My Comfy Place

Chapter 12

Type's POV
When I heard the story Tharn told my parents I got all these flashbacks from when I was younger. I remembered that I was his first friend. I let him meet my friends but they didn't really liked him, but I asked them to be nice when he was around, I really liked spending time with him and it was easy for us to hang out because our parents were friends. I felt really sad when we had to leave. My parents promised me that we would hang out after we left but we never saw each other again because his dad didn't react to the messages my parents send. But know I now why, its because he is dead. When I heard him telling how his mother treated him I was angry, like who in the right mind would treat their child like that, and then she tells his sister he is the bad kid. When I took him to my room I wanted to talk to him about everything that happened when we left and I wanted to know how long he knew that I was his childhood friend.

"Tharn, can we talk about what you talked about my parents?"
"Yeah sure."
"You don't need to tell me if you don't want to, but I just want to know the things that happened when we left, because before we left you weren't so lonely and you were always smiling."
"Okay, I will tell you."
"Okay."
"So you know that we were friends since we were young and when you was 4 you moved away, I still know that because of you I had many friends, and I know that they didn't like me. But when you moved they didn't talk to me anymore and nobody wanted to be my friend because I was weird they said. So I just went on going to school being lonely, at home I still had my family to talk to and I was super happy when I heard I was going to have a sister. But then after a year when I was 5 my dad died and then everything changed." He took a deep breath to hold his tears in that were forming in his eyes.
"So my dad died 3 months after my sis was born, my mother was so sad, but she blamed me that he died, I don't know how I was responsible for his dead because he died in a car accident. So since then she has been treating me like I was a slave in her house. I needed to do almost everything. I needed to wash the clothes, vacuum the house, do the dishes, set the table and when I was 7 I needed to cook to. And when my sister was old enough she got my room and I needed to sleep on the couch in the living room. And when I had one bad grade she would beat me until my ribs were bruised. She never took me to the hospital. When there was a school vacation she would travel with my sister when I stayed home. I worked since I was 14 so I could buy some clothes and a computer because I needed it for school. I worked my ass of for everything I had, so she didn't need to pay anything for me. She never celebrated my birthday. But when it was my birthday I would go to my dad's grave because he died a week before I was 6." He stopped for a while to breath because he was crying so much now.
"At school nothing changed either, everyone bullied me and when they would beat me they always blamed me for starting the fight. The teacher always believed them and I had every Wednesday detention. And then when I was 18 I came home from school and all my stuff stood at the door with a note on it. The note said that I couldn't live there anymore because I was a shame for the family. I needed to leave and live my life. I never got back there, but I still go to my dad's grave for my birthday. But when I was older I realised that I know why my mom said that I was the cause of my dads dead. When they where on vacation I was cleaning the house and I found my dads phone. I wanted to see our pictures again because we had a lot before he died. Then I saw he got messages from your parents and I was looking at my moms messages too, I saw that the day he died he was going to get my birthday present. Ever since then I felt that it really was my fault and that I deserved it to be treated the way I was treated. So ever since then I didn't try to be friends with anyone anymore. I lived my life alone, until I met you again and you changed everything again. You showed me that I was worth to have friends even I know you for a week again." He was smiling with tears.

I was crying because he didn't deserve this, it wasn't his fault that his dad died.

We were quiet for some time until we stopped crying. I was happy I have my childhood friend back, but I was sad that he had to go through all of these things, and that alone since he was so young.

"You know when I met you again after all these years I felt familiar, like I could be myself again after so long. But since I saw your parent I knew that it was you, you were my best friend when we were young." He said with a smile.
"You know Tharn, normally when I meet new people I don't care about them, I normally would be rude and slap you or something but when I met you I felt some attraction towards you that I never felt for anyone, but know that you remembered I know why I didn't do that to you."
"Yeah, why?"
"Its because you had this familiar feeling around you, but I ignored it because I thought it didn't matter, but I'm happy that I told u that you can stay at my home or else we still wouldn't know that we already knew each other."
"I'm happy too, I'm happy that I get too meet you again. I actually never forgot you, I just gave up on hoping I would see you again."
"I didn't forget you either but I just never expected to meet you again because your family ignored us, but it makes sense now."
"Yeah, I never knew that my mom wouldn't contact your parents about it. But now they know."
"Yeah, but I think its better that we go to sleep now, because all of these emotions today and you are hurt too so you need to rest enough."
"Yeah I think its good to sleep now because I'm a bit sleepy."
"You can sleep on the bed I will sleep on the couch. "
"You know, if you don't mind you can sleep with me on the bed." He said.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, we're friends right? And if you are scared I would do something, I'm hurt so I can't do anything to you."
"So if you are not hurt you will do something to me?" I teased.
"No thats not what I meant." He sulked.
"I know, I was just teasing you."
"Okay."

I went to the bathroom to put on my pyjamas. When I went out Tharn already had his pants switched but he had a hard time with his shirt. I walked over to him to help him.

"Need some help?" I asked.
"Yeah, its a bit difficult."

I helped him take his shirt off and I need to say he has a really great body. I thought that I was staring too long at him so I quickly took his pyjama shirt and helped him wearing it. I felt my body heating up so I looked away when I was done.

"Thanks for the help." He said.
"Its no problem, but we should sleep because its already late."
"Yeah you're right."

We laid in bed and after a few minutes we were asleep.
