Ryan P.O.V.

I haven't seen short dad at all for the past two days. He has called me though. It's now Thursday and I just got home from school. I heard the door unlock but I just kept eating my cereal. Christopher is upstairs sleeping.

"Welcome home dad!".

Unexpectedly, it was short dad. He walked to me and smiled. "Hey there Anny. I haven't seen you in a long time. Is your father here?".

I shook my head. "Okay. I just need to grab some stuff".

I didn't say anything so he walked over to my side if the kitchen island and hugged me. He kissed my head.

"Im sorry for not being here for you right now".

I hugged him back. "I miss you dad. Tall dad isn't the same without you".

He sighed. "Im sorry..I just can't come home right now. It's a business thing".

He turned around to go upstairs. About ten minutes after he went upstairs, tall dad came through the front door. I dropped my spoon.

"Hey dad.."

He raised an eyebrow. "What happened?"

I shook my head. Short dad decided to come downstairs now.
"Okay Ryan, Ill be back soon so--"

He stopped talking and looked at tall dad. They both stared at eachother.

"Maxwell..."

Short dad looked away from him and came over to me. "Ill see you soon".

Maxwell P.O.V.

I thought Thomas was supposed to be at work. He usually works late. Why did it change?

"Maxwell..."

He started coming closer to me and I backed up. I shook my head and tried to run past him. He grabbed my waist and pulled me to him.

"Maxwell please...just...stay".

I felt the tears threatening to spill. His arms wrapped around me tighter and I tried to push him off.

"Stop Thomas!! Get off of me!".

He rested his head on my shoulder. "I'm sorry Maxwell. Please don't leave. Please".

His voice sounded so strained, it broke my heart. But, I'm just not ready yet. I elbowed him in the stomach really hard and he let me go.

I backed away with tears shining in my eyes. "I can't right now Thomas...I just can't".

I ran out the house. I am honestly a coward, but I just wasn't prepared for this yet. Once again, I am running away.

Ryan P.O.V.

This is turning into a serious matter. Tall dad looks close to tears and just walked upstairs. Once I heard his door close, I ran to Chris' room.

"Chris! Chris!"

I shook him and he swatted his hands at me. "Leave me alone".

I huffed. "This is an emergency!! We are in a critical situation!! Prepare for war!!"

He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "What's wrong?"

I explained everything that just happened and he looked very concerned.

"We will discuss what to do tomorrow with Logan and Robert".

I nodded. It's time to think of a plan.

Saturday Morning:

It's time. The doorbell rang and I ran to answer it. Tall dad had to go to work which worked perfectly with our plan. Robert and Logan walked in and we all nodded at eachother.

Phase 1 is to get them here. Me and Christopher were the ones in charge of the first part of phase 1. Robert and Logan were setting up part 2.

I called small dad and Christopher called Tall dad. He picked up on the second ring.

"Hey Anny, what's wrong?"

"DAD!! HELP, IT HURTS, PLEASE HELP DAD! HEL-"

I cut the call off. That should be enough for him to come here. Chris was already off the phone and Robert and Logan came downstairs. We all hid upstairs and waited for them to come.

It only took a few minutes for short dad to come. Robert hit a button on his phone and a recording of my voice played from a room in the house.

Tall dad came next and we played the same trick except it was Chris's voice that he heard. Once they were both in the room, we locked the door and put something heavy to block the door from opening.

One of them started banging on the door. I sighed.

"Hi dad's. Um as both of you know, you haven't been speaking to eachother and you have been angry at eachother. I don't know why, but please make up".

Chris stepped forward. "So stop being wusses and go back to being all mushy and gushy. Until you do, neither one of you will be coming out of that room. Don't worry about food and water. There should be enough in there. There's a bathroom as well so there is time. Have fun".

Chris turned back to us. "Me and Logan are gonna be in my room".

He took Logans hand and they walked to his bedroom. Hm.

Robert smiled and nudged me.

"Wanna go watch some movies?"

I nodded and he held my hand. His thumb rubbed circles on my hand.

"It's going to be okay Ry, trust them".

I hugged him and nuzzled him. "Thank you Robby".

He rested his head on mine. "Anytime Ry Ry".

Maxwell P.O.V.

I sat down on a chair in the room and sighed. Those kids really played us well.

"Can we talk Maxwell?"

I sighed. "We don't really have a choice".

He ran a hand through his hair. There were bags under his eyes and he looked tired.

"When Mikey had kissed me, I did not kiss him back. I didn't even know what was going on. By the time I had realized what was going on, I pushed him off".

I looked down at my lap. The raw emotion in his eyes was too overpowering.

"Why did you let me come there?"

"I'm sorry Maxxy. I am so sorry. I didn't want anything bad to happen and I know that I should've warned you before you came".

I sniffled. "I'm sorry for running from you. I was scared. Those words that he said made me scared of losing you. I am sorry as well".

It was silent and then he got up and sat next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest. I could hear the thundering beats of his heart.

"I love you Thomas".

"I love you too Maxwell".

"Forever and always?"

"Forevr and always".
