Jacob's POV

"Hey, are you okay?" I ask and wipes away a few of Gravis's tears. "I-I'm fine..." he sobs. I hear Shade sobbing too but Tox is already comforting him. "Gravis... do you want to get up to your suite?" "Y-yeah... Skylor?"

*timeskip*

After we've got Gravis into his suite he wheels up to his bed and starts crying again. "Shh! Shh! It's okay! I'm here for you! I'll always be!" I hug him tightly and kiss him. "I-I love you, Jacob!" "I love you too Gravis!" Suddenly, someone knocks on the door and... "What do you want?" I growl when I hear his mother's voice. "I want to be alone with my son alone for a minute?" "So you can yell at him again?" "No... I understand that you're protective over him!" "Jacob... It's okay! I'll call you if there would be any problem!" "Promise?" I whisper and hug him tightly again. "I promise!" I walk out but just stay outside as the door closes. I'm not leaving my boyfriend alone with that abusive little piece of- " "Hey, Jacob!" Shade's father says as he walks up to me. "What are you doing here?" I ask surprised. "Well... I talked with Amelia for a moment, and I think she's realized that she's raising her son in an abusive way! She's going to apologize to him now... and perhaps tell him the truth about his father..." "The truth? Didn't his father leave when he was a baby?" "No... and the real reason he grew up without a father was one of the main reasons Amelia is so critic.

Gravis's POV

I wheel up to my mother and just... get straight to the point. "What do you want?" "I... Want to tell you something... it's about your father!" "What about him? He left us when I was little!" I sigh. "No, he didn't!" She says and hands me a paper. I read it and... I don't realize until I see them dripping down on the paper that I have tears running down my cheeks. "H-he... he killed himself!" I sob. "H-he killed himself!" Suddenly I feel my mother's arms wrapped around me. "Shh! Shh! It's okay! I know this is hard for you!" "Y-you not gonna judge me?" "Of course not! I've been a huge idiot thinking that your father's death had to do with his sexuality! It wasn't! It was the fear of not being accepted and I... I've just made it worse now! Oh, Gravis! Your accident was all my fault! I shouldn't have slapped you, I shouldn't have yelled at you in the first place!" "I-I... I just want to know... Why were you so strict?" "Your father was always a sensitive type! He would get upset and sad very easily! I thought... If I raised you to be cold you wouldn't end up like that! But I was wrong! I was so SO wrong!" "H-how was he?" I ask. "M-my father?" "He was wonderful! So cute and funny... he was always loyal to me AND you! I remember one time when I was in the fifth month and we were SUPPOSED to eat at a nice restaurant but outside there was another woman smoking and he just dragged me to another restaurant!" 

I laugh a bit at what she tells me. But then I look at the paper again. "H-how would you've reacted if he told you?" "I... don't know... honestly I'm scared that I would've caused his suicide if I treated him like I've treated you!" She grabs my hand and squeezes it a bit. "Look I'm not asking you to forgive me! After how I treated you... I'm surprised you don't hate me!" "Mom-Mother... I would NEVER hate you! You were the one who raised me! Even if you were strict you still cared about me!" "A-and... That I was homophobic?" "I... I don't know... But I wouldn't hate you!" I hug her tightly and she whispers in my ear. "You can call me mom! You can even call me mommy if you want!" "R-really?" "Well... your friend is only five years younger than you and he calls his mom mommy!" "Thanks... mommy!" Wow! It feels kinda weird calling her that... I'm just gonna stick with mom! "So... how's the healing process?" "I... can stand up for almost two minutes... other than that..." I look down on my knees when my mom takes both my hands. "I'll help you! Can you try to stand up?" I do as she says, holding her hands tight when I suddenly feel my legs shaking again but I don't fall, I'm still standing up.

Amelia's POV

"Mom?" My son exclaims. "H-How?" "I'm using my powers on you!" I smile. "You're still putting weight on your legs but not that much! Tell me when you're tired!" He continues to stand for a while before he gives me s sign to stop.  He collapses on the ground laughing a bit when he falls. Wow... I haven't seen that spark in his eyes since he was... like eight years old? "So... the turban thing?" I ask, smirking a bit. "Oh! That's just like an accessory!" he answers as I help him get back in his wheelchair. "You know those guys who are like... pretending that they're floating and THEY always has a turban?" "Yes... I remember seeing lots of those when I was younger! It made me kinda mad..." "Well, I dressed like that for a short period after I've moved out! And then... I just thought it was comfortable having a turban!" "... Okay!" I chuckle. "About your boyfriend?" "Yes?" he says. squeezing both my hands. "Do you love him?" "Of all my heart!" "Does he love you?" "Yes!" "Then... I have no reason to judge you! But tell me if he hurts you!" "I promise! So... you're not mad at me?" "No... This is your choice! I shouldn't have judged you!"  Suddenly, the door opens and... Jacob? My son's boyfriend walks in. "Oh... She is actually not a bitch!" he says. "Well....... this is awkward!" And then we all just burst into laugher.
