Raf gets there, doing some last minute cell phone conversing to make sure he's in the right place. And then he goes into the cafe, really annoyed by now. He spots Aiden easily enough, and goes over to him, "Do I get to know why I just drove six maldita hours to get here now?"

Aiden nods and lifts his shades slowly, trying to force the tears away.

When he sees the expression on Aiden's face (and the black eye), he sighs, his anger deflated. He reaches out and offers Aiden a hand up, "C'mon, let's just go."

"I'll pay for the gas." Aiden offers weakly.

"yeah, yeah. That's fine, ok?" Rafel helps Aiden up, and then wraps an arm around him, leading him out to the baron.

Aiden nods and climbs into the passenger's seat. He quietly slips a full throttle into the cup holder on the driver's side.

Raf smiles a little silently, then starts up the car and the music again, and heads back in the direction of home.

Aiden is silent for the first hour. Then he starts talking. "I wasn't visiting my uncle." he says, barely audible over the music.

"You weren't?" Rafael asks, turning down the music some, so he can hear better.

Aiden shakes his head. "I was visiting my dad." he says. "Like, my real dad. My parents divorced when I was five, just before Liz was born."

"I don;t like to tell people." Aiden admits. "My dad wasn't... the nicest man. He drank alot. And when he drank, he got really mean. Mom left him because he was hurting her, and hitting her." he says. "But he'd never done anything to me, and he'd gone through rehab and s**t... I thought it would be ok..."

"But it wasn't. And he beat you up?" Rafael asks, wanting to look at Aiden, but yeah, eyes on road is important for driving. So instead, he reaches over and puts his his one hand on Aiden's knee.
