The next day, Philip got picked up from school by Theo's dad and the ride was unusually quiet.
Arriving at the building, Philip walked to the group therapy room but was stopped by Angelica, Peggy's older sister.
"You're Philip aren't you?" She said, glancing down at a list.
"Yes."
"You need to come with me, you're having private therapy."
She led him to a room and they sta on chairs opposite each other.
"Now Philip, tell me about your life before your father passed away."
Philip told her that his life was nice and how his dads were a lot of fun. He told her about the day John was shot and how everything went downhill. He told her all of his responsibilities and things he needed to do at home and his dad's episodes. He ended the conversations with Angelica stroking his hair as he cried.
"Thank you for telling me sweetie, it is the end of the session but you did a great thing thank you so much Philip."
He nodded and walked out of the room, wiping his wet eyes.
He climbed into the car and was dropped off at home.

Angelica waited for Philip to leave the room and get down the corridor before she picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello this is Child Protective Services." The voice spoke
"Hi, I'd like to report child neglect, a young boy called Philip Hamilton living at 1776 New York lane."
