Be Liam:
Today my wife and HER son come to move back in with me. My baby is coming with them. Finally a child of my own. Not like that horrible child of HER'S.
I help Fiona get settled in. While 'Jake' fends for himself. Such a stupid name. Why couldn't I have named him? Henry would've been so much better.
After everything is set up, it's time for lunch. Jake starts searching through my cabinets. He finds some candy and as soon as he closes the cabinet and starts unwrapping a piece, I smack it out of his hands.
"Don't touch my stuff you little shit!" I yell at him.
Tears form in his eyes, I smile as, he screams running away from me.
Soon after, Fiona comes downstairs. She's holding Jake as if he were still a new born. He's bawling.
"Liam, don't touch my son." She says it in a confident voice, so powerful like.
"And why would you bring that up all of the sudden?" I ask innocently.
"You're the only person that can scare him in here. And he's not bruised from falling, so I know you've done something to him." She nuzzles him.
"What wrong with what I did? All I said is that needs to stay out of my stuff. What's he got, some type of mental disorder?"
She covers his ears, "the doctors say he has Schizophrenia, don't insult him. He's confused about what reality is. He's caught up in a dream, that doesn't seem to end. He comes home early 4 out of 5 days of school. He's scared people want to hurt him. And you aren't helping, Liam. I'd appreciate you not trying to hurt and scare him. Because of you, he's begging me to move back in with my mother or sister."
I thought about what she'd said. Schizophrenia.. Delusions.. He has no idea what reality is... Fiona is all he has in this world...
She uncovers his ears. "Jakey, do you want to go upstairs and take a nap?" She asks him. He gives a little nod.
"W-will you stay with me?" He asks her.
She nods, "Yes baby. Your bed or mine?"
"Mine" he says, shoving his face into her shoulder.
Did he think I was trying to kill him when I smacked his hands?
The thought didn't leave my mind. Not even after a shower and a nights long rest.
What's it like in his head? What's his reality?
