Looking over at amity I pull dad's jacket off the hook on my door, smiling gently I say slipping on my ever so childish bat slippers

"I'll be right back am.. just wanna find out something"

Heading downstairs I cringe at maya and vee's lovey dovey ever so innocent whispering behind vee's bedroom door, making my way down the stairs I knock on mom's door finding out quickly that she's in the living room, sitting next to mom I ask quietly

"Mom..can you fix this..? Please-"

Showing her the cut in the back she look at me angrily, I look down sadly

"This girl at school- I kinda revealed to her that everyone knows she likes to steal and the like, and when I went upstairs to go chill She's just SITTING THERE a smile plastered on her face as I suddenly see she ruined his jacket.."

Wiping away the forming tear I bury my face in my arms, I hear her sigh and after awhile she says trying to seem annoyed

"I'll fix it.. but I won't enjoy fixing the jacket of a chea-"

I instantly interrupt her finally taking enough of the 'OH dad's a CHEATER' line of crap, standing up I say firmly

"Don't you dare call him a cheater mom- WE both know that he didn't. You just say that to make up some... some- COVER STORY to hide that he's been missing"

Holding my hands in fists beside me I try to keep the tears from falling, bringing my hands to my face I pull them back wet looking at mom I say firmly but shaking

"He's not... you know he's not.."

Turning around to walk off She grabs my hand, looking at her I frown

"How did you know..?"

Sitting back down I say quietly my eyes looking into moms saddened eyes,

"Saying something can be convincing... but- ever since I was a kid no matter how dense minded I was.. I could see the truth within your eyes- I cannot see every inch of the truth.. but I saw part of it"

Mom looks at me my eyes looking at me seeing she can't steer my train of thought wrong, sighing gently she pats the jacket like it's a very old memory.. and in some cases.. it is.

"I'll fix it.. I know just how much you love your father mi hija.. so I'll see if I can just stitch it back up or if I need to patch it underneath"

Smiling gently I nod, turning around I head back to the stairs perfectly fine with any end result.. as long as it's fixed. Looking around the room I jump when I hear amity say gently

"Hey love.. did you get successful in your task?"

Joining her on my bed I side hug her and put on a Netflix show called 'grey's anatomy' mom likes it but I haven't seen it yet, kissing her neck I mumble sweet nothings causing her to giggle. I suddenly think aloud

"I left our lettermans in the garage- whoops said that out loud-"

Turning around she rests her chin ontop my chest, smiling gently she says quietly

"Let's go get them.. as much as I love this show already.. I love wearing your name already"

Raising an eyebrow to the carefully chosen words my eyes study hers, blushing heavily I blink swiftly trying to comprehend what I just realized she said but finally tease

"Did you just propose to me?? You are so non-traditional am~"

She laughs lovingly into my shoulder, looking up she says softly
