When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore
That she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love i...

Charlie brought me to the theater so that I could wait for Neil to finish practice.
Since this morning, Charlie full filled my requests, he bought me a pack of cigarettes and carried me here.
The front doors opened, as the actors pilled out laughing with one another, Neil was the last one.
I waved once he saw me.
"See you guys later." He told them than made his way over to me.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I'm picking up my boyfriend." I said brushing hair away from his face.
"And I got some good news." He rose a brow.
I leaned up to his ear.
"My cycle is over, which means." I started nipping on his ear and he finally figured out what I meant.
"Then we better get back."
Neil quickly got the bike and we hurried our way back to school.
The bell rang for dinner as Neil and I made our way upstairs.
"Food!" A kid yelled as we laughed.
"Save some for us." Neil said.
Once the boys were gone, I pulled Neil into a kiss.
He kissed back immediately hands gripping my waist.
We stumbled towards his dorm as mine was to far.
I started to undo his tie as his hand fumbled with the doorknob.
He finally got it opened and we stumbled into his dorm, him pushing me up against the wall.
I opened my eyes for a second seeing his dad in his room.
"Babe." I said pulling away and pointed at his dad.
"Father." Neil said.
"Neil."
"Before you say anything please let me ex-."
"Don't you dare talk back to me... Please leave me and my son alone." Neil grabbed my hand.
"No, she stays." He said.
"Fine. It's bad enough that you've wasted your time with this this absurd acting business but you deliberately deceived me." I really wanted to punch him.
"How- How- How did you expect to get away with this?" Neil didn't say anything.
"Answer me. Who put you up to it?" I squeezed Neil's hand.
"Was it this new man? Keating?"
"No. Nobody p-- I thought I'd surprise you. I've gotten all A's in every class." Neil said.
"Did you really think I wasn't going to find out?" Mr Perry asked.
"Oh my niece is in a play with your son" says Mrs Marks. "No no no" I say. "You must be mistaken. My son's not in a play"." Neil looked down.
"You made a liar out of me Neil! Now tomorrow you go to them and you tell them that you're quitting."
"No I can't. I have the main part. The performance is tomorrow night!" Neil told him.
"I don't care if the world comes to an end tomorrow night you are through with that play!" Perry yelled as Neil said nothing.
"Is that clear?"
"Is that clear?" Perry yelled.
"Yes sir." Neil said.
Perry went to the door before turning back.
"I made a great many sacrifices to get you here Neil and you will not let me down."
"No sir." Neil said.
Perry walked out but I was going to let him get away that easily.
I stormed out the door to see him about to head down the stairs.
"Hey!" I said as he turned.
"You are an asshole." I said as he took a step.
"Excuse me?" He asked
"You heard what I said. Have you ever seen him act? of course you haven't. And if you did, you would actually see how amazing he is." I said.
"Your son has a real talent, a real chance to be himself and do something he loves. But he can't because you won't let him."
"You are not allowed to talk to me that way." Perry said as I laughed.
"Well I don’t give a hot wet monkey’s ass what you care for. If you don't want to see your son's true talent, then don't. But I will be there every step of the way to show him that someone actually believes in him." With that I turned and headed back into Neil's dorm.
He shut the door as I turned to him.
"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have done that, he just--"
I was cut off by him cupping my cheeks pulling me in for a kiss.
He slowly pulled away, resting his forehead upon mine.
"Thank you." I smiled.
"Don't need to thank me, I meant everything." He sat down beside me.
"I need to go talk to Keating." Neil said.
"OK. I should probably call my mom." I said as he nodded.
"But first, we had a plan." He replied before pressing his lips onto mine.
The phone was held up to my ear as it rang a couple of times until the person picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Uncle Victor?" I asked as I heard a chuckle.
"Allison, it's good to hear from you." I smiled.
"You too... uh, I wanted to know if you're busy tomorrow night?" I twirled the cord around my finger.
"I am not. Why?" He asked.
"There's a performance here tomorrow night and there's someone I think you would like."
