Sophia just went to my son's room and Noah followed her. But he came back.

"Are you serious, right now?"

"What do you want Noah?"

"I don't want anything. What the fuck? You tell me you like her," he points at Bear's room, "but now you bring Charlotte from the company here?"

"Woah. Chill. She rejected me."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes. I tried to get her to spill her feelings out. She didn't. She told me she had no feelings for me. She fucking rejected me, so she doesn't get to be mad at me right now."

"But 𝘺𝘰𝘶 like her!"

"So? She doesn't like me back."

"What made you think in the first place that she likes you back? Because she didn't like that Christina was here? 𝘐 didn't like that Christina was here. She's—was—your friend, Shawn. Maybe she didn't like that Christina was here because she knew what she'd done to you. It doesn't have to be because she likes you."

"She looked hurt. She looked betrayed. This just shows me that she likes me back but won't admit it."

"Shawn. Not every girl likes you. Not at all. What you're doing here is revenge. Because she rejected you. Stop being so cocky!"

"Noah. Shut the fuck up."

"This is the truth. Your ego was hurt. So you want to hurt her in return. You knew she was going to see you with Charlotte. You're hurting the girl you like because she hurt your ego. Wow. Dick move."

"𝘚𝘩𝘦 told me she didn't have feelings for me! She told me she wanted to keep it professional! What are you blaming me for?!"

He shakes his head.

"I mean... why the fuck would she be hurt if she didn't like me? Why would she run to my son's room if she didn't like what she saw?"

"So you think she likes you?"

"Exactly!"

"But you thought that she liked you and you still did what you did. Do you even like Charlotte?"

"No."

"So you were using a girl to make another jealous."

"Shut up. You don't get to speak about me using a girl! You're a womanizer!"

"Yes I'm a fucking womanizer. But I don't use girls for my schemes." He sighs.

"So you're defending her now? What? Is she your new friend?"

"Yes! She's my best friend!" He yells.

"I don't know what's happening to you, Shawn. This is not you."

He's right.

"I'm a fucking ass! Fuck me!" I yell, frustrated.

"I'm leaving, Shawn."

He opens the front door to leave. But Bear was listening to all of this shit. He was right out the door.

"Hey buddy."

"Hi Uncle Noah."

Noah got Bear inside and left, closing the door behind him.

"Dad?"

"Yes?"

"What happened?"

"Nothing buddy. Nothing for you to worry about."
