Jamie and Nathan were sitting on the couch at Dr. Truman's office during their first therapy session talking to Dr. Truman.

"It makes me so mad that my son's coach was abusing him," Nathan said. "And you know what else makes me mad? The fact that my son waited until the abuse got so bad to come and talk to me."

"You blame me?!" Jamie shouted.

"That's not what I said and you know it!" Nathan shouted.

"Nathan, Jamie," Dr. Truman said. "Instead of screaming at each other, try talking calmly to each other."

"Son," Nathan said. "I just want to understand why you waited to tell me your coach was abusing you."

"I told you," Jamie said. "He threatened me and I was scared."

"You should've told me," Nathan said. "You're my son and I don't want anything bad to happen to you."

"I'm sorry Daddy," Jamie said.

"I'm sorry Jamie," Nathan said.

Jamie and Nathan gave each other a hug.

"Now throughout the week I want you try to work your problems out by talking about them instead of yelling," Dr. Truman said. "I'll see you both next week."

As Nathan and Jamie left the building, they ran into Sophia.

"Hey guys," Sophia said.

"Hey Sophia," Jamie said. "Where are you off to?"

"I just saw a movie with Beth," Sophia replied. "Beth left midway through the movie but I stayed for the whole thing."

"Why did she leave?" Jamie asked.

"She hated it," Sophia said. "Which is strange, because she begged me to go see it with her."

"So Sophia," Jamie said. "Do you have any plans tonight?"

"If you count watching TV until I fall asleep," Sophia replied.

"Sophia," Jamie said. "Would you like to go on our first official date tonight?"

"I'd love to!" Sophia said excitedly.

"I'll pick you in an hour," Jamie said.

"Okay!" Sophia cheered. "Oh god! What am I going to wear?"

Sophia ran off and Nathan looked at Jamie and smiled.

"My son is going on his first date with his girlfriend," Nathan said. "They grow up so fast."

Once he got home, Jamie got ready. As he began to leave Lily stopped him.

"Where are you off to?" Lily asked.

"I'm going on my first date with Sophia," Jamie replied.

"Okay, two things," Lily said. "You need to brush your hair."

"My hair is fine just the way it is," Jamie said.

"Second of all," Lily said ignoring Jamie, "your shirt is unevenly buttoned."

Jamie fixed his shirt.

"There," Jamie said. "Now I'm going."

"Brush your hair," Lily said. "It looks bad."

"Lily," Jamie said. "My hair is fine."

"Jamie," Lily said. "What's shirt without the r?"

"Oh come on Lily," Jamie said. "What is this? Middle school?"

"That's what kind of boyfriend she'll think you are if you don't brush your hair," Lily said.

Jamie marched upstairs, brushed his hair and came back downstairs.

"Happy now?" Jamie asked.

"Now you look like you have a comb-over," Lily said.

Jamie stomped his foot and screamed.

"Come on cousin," Lily said. "Don't pout or whatever the heck that was. I'll help you look nice for Sophia."
