"Son!" Ashton screamed. Agitated and desperate. "You never called me son! I was married to Helena but you never called me that!"
I have never seen Ashton like this before. He seemed deranged.
"Well, did you ever treat us as one of your own?" dad asked. "You have to earn my trust and respect first before I call you one of mine. And Edison has done both. Something you have never done and will never do in this lifetime."
"What?" Ashton looked at my dad in disbelief. "I was married to her you know? I think you have forgotten that. She was mine first. She will always be mine." He looked at me with malice.
Jeff reacted instinctively by standing before me. While mom and Bryanna stood closely to my side. I held onto my mother's hand. I am so scared. I can't help but think of that night were Ashton beat me. And I don't want that to happen again.
