Jakes said "just meet your father, can't imagine how it's like living with him."

Laura said "what did he do?"

Jakes said "nothing, here's your food."

Laura said "Thank you, you don't have to stay here the whole day, I'm sure visiting hours are over now."

Jakes said "trying to get rid of me, well my father donates in this hospital, so they won't get rid of me."

Laura said "No, just don't want you to fall behind with school work."

Jakes said "that's too easy, they will e-mail me the notes what they did today, so don't stress about it."

Eric after he stormed out at the hospital he went straight home.

Eric's Mother said "why did you comeback early today?"

Eric said "we were not doing anything."

Eric's Mother said "boy did I raise you this way to lie to me?"

Eric said "it has to do with dad."

Eric's Mother said "what did he do to get you upset like this?"

Eric said "his lies, Taylor Thompson is a liar and an abuser."

Eric's Mother said "don't talk like that about your father, where is your respect?"

Eric's Father said "I heard my name, what is the noise about?"

Eric's Mother said "ask your son, seem to know everything."

Eric's Father said "what?"

Eric said "did you rape Laura's mother and is that the reason you don't get along with Mr John black Laura's father?"

Eric's Father said "I'm ashamed to say I did Son, I'm not proud of myself what I did was horrible, the pain I cause I will have to carry this guilt and shame until I die."

Eric's Mother said "how did you find out Eric?"

Eric said "so you knew all along."

Eric's Mother said "It's complicated Son, your father made a mistake no need for you to know anything. "

Eric's Father said "he deserve to know, I should have told you."

Eric said "what about Laura?"

Eric's Mother said "what about her? This has nothing to do with her."

Eric said ��you are wrong, she is your daughter dad it is not enough you ruin her mother's life, you ran away from your responsibility, and you are a coward."

Eric's Mother said "she is your daughter Taylor, how could you not tell me this?"

Eric's Father said" I didn't know, I have a daughter how could her parent's keep me away from my daughter and Will have to see john black."

Eric's Mother said "Careful now, don't get carried away, what will the church do if they knew this and I'm not going to be a laughing stock because of your past."

Eric said "you are just worried, people will see that you are not so perfect you and your husband, has nothing to do with the church. "

Eric's Father said "don't talk to your mother like that."

Eric said "forgive me for my tone, mother likes to make everything about her, this is not about her."

Eric's Mother said" It's about that poor Laura."

Eric's Father said "Enough, tomorrow will sit down and talk now just need to rest. "

Jakes's father said "where have you been?"

Jakes said "At the hospital."

Jakes's father said "are you not well and why are you smiling."

Jakes said "I'm good, Laura is in hospital and I'm smiling because I'm in love hopeful things will work out"

Jakes's father said "did she hit her head hard to now wanting you to be her boyfriend?"

Jakes said "not funny, we are not couple yet."

Jakes's father said "still taking your time, I'm old jakes stop giving me grey hairs with your boring love life."

Jakes said "she is the one, I will take my time and do things differently. "

Jakes's father said "I don't care much about what you do, just want you to focus and run this empire one day."

Jakes said "I am not interested in listening to you talk about business, me being your heir."

Jake's father said "will have to Son, grow up and be a man."

Jakes thought "what does it mean to be a man, I didn't have a choice what to study, can't have my own opinion own goals my future already set up for me, before you say I'm whining complaining it's not all great to be privileged and be born into money"
