He tosses her the keys as they head towards his mom's house. He was growing nervous. She knew he was as she squeezes his hand. They pull up to her house, his dad was already inside. She looks at him, as she gets out to go help him. He gets up and hobbles inside. His mom and dad are on opposite couches, as he heads into the living room. She was right with him, as she was nervous. She looks at both of his parents. He sat next to his mom, with room for Mercedes.
Austen: "Hi mom."
She sits down next to him. His dad speaks up first.
Theodore: "This is between Austen, his mother, and me."
Mercedes: "Austen would rather me be here."
Austen: "I would."
Virginia: "And that is fine with me."
Theodore: "Fine. Well you need to know your mother and I are divorcing."
Austen: "Good."
Mercedes grabs his hand, as she is holding it, squeezing it.
Austen: "Let's get to this, dad."
Theodore: "Well. You were kind enough to use our family name to get your house. So I expect you to still respect me."
Mercedes shakes her head as keeps quiet.
Austen: "Fine. You know what? I'll stop using YOUR last name then."
Theodore: "Good. You going to take your little girlfriend's last name or something?"
Austen: "I'd be more than happy to take her last name instead of your name. I want nothing to do with you."
Theodore: "Ok. Well you can kiss your trust fund goodbye."
Mercedes keeps her hand around his, as she squeezes it, wanting to make sure he doesn't go too overboard.
Austen: "Fine. I have a good job. I make my own money."
Virginia: "And if you ever need help, Austen, I will help."
Theodore: "Fine. Side with him."
Austen: "What else, dad?"
Mercedes was glad his mom said that, as she looks at his Dad.
Theodore: "You have something to say, missy?"
Mercedes: "How can you be so cruel to your son?"
Theodore: "He punched me. And his little pussy ass cousin."
Mercedes: "You have insulted me, and went after him too It goes both ways"
Theodore: "You sure have a mouth on you, little girl."
Austen: "Shut the fuck up. You know what? I am done. I am no longer a Blackwell. I want nothing to do with you, or your money. From here on out I will do my own thing. You got it?"
Mercedes shakes her head, as she looks at him. Austen looks at Mercedes.
Austen: "Regardless of what you think, Mercedes and I will get married one day. We are together. Period."
Mercedes: "You are right, nothing will break the promise we made each other already"
Theodore: "So what then? Take her name? Or your real mom?" Austen thinks it over.
Austen: "Maybe I will. Mercedes, you still have her number?"
Mercedes: "I do actually. It's in my phone."
Austen: "Good. We will meet her. And I will visit with my mom here too"
He kisses his moms cheek. Mercedes smiles, as she was glad he said that.
Theodore: "Fine. So that is how it will be?"
Austen: "Dad, you created this. This is on you."
He shrugs.
Austen: "Mom and us are fine."
Mercedes: "She even helped us move"
Austen: "So. Anything else you need to say?"
Theodore: "Well I guess you said it all."|
Mercedes shakes her head.
Mercedes: "You know, I hope one day you find the happiness your son and I have."
Theodore: "Whatever. Have fun. You two."
He looks up his wife.
Theodore: "Yeah. You. Ugh."
His dad leaves her house without saying another word.
Mercedes: "Wow... He's yeah..."
His mom hugs them both. Mercedes hugs her back as smiles.
Virginia: "I am sorry you two."
Mercedes: "Its ok, not your fault"
Virginia: "You both okay?"
AB nods.
Mercedes: "Yeah we are. Just hope he doesn't visit our home again"
Virginia: "No. I'm sure he will be gone."
Austen stays quiet. Not sure what to say.
Mercedes: "Good, thank you again"
She smiles.
Austen: "Well. Mercedes had to take me to the doctor now."
His mom looks worried.
Mercedes: "It's just a normal check"
Austen: "My knee."
He looked at Mercedes.
Austen: "I banged it."
He showed his mom his knee. Mercedes looks down.
Virginia: "What's wrong hun?"
She asks Mercedes
Mercedes: "He was chasing me when it happened"
Austen: "She didn't mean to."
Virginia: "I know that. It's okay. Just get it check out. Things happen." his mother smiles, not wanting to ask why he was chasing her figuring it was something more then what she wanted to hear.
Mercedes: "We are, come on babe"
