Patrick pov

I was worried about my dad this morning. Today was the final day to pay back the debt to Wentz corporations. We were struggling with many payments, and the Wentz family came along decided to help us out. I think it was a bad idea since we knew we had to pay them back sooner or later but we had no other choice.

"Patrick your father's home" My mom says interrupting my thoughts.

I ran down stairs instantly wanting to know what was going to happen now. I heard my mother and father talking but I could barley understand what they where saying.

"Please, son have a seat" he says.

"Dad, what happened?"

"Well, Mr. Went... I mean Pete gave me two options either I go to jail or.."

He paused. he looked really upset.

"Or, what dad?"

"Patrick... Pete told me that the only way I could avoid paying him or going to jail would be if I agreed for you to marry him for an entire year."

Pete. I only met the guy a few times I never thought of him as anything else but the guy who agreed to help my family.

"Dad I-" he cut me off.

"No, Patrick I know you want to help but, I'm not gonna let you pay for my faults."

"What else is there to do if you go to jail then, our whole family falls apart!" I yelled.

My mom started sobing.

"I said no Patrick, I'm the one that got us into this mess and I'm the one thats gonna get us out."

I shook my head. "I'm not gonna just sit here and see them put you in jail."

"You have no other chioce, When I'm gone I want-"

"No!"

"LISTEN TO ME PATRICK, if I let you marry him who knows what could happen in a year,Who knows what that Pete Wentz boy has in mind."

I felt a hot tear flowing down my cheek. This can't be happening.

"You have to be strong Patrick, so when I'm gone I know your mother will be good taken care of."

I nodded.

"Ok, then tomorrow morning I'm going straight to Wentz corporations and telling Pete about my decision." He went up stairs along with my mom to try to get her to calm down.

I'm sorry dad but I can't let you do this, mom needs you, And it will be hard for us to see you in a cell.

I put on my jacket. Quickly and quietly heading out the front door and started walking stright to Wentz corporations.

Now it's time to tell Pete Wentz about my decision.
