The Owl Loves The Fox [Vantoonz One Shots]

I'll be there for you

Part 1

Luke sighed and looked at the empty part of the room. The part he let Evan have for his things. Something about the place felt uncomfortable now. It just didn't feel like home anymore.

Walking downstairs to look at Evan give peppermint kisses to their son, it made him feel horrible. "Don't leave, please." He found himself breathing heavily, as if the air was being taken away from him.

"Luke, you know I can't. Not when I don't love you." Evan sighed. There it went again. His heart slowly breaking more and more. "Please Evan, I can change! Sky won't forgive me when he's older.. you're the only one who gave me the courage to be myself again. I screwed up twice, yes but.. calling off our engagement because I need help is blaming me for having issues I can't control alone.." Luke stared at him, his eyes becoming irritated with tears.

Evan stood there in thought. Luke couldn't handle him just being quiet. "I love you Evan..and to throw away our new beginning for something as simple as my depression..hurts. Just give me another chance."

He shook his head din reply to Luke. "I can't. I don't want to end up hurt again." How could he? How could he just throw me away.. "Fine..leave, I don't care!" Luke shouted but also started to cry. He just wanted Evan out of his sight now. Evan left without a word.

☆Years later☆

"So, have you heard from your father yet Skylar?" Luke was making dinner for the both of them. All those years later, Luke managed just to take care of his son. "You mean the one that left us?" Skylar mumbled, sitting at the counter. "Skylar, I will not to relate you dissing him like that. He left because he wasn't ready to handle us."

"Then why does he have a family of his own?" His son almost shouted. Luke set the knife in his hand, down and sighed. "Because he worked hard for them.. He just felt rushed into things with us."

"Well he doesn't care about us now!" Skylar screamed. "It's been sixteen years dad! He's never coming back!" All Luke could manage was to look at his son. "We never lose hope.. how do you think I managed to take care of you on my own all this time? I even got a second job so you could have a goddamn phone and the car you wanted. Don't tell me your father isn't coming back when you don't know the fucking truth Skylar!"

Luke let go. He let it out. Sixteen years of pain just let out with a simple scream. But it wasn't enough. A lot of it was still there. He looked away and grabbed the knife, continuing with dinner. "I didn't mean to yell.. but I gave up everything to take care of you.. and I never left your father's side when he needed me the most."

Skylar stared at his dad before looking down at his phone as it went off. "Dad texted me.. said he needs to call you, it's important."
