Jay smiled as she snuggled against his chest. "I was a very confused teenager. You have to understand that. I'm different now." I'm not confused anymore, that is... "Sure thing. I'll see you in a couple hours."
[A couple of Hours later....]
Jay stood outside the Salon, waiting, just as he had promised Cass. TOO easy...Now, it's only a matter of time.

Cass smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "See you in a bit." And she raced inside to work. People bombarded her with questions.
(A Couple hours later)
"Whew. Busy busy. You ready?" She asked as she walked up to Jay. "I don't live that far." She linked her arm with his as she led the way.

Jay nodded as their arms linked together and they started walking. It reminded him of old times, like when they really were in love. Jay shook off those memories. This time, it was strictly for a reason, and sadly, love had nothing to do with it.
Ty wasn't at home. He knew Cass was pulling two jobs, and decided to go job hunting while she was at work. He knew with just a high school diploma, there wasn't much choice, but for his Mom, he'd take whatever he could get.

Soon Cass and Jay got to her house, and she saw at the moment Ty wasn't home. She turned to him. "Well, here we are. This is my lovely home." She sounded a bit sarcastic but she still smiled.
"I'd let you in but I think Ty may be coming home soon, and I don't think it'd be a good idea right now for you two to meet." She remembered what Ty had told her when she had had that horrible nightmare...

"Right. I wouldn't want to cause problems with your son," he said with a convincing tone of fake consideration. He looked on the door and saw something taped to it. He pulled the piece of paper off and read it aloud: Mom, Went out. Be back at around 7. With love, Ty "I think we have time," Jay said with a smile, walking her inside.

Cass listened to Jay for a minute and then nodded. "Okay, so we do have time. Want to come in?" With that she came inside and said, "It's not much, but it's better than what I had to live in when we first met."
She walked into the kitchen and asked, "Do you want something to drink?" She looked over at him, her blue eyes twinkling.

Jay looked around. "Well, I don't have much of anywhere to stay right now," he said looking down. "Well, if I can find my friend, he'll hook me up with a place to stay, so no worries there."
He sat down on the couch. "Drink? No thanks, I'm alright." Jay was running out of things to say, so he added, "How's our son, by the way?" He almost choked up on the word our, but played it off nicely.

Cass looked at Jay with concern on her face. "Place to stay? I'd offer, but again, Ty..." She shrugged. "He kinda knows...what happened to us before." She grabbed a soda of her own and closed the door.
Sitting next to him on the couch she looked at him. "He's good. He looks a lot like you. Acts a lot like you, too. You know, before you decided to...yeah. He has my eyes and smile though. I've been noticing a lot more." She smiled at him.

Jay nodded. "I understand," he said. "But like I said, I'll have something worked out. Everything'll be fine."
He smiled a fake smile at Cass's description of Ty. "Sounds like a cool kid. Like me, only with a beautiful smile and eyes." He then leaned in and kissed her passionately, wrapping his arms around her.
Ty had given up on job-hunting. He'd filled out application after application, but there was no guarantee, and to top it all off, he was dog-tired. He made his way home, and dragged inside. His mouth fell open when he saw Cass on the couch kissing some guy. "What the hell, Mom?"

Cass smiled. "That's good. Glad you'll have it all figured out." She heard what he told her and she was surprised until she was getting kissed. She returned the kiss and wrapped her own arms around him.
What the hell, Mom? Her eyes shot open and she pulled away from Jay. "Tyler?! I-I thought you would be home at seven?!" She stared at him in disbelief and thought, Shit... "Um, Ty, this is Jay; Jay, this is Ty." She hoped Ty didn't realize that Jay was his father.

Jay jumped when he heard Ty's voice. "Oh, I take it this is our son?" Jay said, hopping up and extending his hand. "Nice to finally meet ya."
Ty ignored Jay's outstretched hand. "That's my father?!? I can't believe this! I...I just don't believe it...it's..." Ty let out an angry sigh. "You CAN'T be serious. Mom...Tell me you're joking...." Ty's bright blue eyes were pleading as tears started to well up and his face flushed.
Jay just stood speechless, eyes swapping from Ty to Cass.

Cass stood frozen to the spot when Jay jumped up and wanted to shake Ty's hand. She bit her lip and looked at Ty with a hurt expression. "I didn't expect it to happen, honey. We just ran into each other and I could tell that he's changed...he's changed a lot. Please..." It seemed like she was begging.
She wasn't sure what caused her to do what she did next, but Cass turned to Jay and said a bit harsh, "Not our son, Jay. My son. I took care of him without you, all these years...he may be biologically your son, but he isn't really....not yet..." She felt tears of her own wanting to fall because she knew she may lose Ty's trust over this.

Jay nodded. "I understand. Look, I was messed up. I know that. But I wanna make things right."
"I understand, Mom. I just don't agree with this, is all. I mean, you can't know a person has changed just by spending one day with them. Fronts are easy to put up. Maybe I'll feel better about this but, it's gonna take some time."
"You just need to be more trusting, and not cling to her so much..."
"NEVER SAY THAT! MOM IS ALL I HAVE BECAUSE YOU HAD TO BE A BASTARD! AND NOW YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST WALTZ IN AND TRY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT???" Ty's voice went from a yell, to a tone of cold bitterness. "We've lived 18 years without you. And frankly, I could've gone the rest of my life without meeting you...."

Cass heard the words coming from both Jay and Ty were saying and had her thoughts of what she would say, but she felt a little woozy just then. She didn't show it, though. When Jay mentioned the word cling, she inwardly pouted, But I like the clingy. Then Ty yelled at him and went to cold bitterness.
To say the least, Cass was shocked. She was about to say something, but all she got out was "T-Tyler..." before she felt her knees buckle and the ground come rushing at her head, before blackness engulfed her.

"MOM!" Ty yelled, rushing over and catching his mom as she fell face first. He picked her up and lay her down on the couch, his face showing sorrow. He looked at Jay with a cold stare. "I think you'd better leave for now, Jay...." he said harshly.
Jay looked at Ty with a similar stare. "Oh, I will, but I'll be back. You need to learn to get that chip off of your shoulders, forgive and forget...." Jay said coldly before disappearing out the door.
