•Chapter 8.
______________

"Richie, stoooop." 

"Tina, real quick, c'mon." 

"Nooooo, I'm tired." She kept whining. 

He sighed and got off her, "You're getting on my last nerves right now ! I swear, y-" The doorbell ringing cut him off. 

The two frowned and looked at each other, "What is it ? " Tinashe asked sitting up. 

Her husband shrugged, "I don't know. I'm gonna see." He got up, put his robe on and went downstairs to see what it was. He checked the clock in the living room going to the front door and saw that it was five minutes past midnight. He didn't know who could come at their house at this time of the night. 

He unlocked and then opened the door to reveal Larry Wilson, Yanisha's father and RJ was standing right behind him looking down at his feet with his hands in his pockets.

Richard smacked his teeth and folded his arms, "What's going on ? " He was talking to Larry, but his angry eyes were glued on his son. He kept getting him irritated with his foolishness lately. 

"He was in my daughter's room. It's the first and last time it is happening. Now, I'm going to let you deal with this young man. Good night." 

They shook hands, "Thanks and sorry for disturbing." Larry nodded and left after shooting a furious glare to RJ. 

"Bring your ass inside ! " Richard ordered and his son obeyed immediately. He closed the door, then locked and they went in the living room. 

He crossed his arms again, "You have two minutes to explain yourself." 

"Well...I w-"

"Shut up ! "

"Bu-"

"Shut up ! " RJ was about to open his mouth again, but with the look his dad was giving him, he knew better than trying something. Once again, he had messed up, "I can't believe this ! What is wrong with you ?! I know damn well that your mother and I didn't raise you all these damn years for wasting our time and for you to be doing repeatedly that shit ! Did you lose your mind or are you just stupid ? Look, I don't even want to know the reason why you were there, because you should've NOT been there in the first place ! I don't get it ! When are you going to grow up ? You're not five anymore ! Man, you know what, go to your room and I'll punish you tomorrow. Or maybe, I should just kick your ass out so you can learn ! "

"Hey, why are you yelling for ? " Tina asked joining them. She could hear her husband's voice since upstairs and it got her worried, so she came downstairs to see what was occurring by herself, "What is going on ? "

"Your son ! He's out of control and I'm two seconds away to beat his ass ! "

She sighed with her hands on her hips, "Richie, can you calm down, please ? You're going to wake everybody up. Listen, let's just go back in bed and we'll talk tomorrow. It's too late for that." 

RJ chuckled, but it wasn't because he was happy. He was getting frustrated and had something to tell his parents, "That's all you know to do now. That's...That's really what we are now ? " 

His mother frowned, "What are you talking about ? " She asked completely lost.

"We DON'T talk anymore. I did what I did tonight, because I want my best friend back. And actually I think I have feelings for her. I know it sounds cliché, but that's what it is. She was ignoring me for some reason and I felt half empty inside without her being by my side as usual, so I sneaked out of the house and went to hers to talk to her and to see what was up."

He stopped chewing on his lips and continued, "I'm young and still growing up, so of course I will make A LOT of mistakes. I'm not perfect, nobody is, but you kept telling me to be it for a few weeks now and I'm tired to hear y'all telling me how to act. Let me live please ! And when was the last time you asked me how I'm really feeling, huh ? Did you not realize that maybe, I'm doing all of this shit because I need your attention again ? Before we can laugh together so easily and now...I feel like...I'm losing my parents and I don't know who you are anymore." 

"We don't know who you are either. And you never come to talk to us anymore, you're always too busy being with your friends and all that." His father said as much in pain as him.

It was true, something in their relationship was broken and the three had noticed it, but they were letting it go even more since they had so much else to take care of also. And finally, their lost the communication they shared so perfectly once. Sometimes, it felt like they were living with roommates and not as a family. With the other children in addition and the continual changes into their lives, the three somewhat came off and they were still lost. They had never really had the time to work it out and to repair the broken pieces. It was getting a huge toll on them and now that RJ brought it up, it felt like it was the perfect time to talk about it. 

"But when I do come to you...you're always reproaching me something." RJ said then sighed. 

Tina licked her bottom lip, "You know...he's not totally wrong. I can't even remember the last time we sit down and just spend a quality time together. When you were little, we were always having fun and now we can't even have a random conversation." 

Richard rolled his eyes, "But, we can't have fun all the time." 

"But, that's not what I want ! I just want us to have the same relationship that we had when I was like five years old. I want it back. That's all." 

Richard unfolded his arms and looked at his son, "I see. Well, we can...Uh...we can do something this week end, okay ? " RJ nodded smiling, "But...you're still in trouble for what you've done tonight. You can't sneak in people house like that." 

He groaned and his parents chuckled, then they hugged.
