"Jagger
look Im really sorry about this, I did what your Father wanted me
to do" Benji replied, stuffing his hands into his pockets,
"Maybe you shouldn't have listened to him, You would have
made my life a lot better" Jagger shouted.
"Your right, and if you want you can forget about me, I'll
stop trying to be something Im not, If you want you just tell me,
and I'll be gone" Benji announced, Receiving a silent No
from Amy who would stared into his eyes. "You leaving is not
going to fix anything" Jagger replied, "But I don't
want you to do anything for me, Your not my Father and you will
never be" Jagger fought back.
"You don't mean that Jagger" Amy said looking to her
son, "Yes I do" He replied pointing to his door,
"Now unless you guys have anything else to tell me, like Im
adopted you can leave" Jagger announced. Benji opened his
mouth to speak but stopped himself and walked towards the door,
His head hung low over his shoulders.
Once outside the room Benji sat against the Hallway Wall with his
Knee's pulled to his Chest, "You know he was right, I
shouldn't have listened to him, I shouldn't have screwed up his
life" Benji said coldly. "Benji come on, Don't say
things like that, I don't know what I would have done without you
here." Amy replied walking towards him and grabbing his hand
pulling him up to his feet, Kissing his lips softly. "Give
him time" Amy replied pulling Benji into the Master Bedroom.
Opening the shelf of his Dresser, Benji pulled out a Piece of
Folded Paper, the Ink had begun to fade, He lifted the Paper and
opened it. He had found the words to the song Deryck had Written
for Jagger when he was born. He turned to Amy, she was laying
down on the bed sleep had over taken her. Benji slowly walked out
of the room and down the Hallway towards Jagger's room.
He bent down and Slipped the aged Paper under the door, He heard
the shallow footsteps of Jagger walking towards the Paper,
Looking under the door he saw him pick the paper up and begin to
read it. Benji sat against the wall of the hallway starring up to
the ceiling, remembering back those Fourteen years to when Deryck
first wrote those Humbling words.
Everyone has always told me
That there's more to life that what you see
I know this as true
because I have you
I've become a better man
I've become one with you
And now my son is here
So hold him close my dear and wait for me
I'll be home for you soon
I'll be home for him
I'll be a father for him
More then my father was to me
I'll never leave you
I'll always stay true to the ones I love
Nothing can take me from you
Not even the heaven above
No one in the world knows how I feel
No one will ever know how proud I am
To have a life with you
To have a Future that will never fade.
I've become a better man
I've become one with you
And now my son is here
So hold him close my dear and wait for me
I'll be home for you soon
I'll be home for him
I'll be a father for him
More then my father was to me
Everyone has always told me
That there's more to life that what you see
I know this as true
because I have you
The door to the Bedroom slowly opened and Jagger walked out
looking down at Benji, with the slightest Hint of a tear in his
eyes, "He wrote this?" Jagger asked, "The day
after you were born" Benji answered, Jagger shook his head
and sat down next to Benji.
"You know I didn't mean all I said before, I want you to
still be my Father" Jagger replied, "You do?"
Benji asked still a little shocked, "Yea" He stated,
standing up and watching as Benji stood up, "So If I have
any more questions about my real father" Jagger started
sounding a bit nervous, "I'll have your answers" Benji
replied putting an Arm around Jagger's shoulder.
Amy stood at the Door Frame smiling to herself, With her arms
crossed over her chest she stared towards the two. With the small
embrace Jagger and Benji shared Amy felt a passing of Warmness
across her back and the same warmth drawing itself around her
shoulders. Turned her head over her shoulder and Looked to the
Mirror that was on the wall and saw the Reflection of Deryck in
the Mirror, shaking his head at the Newly formed Family. "I
love you" Amy mouthed towards the Mirror, The glimpse of
Deryck slowly faded away as she felt Jagger and Benji embrace
her.
