Jeff snapped his wrist back and growled. "You. Know. Nothing." He stood up and stormed out of the food court.

Dain immediately got up and chased after Jeff. "You want to bet that I don't know?!" He grabbed Jeff by the shoulders and spun him around and pulled up his sleeve to show the crook of his elbow. There was a mess to small scars there. "I tried to overdose myself on heroin. Multiple times." He gave Jeff a hard look. "I know everything."

Jeff glared down at Dain but his eyes had tears in them. He opened his mouth to speak but couldn't make a sound.
-----
Kyle frowned. "Is there anything we can do?"

Yakov shook his head. "No."

Dain simply smiled at him. "It's okay. I can help you. If you want to trust me." He shrugged. "I play fairy godmother to a lot of people. It's kinda my thing." He smiled at Jeff again.

Jeff shook his head. "I don't need charity." He spat out. "Why the hell are you following me?!"

Kyle sighed. "I figured."

Dain's attitude dropped again. "Helping you isn't a ******** charity act, sweetheart." He was growling out his words. "Because I'm not going to let you go off and hurt yourself when in the end the real people you're killing are the ones who love you!" He was pointing back toward the food court where the girls were.

Jeff was not happy. All the thoughts that had been going through his mind since that morning were surfacing in a bad way. "They would be better off without me." Jeff stormed off back to the food court. "Girls. I'm ready to go."
Steph looked up at Jeff and cringed.
Katrina looked worried. "Everything alright?"
Jeff rolled his eyes. "Sure, whatever, lets just go."

Dain watched him leave and shook his head.

Maureen put and arm around Steph and hugged her.
Talia looked at Holly and whispered. "This feels like one of those 'Daddy just hit Mommy at the dinner table' moments."

Yakov went back to showing Brandon how to use the various tools in the kitchen and Brandon was suddenly very serious about learning.
Ally leaned in close to Marius and whispered. "It has become considerably less entertain."

Kyle sighed. He felt bad that he had ruined the good atmosphere.
-----
Jeff ushered the girls to the car. The whole drive back he was pissy. He was glad to make it back to the house. As soon as the car was off he just left without another word to the girls.
Steph clung to Maureen the entire time.

Marius nodded. "I agree."
~~~~~~
Maureen held Steph's hand as they walked back to their room.
~~~~~~
Talia put her bags in on her bed and went to go find Brandon.

After quite some time in the kitchen, Brandon was far more useful and was busy working on dinner by himself.
Yakov had gone up stairs in the hopes of preparing a surprise that would cheer Jeff up.

Jeff just wanted some alone time. As he neared the bedroom he stopped. He wasn't sure where Yakov was and didn't want to take the chance. He ducked off into the nearest room, which turned out to be a random bathroom. He shut and locked the door then slid down the wall. He started crying. What was with that guy in the mall? And why had he snapped at the poor thing? Had he really meant what he said?
Jeff shook his head trying to clear his thoughts. He found himself staring at the scars on his wrist.
-----
Steph let go of Maureen in their room and turned to her. "Why is Jeff..." She couldn't find the right word.
