Alright I'm back guys and I hope your ready for these two chapters. Now as you know it took me a long time to update on those last two but maybe I'll make it up to you all. Now there was a reason for me not being on here but I'll probably save that for the end. So enjoy :)

"Derek?"

He looked up and I could tell he was upset. But when he saw me he faked a smile.

"So you like ease dropping don't you?" He asked with a sarcastic tone. How...how the hell did he know?

"I could practically hear your breathing from a mile away Alice."

I looked down being ashamed that I got caught but its not like it's the first time. I sat down in one of his chairs and decided to actually announce why I was here in the first place.

"Is uh...is everything alright?" I asked with hesitation.

"Everything is fine as long as that thing doesn't come back into my house."

"Derek that so called thing is you're son. You shouldn't call him that." It's kind of hard trying to defend someone you barely know but hey, I can do what I want.

Derek put down his pen and looked at me with anger, "So what should I call him? Gay? A fag? Because I think that's what he was telling me just a minute ago Alice."

Wait what?! Lucas is gay? Whoa. And he decided to tell one of the most homophobic people I know as of right now. I looked down again trying to think of words but I couldn't.

"And I knew something was up!" He banged his hand on his desk and got up. He came to the front of his desk and leaned against it so he was in front of me which made me feel small. But I could get a look at the pain that was in his eyes. He seemed disappointed now.

"I don't know what to do with him." He said shaking his head.

I thought for a minute, "Maybe you should just accept it. I mean...there's nothing you can really do. But since you are his 'supporting' father and he is pretty much an adult now, he should be able to take his own path with or without you. It's his choice that he made."

We sat in silence for a moment and then he sighed and scratched his temple before finally speaking, "just give me some time...okay?"

I got up to leave but before the door closed he called me and said, "Thank you Alice." I smiled and softly closed the door to go find Abby again.

This time she was in her room. I knocked before entering and she sat up on her bed allowing me to see her red puffy eyes.

"Don't ask. I'm fine." She said and she plopped back down again. I'm still wondering what Derek said to her earlier but she can tell me if she wants to so tried changing up the subject.

"No you're not. I just had a talk with Derek and I now know that Lucas is gay." I said sounding surprised.

She looked back up and said, "How was that not guessable Alice?" I walked over to her bed to sit down and she sat up to sit with me.

"I guess it's because I thought he tried to hit on me earlier." I answered hiding a small smile, "Anyway, how were my moves on the mat?"

She looked at me with a confused face before she started laughing. "Well I can tell you that you have a lot to learn."

For the next 2 hour or so we spent talking about ourselves and got to know each other better. I learned some dark things about Abigail's past.

Her father had left her mother when she was 12 years old and has never been seen since, she had lost a younger sister to cancer, and her mother has been ill for a long time and that's why Abby works very hard on what she does. I almost cried hearing all of this but she was so calm about all of it.

"I'm so sorry Abby. I never would of known any of this form just looking at you. You are so strong."

She looked down at her hands about to say something when there was a knock on the door.

She got up to answer but as she reached for the handle the door swung open pushing her to the floor....and of course this was Xavier. What a fool.

"Sorry about that Abigail. Um...anyway, I made you guys dinner." He said with a genuine smile. How nice? I think there's something fishy going on.

He looked down at Abby who was still on the floor and stuck out his hand to help her up. She smacked his hand away and got up with a frown on her face.

"You know you love me." He said with a wink and closed the door. Abby changed her face into a smirk and turned around to go into the bathroom to get freshened up and I decided to go back into my room to do the same.

When I came downstairs to go into the dinning room I saw looked out and saw a shadow of something. I paused to look at the window thinking of anything that it could be and being the mosey person that I am I walked to the window and opened it.

I only got to stick my head out for a second before getting scared to death by someone. I screamed like there was a murder and fell to the floor, hitting my ass. When I figured out if I was alive still, I heard laughing and looked out the window to see Anthony! And he had that black skull mask painted on his face. It really brought out his eyes. Shut up Alice that's not the point!

"Anthony! You asshole! What is wrong–" he cut me off and put his finger on my lips through the window, "Shh. I'll be back." He said with a smirk and put his head down leaving me to look out the window at nothing.

"Alice are you ok? I heard opscreaming." I turned around to see Xavier looking down at me like I was crazy.

"Um...Yea, I'm fine."

"Well come over to dinner with me." He said and stuck out his hand for me to grab.

We walked into the dinning room and the first person I see is Amar and I scold. I keep my gaze on him and ask Xavier what the hell is he doing this for. And he just laughs.

This is going to be one tense dinner.....
