i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Celina was all for getting out of the house, and to visit cousin Sorin would make it easier for James to get the answers he's been looking for. That and so he can stop being a nuisance. Celina loved her younger brother, but sometimes when he gets wrapped into things, he can be a little obnoxious. "Yeah, sure! I'll go with you guys! It's not that far anyway." --- Sighing, Marcella swept her hand over her face, "Chris, I have no clue what to do for James anymore. He's so infatuated about figuring out your past, that he's finding different ways to get his answers." Rubbing her shoulder sheepishly, "I..I dunno Jay, do you think you should just tell him? Maybe it'll sound better coming from you than someone else." Her voice seemed very distressed... That someone else in particular is his Aunt Anna. Marcella loved Anna like her own sister but sometimes, she spills vital information.

media.melty.de/pmedia-10014-ajust_640-f1448632608/teen-wolf-und-ex-pretty-little-liars-star.jpg "Excellent!" Anna stood, and walked outside, "You two tell your mother where we're going." James nodded, and rushed back to his room. "Hey, we're going to Sorin's!" He ignored the fact that she's on the phone, and then ran back. He smiled, grabbing his keys, "I can drive..!" Anna was quick to stop him. "You mean in that piece of junk in the driveway..?" She laughed, "No my darling, I only ride in style." She opened the driver's door to her red Maserati. The top was down, and she got in, and motioned for the kids to get in. James looked at his sister, "Dude...!" He was enamored by the car. He let his sister sit in the front, and got in the back. "Oh my god, this car is awesome..." Anna put on her sunglasses, "I know..." She smirked, "You kids ready for some fun..?" --- Chris sighed... His son was hell bent in knowing what happened, "You know I can't do that, Cella...It's just a phase, he'll get over it... Besides, who could possibly tell him? I had a conversation with Sorin already, and he promised not to say anything..."

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Once outside, Celina was amazed by the car, and thanked her brother when he let her sit up front. At first, Celina seemed shy around her newly reacquainted Aunt, but the more time she spent with her, the more she began to trust her! What could be so bad about Aunt Anna anyway? "This is so awesome!! Dad would never let me get this close to his car!" --- When Chris asked who could possibly tell James about his past, Marcella swallowed a lump in her throat. How the hell was she going to tell her husband that his sister whom he hasn't seen in years, just magically appeared at their front door? He wouldn't even try to believe it! But, it was worth a shot. "A-Anna.. babe. Anna would tell him." She braced for impact, as she knew Chris wasn't going to be happy. But there was more.. "Your son magically got in contact with Anna, and she came knocking at our door Chris. If I can only think of one person who could give him such information, it would be Sorin." Sighing, Marcella ran her fingers through her hair, she was completely stressed out, "Dammit!" She cursed out. "I feel like I'm breaking the promise we made once the twins were born Jay..." Looking out the window, she saw the red Maserati drive pass... "To not tell them anything..."

http Anna revved up her engine, and slammed the gas. "Your father is so protective of you two, he won't let you live a little? How sad..!" She laughed. James buckled up his seatbelt, and was having the time of his life going down the street. "It's looks like I came just in time...!" She winked at her niece, and made her way to her son's home. --- Chris huffed, "And why would Anna say anything? We had a discussion about that after the wins were born, Anna swore she wouldn't say anything. Besides, she's in Ireland working, I spoke with her a few weeks ago." Then Marcella explained that Anna was there, at his house. "Shite...." He sighed, "She's not going to say anything, unless James lied to her..." He paused, "I'll be home in about twenty minutes."

With that, Marcella hung up the phone and awaited her husband's arrival back home. The kids were gone with their aunt which gave Marcella enough time to straighten up the house, giving her something to do to clear her thoughts.

After their Aunt dropped them off, James was silent. He gave her thanks, and then walked up to the door. "I don't know why mom's freaking out about you... You're not the one who called Aunt Anna..." He sighed, and opened the door. "Mom..!" He walked up to her, and crossed his arms, "Be mad at me, but don't be mad at Celina, she had nothing to do with this. I'm the one that called her, I'm the one who asked her to come, and I'm the one who lied. So punish me, but leave Celina out of it." He exhaled. "Just... Just punish me, okay?" He knew he screwed up. He felt bad for dragging his sister into it. "I messed up, this is my fault." a few moments later, Christopher walked in the door...

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Celina listened to her brother as he confessed that he was wrong for his actions. Just when Celina was about to speak up, her father came into the house... Marcella looked at her son, and crossed her arms at him. Raising an eyebrow, "Don't tell this to me, tell your father, he wants to talk to you." She looked at her daughter, "C'mon Josie, let's go try your prom dress on!" Interested, Celina followed her mother into her room, but not before giving her brother a hug and kiss on the cheek.

Chris inhaled deeply before walking to his son, "I'm not gonna sit her and ask you what you did or why you did it. You know what ye did was wrong." He said, disappointed. "You lied to me, your mother, and Sorin to get Anna out here, and for what?" He was calm on the outside, but on the inside, he was embarrassed for having something so awful to keep from his son. James frowned, "I just wanna know you better, and you won't talk about anything, or anybody... You always keeping secrets, and I think that we would be closer if you just told me more about yourself." Chris sighed, shaking his head, "Are you going to stop..?" James looked his father deep in his eyes, "Not if you keep lying to me." Chris was a little shocked at the answer. His son's blue eyes... They were genuine. "This is ridiculous, i have never lied to you..." He was starting to get mad. "Lying, Keeping the truth from me, What's the difference!?" James started to raise his voice. "Don't raise your voice at me, son..!" Chris voice shook, as his teeth began to grit. "THEN TELL ME THE TRUTH!" When his son yelled at him, Chris punched James in the jaw. James fell to the ground, and put his hand on his jaw. House mouth was bleeding. Chris looked at his son, and went to help him up, "Shite... Son I'm sorry.." "Get away from me..!" James back away from him, and ran out of the house. Chris chased after him, "JAMES! GET BACK IN HERE!" He yelled. James got in his truck, crying, and drove off." "God damnit..." Chris kicked a chair, and put his hands on his head. He looked in the mirror... the look on his face reminded him of his mother. He punched the mirror, glass shattered everywhere. "Marcella...!" He yelled. His hand was bleeding, "Celina, stay here, I need to find your brother..." He then left...

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Marcella and Celina heard the commotion that was present in the living room, Celina went out to check on her brother and father right on cue to witness her father punch James in the jaw... Her eyes widened, as she ran over to help her younger brother, "DADDY, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??" Hearing her daughter raise her voice at her father seemed unusual for Marcella, as she ran into the living room herself to witness the scene... "Oh my God..! James!" Marcella ran over to crouch next to her son, who's jaw was bleeding, "Are you alright??" Just when she asked him, James ran off, and into his car. "JAMES!! COME BACK!!" Her eyes glazed over at her husband, as she watched him punch a mirror, "Hard to look in the mirror when you just punched your fucking son!!" She rushed over to him, and shoved him out of the house, "Get out of here and find our son! Don't you dare think about coming back until you find him!! Be lucky we'll be here when you get back!!" With that she slammed the door behind Chris, and knocked over a near by plant in frustration, the pottery shattering into pieces as it fell on the marble floor. Soon, she heard sobs emitting from her daughter as she got her bearings together and crouched in front of Celina, and ran her fingers through her hair, attempting to sooth her...

Chris found his son at a nearby park an hour after looking for him. James was sitting on the swing, and Chris walked up, and sat on the swing next to him. There was a dead silence in the air, before Chris finally spoke. "When I was your age, I woke up tied to a chair..." James looked at his father, still teary eyed. "My mother stood in front of me, and told me that there was a hit out on me. I had three hours to escape the shackles before someone came to end my life..." James looked to the ground, "Why would she do something like that..?" He asked meekly. His father had never opened up to him about anything before. He rubbed his face where he had hit him. "My mother perceived anything less than perfection as weakness. I lost one round to Anna, and that was my punishment." James' eyes widened. Chris continued. "Son, I don't want you to know about my past because it hurts to talk about it... I apologize for hitting you..." James shook his head, "It's fine, I've been hit harder..." Chris stood up, and hugged his son. James cried in his father's arms, "I'm sorry for making you feel bad..." Chris laughed a bit, "It's okay." James stood up, and smiled. "Well, I finally got to meet Aunt Anna..!" Chris shook his head, "Yes you did... Let's go home, maybe we can go hang out with your Aunt and your cousin till I have to go to Hong Kong..." James smiled. As his father walked off, James got a text from someone named Liam. He opened it, "Is everything okay with your dad, babe?"James made sure his father wasn't looking before responding, "We just made up. I'll let you know when he leaves. Can't wait to see you <3" He then put his phone in his pocket, and got in his truck, and they both made their way home.

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Back at home, Celina and her mother were steady cleaning up the mess that was made during the heated moment that occurred earlier. Celina swept up the broken pottery in the doorway, while Marcella cleaned up the broken glass that scattered nearby. During her cleaning, Celina wondered about her brother... "Do you think Dad and James are okay, Mommy?" She asked, as she finished up placing the last of the broken pottery in a garbage bag.. Even though she was still furious at Chris, Marcella still loved the man. Sighing, Marcella put thought into her response to her daughter, "Knowing them Josie, they are just fine. Now, for your father, it'll be a different story." Chris is going to be in some deep trouble the moment he steps through that door, Marcella is far from finished with him...

media.melty.de/pmedia-10014-ajust_640-f1448632608/teen-wolf-und-ex-pretty-little-liars-star.jpg James and Chris walked into the house. and Chris sighed, "Go ahead, Marcella.." He said. James then got in front of his dad, "No..!" He sighed, "I enticed him, I made him mad..." He turned to his dad, and looked back at his mom. He was smiling, even with his bruised jaw. "We had a good talk... and Dad opened up to me about a few things..." He smiled at his mother, "It's a good thing. Chris placed his hands on his son's shoulders and gently moved him aside. "And I was wrong for hitting you out of anger.." he turned to Marcella,and walked her to their bedroom so they could talk in private. "I love you, and I want you to stay..." He sighed, hoping this didn't come across as cruel. "But if one punch to the face is enough for you to leave... Then by all means..." His eyes were a little empty. The words that she said rung in his head. "I may have over reacted Marcella, but if you think for one fuckin second that that punch wasn't to knock some sense into that kid, then I don't know what to tell you..." His bottom lip was trembling, and he lifted up his shirt, showing an extremely scarred up torso. "Or would you rather I give him a few scars? You know my history. He can take a punch. I apologized." He let go of his shirt. "So if you wanna leave, then leave." --- Meanwhile, James pulled his sister into a hug. "I'm okay. Don't be mad at dad." He pulled away, "Plus..! I made progress!" He smiled.

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Marcella looked at Chris with eyes of anger, How dare he be so inconsiderate? Having her hands on her hips, she snapped at Chris... "He can take a punch?? HE. CAN. TAKE. A. PUNCH?! Christopher, new flash! If you haven't noticed, James is your son not a human punching bag!" She was furious! Marcella didn't give a crap about Christopher's past, James was their son and didn't deserve to be hit in such a manner. "Look at you! First, you hit James, what next? Josie? You're going to hit her too! Me? What about me? Did you ever think about that?! Did you!?" Marcella loved Christopher, but at this moment, she felt like this relationship was taking a turn in the wrong direction. "Ugh! I can't even look at you!" She turned around to walk into the closet attached to their bathroom, she found a nearby suitcase and started packing her clothes, not even bothering to say a word to Chris... "I refuse to stay around with someone who thinks that punching their kids is a way to get through them..." Her hazel eyes glared at him, "You're just like Johanna..." She snapped at him... --- Celina looked at her brother and held him close to her, "I don't care about your progress right now, James, I'm just glad that you're safe!" She ran her fingers through his hair, she was protective of him but she never knew that she had to protect him from their own father...

Chris' heart felt like it stopped when she told him he was just like his mother. "I'm just like my mother..?" He walked up and threw her luggage across the room, "I'M JUST LIKE JOANNA!?" He glared at Marcella. "Did I shoot my son!? Did I tie him up for hours and leave him for days to make him escape!? DID I FORCE HIM TO MURDER PEOPLE!? HUH!?" Chris stormed around the room. "DID I THREATEN HIS LIFE!?" He yelled. Tears were streaming down his face. "I've done everythin in my power to protect you and those children, and that ISN'T ENOUGH!?" He screamed at Marcella. The man was seeing red. He refused to physically touch his wife. He wiped his face. "Marcella, he's fine. You need to see it from my perspective. I was raised by murderers. I was one. He's not a punching bag, but that boy needs to learn when to stop! When he's out there in the real world acting like a brat, do you think people aren't gonna hit him? He's a trained fighter for Christ's sake." His jaw was tight. He was pissed. In their eighteen years of marriage he had not once ever been told he was like Johanna. He couldn't look at Marcella. "I'm gonna get a hotel tonight... I'd rather not remind you of my mother.. Even though you only met her twice." He said, packing his things. --- James looked in the hallway, hearing his father screaming. He looked down at his phone buzzing. "Awesome. I'll be there tonight. Love you."James smiled a little, He hated hearing his parents argue. Liam always managed to make it better "I love you too."

i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h377/Rainen20/phoebe_tonkin_cute_smile_zpsajqem54e.jpg Marcella jumped out of her skin when Chris threw her luggage across the room, her clothing spilling out of the expensive suitcases, she clenched her fist. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!" Marcella was convinced that Chris has lost his marbles. She listened to him explain his past, that's always the case. His past justifies everything, suddenly, Marcella couldn't take the excuses anymore and snapped. "CHRIS DAMMIT!" She hit the nearby wall with her fist, making a hole through the drywall. Her fist was bleeding but with her adrenaline, she didn't feel a thing.. By now her breathing increased, and Marcella gave Chris a glare that she was for sure, he would never forget.. "Do you think your past justifies everything!? DO YOU?! And because he's a fighter you think it's right?? NO! It's not right! Maybe I don't understand because I wasn't raised by a bunch of ruthless, lifeless assassins, but I grew up with the common sense NOT to hit my children!" Sure, a few spankings when they were young, but punching them in the jaw was something Marcella couldn't even fathom the thought of doing... "Do..do you realize that you could go to jail for child abuse!? He's 17! He's still a kid!!" Out of their 18 year marriage, Marcella has never yelled this much at Chris, maybe it was from all the stress she kept bottled up inside for the duration of their marriage. As she pulled her hand out of the hole in the wall, Marcella examined the damage done to her hand, she went into the bathroom to wash off some of the blood, only to return to the room to witness Chris packing his things, stating he was going to stay in a hotel tonight.. Marcella just looked at her husband... Is this really it? Is this really what their marriage has become? Normally, they could bounce back from arguments, but this one may take some time. "So.." Marcella spoke through the silence that crept over them, "Is this what we've become... Jay? After 18 years of a wonderful, blessed marriage, it becomes like this? Is our marriage really this bad?" Deep down, Marcella truly loved Chris, the 18 years they've been married have been the best years of her life, she didn't want it to end over differences of morals and values... --- Meanwhile, in the room adjacent to theirs sat Celina, she hated to hear her parents argue, but somehow she knew that they would find a way to get through it, they always did. She listened to music to drown out the sound of her parents arguing, it normally works wonders but this one seemed to be more powerful than the others. Though, deep down, she knew this would be the case, given the incident that happened earlier between her brother and her father.
