I was walking back from the gym listening to my music through my headphones I stopped at my bedroom door when I realised it was open.
I heard shuffling from inside so I walked closer and stood at the doorway."Dad" I said when I saw him in my room
He turned around he looked furious I was confused until I saw the four boxes of my ADHD pills on the dresser unopened. I stood there frozen but Before he could say anything.
I ran
I could hear him shouting as I ran down the staircase passing Remi who had a confused expression I didn't stop.
"ROCCO!" Dad yelled
I saw Romeo and Leo come running from the kitchen as I made it to the bottom dodging them and quickly ran out the front slamming it behind me.
I ran until I was away from the house I didn't know where I was running.
I stopped running when I was far enough from the house I ended up at the park I had no clue what I was going to do dad looked so angry I knew I was going to get yelled at and I wouldn't be able to control my anger.
I walked over and sat on a empty bench and started watching the kids playing football with their fathers something I wished I could have done but instead he was always busy the last time I played football with dad was when mum and Nat where still here.

(The park)
While I sat there my phone kept constantly going off I ignored it and put my headphones on and played my music blocking everything out.
1 hour later
I'm still sitting on the bench when my phone started to ring I looked to see the the name Henry I decided to answer it.
"Rocco where are you" Henry said sounding concerned
"Who wants to know" I said
"I do your dad called me saying you ran out the house" he said
"Dad knows" I said
"Knows what" he said
"He found out I haven't been taking my pills,you should have seen his face he looked so angry" I said
"I ran out the house before he could say anything" I added
"Okay we can sort this out you just need to explain to him why you didn't take the pills" Henry explained
"Okay" I sighed
"Where are you I'll pick you up" Henry said
"I'm at Garfield park" I said
"Okay I'll be there in about 20 minutes" he said
"Okay" I said and ended the call I sat on the bench and waited
Time skip (20 minutes)
After twenty minutes I saw Henry walking down the path towards me until he stooped I front of me
"Hey are you ready to talk to your dad" he said I nodded
"Come on" Henry said as he slung his arm around my shoulder and led me to his car we both hopped in and drove off
I stared out of the window watching the buildings go by nervous about talking to my dad.
"Are you okay" Henry asked
"I'm fine" I lied
"Does dad know you found me" I asked
"No not yet" he said after around ten minutes we arrived back at the house
Henry parked and we both got out of the car and started walking to the front door. We both entered the house to see all my siblings in the living room they turned their heads when they heard us.
"Where's your dad" Henry asked them
"His office" Leo replied
"Come on" Henry said to me before I followed him up the stairs and to his office.
Henry knocked and we heard a 'come in' from the other side we both entered he looked up at us.
"Where the hell have you been" dad shouted
"He was at the park" Henry said for me
"NOW TELL ME WHY THE HELL YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TAKING YOUR PILLS" dad shouted
"I just can't take them" I said
"I don't care you will start taking them Especially now your little sister is living here" dad said
"No" I refused
"What" dad said
"No I'm not taking them" I repeated
"Who do you think you are talking too" dad fumed
"I'm your father" dad shouted as he walked closer to me
"You don't act like one" I mumbled
"What was that" dad asked
"I said you don't act like one" I said louder
"After mum left with Nat you neglected us, your work was more important to you than your own kids" I shouted at him dads expression changed
"I never neglected you" dad said sadly
"Well that's what it felt like to me" I said
"When was the last time we spent time as a family or the last time you hugged us" I said he stayed silent
"Exactly you don't even remember, well I do the last time you hugged me was when I was 5 years old" I said
"I couldn't take the pills because I would get sick,I would get stomach aches so bad I couldn't get out of bed and I would get dizzy at times so I stopped takeing them hope your happy now" I said
Before he could say anything I stormed out slamming the door behind me and went to my room.
Lorenzo's PoV
"Is that really how he feels" I said to Henry after Rocco left
"Did you know he stopped taking his pills" I said
"Yes I knew" Henry said
"Why didn't you tell me" I asked
"It wasn't my place to tell you" Henry said
"I told him that I will look for some alternative medication but I've had no luck yet" Henry told me
"He can't take those pills if they are causing him pain" Henry said
"I just don't want him to cause any harm to anyone" I said
"I understand what your saying but maybe you should spend some time with him and understand him" Henry told me
