i thought about how love was always the thing that did that——smashed into you, left you raw. the deeper you loved, the deeper it hurt.
Annnnnnd he's starting to pull him along
"I don't see why not." Henry shrugs, his sons excitement becoming slightly infectious. "I would like to meet him."
"yes please! Can we? Can we go?" Jeremiah asked excitedly
"Congrats." Henry feels his lips twitch into a slight smile, and he shakes his head. "I suppose we should go and pick him up, then."
Jeremiah grinned and said "ah yes! The mom's name is Annika and she is the love of my life"
"I would have listened." Henry sighs, and forces a smile onto his face. "Where are they, who's the mom?"
So you'll be my stepdad?
So it's a love hate relationship?
"I wanted to" Jeremiah said as he went to his dad "but you were so far in your depression I didn't want to make it worse"
A blink. And Henry pauses, he doesn't know just how to respond to that. "Wow. Jerm..." He feels just a tiny spark of hurt. "You could have told me sooner."
Jeremiah turned and said "well....you're kinda.....a grandpa"
Now that gets his attention from where he was buttoning up his shirt. "Oh? Do you?" He finishes dressing, and then turns to face him again. "What's up, kiddo?"
Try me. I understand easily
Jeremiah looked away to give his dad privacy and he said "so I have something to tell you"
"Then you don't mind giving me a moment." He grabs a shirt and some jeans from the pile on the floor. Everything in his house is messy and unkempt, just like him. "Let me get dressed and we'll go get some food too."
Jeremiah perked up and said "yeah! We can totally do that!"
Henry shrugs, and he takes a moment to think. "Well. How about we just go into the town, okay?"
"hm....whatever you wanna do" as he smiled
"That sounds good." He offers a smile in return, and finally gets himself out the bed. "Where would you like to go?"
Complicated? Explain please?
Jeremiah said "what about spending the day together?" As he smiled
"Because of him." He sighs, and shakes his head. "We can do anything else, just not that, alright?"
Jeremiah nodded slowly and said "because of..../him/?"
That gets his attention, and he finally looks at Jeremy, his brows furrowing slightly. "No, Jeremy. We don't." A sigh, and he shakes his head. "You know why we don't."
Sooooo.....does that mean.....?
he was everything to me. is still is. I hate him like nothing else and yet I love him all the same.
"I think so. But maybe I'm wrong. Do we have the pizzaria today?"
"Aw, Jerm." He pushes the cover off himself, trying to make himself look at least a little presentable. "I'm sorry, just, give me a moment , okay? Are we running late for something?"
Jeremiah nodded and said "yes. Again. I'm worried about you, dad. Very worried"
(@spawnofhenry) Henry shifts in the bed, completely dead to the world, until he feels /someone/ nudge him. He let out a sigh, his eyes slowly fluttering open. "Oh, hey Jerm." He slowly pulls himself up to sitting, and meets his sons eyes. "Did -
What happened?
listen, hun, i understand, but your father and i aren't exactly the best of friends and i have my own children to keep away from all of that — stuff.

Worried about dad as usual
