured and you'll be my sister and Karina and aunt Stevie married."

"stop doing that, it's not good to manipulate everything in peoples' lives."

"I'm not manipulating, just pushing."

"be careful, Cailen, if you push too hard, they might fall too hard, I read that in a book."

Maybe but if I don't, they'd still be fighting and dad would still be Blaine's slave, maybe I should step back a little and let them work it out, I've got bigger things to worry about like how to sneak in a chocolate and mint ice cream.before breakfast.

************\****************a bit short, but i Hope that explains Cailen's "illness", he's just a really smart kid who wants his dad to be happy, he's smart about some stuff and clueless about others, but he's a good kid. Thanks. Please vote and comment.
