PROLOGUE
Marcus Roberts is the living definition of a Super Star. His name is all over practically every movie poster you could find, he earns millions of dollars for every movie he stars in, he's married to one of the Sim World's most gorgeous swimsuit models, with whom he has a beautiful baby girl. He has money, fame, power, everything a man could want. But he's missing one thing that he desires over everything else in the world, to establish a good relationship with his 12 year old son, Miles.
Despite how they feel about each other now, Marcus and Miles were actually very close when Miles was little. But after the death of his first wife and after getting re-married to Swimsuit Model, Simone Evans, Marcus noticed his relationship with Miles was slowly deteriorating, to the point where they go almost whole weeks without speaking to each other and Miles constantly sneaks out of the house to hang out with boys 4 years older than him. What he does when he's with his "friends" Is completely unknown to Marcus but he does know that whatever they do, it's not good or legal. He tries to talk his son out of hanging out with those boys but the talks normally end in loud arguments followed by Miles storming out of the house.
His son's rebellious behavior, combined with the stress of taking care of a 3 year old, shooting movie after movie after movie, and his wife's constant demands that include sending Miles to military school, are taking its toll on Marcus to the point where he has dreams about retiring from acting, leaving Simone, his daughter Angel, and Miles, and living out the rest of his life in complete solitude, only to wake up crying when he realizes it's only a dream. Can Marcus get his and his family's lives together before they completely fall apart? Or will he make his dream of leaving them a reality?
CHAPTER 1 SHOULD BE UP SOMETIME BETWEEN TONIGHT AND TOMMOROW EVENING(most likeky Tonight)
Aquarius:
Marcus has just returned home from a filming "Sim Monkies in Space 3: The Sequel's Sequel 1sw2" and, just like every other time he returns after being away from home for long periods of time, he tries to patch things up with his son, or at least get them to start speaking again.
After he said hello to Simone and Angel he walked upstairs to Miles room and lightly tapped the door
"Come in" he heard Miles say
"Heeeey Champ" Marcus said cheerfully
Miles gave a small nod, which was his way of saying "Hi, now leave"
Marcus ignored Miles usual attempts to get him to leave him and alone
"So...whatcha reading?"
Miles, sensing that his father wouldn't be leaving any time soon, decided to answer his question and hopes he becomes automatically uninterested and leaves
"It's a manga" Miles replied
"A what"
"A japanese comic book, this one is called Death Note"
Marcus immediately regretted asking him that. He had no interest in stuff like that and Miles knew that just as much as he did. Nevertheless, Marcus at least pretended to be interested, until he figures out how to change the subject
"Death Note huh? Sounds cool."
"Mmmhm"
".....Soooooo what's been going on since I've been gone
"The usual. I stay cooped up in my room, Simone finds something to blame me for and spends an hour lecturing me, and Angel keeps me up all night with her snoring and crying in her sleep."
"Sounds...fun"
Miles gave Marcus a look which was basically telling him "Yeah, about as much fun as getting your teeth pulled". Not being able to think of anything else to talk about, and wanting to get out of this rather awkward situation, Marcus says goodnight to his son and goes down to the kitchen to raid the fridge...just like every other time he gets home from work. Afterwards he goes into his bedroom and lies next to Simone, hoping for some "Welcome home, action". Unfortunately for him, "whoo hoo-ing" was the last thing on Simone's mind
"You need to do something about that boy!" Simone protested
"What did he do now" Marcus sighed
"He's been nothing but a burden since you left! Getting in trouble at school, neglecting his chores at home, disrespecting me! You know what he said to me!?"
"What" Marcus said, pretending to be interested
"Hey said 'Yeah right, like I have to listen to you! You're not my real mom' Can you believe that little son of a b...."
"Careful dear, remember what your therapist said" Marcus warned
"My therapist can go die in the deepest pits of hell! I want that child out of my house!" Simone yelled
"It's not just your house, honey. It's the family's house" Marcus said calmly
"He ain't in my family! He's made that perfectly clear, several times! Oh and another thing!"
Marcus let out a large sigh "What now?"
"He's still sneaking out at night and hanging with those trouble making teenagers! He tries to tell me they don't do anything but I ain't stupid! I know exactly what they do over there!"
"Really? And what exactly DO they do when he's hanging out with them"
"Isn't it obvious!? They're clearly getting high!"
"No way, Miles is too smart to do something like that" Marcus laughed
Simone laughed even harder "Oh, and what do you think they do over there"
"They play video games and read magmas"
"You mean manga?"
"Whatever, they're not doing anything bad. Let's just forget about it and go to sleep" Marcus said while turning on his side and going to sleep
Simone sighed "Whatever you say dear"
She kissed her husband on the cheek and followed his lead
"Hello? D-Roy? It's Miles."
"Heeey little man, what's up"
"Nothing. My idiot father just got back from shooting some dumb movie and just tried to talk to me. He's such a loser"
"Dude, your dad is like the highest paid actor in history and your stepmom is smokin' hot! He's far from a loser"
Miles threw up in his mouth a little. He was amazed that anybody fount that evil she-wolf attractive. Then again, he thought she was pretty hot before she became his stepmother so maybe D-Roy has a point
"Whatever. Are the guys over?" Miles asked
"Yeah, we're all over here getting completely stoned. You should come join us"
Miles smiled, he needed a good smoke to get his mind off of his sorry excuse for a family. And to escape Angel's loud snoring(he shares his bedroom with Angel in case you haven't caught on yet)
"Allright, I'll be there in like 10 minutes" Miles said
"Miles, open up" Simone said while knocking on Miles and Angel's bedroom door "Angel's nose is clogged up again, I can hear her snoring all the way from my bedroom, I need to give her her allergy medication"
Simone kept knocking but to nobody would answer the door. She turned the doorknob and was surprised to see that it was unlocked. Miles normally keeps his door locked at all times
"Miles" she whispered while opening the door "Sorry to wake you but I really need to give Angel her medi..."
"OH HELLLLLLL NO! MARCUS!!! MARRRRRCUS!!"
Aquarius:
"Whoo-hoo" D-roy exclaimed "Man I am soooooooo baked"
"I know right!" Nathan replied "Hey Miles. You doin' ok?"
"I'm more than ok. Man I'm so high, I can barely think straight" Miles said happily "I love coming here, you guys really know how to have a good time"
"Yeah, becuase spending hours killing your brain cells is sooooooo fun" Miles heard a familar a voice behind him say
"..oh God" Miles groaned
"Get the hell up!" Simon shouted "You're coming home"
"Uggh, don't yell so loud. You're ruining my buzz" Miles complained
"Do you think I care!? I said get up!"
Miles got up but he had intentions of going home. He was tired of Simone always trying to boss him around. "Who the hell does she think she is?" Miles would often ask himself "my mom?"
"You know Simone? I'm getting a little tired of you! Why do you care so much about what I do outside the house? It's not like you like me or anything! It's not like i have to listen to you!"
"The hell you don't!" Simone protested "You live in my house! Eat my food that I buy with my money! You piss not only in my toilet BUT in my bedsheets too! And while you live in my house and use all of my things! You're gonna follow my rules!"
Miles friends began snickering
"Dude, you still wet the bed?" Sam asked
"No!" Miles said
Simone laughed "Oh really!? I got the soiled bedsheets in my car! Don't think I won't show them to your little friends!"
"What is wrong with you!?" Miles yelled "Why are you always trying to ruin my life"
"I don't try to do anything but be a good stepmother, And as your legal guardian, I am ordering you to say good-bye to your friends, and get the hell in the car so we can go home where you'll have a nice long chat with your father!"
"Screw my father! He won't do anything"
"Really? He seemed pretty pissed when I left out the house to get you"
"See? If he really cared, he would have come gotten me himself!"
Simone raised her hand to strike Miles across the face, but right before her palm made contact with his face....
"heeeeeeey baby" D-Roy said "What's with all the negativity? Come sit down with us, have a few puffs"
"Boy, all that weed has been messing with your brain. Do you know who I am? Do I look like the type to get high?"
"Yeah, I know who you are. You're that hot swimsuit model I've seen on TV. You look good in that bikini. How about you slip into one of my sister's and we can have ourselves a nice, long, night"
"Um...are you getting fresh with me?" Simone asked
"Hell yeah! So what do you say?"
FIVE MINUTES LATER
"Simone! What did you do!?"
"He ain't dead if that's what you're thinking. And unless you wanna end up like him, I suggest you say bye to your friends who are still conscious, and go get in the car"
Miles opened his mouth as if he was gonna say something back, but then he looked at D-roy and decided that it'd be best to just do what Simone said
While in the car, Miles noticed Simone making several wrong turns.
"Um...our house is back there" He said
"We aren't going home yet" Simone answered "We're going to the laundromat and you're gonna wash those bedsheets"
madkitty:
Haha, manual labour always sends a message.
Aquarius:
Yep. the message being "Don't f[beep] with Simone" D-roy found that out the hard way
