Cowgirls Don't Cry.

"Titan are you there...?" Devin sighed softly.

A sniffle could be heard before the other boy came back on.
"Im here...."
He needed to go home....see his papa.

"I know Titan... I was a mess when I first heard. Still am really..." He sighed.

"O-Oh god...I gotta come home...I-I gotta go, Love you...Bye."
The line went dead.
Mike sighed softly, pressing a kiss to Sydeny's hair.

Devin sighed and frowned, sitting the phone down.
"Whos the chick?" He asked.
"Sydney. Your sister."
"Oh." Devin nodded.
"Wait, you and momma had another kid? Damn." Sydney chuckled.
"Well he's.. not your mommas." Alex explained softly.
"Huh?"
"I... cheated."
"Daddy..." Sydney frowned deeply.
"I'm the momma."
"Weird... whos the daddy then? Do I know him?"
"Uh... Daffy."
Her eyes bulged. All she remembered was Daffy and her father hating each other's guts.

Mike smiled and stood.
"Speaking of Daffy, let me go make sure he is still alive back here."
He was forgiving them but he hated people talking about it...

"Alright babe.... sorry. I was just filling her in." He pecked his cheek with a frown as he left.

Mike came back a bit later and sat down,l nodding at Chris.
"He is still breaking and he is grump, I thought he was going to bit me for talking to him."

Chris nodded.
"Think he'll let me in?" He asked.
"Woah whys he here? Adn why is momma talking to him?" Sydney asked.
Alex laughed.
"Youre so behind child. Chris is cool now. He's married to Daffy."
"What?"
"Yupp."

Mike shook his head. "He is....not in a good mood and he doesnt want anyone bothering him, he might puke on you or cause you bodily harm." Mike shook his head, sitting beside Chris and wrapping an arm around him.

Chris frownde and leaned on Mike with a sigh.
"I hate this..."

"I know Chrissy, I know." Mike hugged the man tightly, also pulling Rick back into his lap.

Rick hugged his brother lightly. They hadn't been as close since the whole Kelton thing... Chris didn't want to upset Dustin...

Mike knew this and he hated it for them, but he also hated it for the child whos life they ruined....

Rick felt terrible. It had been his idea after all. He'd never thought this would happen though...
Chris felt even worse. It wasn't his idea but he'd gone along with it and his baby hated him now...

Speaking of Kelton, he came through the door and smiled at Mike, tugging on his arm.
"What Kelton?" Mike frowned at the small boy.
"I burned my hand...." The boy muttered, his hand wrapped in a towel and clutched against his chest.
"Then dont put it in a towel! It can take your skin off!! Was Lance not watching you?"
"He is upset about Riley and mad at me for god knows what."
"How about Cade?"
"Locked in his room."
Mike frowned, shaking his head. "You need parental supervision from someone, lets go get you taken care of."
Mike lead him off, smiling at Chris.
"Ill take care of him momma."

That stung...
"Thank you Mike..."
His baby should come to him if he burnt himself...
It was almost too much for him...
Dustin had cancer, Kelton wanted nothing to do with him, Devin wasn't his...

Mike went to take care of the boy, frowning as yes, skin was pulled off with it.
Kelton's small cry was heard echoing through the home...
Mike rushed past them, going into the room with Dustin and coming back with a big case. He was trying to make the pain stop but the poor boy was miserable...
He should have been taken along with his parents or someone should have stayed to watch him, he was only thirteen, not that old really....

Chris frowned deeply and hung his head. Rick sighed and tugged his brother into a tight hug.
"Hey... it'll be okay Chris..."

Mike came back a while later, going to wash blood off himself. Kelton followed, his whole are wrapped up in white gauze that was already being tainted red with his blood. Mike came back and sat down, sighing as Kelton stood awkwardly, chewing his lip and waiting, his eyes on Mike.
Mike sighed and opened his arms for the boy, when Kelton smiled and sat in his lap, he couldnt help but hold him tight.

Chris looked away and scooted out of Rick's lap. Rick frowned at him.

Kelton hated Rick, DESPISED Rick, and seeing Chris with him just made it that much worse.
He was also distant with Alex now, he used to be close with him, loved him, going to him to show him things Dustin didnt care about, pretending he still had a momma....
And Alex turned him away like everyone else...

And this was why Chris moved away from him, eyeing his son. Hating how he seemed to go to everyone BUT Chris when he needed help...

Kelton whined, whimpering into Mike's chest.
Mike sighed and stroked his back, kissing his cheek,
"Poor baby...."
No one wanted him and he refused Chris because was Chris's fault no one wanted to love hm.

Chris was about to whimper himself. He had no one to go to now. He sighed. He couldn't go to Rick anymore without people giving them the evil eye. He couldn't go to Alex because... well because he hated Alex...
