We Are The Kids Of War And Peace, chapter 4
"Daddy, why was mommy crying before?", Jared asked his father sitting on the couch with him. Billie Joe looked down at his son and didn't really know what response to give.
"Ahh, she was crying because um... well ahh".
"Because Mommy's having a baby Jared", Pippet told him sitting down next to Billie. Jared looked at his parents and let his mouth drop open.
"You mean... ... you're going to get fat?", he asked. She nodded.
"Not fat though honey, pregnant", she told him. He smiled and hugged her knowing exactly what was happening now.
"DAD! DOES THAT MEAN WE NEED A BIGGER HOUSE?", Jared asked, jumping up and down.
"Maybe young man, but for now, you go off to bed, you've got kinder tomorrow", Billie Joe told him. Jared looked up at them both.
"BUT I DON'T WANNA GO!", he cried making them both feel guilty.
"Jared, come on its going to be lots of fun", Pippet told him, picking him up.
"But I wanna stay at home with you mommy, I don't wanna go somewhere else".
"Jared, everyone's going to be new there so you'll be fine, okay I promise", Billie told him. Jared looked at his dad.
"Dad I don't need school, I'm gonna be a guitarist just wike you", he told them smiling.
"And all guitarists go to kinder Jared", Billie told him.
"Fine", he mumbled climbing down to the ground, "Night mommy, night Biwwie".
"You want me to tuck you in?", Pippet asked him. Jared shook his head.
"I'm a big boy now", he told them walking himself to his room. Pippet looked at Billie Joe and sighed.
"Maybe he's too young for his BJ", she told him. Billie shook his head.
"He'll be fine trust me", he told her kissing her forehead. She smiled and hugged him closing her eyes.
"I just don't wanna push him you know... ... he doesn't like being forced into situations like this", she explained. Billie Joe rubbed her back and rested his head against hers.
"Don't you start worrying. Come on I'll go tuck you into bed"... ...
-THE NEXT MORNING-
"Dad I don't wanna be here", Jared told his father turning around and looking at him. Billie kneeled down and looked into Jared's eyes.
"Jared, please just one day?", Billie ask dealing with him.
"One day and I get a guitar?", Jared asked sweetly looking at him.
"You're too young for music just yet, okay kiddo", Billie told him ruffling his hair. Jared squinted and sighed.
"Okay in a few days", he said running in leaving his father to thinking of the deal.
"Hey you're that kid with the dad from that band", one kid pointed out walking over to Jared. He was taller and wider then Jared already making him scared. Jared turned his feet into each other and dropped his head.
"Yeah", he let out in a whisper.
"So you think you're better then us huh?", another kid asked shoving him. Jared took a few steps back keeping his balance.
"No, I don't think that", he told them all, starting to get emotional.
"Well it seems it, getting dropped off by your dad and talking about music", the first boy said pushing him to the ground. Jared fell dropping his Finding Nemo backpack which the kids took and walked off with. He picked himself up and looked at his grazes starting to cry before he ran himself to the bathrooms and stayed there for the whole session...
