Henry woke up in his bed, he had no clue how he had gotten there but he was, he glanced up at the clock on the wall. 11:30 shit Henry Jumped out of bed remembering the horrifying dream he had last night. He walked out of his room and notice some suitcases in the living room, weird, he walked into the bathroom and took off his shirt and looked in the Mirror and froze. There was dry blood on his face in a splatter shape, he looked down at his shirt and pants and realized they were the same as in his dream. He held his shirt up and his heart rate quickened seeing the blood on it.

"MOOOOOOM!!" Henry screamed as he ran down the stairs breathing heavily instead of finding his mom he ran right into his uncle falling back, "heyyyyy Henry, good to see you again bud" he reached his hand out to help him up. "u-uncle josh?" Henry took his hand pulling himself up, he was so confused. He had a gray tank top White shorts and had a bad of potato chips in his hand. josh smiled "damn last time I saw you you where still a little boy, now your all grown up" Henry forced a smile "I must be getting old"

Henry nodded and tried to speak but nothing he said maybe any sense, "hey, hey, hey, hey calm down kid, what's wrong?" Henry took a deep breath and started talking again just a little more understandable "wh-where's my dad, w-what happened s-something happened to him I- where, wha-what" he was still breathing heavily. His uncle went quiet and he bent down to his hight "Henry" there eyes met and Henry's where already started to water before his uncle even started to talk again. "Henry bud, your father's" he paused momentarily "Your father died in surgery last night" Henry's blood ran cold and he went still.

"H-he's" that was all he could muster, he couldn't think straight hell he couldn't think at all his mind was swirling. He fell into his uncle's arms hugging him tightly, josh held him patting his back comfortingly as the boy started sobbing into his arms getting his shirt wet with tears. "But hey look in the bright side, me and sally get to spend more time with you and your sister"

Henry nodded but he didn't know how that was an up he didn't want to see his aunt and uncle let alone see them all because his dad was dead. "Well you better get to school kiddo" josh said patting him shoulder and with that he left the room. Henry went back upstairs to the bathroom and turned on the shower dropping his bloody clothes on the floor as he slowly got in, the water was hot and slightly burned his skin.

"Fuck" he mumbled, "I have that big writing test next week" this was going to be a long last couple of weeks until summer. He couldn't help but wonder what William's summer was going to be like, he never did anything wrong William's father deserved what he got. He was being punished for fighting back, it wasn't fair but William didn't care he was just fine with it and it confused Henry.






















"Don't worry about every little thing Henry, it'll all work out in the end"
