I turned on my radio kind of loud and jumped on the bed. Todd smiled and layed down next to me. "Turn down that music!" I heard my Mom shout. I quickly got up and turned it down. "Sorry!" I said laughing.
1:49 PM Christina said... "We'll just be quiet." Todd said, and layed down on the bed. I locked my door, then layed down next to him. "So. Pursuade me about your first topic. Ally should have sex with you." I whispered, and kissed him. "Because I would rock Ally's world." He said, and pulled me ontop of him. "Is that so?" I giggled.
2:05 PM Sarah said... "Yes. But you already know that, so I don't need to tell you." He whispered. "Or. . ." "What?" I asked. "You could let your perv mouth go to town. . . down town." He said. "Todd!" I shouted. He laughed. "Damn." "You're a dork. I'm not doing that." I said laughing. "Have you ever?" He asked. "Once." I said. "Who?" He asked. "None of your business." I said. "Alex?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and I could tell I was blushing. "I said none of your business." He laughed. "Wow, in his office?" "Shut up." I said hitting him. "Did you not like it or something?" He asked. "I'm not doing it." I said giggling. "Please?" He asked. I sighed. "Todd."
2:11 PM Christina said... "Can't blame a guy for trying." He said, and smiled. I laughed at him. "Maybe another time. Right now, I'm not in a giving mood." I said. "Well, another time it is then." He said, and started kissing me. We undressed and started having sex. There was a knock on my door. "Just a minute!" I shouted. "I'll be in my room." I heard Tim shout. "Oops." I whispered to Todd. He rolled over, and climbed on top of me. We finished, and both got dressed really fast. "I better go." Todd said, gathering up his stuff. He put his backpack on, and kissed me. I walked him to the door, then went to Tim's room to see what he wanted.
2:28 PM Sarah said... "Hey." I whispered cracking the door open a little. He walked over to the door. "Who's Mary Winter?" He whispered. "Huh?" I asked confused. "Come here." He said quietly. I followed him to the living room. "Some lady named Mary Winter keeps calling for Dad." He said. "Is she from work or something?" I asked. "I have no idea who she is." He said. "He lets me take his cell phone to work a lot incase Ariana needs to get ahold of me. That lady calls a lot and she left a message tonight thanking him for last night." "You don't think Dad is cheating on Mom do you?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders. "Did I ever tell you the main reason my Mom and him broke up?" He asked. "No." I said. "He was cheating on my Mom." He said. "What? Oh my god." I said. "So, this Mary lady is worrying me." He said.
2:37 PM Christina said... "You don't think he would again though? They seem happy." I said. Tim shrugged. "What should we do?" I asked him. "I don't know. I don't want to accuse him of something he isn't doing. But I couldn't stand to see him treat your mom like that if he is doing something." Tim said. "What's with all the whispering?" Christopher asked walking into the living room. Tim and I both jumped. "Nothing." Tim said.
2:52 PM Sarah said... Tim and I went back to bed. When I woke up the next morning, I went to the kitchen. My Dad was in there pouring himself some coffee. "Good Morning." He said smiling. "Mornin." I said sitting down at the table. Tim walked into the kitchen and put my Dads phone in my face. It was a text message that said, "See ya tonight! Can't wait!" "Dad." Tim said. He turned around. "Good Morning." Dad said to him. "Who's Mary Winter?" Tim asked. Dad just looked at him. "She calls you a lot." Tim said. "She's. . . I know her from." Dad said. "She's from work." Tim gave him a look like he didn't beleive him. Dad looked at me. "If she is just someone from work, then why does she call you a lot. And why are you meeting her tonight at six?" Tim asked. "Give me that!" Dad said sounding mad as he wripped the cell phone out of Tim's hand. "Dad." Tim said. He looked at me and then Tim. "It's nothing you need to worry about." He told Tim. "Or you." He said looking at me. "Good Morning." Mom said smiling as she walked into the kitchen.
3:09 PM Christina said... "Morning Sweetheart." Daid said and walked over and gaver her a kiss. Tim stormed out of the house. We heard his car door slam, and then heard him drive off. "What was that about?" Mom asked. "Nothing." He said. "Oh. What do we all want for breakfast?" She asked. "I'm not hungry." I said, getting up and walking to my room.
3:14 PM Sarah said... I layed down on my bed and started crying. I called Todd, but he didn't answer. I figured he was still sleeping. I tried calling Tristin, but she didn't answer either. I didn't know who to call. I ended up calling Alex and he answered, but he sounded half asleep. "I need someone to talk to." I said. "Are you okay? Did something happen?" He asked. "Can you come pick me up?" I asked. "Um, in like a half hour. Is that okay? I need a shower." He said. "Can you come now?" I asked. "I don't want to be here. I'm at my parents." "I guess." He said. "Be right then." I hung up the phone. I put some clothes and make up in my tote bag and walked outside to wait for Alex. It took him about twenty minutes to get there. I got in his car and started crying again when he asked me what was going on.
3:28 PM Christina said... I didn't say anything until we got to his place and went back to his room. "Ally? Are you going to tell me what this about?" He asked, sitting next to me on the bed. I told him about my dad. "Hey. It could be that. It could be something else." He said. "Yeah right! And you I never fucked." I said. "Whoa! Ally!" He said. "Sorry. I'm just upset." I told him, and started crying again.
3:37 PM Sarah said... He hugged me. "I'm sorry. I couldn't get ahold of Tristin or Todd." I said. "You know I'm always here for you." He said. "Any time you need me." I pulled away from him and smiled. "Thank you." I said.
3:45 PM Christina said... "I want you to know what we had was important to me Abby. I still care about you. Don't ever think I just wanted sex." He said. "I know." I told him. "Just making sure." He said, and hugged me. I'm going to take a shower now. Your welcome to watch TV or something while I'm in there." He said, and stood up to walk to the bathroom. "Alex." I said. "Yeah?" He asked and turned around.
3:58 PM Sarah said... I walked over to him. "Got an extra towel?" I asked. He smiled and gave me a hug. "Oh, Ally, Ally, Ally." He said. I giggled. He leaned down and started kissing me. "I've got plenty of towels." He said. He kissed me the whole way to the bathroom and shut the door.
4:14 PM Christina said... He started the shower and I undressed, and climbed in. He climbed in after me, and put his arms around me. "Miss me?" I asked. "You have no idea." He said, and leaned down and kissed me. "I missed you too." I said, stopping and looking at him. He smiled and splashed my face with the water. "Hey!" I said, rubbing water out of my eyes. He was laughing.
4:31 PM Sarah said... "That wasn't very nice of you." I said giggling. "Don't worry about your parents." He said. "No matter what happens, everything will work out. If he's really cheating on her, she deserves better than that anyway." "I know. She'll just be really hurt and I'll feel horrible." I said. "Sorry. Not the best time to bring it up." He said smiling. "It's okay." I said.
4:44 PM Christina said... "I know how you can make it up to me." I said. "How is that?" He asked. I pulled him close to me and kissed him. "How about we get cleaned up, then take this to the bed?" He asked. I giggled. "Okay." I said. We finished up in the shower then climbed out and dried off. He tied the towel around his waist, then picked me up and carried me to his room.
6:55 PM Sarah said... He threw me on the bed and my towel flew off. I started laughing. He took off his towel and climbed on top of me. I put my hand on the back of his neck and kissed him. We had sex and it was the best sexual experience I'd ever had. "I hate to. . . fuck and run, but I should get home." I said. "Fuck and run?" He asked. "Wow, never heard you talk like that before." I laughed. "Thank you for this. I REALLY needed it. I feel so much better." I said. He smiled. "Any time." I put my towel back on and went to the bathroom. I got dressed, did my make up and headed back home.
7:30 PM Christina said... "There you are!" Tim said when I walked in. "What?" I asked. "I tracked down that Mary chick." He said, grabbing my arm. He pulled me into his room and shut the door. "You what? Are you crazy? How did you even figure out who she was?" I asked. "I'm a genious remember? I can do fucking anything. Anyway, I found out she and dad had reservations for the China Tea Room." He said. "What? That place is expensive!" I said. "I know. I found out where she lives, but that just seemed like I would be taking it to far." He said. "Shit." I whispered. "I'm going to go there at six. I have to know whats going on." He said. "Tim no! What if it isn't what it looks like?" I asked. "That's what I have to find out. I won't let them see me. I'll think of something." He said.
7:53 PM Sarah said... "Timothy!" We heard my Dad shout. He opened the door. "I'd appreciate if you would knock next time." Tim said rudly. "Give me my phone." Dad said to him. "I don't have it." Tim said. "Yes you do." Dad said frustrated. "Tell me who the fuck she is then!" Tim shouted throwing the phone at him. It hit him in the knee. Dad just stood there staring at him. He looked so angry. "Stop trying to be Mr. Spy." Dad said pointing at him. "And if you throw something at me like that again, I'll break your legs." "Dad." Tim said. "We're adults. We all make mistakes. We just want to know the truth." Dad's eyes started to tear up. I started crying. Dad walked in and closed the door. "Don't mention any of this to Christopher." Dad said. "Yes. I made a few mistakes. . ." I stood up. "If you don't tell Mom, I WILL!" I shouted. "Ally, calm down." Dad said trying to hug me. I pushed him away from me. "You are a coward!" I yelled. I ran to my bedroom crying. I slammed the door shut. "What is going on here?" I heard Mom shout. I opened my door. "TELL HER!" I screamed. Christopher came running down the hall to us. "Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on here?" Mom asked. She was shaking. I gave her a hug. "Sweetie, what's the matter?" She asked rubbing my back. "Dad." Tim said. "Baby, let's talk." Dad said to Mom. I let go of her. Mom started crying. "Did Grams die?" She asked. "No, baby." Dad said. He led her to their bedroom and shut the door. "We better get out of here for a while." Tim said. "Come, get your coats." Christopher and I grabbed our coats. We went outside and got in Tim's truck. "I am so confused right now. Can someone explain to me what is going on?" Christopher asked.
8:06 PM Christina said... "Shit. Ariana and Aubry are asleep inside." Tim said. "What the FUCK is going on?" Christopher shouted. Tim and I both looked at each other, then at him. "We found out Dad..." He took a deep breath. I looked at him and he had a tears in his eyes. "Dad should have to tell him." I said, angrily.
9:19 PM Sarah said... This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
9:41 PM Sarah said... "Dad's been cheating on Mom." Tim said. "What?" Christopher asked. "It's true." Tim said. "What an idiot." Christopher said. We drove to the store and got sandwiches to take to the park. "Ariana and the baby were up all night. They'll be out for a while." Tim said. "We can go back in about an hour." We went to the park and sat down in the grass while we ate. We went on the swings for a while and talked about old times. It put us all in a better mood. When an hour passed, we went back home. We walked in quietly. I looked over as I was approaching the kitchen. Mom was sitting at the head of the kitchen table crying. "Mom." I said starting to cry. I walked over to her and hugged her. Tim walked into the kitchen and Christopher followed. We all stood there not saying anything for a while. "Here." Tim said handing her a cup of hot tea. "Thank you." She said clearing her throat. There was a knock at the door. Christopher walked over to open it. Just then, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Krista walked into the kitchen. They were my Mom's older sisters. I figured Mom had called them. Ariana walked into the kitchen with Aubry. She had bags in her hands. "We're going to stay at my Aunt's tonight." She told Tim. "Did you guys have a place to go?" Ariana asked Christopher and I. "Yeah. I'll stay with my friend Tristin." I said. Christopher nodded. "I'll go to my friend Greg's." He answered. "We'll drop you off." Ariana told him. "I'll go pack." Christopher said. Tim took Aubry for Ariana and she set the bags down. She gave me a hug. She handed me a peice of paper. "That's the number to my Aunts house, so call us if you need us. Okay?" She said. "Thank you." I said. I looked at my Mom and her sisters were just huddled around her hugging her as she cried harder. Tim gave me a hug and Christopher walked in the room with a bag. Ariana grabbed her bags and they all left. I walked over and gave my Mom a hug. "I love you." I said starting to cry again. She didn't say anything. Aunt Krista hugged me. "She'll be okay, sweetheart." She said to me. I smiled and went to my bedroom. I wasn't sure where I wanted to go. I packed up some things as I thought about it. I could always go back to my dorm too, but I didn't feel like being alone.
9:46 PM Christina said... I called Tristin, but it went to voicemail. I figured she was probably spending the weekend with Brian. I walked out with my stuff, and packed up my car. I walked back in to say goodbye to my mom. I saw her sitting there again, and started crying. "Aunt Lucy? Can I talk to you?" I asked her. "Yeah." She stood up and walked into the living room with me. "She okay?" I asked. "No. She will be." Aunt Lucy said, hugging me. "Where is...Where is my dad?" I asked her. "I don't know. When your mom called she was all choked up. She said something about an apartment." She said. I started crying even harder.
10:01 PM Sarah said... "Is it terrible that I want to see him?" I asked. "No sweetie, not at all." She said. "I'm sure he's hurting too." I said. "I'm sure he is." She said giving me another hug. "I'm sure he is." She said again. "Maybe I'll call him tomorrow." I said. "I think that's a good idea." She said smiling. I walked out to my car and got in. I waited until I stopped crying and pulled away. I still wasn't sure where I wanted to go. I drove for a few minutes and probably made the worst turn possible. I turned into Matt's neighborhood. I parked in front of his apartment. I debated whether or not to go in. I started thinking about Todd, but all I wanted to do was get high. I couldn't decide what to do. I started crying again and was able to stop after a few minutes. I picked up my phone and scrolled down my phone book to Todd's number. I looked up at Matt's door and back at the phone.
10:10 PM Christina said... Matts Door opened, and I freaked out, and dropped my phone. He was walking out with his head down looking at his keys. He looked up and saw me. "Ally?" I heard him shout. He walked over to my side of the car and I rolled down the window. "What are you doing here? Are you pregnant?" He asked. "NO! I didn't know where to go. Sorry, I'll leave." I said, and started my car. "Whats wrong?" He asked. He looked mad. "My mom and dad split up." I said. "I'm sorry. What do you want me to do about it?" He asked. "Nothing!" I shouted. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here." "Why did you come here? To get high? To mess with my feelings? What?" He asked. I didn't say anything. "Thats what I thought. Perfect little girls perfect little family splits up and her whole world falls apart." He said. "SHUT UP!" I shouted. I put my car in reverse and pulled out. I drove away crying. I dug around the floor for my phone to call Todd. I wasn't paying attention, and looked up when I heard a car honk. I swerved just in time to miss the oncoming car. My car skidded and came to a stop on the side of the road. I was shaking, and crying. I looked around and that car had been the only other car on the road. I didn't see them anymore, so I figured they drove off. I just sat in my car crying. A few minutes later I calmed down, found my phone and called Todd.
10:20 PM Sarah said... He answered the phone, but I couldn't talk. "Ally?" He asked. "Ally?!" "I need you." I said. "Ally, you are scaring the shit out of me. Where the hell are you?" He asked. "I'm coming over." I said. "I'm at my dorm." He said. "Okay." I said and hung up. He called me back right away. "Let me come get you." He said. "I'm only a block away." I said. "Okay." He said. "Call me when you get here and I'll let you in." I hung up the phone and drove to the school. I parked right by his dorms and called him. He came walking up quickly. I opened my the door and grabbed my bags. He hugged me tightly. "My Dad cheated on my Mom." I said crying. He didn't say anything at first. "All that matters it that they both love you unconditionally." He said. "And you know they do." He took my bag out of my hand and put his arm around me. He snuck me in the the door on the side of the building that lead to a stairwell. We went to his room and walked in. He closed the door and locked it.
10:32 PM Christina said... I layed down on his bed and kept crying. He put his arms around me and hugged me. "Ally." He said after a few minutes. "Yeah?" I asked. "Want to hear a secret?" He asked. "What?" "When I get upset there is something I always play." He said, standing up. He pulled a CD out of a case and put it in his computer. "What is it?" I asked. "You'll see." He said, and hit play. I Will Survive came on. I started laughing. He picked up a comb that was sitting by the keyboard and started to sing into it. "At first I was afraid......I was petrified..." He sang. I started laughing so hard. He kept moving in slow motion and he had this look on his face lie he was really into it. "Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side; But then I spent so many nights Thinkin' how you did me wrong And I grew strong" He continued singing. He pulled me off the bed, and turned up the speakers, then started dancing around me.
10:48 PM Sarah said... "You are such a dork!" I said laughing. He put the comb up to my mouth. I laughed and started singing with him. He hugged me. "Glad I could make you smile." He said. "You can always make me smile." I said. He turned down the music and put his arms around me. He started kissing me and pulled my shirt off over my head.
10:53 PM Christina said... "Oh, sorry." He said. I smiled. "It's okay." I told him, and kissed him. We went over to his bed and had sex. I just layed there in his arms afterwards. "I don't want to ever leave. I just want to stay here forever and the whole world to disapear." I told him. "Shhh. Don't say that." He said. "I mean it." I told him. "We can't stay here like this forever." He said. "Why not?" I asked. "Eventually we'll stink. Showers are not overated." He said, and I started laughing. "I love you Todd. Your a good guy." I said, and yawned.
11:00 PM Sarah said... "And I love you." He said. I got up and grabbed the comb off the floor. I walked over to the computer and turned, I Will Survive on again. "Dancing naked for me?" He asked. I laughed and started singing along. "Well, don't think I'm joining you. . ." He said laughing.
8:02 AM Christina said... "Please?" I asked, making a pouty face. "NO!" He said laughing. "Come on. I'll love you more and more." I said. "No!" He said. "Okay, fine." I sighed and turned off the music. "Okay, okay! But there are some other classic songs on that CD." He said, standing up.
8:32 AM Sarah said... He walked over to the computer, clicked the mouse a few times and YMCA started blaring through the speakers. I laughed and he smiled. "Dance!" He said.
9:12 AM Christina said... I tried to dance to it, but I could stop laughing. He walked over and hugged me, laughing. "I have to pee." I said. "Nice. Thanks for sharing." He said. "Shut up! I don't know where your bathrooms are." I told him. "Get dressed, I'll show you." He said. We both got dressed and he held my hand and walked me to the bathroom. He peeked his head in and looked around. "All clear. Go ahead, I'll stand guard outside." He said, and I laughed.
10:26 AM Sarah said... I went to the bathroom, then we ran back to his room. "Let's play chess." He said pulling the game out from under his bed. We layed on the floor and he set up the board.
11:07 AM Christina said... We played one game and I just barely won. "You suck, I rock, lets fuck." I said. "Excuse me?" Todd asked. I started laughing. "I'm just goofy right now. You really helped cheer me up." I told him. "I'm glad. I don't like seeing you upset." He said.

11:54 AM Sarah said... This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
11:56 AM Sarah said... He shoved the game under the bed. "You should put the peices and stuff in the box instead of just shoving it all under your bed." I said laughing. "It's not a big deal." He said. "You dork." I said puting all the peices back in the box. "What now?" He asked. "I don't know." I said. "I brought one of my books if you don't mind me reading for a while." "No problemo, lady." He said. I smiled and got my book. I layed down on the bed and started reading. He got on the computer and started playing a game. I read for a few hours and we decided to go get something to eat. We went to McDonalds and rented a couple of movies to watch. We just layed in bed the rest of the day relaxing. When it hit 8:00, we were both tired, so we decided to just go to bed.
I woke up early the next morning to my phone ringing. I picked it up and answered it. "Honey, it's Mom." "Hey." I said softly as I sat up. "We have a meeting with a family councelor at ten. Do you think you can be home by then, so we can all drive together?" She asked. "Yeah." I said. "Good." She said. "Who's going to be there?" I asked, not wanting to specifically ask if my Dad was going to be there. "Christopher, Tim, you, me and Dad." She said. "Your father and I are also going through marriage councling." "Okay." I said. "But, we're going to go to the family councelor together for a month." She said. "Longer if needed." "Okay." I said. "Your Aunts helped me a lot last night and helped me figured out what we should do about this." She said. "They helped me sign up with the councelor." She explained. "I'll be home soon." I said. "Okay, honey. Everyone should be here by nine-thirty." She said. "Alright. I love you." I said. "Love you too." She said. She sounded like she was about to start crying. "See you soon." I said. "Bye." She said and hung up. I snuck out, not wanting to wake up Todd. I left a note thanking him on a sticky note and placed it on his computer monitor. I kisses his forehead and he opened his eyes making me jump. I started laughing and he looked confused. "Okay, you're up. Help me sneak out." I said.
12:04 PM Christina said... "Okay. Where are you going?" He asked. "A counceling session with the family." I told him. "Okay. He said. I got ready in his room, and then He got up and helped me sneak out to the parking lot. "Call me later." He said. "I will." I told him and smiled. He kissed me, and then waved goodbye as I got in my car. When I got home,I was the last one to get there. I walked in the house and everyone was ready and sitting on the couch. "Let's go. Tim, can you drive?" My mom asked. "Yeah, mom." He said. "Where is dad?" I whispered to Chritopher on our way out the door. "He is meeting us there." He said. "How are you?" I asked him. He just shrugged and walked outside. I locked the door behind me with my key.
12:40 PM Sarah said... We got in Tims truck and drove to the place. When we walked into the office, Dad was sitting down in the waiting room. He stood up. "They're ready for us." He said. We all walked into another room and sat down. There was a lady in there. She smiled at us. "Christopher?" She asked smiling. He nodded. "I'm going to start with you. Is that okay?" She asked. "Sure." He said. He looked nervous. "How are you feeling this morning?" She asked him. He just shrugged his shoulders. "Angry, sad, grumy?" She asked. "Angry I guess." He answered. "Can you tell us why?" She asked him. He took a deep breath. "Well, clearly, everyone thinks they need to fail to provide me with information about what is going on in the family, just because I'm the youngest." He said. "I'm old enough to handle things. I'm not twelve." "I only found out a few minutes before you did." Tim said. "But you and Ally were suspecting it before you found out for sure." He said. "What?" Mom asked. "Let Christopher finish." The lady said. "I'm done." He said. "Okay. Allison." She said looking at me. "How are you feeling this morning? What's on your mind?"
1:00 PM Christina said... "I feel like I'd rather be somewhere else." I said. "Like where?" She asked. I looked at Tim, and he nodded. I think we both wanted to be smoking pot. "Not here." I told her. "Are you angry?" She asked. "Yeah. I'm angry." I said, getting snippy. I didn't mean to be, I just felt awkward talking about this with my family there. "Why are you angry?" She asked. "I feel betrayed, I guess." I told her. "Why is that?" She asked. "Enough with the stupid questions! You have a horible aproach to therapy!" I told her. "You have a better one?" She asked. I just sighed. "Sorry, that was another question, wasn't it?" She asked. Tim laughed when she said that. "Yes, I do know a better one. I know a few. I just finished helping my professor prepare a seminar and therapudic psychology was a section." I explained. "I'm sorry I'm being kind of short. I just feel a little awkward." I told her.
1:15 PM Sarah said... "Anything else you want to add?" She asked. "We're going to go over a lot today. This is just a start." "That's all I have on my mind rightnow." I said. "Tim. How about you?" She asked. "Embarassed mostly." He said. "My fiance and my daughter are staying with us right now. We talked a lot about my parents and how I really looked up to them as role models as a married couple. So, I'm really embarassed about that and the fact that she was there when my Mom found out about this. It's all just very embarassing." "Anything else?" She asked him. "I do have a question I want an answer to before I leave here today." He said looking at Dad. "We'll move onto that. Let's finish this first." She said. Tim nodded. "That's it for me then." He said. "Okay, Mom." The lady said. "I'm mostly just sad and confused. I want to know why this happen. What I did wrong." She replied. "You didn't do anything wrong." Dad said. "Tell us how you are feeling?" She asked Dad. "Probably any bad feeling that exists combined in one." He said. "Okay." She said rumaging through some papers.
1:25 PM Christina said... "How long has this been going on?" Christopher asked. "We'll talk about that later." She said. "No, I want to talk about that now." he said. "I want to know too." My mom said. "With Mary, about six months." My dad said. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his finger and thumb. He always did that when he was stressed out. "Wait, WITH Mary? Dad...How many more were there?" I asked. "I'd feel more comfortable discussing this with your mother first." He said. "I don't believe this." Christopher said. "We'll go over all this in more detail in one of the later sessions. There was another subject that your mother wanted to go over. What I want to do is lay out all the issues on the table. One of the other ones is drug use." She said. "Well, that takes care of where I'd rather be." Tim said. He said it just to make dad mad.
2:18 PM Sarah said... "I don't think discussing that is necesary." I said. "I'm an adult. I'm no longer living at the house. I'm doing very good in school. I think my personal life should be able to be kept private." "Christopher is still in high school." Mom said. "Then you can discuss his problem with him privatly." I said. "What?" Christopher asked. "I've never even tried ANY drugs before!" "Are you having unprotected sex?" The lady asked him. "No!" He shouted. "We're not here to talk about sex and drugs. We've all been through those courses in high school." Tim said.
2:57 PM Christina said... "I thought we were here to talk about mom and dad. I seriously doubt drugs or sex on our part is the cause of Dad fucking around." I said. "Allison!" My dad said sternly. "I also don't think it is fair to assume Christopher is doing anything just because Tim and I have." I added. "Allison, watch your mouth." My dad said. "Dad, watch your-" I started to say. "Allison. Please." My mom said. "Sorry mom." I said. "Tim, Allison, you are both right. The main reason we are here is to discuss your mom and dad. But it is also to discuss the whole family and any other issues. I just wanted to get all the issues out." She said. "Now, drugs and sexual activity were two of the other issures that your mother and father wanted to bring up." I sighed. She was really getting on my nerves. Her whole approach was completely wrong. I wanted to go to my dorm and bring back all the books I had and shove them in her face. "May I continue?" She asked everyone. "Yes." Tim, Christopher, and I all answered.
3:05 PM Sarah said... "I want to know who was smoking weed in my house." Dad said. "I find it very disrespectful." "You find THAT disrespectful?" I asked. "Allison." Mom said. "We want to know the truth." Mom said to us. Tim looked down and put his hand up. "So, we invite you back into our home and this is how you repay us?" Dad asked. Tim stood up. "We did not come here to talk about me!!" He shouted. "Timothy, sit!" Dad shouted. "When are we going to talk about your problem?" Tim asked him. The lady stood up. "We are not here to discuss the personal and private issues between your Mother and Father." She said. "We are here to go over any other things going on with the family and to help you kids cope with what is going on right now." "I'm not a kid." Tim said sitting back down.
3:15 PM Christina said... "I know that." She said. "Then stop acting like we are!" I said. "What other drugs have you done?" She asked me. "Start naming off drugs." I told her. "Well, we already know pot was one. Extacy?" "Yes." "Shrooms?" "Yes." "Heroin?" "Yes." I sighed. My mom gasped. She named off a few more, and I had tried those too. There was only two or three that I said no to. "And what about you?" She asked Tim. "D. All of the Above." He said. "Christopher?" She asked. "I told you I havn't done ANY!" He shouted.
3:20 PM Sarah said... "Oh I forgot to tell you I sniffed Cocaine too." I said. "Oh and I took Speed." "We can't do this if your daughter and sons aren't going to cooperate." The lady said. "Do you want this family to be normal?" Mom asked. "What family IS normal, Mom?" I asked. "I started sniffing glue too. Forgot about that." Tim said. Mom started crying. "I thought this was going to help and it's only making things worse." She said. Tim put his arm around her. "I'm sorry. We'll cooperate, but don't be surprised if you hear things you don't want to hear." Tim said. "I'll be totally honest with everyone." "Thank you." Mom said wiping her eyes. "I've tried shrooms and I've tried pot. Nothing else. I only tried shrooms like three times and it sucked every time. I admit I enjoy pot." He said. "And I will probably continue to do it." "I tried shrooms once and heroin once." I said. "And I've smoked a lot of pot. It all started this summer though when I tried it. I've also noticed that the only time I want to smoke pot is when I am stressed or going through a rough time." "Hopefully these sessions will be able to releive a lot of that that's building up inside you." The lady said. "We'll see." I said. "Okay, sex." The lady said. I sighed. "I'll go first. Yes, I am having sex and I am ALWAYS careful." Everyone looked at Christopher. "Safe every time." He said. He looked embarassed.
3:35 PM Christina said... "Obviously yes, as I have a child." Tim said. "How many partners?" The lady asked. "Oh god. Since I was 14....I don't know. Honestly." Tim said. She looked at me. "5. All this year." I said. "1." Christopher said. "How many have you been with, Dad?" Christopher asked. "This is REDICULOUS! We are all ADULTS here! Christopher is only weeks away from turning 18! NONE of this matters! I'm giving you one more chance and then I'm walking out." I told the lady. "Ally!" My mom said. "I can give a ton of other therapist names we could go too. Alex knows so many people." I said. "Who is Alex?" The lady asked.
3:52 PM Sarah said... "A college Professor I had a class with last semester." I said. "Okay." The lady said. "Maybe that's not the best place to get a recomendation." "Excuse me?" I asked. "He is very smart." "He was YOUR professor?" Dad asked. I smiled. "Yes." I could tell that really upset him, which made me happy. Then I started freaking out inside. My Dad could easily go get him fired, especially since the school suspected something. "Is there something I don't know?" The lady asked. Dad sat up straight in his seat. "No." Dad said. "Go on." "Glady." She said smiling. "Your turn to say what you wanted to say." She said looking at Dad. "I just wanted to apologize for everything." He said tearing up. "I love you all and I'm sorry I let you down." Mom and I started crying. "See, I'm making my girls cry. That is the last thing I want to do." He said. "Mary is no longer in my life and there was not anybody else." He explained. "I was having a tough time and I chose the wrong path to take care of it." "I love you." Mom told him. "Baby, I love you too. So much." He said. She walked over and gave him a hug. They booth stood there crying. Christopher got up and left the room.
4:05 PM Christina said... I looked at Tim. Earlier Dad made it seem like there were more women earlier in his life. It didn't add up and I was tired of being there. I was angry at my mom for not being more angry at my father. I stood up to leave. "Ally, whats bothering you?" The woman asked. "Things aren't adding up, and you're an idiot." I said. "I agree." Tim said, and stood up. "Mom, I love you, but I can't do this. Not with this woman!" I said, and walked out of the room. Tim followed me. We found Christopher sitting outside in the grass smoking.

I turned on my radio kind of loud and jumped on the bed. Todd smiled and layed down next to me.
"Turn down that music!" I heard my Mom shout. I quickly got up and turned it down. "Sorry!" I said laughing.
1:49 PM
Christina said...
"We'll just be quiet." Todd said, and layed down on the bed. I locked my door, then layed down next to him.
"So. Pursuade me about your first topic. Ally should have sex with you." I whispered, and kissed him.
"Because I would rock Ally's world." He said, and pulled me ontop of him.
"Is that so?" I giggled.
2:05 PM
Sarah said...
"Yes. But you already know that, so I don't need to tell you." He whispered. "Or. . ."
"What?" I asked.
"You could let your perv mouth go to town. . . down town." He said.
"Todd!" I shouted.
He laughed. "Damn."
"You're a dork. I'm not doing that." I said laughing.
"Have you ever?" He asked.
"Once." I said.
"Who?" He asked.
"None of your business." I said.
"Alex?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes and I could tell I was blushing. "I said none of your business."
He laughed. "Wow, in his office?"
"Shut up." I said hitting him.
"Did you not like it or something?" He asked.
"I'm not doing it." I said giggling.
"Please?" He asked.
I sighed. "Todd."
2:11 PM
Christina said...
"Can't blame a guy for trying." He said, and smiled. I laughed at him.
"Maybe another time. Right now, I'm not in a giving mood." I said.
"Well, another time it is then." He said, and started kissing me. We undressed and started having sex. There was a knock on my door.
"Just a minute!" I shouted.
"I'll be in my room." I heard Tim shout.
"Oops." I whispered to Todd. He rolled over, and climbed on top of me. We finished, and both got dressed really fast.
"I better go." Todd said, gathering up his stuff. He put his backpack on, and kissed me. I walked him to the door, then went to Tim's room to see what he wanted.
2:28 PM
Sarah said...
"Hey." I whispered cracking the door open a little.
He walked over to the door. "Who's Mary Winter?" He whispered.
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"Come here." He said quietly.
I followed him to the living room. "Some lady named Mary Winter keeps calling for Dad." He said.
"Is she from work or something?" I asked.
"I have no idea who she is." He said. "He lets me take his cell phone to work a lot incase Ariana needs to get ahold of me. That lady calls a lot and she left a message tonight thanking him for last night."
"You don't think Dad is cheating on Mom do you?" I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Did I ever tell you the main reason my Mom and him broke up?" He asked.
"No." I said.
"He was cheating on my Mom." He said.
"What? Oh my god." I said.
"So, this Mary lady is worrying me." He said.
2:37 PM
Christina said...
"You don't think he would again though? They seem happy." I said. Tim shrugged.
"What should we do?" I asked him.
"I don't know. I don't want to accuse him of something he isn't doing. But I couldn't stand to see him treat your mom like that if he is doing something." Tim said.
"What's with all the whispering?" Christopher asked walking into the living room.
Tim and I both jumped.
"Nothing." Tim said.
2:52 PM
Sarah said...
Tim and I went back to bed. When I woke up the next morning, I went to the kitchen. My Dad was in there pouring himself some coffee.
"Good Morning." He said smiling.
"Mornin." I said sitting down at the table. Tim walked into the kitchen and put my Dads phone in my face. It was a text message that said, "See ya tonight! Can't wait!"
"Dad." Tim said.
He turned around. "Good Morning." Dad said to him.
"Who's Mary Winter?" Tim asked.
Dad just looked at him. "She calls you a lot." Tim said.
"She's. . . I know her from." Dad said. "She's from work."
Tim gave him a look like he didn't beleive him. Dad looked at me.
"If she is just someone from work, then why does she call you a lot. And why are you meeting her tonight at six?" Tim asked.
"Give me that!" Dad said sounding mad as he wripped the cell phone out of Tim's hand.
"Dad." Tim said.
He looked at me and then Tim. "It's nothing you need to worry about." He told Tim. "Or you." He said looking at me.
"Good Morning." Mom said smiling as she walked into the kitchen.
3:09 PM
Christina said...
"Morning Sweetheart." Daid said and walked over and gaver her a kiss.
Tim stormed out of the house. We heard his car door slam, and then heard him drive off.
"What was that about?" Mom asked.
"Nothing." He said.
"Oh. What do we all want for breakfast?" She asked.
"I'm not hungry." I said, getting up and walking to my room.
3:14 PM
Sarah said...
I layed down on my bed and started crying. I called Todd, but he didn't answer. I figured he was still sleeping. I tried calling Tristin, but she didn't answer either. I didn't know who to call. I ended up calling Alex and he answered, but he sounded half asleep. "I need someone to talk to." I said.
"Are you okay? Did something happen?" He asked.
"Can you come pick me up?" I asked.
"Um, in like a half hour. Is that okay? I need a shower." He said.
"Can you come now?" I asked. "I don't want to be here. I'm at my parents."
"I guess." He said. "Be right then."
I hung up the phone. I put some clothes and make up in my tote bag and walked outside to wait for Alex. It took him about twenty minutes to get there. I got in his car and started crying again when he asked me what was going on.
3:28 PM
Christina said...
I didn't say anything until we got to his place and went back to his room.
"Ally? Are you going to tell me what this about?" He asked, sitting next to me on the bed. I told him about my dad.
"Hey. It could be that. It could be something else." He said.
"Yeah right! And you I never fucked." I said.
"Whoa! Ally!" He said.
"Sorry. I'm just upset." I told him, and started crying again.
3:37 PM
Sarah said...
He hugged me. "I'm sorry. I couldn't get ahold of Tristin or Todd." I said.
"You know I'm always here for you." He said. "Any time you need me."
I pulled away from him and smiled. "Thank you." I said.
3:45 PM
Christina said...
"I want you to know what we had was important to me Abby. I still care about you. Don't ever think I just wanted sex." He said.
"I know." I told him.
"Just making sure." He said, and hugged me.
I'm going to take a shower now. Your welcome to watch TV or something while I'm in there." He said, and stood up to walk to the bathroom.
"Alex." I said.
"Yeah?" He asked and turned around.
3:58 PM
Sarah said...
I walked over to him. "Got an extra towel?" I asked.
He smiled and gave me a hug. "Oh, Ally, Ally, Ally." He said.
I giggled.
He leaned down and started kissing me. "I've got plenty of towels." He said. He kissed me the whole way to the bathroom and shut the door.
4:14 PM
Christina said...
He started the shower and I undressed, and climbed in. He climbed in after me, and put his arms around me.
"Miss me?" I asked.
"You have no idea." He said, and leaned down and kissed me.
"I missed you too." I said, stopping and looking at him. He smiled and splashed my face with the water.
"Hey!" I said, rubbing water out of my eyes. He was laughing.
4:31 PM
Sarah said...
"That wasn't very nice of you." I said giggling.
"Don't worry about your parents." He said. "No matter what happens, everything will work out. If he's really cheating on her, she deserves better than that anyway."
"I know. She'll just be really hurt and I'll feel horrible." I said.
"Sorry. Not the best time to bring it up." He said smiling.
"It's okay." I said.
4:44 PM
Christina said...
"I know how you can make it up to me." I said.
"How is that?" He asked. I pulled him close to me and kissed him.
"How about we get cleaned up, then take this to the bed?" He asked. I giggled.
"Okay." I said. We finished up in the shower then climbed out and dried off. He tied the towel around his waist, then picked me up and carried me to his room.
6:55 PM
Sarah said...
He threw me on the bed and my towel flew off. I started laughing. He took off his towel and climbed on top of me. I put my hand on the back of his neck and kissed him. We had sex and it was the best sexual experience I'd ever had. "I hate to. . . fuck and run, but I should get home." I said.
"Fuck and run?" He asked. "Wow, never heard you talk like that before."
I laughed. "Thank you for this. I REALLY needed it. I feel so much better." I said.
He smiled. "Any time."
I put my towel back on and went to the bathroom. I got dressed, did my make up and headed back home.
7:30 PM
Christina said...
"There you are!" Tim said when I walked in.
"What?" I asked.
"I tracked down that Mary chick." He said, grabbing my arm. He pulled me into his room and shut the door.
"You what? Are you crazy? How did you even figure out who she was?" I asked.
"I'm a genious remember? I can do fucking anything. Anyway, I found out she and dad had reservations for the China Tea Room." He said.
"What? That place is expensive!" I said.
"I know. I found out where she lives, but that just seemed like I would be taking it to far." He said.
"Shit." I whispered.
"I'm going to go there at six. I have to know whats going on." He said.
"Tim no! What if it isn't what it looks like?" I asked.
"That's what I have to find out. I won't let them see me. I'll think of something." He said.
7:53 PM
Sarah said...
"Timothy!" We heard my Dad shout. He opened the door.
"I'd appreciate if you would knock next time." Tim said rudly.
"Give me my phone." Dad said to him.
"I don't have it." Tim said.
"Yes you do." Dad said frustrated.
"Tell me who the fuck she is then!" Tim shouted throwing the phone at him. It hit him in the knee. Dad just stood there staring at him. He looked so angry. "Stop trying to be Mr. Spy." Dad said pointing at him. "And if you throw something at me like that again, I'll break your legs."
"Dad." Tim said. "We're adults. We all make mistakes. We just want to know the truth."
Dad's eyes started to tear up. I started crying. Dad walked in and closed the door. "Don't mention any of this to Christopher." Dad said. "Yes. I made a few mistakes. . ."
I stood up. "If you don't tell Mom, I WILL!" I shouted.
"Ally, calm down." Dad said trying to hug me. I pushed him away from me. "You are a coward!" I yelled. I ran to my bedroom crying. I slammed the door shut.
"What is going on here?" I heard Mom shout.
I opened my door. "TELL HER!" I screamed. Christopher came running down the hall to us.
"Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on here?" Mom asked. She was shaking. I gave her a hug. "Sweetie, what's the matter?" She asked rubbing my back.
"Dad." Tim said.
"Baby, let's talk." Dad said to Mom. I let go of her. Mom started crying. "Did Grams die?" She asked.
"No, baby." Dad said. He led her to their bedroom and shut the door.
"We better get out of here for a while." Tim said. "Come, get your coats."
Christopher and I grabbed our coats. We went outside and got in Tim's truck. "I am so confused right now. Can someone explain to me what is going on?" Christopher asked.
8:06 PM
Christina said...
"Shit. Ariana and Aubry are asleep inside." Tim said.
"What the FUCK is going on?" Christopher shouted. Tim and I both looked at each other, then at him.
"We found out Dad..." He took a deep breath. I looked at him and he had a tears in his eyes.
"Dad should have to tell him." I said, angrily.

Sarah said...
"Dad's been cheating on Mom." Tim said.
"What?" Christopher asked.
"It's true." Tim said.
"What an idiot." Christopher said.
We drove to the store and got sandwiches to take to the park. "Ariana and the baby were up all night. They'll be out for a while." Tim said. "We can go back in about an hour."
We went to the park and sat down in the grass while we ate. We went on the swings for a while and talked about old times. It put us all in a better mood. When an hour passed, we went back home. We walked in quietly. I looked over as I was approaching the kitchen. Mom was sitting at the head of the kitchen table crying. "Mom." I said starting to cry. I walked over to her and hugged her. Tim walked into the kitchen and Christopher followed. We all stood there not saying anything for a while. "Here." Tim said handing her a cup of hot tea.
"Thank you." She said clearing her throat. There was a knock at the door. Christopher walked over to open it. Just then, Aunt Lucy and Aunt Krista walked into the kitchen. They were my Mom's older sisters. I figured Mom had called them. Ariana walked into the kitchen with Aubry. She had bags in her hands. "We're going to stay at my Aunt's tonight." She told Tim. "Did you guys have a place to go?" Ariana asked Christopher and I.
"Yeah. I'll stay with my friend Tristin." I said.
Christopher nodded. "I'll go to my friend Greg's." He answered.
"We'll drop you off." Ariana told him.
"I'll go pack." Christopher said. Tim took Aubry for Ariana and she set the bags down. She gave me a hug. She handed me a peice of paper. "That's the number to my Aunts house, so call us if you need us. Okay?" She said.
"Thank you." I said. I looked at my Mom and her sisters were just huddled around her hugging her as she cried harder. Tim gave me a hug and Christopher walked in the room with a bag. Ariana grabbed her bags and they all left. I walked over and gave my Mom a hug. "I love you." I said starting to cry again. She didn't say anything. Aunt Krista hugged me. "She'll be okay, sweetheart." She said to me. I smiled and went to my bedroom. I wasn't sure where I wanted to go. I packed up some things as I thought about it. I could always go back to my dorm too, but I didn't feel like being alone.
9:46 PM
Christina said...
I called Tristin, but it went to voicemail. I figured she was probably spending the weekend with Brian. I walked out with my stuff, and packed up my car. I walked back in to say goodbye to my mom. I saw her sitting there again, and started crying.
"Aunt Lucy? Can I talk to you?" I asked her.
"Yeah." She stood up and walked into the living room with me.
"She okay?" I asked.
"No. She will be." Aunt Lucy said, hugging me.
"Where is...Where is my dad?" I asked her.
"I don't know. When your mom called she was all choked up. She said something about an apartment." She said. I started crying even harder.
10:01 PM
Sarah said...
"Is it terrible that I want to see him?" I asked.
"No sweetie, not at all." She said.
"I'm sure he's hurting too." I said.
"I'm sure he is." She said giving me another hug. "I'm sure he is." She said again.
"Maybe I'll call him tomorrow." I said.
"I think that's a good idea." She said smiling.
I walked out to my car and got in. I waited until I stopped crying and pulled away. I still wasn't sure where I wanted to go. I drove for a few minutes and probably made the worst turn possible. I turned into Matt's neighborhood. I parked in front of his apartment. I debated whether or not to go in. I started thinking about Todd, but all I wanted to do was get high. I couldn't decide what to do. I started crying again and was able to stop after a few minutes. I picked up my phone and scrolled down my phone book to Todd's number. I looked up at Matt's door and back at the phone.
10:10 PM
Christina said...
Matts Door opened, and I freaked out, and dropped my phone. He was walking out with his head down looking at his keys. He looked up and saw me.
"Ally?" I heard him shout. He walked over to my side of the car and I rolled down the window.
"What are you doing here? Are you pregnant?" He asked.
"NO! I didn't know where to go. Sorry, I'll leave." I said, and started my car.
"Whats wrong?" He asked. He looked mad.
"My mom and dad split up." I said.
"I'm sorry. What do you want me to do about it?" He asked.
"Nothing!" I shouted. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here."
"Why did you come here? To get high? To mess with my feelings? What?" He asked. I didn't say anything.
"Thats what I thought. Perfect little girls perfect little family splits up and her whole world falls apart." He said.
"SHUT UP!" I shouted. I put my car in reverse and pulled out. I drove away crying. I dug around the floor for my phone to call Todd. I wasn't paying attention, and looked up when I heard a car honk. I swerved just in time to miss the oncoming car. My car skidded and came to a stop on the side of the road. I was shaking, and crying. I looked around and that car had been the only other car on the road. I didn't see them anymore, so I figured they drove off. I just sat in my car crying. A few minutes later I calmed down, found my phone and called Todd.
10:20 PM
Sarah said...
He answered the phone, but I couldn't talk. "Ally?" He asked. "Ally?!"
"I need you." I said.
"Ally, you are scaring the shit out of me. Where the hell are you?" He asked.
"I'm coming over." I said.
"I'm at my dorm." He said.
"Okay." I said and hung up. He called me back right away. "Let me come get you." He said.
"I'm only a block away." I said.
"Okay." He said. "Call me when you get here and I'll let you in."
I hung up the phone and drove to the school. I parked right by his dorms and called him. He came walking up quickly. I opened my the door and grabbed my bags. He hugged me tightly. "My Dad cheated on my Mom." I said crying. He didn't say anything at first. "All that matters it that they both love you unconditionally." He said. "And you know they do." He took my bag out of my hand and put his arm around me. He snuck me in the the door on the side of the building that lead to a stairwell. We went to his room and walked in. He closed the door and locked it.
10:32 PM
Christina said...
I layed down on his bed and kept crying. He put his arms around me and hugged me.
"Ally." He said after a few minutes.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Want to hear a secret?" He asked.
"What?"
"When I get upset there is something I always play." He said, standing up. He pulled a CD out of a case and put it in his computer.
"What is it?" I asked.
"You'll see." He said, and hit play. I Will Survive came on. I started laughing. He picked up a comb that was sitting by the keyboard and started to sing into it.
"At first I was afraid......I was petrified..." He sang. I started laughing so hard. He kept moving in slow motion and he had this look on his face lie he was really into it.
"Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong" He continued singing. He pulled me off the bed, and turned up the speakers, then started dancing around me.
10:48 PM
Sarah said...
"You are such a dork!" I said laughing.
He put the comb up to my mouth. I laughed and started singing with him. He hugged me. "Glad I could make you smile." He said.
"You can always make me smile." I said.
He turned down the music and put his arms around me. He started kissing me and pulled my shirt off over my head.
10:53 PM
Christina said...
"Oh, sorry." He said. I smiled.
"It's okay." I told him, and kissed him. We went over to his bed and had sex. I just layed there in his arms afterwards.
"I don't want to ever leave. I just want to stay here forever and the whole world to disapear." I told him.
"Shhh. Don't say that." He said.
"I mean it." I told him.
"We can't stay here like this forever." He said.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Eventually we'll stink. Showers are not overated." He said, and I started laughing.
"I love you Todd. Your a good guy." I said, and yawned.
11:00 PM
Sarah said...
"And I love you." He said.
I got up and grabbed the comb off the floor. I walked over to the computer and turned, I Will Survive on again. "Dancing naked for me?" He asked. I laughed and started singing along. "Well, don't think I'm joining you. . ." He said laughing.
8:02 AM
Christina said...
"Please?" I asked, making a pouty face.
"NO!" He said laughing.
"Come on. I'll love you more and more." I said.
"No!" He said.
"Okay, fine." I sighed and turned off the music.
"Okay, okay! But there are some other classic songs on that CD." He said, standing up.
8:32 AM
Sarah said...
He walked over to the computer, clicked the mouse a few times and YMCA started blaring through the speakers. I laughed and he smiled. "Dance!" He said.
9:12 AM
Christina said...
I tried to dance to it, but I could stop laughing. He walked over and hugged me, laughing.
"I have to pee." I said.
"Nice. Thanks for sharing." He said.
"Shut up! I don't know where your bathrooms are." I told him.
"Get dressed, I'll show you." He said. We both got dressed and he held my hand and walked me to the bathroom. He peeked his head in and looked around.
"All clear. Go ahead, I'll stand guard outside." He said, and I laughed.
10:26 AM
Sarah said...
I went to the bathroom, then we ran back to his room. "Let's play chess." He said pulling the game out from under his bed. We layed on the floor and he set up the board.
11:07 AM
Christina said...
We played one game and I just barely won.
"You suck, I rock, lets fuck." I said.
"Excuse me?" Todd asked. I started laughing.
"I'm just goofy right now. You really helped cheer me up." I told him.
"I'm glad. I don't like seeing you upset." He said.

He shoved the game under the bed.
"You should put the peices and stuff in the box instead of just shoving it all under your bed." I said laughing.
"It's not a big deal." He said.
"You dork." I said puting all the peices back in the box.
"What now?" He asked.
"I don't know." I said. "I brought one of my books if you don't mind me reading for a while."
"No problemo, lady." He said.
I smiled and got my book. I layed down on the bed and started reading. He got on the computer and started playing a game. I read for a few hours and we decided to go get something to eat. We went to McDonalds and rented a couple of movies to watch. We just layed in bed the rest of the day relaxing. When it hit 8:00, we were both tired, so we decided to just go to bed.
I woke up early the next morning to my phone ringing. I picked it up and answered it. "Honey, it's Mom."
"Hey." I said softly as I sat up.
"We have a meeting with a family councelor at ten. Do you think you can be home by then, so we can all drive together?" She asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Good." She said.
"Who's going to be there?" I asked, not wanting to specifically ask if my Dad was going to be there.
"Christopher, Tim, you, me and Dad." She said. "Your father and I are also going through marriage councling."
"Okay." I said.
"But, we're going to go to the family councelor together for a month." She said. "Longer if needed."
"Okay." I said.
"Your Aunts helped me a lot last night and helped me figured out what we should do about this." She said. "They helped me sign up with the councelor." She explained.
"I'll be home soon." I said.
"Okay, honey. Everyone should be here by nine-thirty." She said.
"Alright. I love you." I said.
"Love you too." She said. She sounded like she was about to start crying.
"See you soon." I said.
"Bye." She said and hung up.
I snuck out, not wanting to wake up Todd. I left a note thanking him on a sticky note and placed it on his computer monitor. I kisses his forehead and he opened his eyes making me jump. I started laughing and he looked confused. "Okay, you're up. Help me sneak out." I said.
12:04 PM
Christina said...
"Okay. Where are you going?" He asked.
"A counceling session with the family." I told him.
"Okay. He said.
I got ready in his room, and then He got up and helped me sneak out to the parking lot.
"Call me later." He said.
"I will." I told him and smiled. He kissed me, and then waved goodbye as I got in my car. When I got home,I was the last one to get there. I walked in the house and everyone was ready and sitting on the couch.
"Let's go. Tim, can you drive?" My mom asked.
"Yeah, mom." He said.
"Where is dad?" I whispered to Chritopher on our way out the door.
"He is meeting us there." He said.
"How are you?" I asked him. He just shrugged and walked outside. I locked the door behind me with my key.
12:40 PM
Sarah said...
We got in Tims truck and drove to the place. When we walked into the office, Dad was sitting down in the waiting room. He stood up. "They're ready for us." He said.
We all walked into another room and sat down. There was a lady in there. She smiled at us. "Christopher?" She asked smiling.
He nodded. "I'm going to start with you. Is that okay?" She asked.
"Sure." He said. He looked nervous.
"How are you feeling this morning?" She asked him.
He just shrugged his shoulders.
"Angry, sad, grumy?" She asked.
"Angry I guess." He answered.
"Can you tell us why?" She asked him. He took a deep breath. "Well, clearly, everyone thinks they need to fail to provide me with information about what is going on in the family, just because I'm the youngest." He said. "I'm old enough to handle things. I'm not twelve."
"I only found out a few minutes before you did." Tim said.
"But you and Ally were suspecting it before you found out for sure." He said.
"What?" Mom asked.
"Let Christopher finish." The lady said.
"I'm done." He said.
"Okay. Allison." She said looking at me. "How are you feeling this morning? What's on your mind?"
1:00 PM
Christina said...
"I feel like I'd rather be somewhere else." I said.
"Like where?" She asked. I looked at Tim, and he nodded. I think we both wanted to be smoking pot.
"Not here." I told her.
"Are you angry?" She asked.
"Yeah. I'm angry." I said, getting snippy. I didn't mean to be, I just felt awkward talking about this with my family there.
"Why are you angry?" She asked.
"I feel betrayed, I guess." I told her.
"Why is that?" She asked.
"Enough with the stupid questions! You have a horible aproach to therapy!" I told her.
"You have a better one?" She asked. I just sighed.
"Sorry, that was another question, wasn't it?" She asked. Tim laughed when she said that.
"Yes, I do know a better one. I know a few. I just finished helping my professor prepare a seminar and therapudic psychology was a section." I explained. "I'm sorry I'm being kind of short. I just feel a little awkward." I told her.
1:15 PM
Sarah said...
"Anything else you want to add?" She asked. "We're going to go over a lot today. This is just a start."
"That's all I have on my mind rightnow." I said.
"Tim. How about you?" She asked.
"Embarassed mostly." He said. "My fiance and my daughter are staying with us right now. We talked a lot about my parents and how I really looked up to them as role models as a married couple. So, I'm really embarassed about that and the fact that she was there when my Mom found out about this. It's all just very embarassing."
"Anything else?" She asked him.
"I do have a question I want an answer to before I leave here today." He said looking at Dad.
"We'll move onto that. Let's finish this first." She said.
Tim nodded. "That's it for me then." He said.
"Okay, Mom." The lady said.
"I'm mostly just sad and confused. I want to know why this happen. What I did wrong." She replied.
"You didn't do anything wrong." Dad said.
"Tell us how you are feeling?" She asked Dad.
"Probably any bad feeling that exists combined in one." He said.
"Okay." She said rumaging through some papers.
1:25 PM
Christina said...
"How long has this been going on?" Christopher asked.
"We'll talk about that later." She said.
"No, I want to talk about that now." he said.
"I want to know too." My mom said.
"With Mary, about six months." My dad said. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his finger and thumb. He always did that when he was stressed out.
"Wait, WITH Mary? Dad...How many more were there?" I asked.
"I'd feel more comfortable discussing this with your mother first." He said.
"I don't believe this." Christopher said.
"We'll go over all this in more detail in one of the later sessions. There was another subject that your mother wanted to go over. What I want to do is lay out all the issues on the table. One of the other ones is drug use." She said.
"Well, that takes care of where I'd rather be." Tim said. He said it just to make dad mad.
2:18 PM
Sarah said...
"I don't think discussing that is necesary." I said. "I'm an adult. I'm no longer living at the house. I'm doing very good in school. I think my personal life should be able to be kept private."
"Christopher is still in high school." Mom said.
"Then you can discuss his problem with him privatly." I said.
"What?" Christopher asked. "I've never even tried ANY drugs before!"
"Are you having unprotected sex?" The lady asked him.
"No!" He shouted.
"We're not here to talk about sex and drugs. We've all been through those courses in high school." Tim said.
2:57 PM
Christina said...
"I thought we were here to talk about mom and dad. I seriously doubt drugs or sex on our part is the cause of Dad fucking around." I said.
"Allison!" My dad said sternly.
"I also don't think it is fair to assume Christopher is doing anything just because Tim and I have." I added.
"Allison, watch your mouth." My dad said.
"Dad, watch your-" I started to say.
"Allison. Please." My mom said.
"Sorry mom." I said.
"Tim, Allison, you are both right. The main reason we are here is to discuss your mom and dad. But it is also to discuss the whole family and any other issues. I just wanted to get all the issues out." She said. "Now, drugs and sexual activity were two of the other issures that your mother and father wanted to bring up."
I sighed. She was really getting on my nerves. Her whole approach was completely wrong. I wanted to go to my dorm and bring back all the books I had and shove them in her face.
"May I continue?" She asked everyone.
"Yes." Tim, Christopher, and I all answered.
3:05 PM
Sarah said...
"I want to know who was smoking weed in my house." Dad said. "I find it very disrespectful."
"You find THAT disrespectful?" I asked.
"Allison." Mom said.
"We want to know the truth." Mom said to us.
Tim looked down and put his hand up. "So, we invite you back into our home and this is how you repay us?" Dad asked.
Tim stood up. "We did not come here to talk about me!!" He shouted.
"Timothy, sit!" Dad shouted.
"When are we going to talk about your problem?" Tim asked him.
The lady stood up. "We are not here to discuss the personal and private issues between your Mother and Father." She said. "We are here to go over any other things going on with the family and to help you kids cope with what is going on right now."
"I'm not a kid." Tim said sitting back down.
3:15 PM
Christina said...
"I know that." She said.
"Then stop acting like we are!" I said.
"What other drugs have you done?" She asked me.
"Start naming off drugs." I told her.
"Well, we already know pot was one. Extacy?"
"Yes."
"Shrooms?"
"Yes."
"Heroin?"
"Yes." I sighed. My mom gasped. She named off a few more, and I had tried those too. There was only two or three that I said no to.
"And what about you?" She asked Tim.
"D. All of the Above." He said.
"Christopher?" She asked.
"I told you I havn't done ANY!" He shouted.
3:20 PM
Sarah said...
"Oh I forgot to tell you I sniffed Cocaine too." I said. "Oh and I took Speed."
"We can't do this if your daughter and sons aren't going to cooperate." The lady said.
"Do you want this family to be normal?" Mom asked.
"What family IS normal, Mom?" I asked.
"I started sniffing glue too. Forgot about that." Tim said.
Mom started crying. "I thought this was going to help and it's only making things worse." She said.
Tim put his arm around her. "I'm sorry. We'll cooperate, but don't be surprised if you hear things you don't want to hear." Tim said. "I'll be totally honest with everyone."
"Thank you." Mom said wiping her eyes.
"I've tried shrooms and I've tried pot. Nothing else. I only tried shrooms like three times and it sucked every time. I admit I enjoy pot." He said. "And I will probably continue to do it."
"I tried shrooms once and heroin once." I said. "And I've smoked a lot of pot. It all started this summer though when I tried it. I've also noticed that the only time I want to smoke pot is when I am stressed or going through a rough time."
"Hopefully these sessions will be able to releive a lot of that that's building up inside you." The lady said.
"We'll see." I said.
"Okay, sex." The lady said.
I sighed. "I'll go first. Yes, I am having sex and I am ALWAYS careful."
Everyone looked at Christopher. "Safe every time." He said. He looked embarassed.
3:35 PM
Christina said...
"Obviously yes, as I have a child." Tim said.
"How many partners?" The lady asked.
"Oh god. Since I was 14....I don't know. Honestly." Tim said.
She looked at me.
"5. All this year." I said.
"1." Christopher said. "How many have you been with, Dad?" Christopher asked.
"This is REDICULOUS! We are all ADULTS here! Christopher is only weeks away from turning 18! NONE of this matters! I'm giving you one more chance and then I'm walking out." I told the lady.
"Ally!" My mom said.
"I can give a ton of other therapist names we could go too. Alex knows so many people." I said.
"Who is Alex?" The lady asked.
3:52 PM
Sarah said...
"A college Professor I had a class with last semester." I said.
"Okay." The lady said. "Maybe that's not the best place to get a recomendation."
"Excuse me?" I asked. "He is very smart."
"He was YOUR professor?" Dad asked.
I smiled. "Yes."
I could tell that really upset him, which made me happy. Then I started freaking out inside. My Dad could easily go get him fired, especially since the school suspected something.
"Is there something I don't know?" The lady asked.
Dad sat up straight in his seat. "No." Dad said. "Go on."
"Glady." She said smiling. "Your turn to say what you wanted to say." She said looking at Dad.
"I just wanted to apologize for everything." He said tearing up. "I love you all and I'm sorry I let you down."
Mom and I started crying. "See, I'm making my girls cry. That is the last thing I want to do." He said.
"Mary is no longer in my life and there was not anybody else." He explained. "I was having a tough time and I chose the wrong path to take care of it."
"I love you." Mom told him.
"Baby, I love you too. So much." He said. She walked over and gave him a hug. They booth stood there crying. Christopher got up and left the room.
4:05 PM
Christina said...
I looked at Tim. Earlier Dad made it seem like there were more women earlier in his life. It didn't add up and I was tired of being there. I was angry at my mom for not being more angry at my father. I stood up to leave.
"Ally, whats bothering you?" The woman asked.
"Things aren't adding up, and you're an idiot." I said.
"I agree." Tim said, and stood up.
"Mom, I love you, but I can't do this. Not with this woman!" I said, and walked out of the room. Tim followed me. We found Christopher sitting outside in the grass smoking.
