I'm currently dressed in a nice top and nice pair of pants. Carla helped me pick out my outfit for the interview and the tour! I pull into the parking lot with Carla in the passenger seat of my car. I told her she's coming, no matter what she said she would. She's a big part of Christopher's life since she helps me take care of him.
We walked to the front door and get buzzed in. I also heard that the school has wonderful security and the only way to get inside is to say who you are and if your name is not on the list, they don't let you in and you have to show ID to prove that you're that person.
First, they start with the interview, and they asked me some questions about myself, my life, what I do for a living and ask questions about my son. I answer all questions at the best of my ability. I feel like it went really well. Carla stayed in the waiting area since they just wanted it to be with the interviewer.
After we're done with the interview, me and Carla get a tour of the whole school. The school is perfect! This is everything I want for Christopher! We start making it to the outside area of the school
"Our grounds include two outdoor play areas, state of the art gymnasium, music, theater, full range of academic offerings, As well as behavioral and behavior and cognitive programs" she says
"Look um, the program sound good, but Christopher's happiness is what's important to me. I want him to feel normal and not be left out" I say
"every child is special and yes do have additional needs but they're all equally our children. We make sure no one feels left out and if they do always let us know. They learn as much from each other as they do us." She says
"I think Christopher would be well cared for" Carla says, and I nod agreeing with her
"Okay let's do it" I say Meaning that I want to enroll my child
"The only thing left would be the family interview" she says I'm off guard
"I'm sorry?" I say confused
"oh Christopher is terrific, We have your information. All we need now is to meet Mr. Nash" she says, shit!
"that won't be a problem will it" she asks and I nod no. I told her to give me a few minutes and we head back inside and I talked to Carla for a little bit.
"no it's definitely a problem" I say
"Look I know Christopher's father is a touchy subject with you, but I'm sure if we explain the situation to principal Summers we can find a way to work around it. Do you have a copy of a custody agreement?" She says and I look at her. I never told her that Christopher's father doesn't know he has a kid. I only told her he's just out of the picture.
"There isn't one, He doesn't know about Christopher. I never told him" I say she looks shocked
We go back to talk to the lady and I told her that I will call her back in a few days to schedule an interview with the father since he has a busy schedule with work, and I would have to talk to him. She understood and she told me to give them a call whenever I can and a spot will always be available for Christopher. She said if I go past a month then probably no. I told her I would not be that long.
I have to tell Eddie, I really want Christopher to go to the school and I think it's perfect for him. I just have to find a time when Eddie is not working to talk to him.
We start heading home, I sent Carla home for the day so she can spend it with her family while I sit in my living room and think. I can't talk to him today because Eddie's working tonight maybe tomorrow I don't know. Eddie works almost every day!
-next day-
It's currently the next day, I checked the schedule and Eddie's not on till later tonight which means he's not working this morning and too early afternoon. I got the address from buck since those two are are best friends!
Eddie and Shannon live in a nice house, Buck said they live in a one floor three bedroom home that is beautiful. It's probably Shannon who wanted this house, Shannon always liked everything to be perfect and beautiful. I see Eddie's car in the driveway which means Shannon might not be home since there's not two cars.
I go up to the door and I knock, I take a deep breath and try to not be nervous. I have a folder in my hand with everything about the school to hopefully show him if everything goes well. I wait a few seconds until the door opens and I see Eddie standing there with confused look on his face onto why I'm here.
"Hi, we need to talk" I say and he nods and lets me into the living room where I sit down
"Is your wife home" I ask him and he nods no
"she's out with some friends and shouldn't be home until four hours. I would say! She's usually out with friends for a while" he says and I nod
"So what do you need to talk to me about?" He asks
"I need your help with something! I need you to do an interview with a school, so Christopher can attend that school" I say and he looks confused
"Why do you want me to do it?" He asks confused
"Ok um....Your Christopher's father and they want to meet Christopher's father" I say nervous and he looks shocked
"I'm what?" He says shocked trying to register what I just said
"Your Christopher's father" I say it again to hopefully making it registered to him
"But I thought you said there was some other guy" he says and I nod no
"I lied about that, there is no other guy. The only guy back then was you" I say and he still looks shocked
"Why did you not tell me sooner about Christopher?" He asks
"I don't know! I was scared, when I saw you for the first time at the 118 I was shocked and scared. I didn't know how to tell you! The reason why I didn't tell you when I was sick was because I just did not feel like getting into that conversation. I wasn't feeling well it to begin with, and I just wasn't ready to talk about it! How am I supposed to tell my ex who left me for another girl that he has a son with me?" I say and there's a look on his face like he doesn't like the word ex! Because when I said it, his face kind of flinched a little
"You could have told me back then" he says
"I did! I tried, I left an envelope with a letter and an ultrasound picture in your mailbox the day before I left" I say
"I never got the envelope! There was no envelope" he says
"Yes there was. I put it in your mailbox!" I say
"Well I never got it" he says and I think about something!
"Was Shannon supposed to come over to your house that day?" I ask him, it takes him a few seconds to think back to that day
"Yes, she did! She came over around 2:30" he says and I nod realizing she might've took it
"I dropped it off around 2:15 in your mailbox. She came at 2:30! She might've took it." I say and he realizes something
"She brought the mail in that day. She said there was something for my dad but that was it. But I stepped out of my room for a second and I heard her fiddling with something and then I saw her, put it in her purse when she realized I was coming. But then I realized there was an ultrasound picture on the floor, and when I noticed it, she picked it up and put it in her purse. I asked her what it was and she said it was her sister." He says and I nod
"Was her sister pregnant around the time" I ask and he nods no
"I asked her about it a few days later and she said that it was her sister's friends ultrasound picture! But now thinking back to that why would she have her sister friends ultrasound picture? They weren't even friends at the time" he says
"Maybe that wasn't her sister's friends, ultrasound picture. If she shoved something in her purse, then it was probably mine." I says and he nods understand where I'm going with this!
"but why would she hide it from me?" He asks
"Okay think of this, if you have saw my letter and the picture, what would you have done" I ask him
"Come to you" he says
"See! She hid it from you because she knew that you would leave her in a heartbeat to come running to me. That's why she hid it from you because she didn't want you to leave her for me." I say and he nods understanding
"I'll have to have a talk with her soon" he says and I nod
"So back to the big question, will you help me with the school? Will you do the interview?" I ask him and he nods
"I will do anything for that kid" he says and I smile.
"But on two condition! You let me see Christopher whenever I want and we tell him I'm his father" he says and I think for a second. I have to agree with him or else he won't do it.
"Fine but after he gets into the school and settles in" I say and he nods
"Ok" he says and I nod
"Has he ever asked about his father" he asks and I nod
"Growing up, he asked a few times, but as he got older, he stopped asking. Probably because it was a hard topic for me to talk about and he doesn't like to see me upset or sad" I say and he nods
"I'm sorry" he says
"It's ok" I say
"No it's not, I'm sorry for leaving you for Shannon! If I didn't, we would've probably still together and possibly married" he say and I look at him
"When you choose her Eddie, it really hurt me! You really hurt me back then" I say and I think he can tell how much he hurt me by the look on my face
"I'm sorry for picking Shannon but you hurt me first Alyssa by distancing yourself from me" he says and that when I wanna snap! He doesn't understand why I did it!
"I distance myself from you for a reason! For the last month of our relationship, you started spending more time with Shannon. Ditching dates to hang out with her! when we hang out you're always checking your phone and pretending like I'm not there! I knew you were going to pick her over me so I distance myself from you to get myself ready for it to get myself ready for when you were going to break up with me and you did but it still hit me like a ton of bricks! So I distance myself from you! I knew you were having feelings for her because you were hanging out with her more than me and the way you looked at her when she was around us at school I knew right away! One who should feel hurt is me" I say with anger. I can tell he doesn't know what to say, the look on his face says it all!
"I should probably go" I say, I leave the folder with the information for the school by the door
"Let me know when you're free so we can schedule some thing with School" I say and he nods.
I leave the house and get in my car. I see Shannon pull in the driveway and when she sees me, she gives me the nastiest look! Shannon never liked me at all! I take a deep breath to relax myself before I start driving back to my house! He knows now! He knows!!
A/N: OH SNAP HE KNOWS!!
What do you think will happen next?
