*Brandon's Point Of View *

I feel stupid. I feel I caused this. I told Channing where my father would be that day. I told him how much I wish my father would just disappear. I didn't know Channing would take my word's literally. I feel especially ashamed that I still held animosity towards my father and took it to the man that is even worse. I wish I can turn back time. I wish I can just go and stop myself from venting. I could've lost my father and would have had to silently deal with the guilt. I've been waiting to tell mom and dad but I'm so afraid. But I know today is now or never. I wake up early before everyone else this morning. I needed time to get my plan together. Mom is in her room and I think dad is with her. That's another thing that's been bothering me. I've heard the story of getting their vows renewed but no action has been taken place besides what I hear from her bedroom half the time. I wish they would just officially move us in one house as a family. I walk out of the bathroom after freshening up for today. Still thinking up something as I slowly tip-toe downstairs. Knowing my father I have to butter him up with food or mom; mom is out of the question. I know little to nothing about cooking but I did learn a few thing's from my last boyfriend. I finally enter the kitchen and began rummaging for the old breakfast classic; pancakes. "Whatcha doin' buttface? ", Jasmine asked entering the kitchen a few minutes later. I roll my eyes. "What does it look like I'm doing you Asian-battle-rat? ", I retorted taking out the mix. She huffs. "I'm going to tell dad....", I pause and roll my eyes. "Go ahead...piss him off...that's the way to start a morning! ", I exclaimed sarcastically. She doesn't reply. "That's what I thought.... ", I turn back and finish measuring the mix. "Why are you still in here?", I asked grabbing the milk from the fridge. "I'd ask you the same thing but I have no time to hear about your sob story of coming from Mrs. Kilpatricks ass..." I chuckle. "Thought really hard about that one huh?", "Oh shut-up! ", She said clearly annoyed. I chuckle and add the egg yolk and began mixing. "It's funny you said that because last time I checked I came out of my mothers vagin... Heeey daaady-o! ", I squealed awkwardly. Jasmine laughs. Dad gives me a look. "Hey kid's... Now what were you about to say Brandon-o? ", I clear my throat and laugh. It came off as more of an awkward laugh than I wanted. "I was going to say Virginia... that's the motherland of butter...ha-ha...", Jasmine smirks at me loving every bit of my embarrassment. "Virginia huh?.. Well I thought I head vagina.. You two need to get it together.. it was cut when you were older but now it's sad...Brandon you're 17 ..Jasmine you're 13....act like it...", He said walking out. "By the way I like my pancakes fluffy with s bit of a crunch..", He added vanishing behind the door. I glare at Jasmine. "Brit-Brat... ", I murmured taking out the frying pan. "Ass-crack... ", she retorted turning to walk away. "Swearing is for those who lack in vocabulary.... thought you should know.... ", "Swearing is for people who lack in vocabulary.... said the still ugly looking Ass-crack... ", She mocked also vanishing behind the door. I pause for a moment to mentally choke the hell out of her...

*Michael's Point Of View*

Best way to start a morning? End an argument between your teenage daughter and son! Then continue on to the best tasting pancakes in the world! Only to End with an entre of bullshit. "Papa calm down....He was venting... ", Marilyn said trying to soothe me. I continue pacing her room. I stop and glance at her shaking my head. "No no no...venting.... Oh venting is writing how fucked up your life is in a poem or on a piece of paper and throwing it away....what He did was basically call a hit on me!!", I exclaimed now pacing again. Marilyn sighs and sits on the bed. "Michael...you're being paranoid...", "He tried....Did just say I'm being paranoid? ", I stop and look at her. "Papa... He thought Channing was just being An ear to listen... he's been needing that.....Look come here...", I obey and walk to her. She stands up holding a mirror to my face. "Do you see that?", She asked looking from the mirror to me. I shrug. "I don't know... what am I looking for...", She sighs. "Look in the mirror Michael... do you see that little boy?", I shake my head. "Look closer... " She enthused. I sigh and look closer. "That little boy you see was you...He had a father He couldn't understand....He wanted so badly to have a bond with his father...but unfortunately that bond came too late..", She said now setting down the mirror. "Michael don't let history repeat itself.. go talk to your son...", I stare at her in Awe. "Where in the heck did Oprah come from?! But alright mama...you're right...I'll go talk to him...", Marilyn giggles. "That's my papa..", She whispered placing a gentle kiss on my lips. I hold the kiss a little longer before breaking it. "You know...if you do that again I'm not leaving right?", She giggles and pushes me lightly. "Please go with all your dirty talk...", She joked. I smirk. "I think we should have more conversations like that... talk dirty to me..", I sing skipping out. I take in a deep breath for mental preparation. I walk down the hall to Brandon's room and knock. "Come in...", Brandon called from behind the door. I slowly open the door. "Sup champ...", I said sliding from behind the door. "Look dad I know I was wrong... I'm sorry... I'll take whatever punishment just don't hate me...", He pleaded sitting up on his bed. I sigh. "I forgive you..I understand... I haven't done a good job of my fatherly duties...I know..I went through the same thing with my father.... but what I won't do is ignore that..I'm sorry as Well....I should've been there for you through your breakups and achievements...I should have met your boyfriend before you guys made it official...I'm sorry...all I can offer you is a forgiving heart and a spot as my best man Well one of the spots....", Brandon looks at me with bewilderment. "You know about my other boyfriends?.... ", I nod. "Even... my current boyfriend? ", "Wait I thought you broke-up with that David guy last month?", Brandon laughs. "Nooo that was Johnathan.... David is a friend.... ", I shake my head chuckling. "Gosh if you and Jasmine aren't twins...", "Dad... that's a different type of gay....I'm not the girly out-there gay...I just like boys...end of story " I scratch my head and laugh. "Well will you be one of my best men at this vow renewal? ", He stands up and nods. "Of course! Uhh when is it?", "Still working on it....", He shakes his head. "I can help..if you want? ", I smile and nod. "I would love that...", I said standing up. I walk to his door. "Brandon? ", "Hmm?", "I want to meet this David okay? ", He rolls his eyes playfully. "Okay I'll see what I can do...", "You better or else...", I joked winking at him. I close the door behind me. "You Did good Jackson... you did good...", I whispered to myself...
