Beyond Acceptance Page #3

---

He understands the tie of true love.

A love that thinks of other's needs,

that considers what is best for them.

That puts personal preference, personal desires,

and personal pleasures behind the needs of others.

Ultimately, true

love is a love that...

Evans, it's okay. Buddy.

Hey! It's okay, Evans!

Give me the peanut butter.

Look at this huge mess you've made.

And then I failed my dive. It

was the worst meet ever, Rachel!

Evans, get out of my room!

Just a minute Rachel;

Evans is being a twerp.

Evans get out from under there!

Why are you so annoying? Stop it!

Sorry, Rachel. So...

Where do you hid when you're afraid?

Turn the page.

Evans, we're gonna turn the page now.

Evans, that was a good

book. Look what you did!

Yeah, he totally said that!

Well if it was me, I would have

told him that he was being a jerk!

- He's so cute though.

- Totally! But did you hear what he did at prom?

Oh, that's right. You weren't there.

I... forgot. Why couldn't you come again?

- Mom thinks I'm too young.

- What about your dad?

He just agrees with her.

Yeah. Well, at least they said you

get to come to camp later this summer.

- Yeah, but that's a whole month away.

- It's not so bad.

Anyway, I wanted to show you

what Josh posted last night.

He's kinda strange. How

do you deal with him?

I actually wanted him to come, but

now I can't wait until he leaves.

You're not keeping him? I thought you

guys like adopted him or something?

Well, we thought we would, but he

doesn't really fit. It's... awkward.

- Oh, that's too bad.

- Well, it's not all bad.

At least when he's around, mom and

dad let me do more of what I want.

But, he kinda creeps me out.

It's like living with a ghost.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

Evans. Stop it! Evans.

Evans.

Clean this mess up right

now! It's not funny.

- I know.

- Evans, pick it up!

- Maybe we should just do it.

- No, he needs to learn consequences.

Evans, pick it up!

- Come on, Jen. Let's just do it ourselves.

- Fine. But I'm going to tell mom!

This behavior is

completely unacceptable!

I can't wait until he leaves!

Is he always like this?

Why are you so annoying?!

Evans, that was a good

book! Look what you did.

Evans, get out of my room!

We don't act this way in church!

- Evans! -

Evans. -Evans!

What more could you

want? How could you?!

I gave you everything and this what

you did. This is how you repay me!

By humiliating me.

Greg?

Greg!

Evans, it's okay. It's

okay baby. It's okay.

Evans. Shhh... shhh...

Why can't I get this right?

I don't know what to do God?

I don't know how to help you

Evans! I don't know how to help you!

Okay, great. I will

be in touch. Thank you.

- Your wife, Stacy, she's in marketing, right?

- Yeah, why?

I was talking to a potential client, but they're too

small for us. I was thinking of referring them to her.

Is that a problem?

No, that's fine.

- Are you jealous?

- No.

So tell me. How does that work

with both of you in marketing?

- I don't think you'd understand.

- Why not?

Have you ever tried to provide

for an independent person?

You're right. I wouldn't understand.

It's just that...

Well what about you? You've been successful.

When are you gonna settle down, start a family?

Me? Come on. What would

I want with a family?

I'm on track to getting everything

I want. How's a family gonna help?

There's more to life than having

everything you want, Vincent.

So, do you want me to refer

these guys to your wife or not?

Yeah, go ahead.

Hi Steve, it's Stacy Border.

I'm excited to talk with you about some

new ideas I have for your ad campaign.

Give me a call when you

get a chance. Thanks, bye.

Hi! It's Stacy Border. I

just got your email today.

I'm sorry I've been

busy; I'll get right on...

I see. No, that's okay.

Thanks for considering me.

Evans?

Evans.

Evans?

Evans!

Aaron, it's Evans.

I think he ran away.

No, I don't know where he went. I

took my eye off him for one minute.

Okay, please hurry.

Evans!

Evans!

Evans!

I can't believe this is happening.

I should have been watching.

It's all my fault.

Evans!

Evans!

Evans!

We aren't really sure what his mother's

circumstances were when Evans was born.

I know she was alone. His father is still

a total unknown; no one ever came forward.

I doubt that his parents were

ever in a committed relationship.

All his mother left

him was his name, Evans.

According to the hospital reports, he ended

up staying there alone for about two weeks.

Thankfully he was placed with his first family and

was able to have some stability for three years.

- Those were the best years of his life.

- What happened?

Well, they were in the middle of the adoption

process, but through tragic circumstances,

the process was halted

and never resumed.

- Does he remember those... circumstances?

- I don't really know.

I think you're doing well. You may not see

much change, but I think you're making progress.

Mom, have you seen my phone?!

She never parts with that thing,

how could she loose it? No I haven't!

This should help.

Evans, did you take my phone?

Did you?

You shouldn't take things that

don't belong to you. Give it to me.

Evans!

I can't believe you

threw my phone. Brat.

Stop it! Evans!

Ugh! Don't even think about it!

Come back here you little twerp!

Why Evans!

Come on you guys, knock it off.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- What happened?

- He's being a brat. He stole my phone.

Can I please have the salt?

Sure.

Wait. Evans, first you have to

apologize to Jennie for what you did.

- Sorry.

- That's good enough for now.

- Aaron.

- Sit down!

You listen to me. If you break one more thing in

this house, you're out. Do you understand? Out!

What happened to us Aaron?

What happened to you?!

Me?! He's been pushing the

limit since the day he got here.

You know that treating him that way

goes against everything we stand for.

What are we gonna tellAmy?

How should I know? You call her.

This was your idea to begin with!

Aaron, please.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, me too.

This is so overwhelming.

Nothing seems to reach him.

I feel more like his

babysitter than his mother.

Come here.

- What are we gonna do?

- I don't know.

- Priority A. Check this out.

- What?

All that work on the

Rhichtor project paid off.

Apparently they liked us

enough to pass our name on.

- This could be good. They want us?

- Yeah, I got that covered.

Shouldn't Dave be working on this?

I'm mean, he is our boss, and it

is his job to bring in new clients.

Yeah, but we both know

who does it in the end.

Besides, Dave isn't gonna be

around here much longer anyway.

- For now, I need a cost estimate. Tonight.

- Tonight?

- Don't make me look bad now!

- But... Never mind.

Bye, thanks for driving.

- Bye Mom.

- Have a good week, okay?

- Okay.

- Bye Dad.

- Have a good trip, Jennie.

- Are you gonna say goodbye to Evans?

- Why should I?

Bye.

Where is he?

He had a rough day. I had
