"Their you are. I was getting kind of worried. I thought you would have been by to pick up Aaron by now" said Lynn.

"Yeah, I guess I fell asleep on the bus" said Justin.

"Fell alseep on the bus. Justin, you've got to stop doing this" said Lynn.

"I'll just get Aaron and be out of your way" said Justin.

"He's still alseep. How about we have a cup of Java and give him a bit to wake up" said Chris.

"I'm not really..."

"Come on, you know you never could resist my coffee" said Chris smiling.

"Fine, but no cinnammon this time" said Justin.

"He looks so peaceful, like a little angel" said Lance.

"All kids look like little angels. Then they grow up and you find yourself wondering where the little angel went" said Henry.

"He needs me."

"No, what he needs is Justin. But he's too hung up on you too see that" said Henry.

"I didn't ask to die, it's not my fault" said Lance.

"Yes it is. Your just not going to see it, are you. Come on, their in the kitchen."

"Justin I know it seems like I'm pushing but it's just because I love you" said Chris.

"You love him alright. You know I'll never understand why people can't just admit how they feel" said Henry.

"How they feel?.

"Chris, he loves him."

"They all do."

"No, I mean the boy loves him. As in I want to kiss you, I want to have sex with you." said Henry.

"I think you've flipped" said Lance.

"What's the matter, not what you wanted to hear."

"Chris isn't in love with him. Their friends, that's all."

"You know this is all your fault. They could be good for each other but no, you just won't let go" said Henry.

"We should have listened to the social worker" said Justin.

"What?"

The social worker she said we should re-consider adopting a child. She was right. We never should have adopted Aaron" said Justin.

"How can you say that. The look on your face when you brought that baby home. You two were so happy" said Chris.

"Yeah. We, we're happy. Their is no more we. Lance is gone. What kind of father can I be to that baby without him."

"You listen to me. Lance is gone, but your life is not over" said Chris kissing him on the forehead.

"I don't believe it. He kissed him" said Lance.

"Yeah, on the forehead" said Henry.

"Sure, first it's a kiss on the forehead, then a kiss on the lips then...How could he do this. I thought he was my friend" said Lance.

"Tell me something. Do you just expect the boy to hold on to you forever. He needs to be happy. He has a right to be happy."

"But with Chris" said Lance.

"With Chris, with whoever he chooses to be with. When you love someone you have to love them enough to want them to be happy. Even if that means being with someone else" said Henry.

"But..."

"Would you rather he hooked up with AJ? Now their's a boy who has a long way to go" said Henry. "He's out like a light. I wish I could sleep like he does." said Justin.

Yeah, I'll get out of your hair and let you be alone" said Chris.

"Can you stay, until I fall asleep" said Justin.

"Fall asleep, you just woke up. Don't you want to get some fresh air, watch some TV."

"I just want to sleep. Please, can you stay" said Justin propping up a pillow.

"Sure. But your not sleeping here. Come on, let's get you in bed" said Chris.

"He's getting so big" said Lance gazing at Aaron.

"Babies, do that" said Henry.

"His birthday is coming up and how can I not be there. And when he gets hurt. I should be there. It wasn't supposed to be like this" said Lance as the tears fell down his cheeks.

"It never is. You think I was ready to go. You think I don't know what it's like. I had two kids. My wife was pregant. I never even got to see my kid born. You see, I know what it's like" said Henry.

"How did you do it. How did you just watch them go on without you" said Lance.

"It wasn't easy. But I had to accept it, just like you have to accept it" said Henry.

"Never, I will never accept this. It's wrong" said Lance.

"And that is why you will be stuck with me till eternity or until you come to your senses and let go. Whichever comes first" said Henry.

"Justin it's ok. Your having a dream. Come on, wake up" said Chris shaking him.

"No, no. He's not dead" shouted Justin.

"Justin wake up."

"Chris? Where is Lance, where..."

"You were dreaming."

"It was so real. It was like I was living it all over again. We were fighting and then he left. It was all my fault" said Justin.

"How could it be your fault" said Chris.

"We were fighting. If we hadn't fought he wouldn't have ran out. He wouldn't have been upset. He would have seen the car coming" said Justin.

"You don't know that" said Chris.

"How could he think it was his fault. He didn't cause the accident" said Lance.

"He thinks he did" said Henry.

"I miss him. I miss his touch. I his lips on mine. I miss the feel of our bodies together. I haven't felt alive in so long" said Justin.

"What are you doing? You can't kiss him. He's kissing Chris, do something" said Lance.

"Why, because he might move on."

"Their going to make love" said Lance.

"I know."

"This can't be happening."

"Come on, let's go. Hello, earth to Angel boy. I don't think they want an audience. I said lets move. Look, do you honestly want to stay here and watch them make love" said Henry

"No."

"Then let's go." said Henry.
