Jaden
I was just lying on my bed playing some shitty game on my phone, my thoughts were in and out and I could not even focus.
I mean, I don't know what is what anymore. I normally do but now I just go with the flow.
A sudden knock came from the door; "come in" the door opened slightly and revealed Uncle John. No doubt in the back of my head he is coming to pry or do tell me some shit.
To be honest from the first day when I meet him I knew he was going to be my new father. I loved him and I love everything about him.
Often when he and Uncle Leo have arguments he will go to his office and cool off and I will go and keep him company.
I remember even before when I was 6 years how I cling to him. I didn't want him to go home, I didn't want him to leave me. Nothing because he was my second night and shining amour right after Uncle Leo, Gosh I love them both.
What's up Kiddo? He asked. I turned facing him and watched as he sat on my desk. I pouted at him.
Same old Uncle John! He nodded. So you want to tell me what is really going on? He asked, as he folded his arms and looked at me intently waiting for my response.
I cocked my eyebrows at him and I know he wasn't going to give it up this time. Jaden, I'm not a fool and I'm not a teenager, so if I was you at least tell me, not everything but parts, it might give you some internal piece. He said, calmly.
Sighing I raised up and I don't know when I started crying but all I felt was his strong arms engulfing me into a tight embrace.
Shuuu, I'm here for you and so is Leo. Jaden you can't keep hiding or keeping things to yourself. At least tell someone what is going on or what caused yours and Simon's friendship to fall apart. I stiffened in his arms I know he felt my shift but he didn't let go.
So are you going to tell me, Jaden? He asked softly. I simply nodded onto his chest.
After some minutes when he let go of me, I took some time to compose myself and regain my confidence. He smiled over to me and I pouted at him. I heard his chuckle and man uncle John's chuckle always warms my heart.
I was about to say something but he cut me off.
Jaden, I'll tell you this. He said in a fatherly manner.
Who am I kidding he is my legal guardian and my Papa bear.
You know it hurts your uncle every time you are not around or joining us for dinner, not even on family events. You shut yourself out. All the arguments Leo and I have it's mostly based on yours and Simon's behaviors. Now I'm not saying because you both are teens you supposed to act like teens.
You both are adults and quite frankly I expect more from both of you. Now don't get me wrong I was the same way in high school. Naive and high, had a high sex drive and will fuck anything that pass my way. We all have our flaws and I'm not blaming you, none of us is perfect and comes with imperfections.
Sighing he continued, as he walked back to my desk. Kiddo, I was a bully when I was your age and I still regret it. Leo doesn't know but at times when I reflect what had I had did in my high school days I wished I could go back and correct those mistakes.
Whatever happened between you and Simon needs to be resolved, you don't want to know you both are prime enemies in this family. You both are about to start a new life and from then on only fates can decide your lives from there on. Don't stay away from your family, don't shun and ignore them because family is where is home is at Jaden. Everyone is always here for both of you and we love you both unconditionally.
I know he was talking from his heart because the only time he uses my name and not kiddo is when it means serious business. Sighing, I keep my eyes glued to his posture and didn't utter a word because I know he was right.
I and Simon have to resolve our past experience and somehow come to terms with the outcome. I'm not asking for a new friendship but maybe forgiveness so I can live my life free.
So Jaden, when you ready to talk in my office, Leo should be back with the boys soon. You know where to find me and please talk to Leo he's been there for you since birth and he will always be there. Don't go to college; don't leave this house with the intentions of fixing and repairing that misunderstanding.
Also Jaden, he said in a deathly low voice don't leave this house for college leaving your uncle without an explanation. He deserves that much. The same thing I told you today was the same thing I told Simon yesterday, either he was not having it, I restrained his and give him his ear full.
With that he trotted out the room leaving me with my thoughts, not even a hug or anything. I was about to break down but I sucked it in and dived onto my bed. I wanted to ran out and tell papa bear everything but I was afraid to say anything.
I didn't realize that I caused most of the arguments between papa bear and cuddle bear. I lay there just thinking and thinking.
I know I have a great big chance to make up with Uncle Leo and yes I know he deserves an explanation for my behavior for the past months and I know I owe him some make up time.
Tears started to escape my eyes, as I think back to all the good time with pap bear and Leo. I live them I really do and I didn't mean to cause any harm or heart break or pain.
I started to question myself. Did I really cause my family pain, did I make it look as if I shun them, and did I really cause arguments between papa bear and Leo? So may questions raced through my mind, I didn't know what was happening until I felt my heart lightens up and I felt the pressure of my chest leaving.
A loud sob escaped me and I know it is the truth not only I but Simon also and deep down I'm sorry for not even noticing what I was doing.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry; I didn't mean to hurt anyone, please forgive me. I kept saying through sobs and at that time someone burst through the door.
I felt their warm embrace and his sent, his light kisses on my cheek, his cooing, his love was all I felt. He sat me up and he wiped away my tears. I looked at Uncle Leo and he pulled me to his chest.
We both lay back onto the bed and he kept a tight embrace on me. His warmth blanketed me and his fatherly love lightened my heart.
I hiccupped, in-between, and he keeps whispering nothings into my hair. Despite his age Uncle Leo is still handsome than ever. With his stubble and salt and pepper hair he and uncle john both looks amazing together.
I'm sorry, I said between hiccups, he sighed and I relaxed into onto him.
Uncle Leo, I looked at him and he turns to me with questioning eyes.
Kiddo, he said. I looked at his features and let out what I had to tell him.
I'm really sorry; I dint me to hurt you or anyone with my childish actions. I didn't realized what I was doing. I didn't even know I pushed you all out. Please forgive me, I really didn't mean to.
Oh, Jaden what I'm I going to do to you. I forgive you from the minute you started moving that way. I was just going to wait until you come to terms with what you are doing.
I will never stop loving you and Simon or the boys big as you all get I will always love you all. You know that and you know you have a piece of me where ever you go. You have my love Jaden and despite what you do, a parent or guardian will always forgive you and will love you no matter what.
My heart was jumping for joy just hearing my Uncles voice in a fatherly manner, my heart was soaring and to be honest I know after today all will be well.
I relaxed back onto his side and wrapped my hands across his chest, closing my eyes I allowed his warmth to consume me before I drift off to sleep.
