STEF'S POV:

so, it was Brandon's first day of therapy today. I know it will take time for him to feel himself again and get out of his habits but he's my son, and I'll give him nothing but time.

I mean, yes. I didn't see him often, yes he abandoned me for crime, but there wasn't a day that went by when I hadn't thought of him, he's on my mind 24/7 and I love him. It breaks my heart seeing him choose bad habits such as grand theft auto, stealing cars and shops. He broken my heart. So, yes, I hope he changes and becomes the son I had seen many years ago before his bad lifestyle choice.

"Do I have to sit in therapy with him? You know I hate therapy. It makes me feel useless and unworthy" I said to Lena hoping I wouldn't have to go, but if it meant Brandon getting better, then I'd do anything.

"Yes, you have to. They need to hear about your story too, and why he chose to live with his father, something that can help you honey, you need answers too my love" she replied stepping closer to me in the hallway as we wait for Brandon.

"Ok, is he ready?"

"I'll go check" she said kissing me softly on the lips as she knocked on his door.

LENA'S POV:

I was just about to ask if he was ready until I overheard him on the phone with someone.

"No, dad I can't do that. I like it here, I miss mom, I want this life dad, please understand"

Oh my gosh, he was on the phone to his dad, he was begging to stay here and choose this life, but his dad drawn him back. He was a bad influence. I can see how desperate he was to become his true self again and be apart of this family and Follow his college dreams.

"Dad, please...don't. I..."

I didn't hear another word after so I assumed the phone call was over and knocked on the door, "you ready bud?" I asked not wanting to invade any of his privacy by opening the door.

I heard the door handle spin anti-clockwise so I stepped back as he opened the door with blood shot eyes for I could tell he had been crying, clearly about his dad.

"You ok?" Stef said as she walked in coming to check on us and get us in the car.

"Yes, just nervous about therapy, but I want this, I really do"

"We know" I said rubbing his back leading him to the car.

I feel bad for him, first thing we needed to take care of was making sure he loses his dads number and stops contact with him for a while. Then take everything one step at a time.

STEF'S POV:

We pulled up outside of therapy, I felt him breath heavily and so did I, but we was in this together. I placed my hand in his knee as he sat in the passenger seat.

"We can do this son" I reassured pulling my keys out the car.

I begun to open the door and step out until he grabbed my wrist pulling me back in the car. What the hell? Why?

"What's wrong?" I ask facing him in the car.

"Mom, I-i just want to say that I'm sorry, I know I made your life hard. I'm sorry I chose dad and a bad lifestyle. But I choose you now. I'm sorry I didn't come and visit on weekends and I'm sorry I didn't become aware of how important it was for me to follow your footsteps in a good education, being a cop like you, and grandad. I'm sorry I broke your heart and made your life hell. I know I can't change the past but I'm planning on changing my future." I could help but break down right here, right now. All his apologies in the past meant nothing, but I could see in his deep watery eyes that this was sincere.

"It's ok bud, we will improve our relationship from here, I love you"

"I love you too, now come on, let's get this over with" he said opening his door and stepping out.

This was the start, the start of getting my son back, but I had a few questions running through my head constantly, where was his dad? Why had he just now chosen to come home? And does his dad know?
