Book 3 : Smooth Yet Dangerous Michael Jackson Fan Fic

Hearts

I sat at the table with Ben. He ate SpaghettiOs. I had my head in my hands  just trying to figure shit out.  "I didn't mean to make you guys fight." Ben said guilty. "You didn't make us fight baby." I said. "I know dad's just being tough on me..... I didnt know how bad it was out here. I got really scared today mom." He confessed. "When you said you hated us and we werent your real parents, I think you really hurt your dad's feelings. It hurt my feelings too but your dad is really sensitive whether he admits it or not. And with the divorce I think that made it worse, his heart was already hurting and you saying that I think really got to your dad." I told him. He took a deep breath, "I'm sorry.... I really do love you guys.... I don't know what was the matter with me." He said ashamed. I brushed my hand over his short hair then his shoulder. "I know me and daddy's divorce is really hard on you guys. It's hard on us too." I told him holding his chin. "Why though... I don't want you guys apart." He said upset. "I'm having a lot of issues right now Ben... I hate to admit that to you but whether you agree or disagree we haven't been the best parents. All we do is fight. I think this is the best option." I told him. "Do you still love dad?" He asked with hope. I smiled lightly, "I will always love him but what I really think you should be worrying about is apologizing to your dad." I said kissing his head. He nodded getting up from the table.

Ben's POV

I stood outside the door, I paced trying to figure out what I was going to say to my dad. He's been so tough on me lately, I'm scared he won't forgive me. I knocked on his door. I heard him groan, "dad.... can I come in, please?" I asked. "Yeah yeah, come in buddy." He said in a sleepy voice through the Door. I opened the door as dad turned a lamp on. "Is everything okay?" He asked. I nodded looking down at my hand, "I didn't wanna wake you up but this couldn't wait." I said as I could feel myself getting choked up. I feel so bad. "Come here buddy, what's wrong?" He asked. I took a few steps closer to him. I took a deep breath trying to block away my tears. "I'm so sorry dad." I said then I broke down. "Hey hey hey, come on. Don't cry buddy." He said pulling me into his chest, hugging me. "I'm so sorry dad. You're the best Dad ever." I cried hugging him. "I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, I don't know what's wrong with me." I cried. "Its been a tough couple weeks buddy. It's okay." He said rubbing my back. "No it isn't! I have a good life and I now see how ungrateful I was being. No one's perfect but you and mom have given me a good life  compared to what I could've had." I said wipping my tears. "I'm glad you see that now, but I knew at some point we'd have to bring you here. Your dad is buried here, this is where you were born, this where me and your mom met. It's an important place for all 3 of us." He said. I nodded, "I wonder what my dad is like a lot."I confessed ashamed. "Don't be ashamed of that, I will never take place of your dad. When we brought you home, we promised to keep your dad in your life because he will always be your real dad. I am your dad but Levi is you. You wanna know what he's like, look in the mirror. You are the spiting image of your dad. You act like him, you look like him." He told me. I smiled a little. "Really?" I asked. "Your goofy just like him." I heard my mom say as she walked into the room smiling, sitting on the bed next to my dad. As I saw her though, the thought of my biological mother came to mind. "You guys say I get all this stuff from my dad but what about my mom?" I asked, I saw my mom shift uncomfortably when I asked. "That's probably something I should tell you." My dad huffed.  "Michael-" "no, I made arrangements for him to meet his mom." He said looking at my mom ashamed. Mom and I looked at him shocked. "And you didn't think to ask me about this or even tell me?!" My mom hollered. He looked down at his lap trying to find the right words, "I was going to but I didn't know how." He said. She shook her head, "I can't believe you." She said looking away from him. "When do I get to see her?" I asked softly. "Tomorrow afternoon. You and your mom are going to see her." He said. "I'm not going.".  She stated. "Well I can't and I think one of is should do this with him." He said getting frustrated. She shook her head wiping her tears. "Fine." She said. I walked to my mom, hugging her. "I just wanna know what she looks like. You are my mom. My only mom." I told her. She smiled a little.
