Jaedens POV:

"Wyatt. What is all this stuff?" I ask him. I take the contents out of the box and spread them out. There's letters, 4 or 5 of them. And a few pictures. "There's a lot of stuff about me you don't know. And I thought I'd tell you a little bit" he says.

I nod. He picks up a note and hands it to me. I take it. I look at the note then back up at him. I start reading:

Dear Wyatt,

Baby I'm so sorry we had to send you there. You're just too young to understand why we had to. Your dad and I both really miss you. Write whenever, love you

~momma

I look back up at him and cock my brow. "I don't get it" I say. He smiles. "Just read the next one" I nod and take it as he hands it to me. And I start;

Wyatt. I know you're unhappy there. But it's the best I could do. Staying with your aunt didn't help, only made matters worse. I'm sorry, I know I always say that but I really mean it.
I love you son. -momma

"When was this?" I ask, looking at him. "First year I ever came here. I was 9. I'm 15 now Jae" I frown. And I thought I had it bad. I kiss his cheek, seeing as he's frowning too. "Why were you unhappy?" He hands me another note and doesn't say anything.

Son, I know you're upset with me for sending you there another year. But it's what I had to do. You're double digits now. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for your birthday. Next year you will get to stay here with me and your daddy. Love you -mom

I look up and he has another note extended for me. I take it. "Wyatt, you know you don't have to share all of this with me if you don't want to. Right?" He nods. "Jaeden. I trust you. More than I've ever trusted anyone. And I want you to know how fucked up I am before you jump into a relationship with me."

I kiss him. Right on the lips this time. Just so he knows I wouldn't change my mind about him.

I look down at the note.

Hey Wyatt. I know I said you wouldn't have to go there another year. But you'll make it. You're my big boy. One more year and you'll be a preteen. Very exciting. Happy birthday sweetie. I love you -mom

Wyatt's mom really kept making him come here. Year after year.

He gets up and comes back with another box. "I came when I was 12 too, but she didn't write to me that summer. She was in jail" he hands me another note without waiting for my response.

You're a teenager. I'm not happy with your decisions you've made but I guess no ones perfect. Happy birthday. Love you -mom

I feel anger boil inside of me. His mom didn't even make a effort.

"Wy. What decisions?" I ask, sounding like a little kid. "Before I came to summer camp the summer I turned 13.. I- I stole some alcohol from my dad. And I drank. It became a habit. I wasn't an addict or anything. I- I don't know." He reply's.

"That's why you didn't want to drink the night Sophia brought the alcohol?" I ask. Feeling like an asshole.

He nods. I sit in his lap and pull him Into a hug. He kisses my head. "Jae, it's really not a big deal, and it's definitely not your fault." I hug him tighter. Who knew we'd go from arguing to this.

"Here" He says handing me another note

Wyatt I don't know why you didn't just listen to Jason. He tries to teach you to respect people and to do as your told. You wouldn't be there if you would have just listened.

Mom.

"Who's Jason?" I instantly ask. "My stepdad." He replies. "What happened to your dad?"

"He left after my mom got really into drugs. She was having an affair with Jason. He wasn't gonna have it" he shrugs. "Why didn't he take you too if he knew your mom was doing drugs?" I question.

"I'll explain everything. Every single last thing about me and my life one day. But It's a lot to process. Just give me time" I nod. He hands me another note.

I'm sorry for all of the horrible things I've done. You have to understand that I love you and want what's best for you. I've made bad decisions. Having you, Samantha and Bryonna were not the bad ones. I'm sorry I'm a bad parent. Life will get better.

-mom

"Samantha and Bryonna?" I ask. "My sisters. Samantha is 10. Bryonna is 7" I nod. I wanted to ask more questions but I figured that I'd asked enough. "One more Jae" He says, extending the note in his hand"

I take it.

Wyatt, your mom went to jail again. Stop writing to this address, she will write to you from wherever she is. And whoever that dumb boy you have a crush on is, you better quite it right now boy before I get ahold of you

- Jason

"When was this?" I ask him. He opens his mouth to talk but pauses. "When I first started liking you I told my mom. It was a really stupid idea because Jason is really possessive and probably inspects everything my mom touches or looks at." He tells me.

I kiss him. Pecking him multiple times. He laughs and pulls away. He puts all of the notes back into the box and puts them away. He comes back and pulls me into a hug.

"Thank you" He whispers. "For what?" I whisper back. "Being here. Being you." I smile. "Always"

He kisses me. Someone burst into the room. "Wyatt what the fuck. This doesn't look like yelling at him!"

"Why would he yell at his boyfriend" I say, emphasizing boyfriend. "He fucking kissed someone else! You're dating him and he kissed Sophia!" Jack yells. "Jack, he didn't kiss her. She kissed him. We talked things out, I thought you'd be happy we're dating"

"You're dating?!" Sadie and Jeremy say, walking into the room. We both nod. Sadie jumps up and down, screaming. Jeremy smiles really big. Wyatt grabs my hand.

"Now we just need finn and jack to get together!" Sadie yells. "That's not happening" Jeremy informs. "What? Why not?" Jack asks. "Yeah why not?" I ask. Jermey looks from jack to me to Wyatt to Sadie. "You guys don't know?" He questions.

"Know what?" Jack asks, panicking now. "Finn.. he.. he's hanging out with Gabe now. I saw him earlier and he had dyed his hair and got a nose ring. He looks dope but that's besides the point. I tried to talk to him and he said 'fuck off fatass'"

What. The. Fuck.
