Just then, the door opened.
"Mommy?" A 6-year old child, Jayden - Nya and Zayon's son called out quietly. Nya had gained forty pounds when having him, which is why she wished he never started to grow in her stomach.
"Yes, bubba?"
"I'm cold. Can you turn on the heat?" Jayden requested sweetly.
"Of course, bubby. Just give me and your daddy a moment."
"No," Zayon said suddenly. "I don't want a 'moment' with your mommy. Go turn on the heat, like he asked, Nya."
Nya gave Zayon an annoyed glance. She then looked at Jayden and smiled so he wouldn't think anything was wrong.
"Let's go turn on the heat."
"Okay, that's great!" Jayden smiled. Nya sighed and walked over to the AC to turn on the heat. Zayon rolled his eyes, probably for the third time in less than an hour.
Zayon went to a social media account app and clicked on a contact, labeled "Luke 😏".
--- Luke 😏 ---
--
yo luke, you wanna play gas on facetime????
--
yes ofccc, i'll call u rn
--
alr !!

--
stfu, you should be getting a call request now

--
oh, i got it.
--
Zayon picked up the Facetime request.
"Hey, Luke."
"Connect your game, I don't wanna wait." Luke answered.
"HEY, LUKE." Zayon repeated, more aggressively.
"Hey, or whatever." Luke muttered, annoyed. "Please connect your game."
"Ok, ok." Zayon said. Zayon put his phone on his bed and connected in his controller to his TV. He then started his G.A.S. game. He took his controller and walked a little bit with his character. He then put his controller down, walked to his bed, and grabbed his phone. He walked to his gaming chair and sat in it.
"I connected my game."
"Alright," Luke said. "You wanna steal people's money like we did last time?"
"YES!!" Zayon replied excitedly. Basically, Luke and Zayon's way of stealing money would be getting the fastest car they have and driving up to someone and telling them that if they give them some money, they'd double it the money and give them the doubled money. Except, they didn't double it, they would run back to the fast car and drive away with the person's money. They did it many times and succeeded each time. They even tried it on a police officer!
"Let's steal this man's money." Luke said. Zayon and Luke ran over to the guy and said that if he gave them some money, they would double it. After a few minutes, the man's money was stolen and Luke and Zayon successfully earned, well stole, $1,000 dollars.
"Zayon!"
No answer. Just yelling and laughing. Nya sighed and rolled her eyes. 𝘏𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘥 𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦. 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘴.
"Mommy, what's Daddy doing?" A small voice asked.
Nya jumped at the sound of the mousy voice, then realizing that it was just her son, she calmed down. "Oh, Jayden. Um, he's playing a game."
"Ooh, a game? What type of game?"
"A..." Nya paused. She didn't exactly know what type of game G.A.S. even was. Her mind went blank trying to think of a response. "Um, a good game."
"Oh, that's great! I'll go play with him!"
There, came the response that Nya didn't want at all. She feared that her baby boy would pick up the attitude his father had while playing, which was not a good one. Zayon was very much a sore loser when he lost and and a rude and degrading winner when he won. Plus, Nya didn't think that Zayon would like Jayden's presence while he was playing, either.
"Oh,... no bubba, I don't think that's a good idea."
"What?" Jayden jeered. "Me and Daddy always play tag and hide and seek together."
Nya tried to not make Jayden feel as if she didn't want him to spend time with his dad, or have fun playing games on the weekend. She really wanted both of those things. But she was never gonna let Jayden play with the man who doesn't play around with G.S.A., while he was playing G.S.A.
"Um, I don't think you'd like the game."
"But you said that game is good." Jayden pointed out. "Were you lying to me?!"
Nya was shocked at this accusation. "Of course not! I would never lie to you!"
"Good," Jayden said, "The last person who lied to me was this boy at school named Yannick, and I never spoke to him again."
Nya raised her eyebrows. "Yannick? Your best friend?"
"Yep," Jayden sighed, "Now I have another best friend who doesn't lie to me."
Nya was surprised at how quickly Jayden had cut off his best friend. Jayden had always talked about Yannick and what a good friend he was, but now they're not friends anymore because of a lie? Nya would think that Jayden would forgive and forget, but he ditched someone he loved so much because of lies. That made Nya worried, because Jayden loved her a lot, but if he found out all the lies that hadn't been revealed to him about his father, he would probably never talk to Nya, either.
"That's good," Nya said quietly. Then she raised her voice a little so she could be understood. "But you and Yannick were so close, he even came here a few times, and you cut him off because of a lie?"
"Isn't that normal?" Jayden asked, returning the question. "Daddy always tells me that if someone makes you in a position that you're believing a lie, you should stop associating with them."
Even though Nya was very ecstatic that her son had just used advanced grammar and vocabulary for his age, it was weighed out by the fact that man who sometimes lies himself said to his son to discard anyone who lies to him, without telling his son to not lie himself. Which was hypocritical of him.

"It is normal, bubba, but remember to not lie yourself."
"Of course not. I don't want Daddy to not like me anymore."
"Never. That'll never happen."
Nya sounded so sure and firm when she said it, but in reality, she wasn't even sure that this relationship she had with Zayon would last long. She thought that Jayden wouldn't even turn seven this year before Zayon left.
"That's good, that means he'll want me to play with him." Jayden smiled and ran off.
"Wait!" Nya called out, seconds after the right time. Jayden was opening the door and stepping in.

Jayden came back to the hallway with red cheeks with tears streaming down them and glossy eyes that were so red, if there wasn't tears on his cheeks, it would've looked like he was high. His mommy was no where to be found, so Jayden started to cry even more. All he wanted now was his mother. He looked inside the lavish and gold-hinted bathroom in the hallway, and in that bathroom, he saw his reflection. Jayden didn't like this person he saw in the mirror. He thought he looked like a monster.
𝘔𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦. 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘐'𝘮 𝘤𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨. Jayden forced a smile, but his smile turned to a frown as his expression changed from smiley to frustrated. 𝘖𝘩 𝘯𝘰, 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦! 𝘔𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦! 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘦... Jayden thought. 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘳. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘺'𝘴 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦! 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦!
Jayden decided that he'd continue his relationship with his mother. Just then, the door opened and Jayden saw his mother in the reflection.
"Jayden?! What happened to you?"
Jayden started to tear up because his mother was here. Even though he knew she was trying to help him, the waterworks were still going strong.
"Um, could we talk in your room, Mommy?" He requested in a shameful and crackly voice.
"Of course, bubba, of course." Mommy said in a sugary tone, ushering Jayden out of the bathroom. "Right after I go pee, ok?" She added.
"Oh, ok..." Jayden agreed. Jayden rocked back and fourth from his toes to his heels wondering how to tell his mother what just happened.
𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘔𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥? He inquired worriedly. He had went against what his mother had told him to do, and he didn't like the consequence. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 '𝘐 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯' 𝘰𝘳 '𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥'𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦'? Jay thought with more tears rolling down his cheeks. Then his eyes went big with a terrible thought. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘋𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦?? Jayden started to cry even more.
Tears started streaming down his face to the floor at such as speed, it was as if the tears were pretending to be race cars racing to a finish line. Jayden watched as his tears fell to their death as they went 𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵! on the floor. The remaining droplets of tears just stood there with the light shining on them. Jayden swiftly swiped his foot across the floor, destroying the droplets and smushing them, making a thin river across the floor, soon to be evaporated. Just then, a toilet flush could be heard. Jayden perked his head up. His mommy was finally finishing up in the bathroom. Running water was also heard for about twenty seconds. Then there was a few seconds without sound. Suddenly, the door opened.
"Mommy!" Jayden cried. He rushed into his mother's arms. Nya picked up her son and held him tightly in the air.
"Hey, bubba."
"Can we go to your room now?" Jayden asked softly.
"Of course, darling."
Jayden felt himself go up and down as they made their way to his mommy's room. Soon enough, Jayden felt himself carefully being placed down on a beautiful bed. The head of this bed had a golden male lion in mid-roar, with two golden female lions on both sides of the male lion. The bed sheet had a neat pattern of Nya's favorite flower, a Forget-Me-Not, drawn on it. The pillows had the same design. This bed was a gift from Zayon; but Nya wanted Zayon's love and affection more.
"So, what happened?"
Jayden looked around uncomfortably. He wasn't sure what the reaction of his mother would be, or if he would even like it. He glanced at the male lion, stuck with his jaw open for eternity. Poor thing.
"Um, so basically what happened is..."
