Jake: ...

Erika: Jake listen...I know it's hard to believe. And I know I should've told you sooner.

Jake: Yeah you should have!

Erika: I'm sorry.

Jake: Well...what do you expect me to say?

Erika: I don't know.

Jake: Don't follow me. *runs upstairs*

Erika: *sighs*

Kylee: *runs in from the kitchen* Is Jake okay mommy?

Erika: Maybe sweetie. I'm not exactly sure at the moment.

Jake's POV
How could she keep this from me?! I deserve the right to know my own kid. I don't even know her name, or her birthday, or anything! I run upstairs to my room and look at the picture of me and Erika. I grab it and shove it in my drawer. I'm so mad at her right now! I look at my phone and see my background with me and Erika. I throw my phone against the wall and it shatters. I instantly run out the door and get in the car. Driving to the only place where I won't get hurt.

Erika: *hears shatter* Jake?

Jake: ...

Chance: Probably shattered his phone again.

Erika: Again?

Tessa: He gets mad about things like this.

Erika: *sighs*

Tony: At least you told him.

Erika: Yeah. But now he's mad and upset.

Tessa: He will get over it. After all it is his daughter.

Chance: She does have a point.

Erika: *sighs*

Tony: How bout you crash here for tonight. It's almost 8.

Erika: What about-

Chance: Believe me. If Jake gets this mad he normally leaves the house.

Erika: Why?

Tessa: Clear his mind. Think.

Erika: Oh.

Tony: You can just stay in Jake's room.

Erika: Are you sure?

Chance: Yeah. Totally.

Erika: Thanks guys. Come on Ky. Let's get you ready for bed.

Kylee: Aww! I wanna have fun!

Erika: We can have fun tomorrow, okay?

Kylee: okay.

Erika: I'll be back guys.

Tessa: Okay.

*In Jake's room*

Erika: *puts Kylee on the bed* Okay little goofball. Time to go to sleep.

Kylee: Mommy? Will Jake be okay?

Erika: I hope so honey.

Kylee: He was vewy (very) funny and he was a fun play buddy.

Erika: *laughs slightly* He was that type of person.

Kylee: How did you and Jake meet mommy?

Erika: That's a story for another time. Right now, you need to get some sleep.

Kylee: Okay. Good night mommy!

Erika: Good night! *kisses forehead and turns off the lights* I Love you.
