Nobody's POV

The sky was grey and sad. Ran pattered as it hit rooftops and umbrellas around the busy city centre. The weather matched perfectly to the events about to take place.

Tommy red and white converse hopped over the puddles as rain hit his already wet hair. He walked through the empty sidewalks with music blasting in his ear. He was at peace. It may not make sense but moments like this, Tommy values highly. But his beautiful peace was interrupted by a rough shove. As he fell to the cold concrete he looked up to see his father.

"What do you want?" Tommy asked sternly, wiping off his knees as he stood up.

"Why are you doing this?" He asked Tommy, anger lacing his voice.

"What do you mean?" Tommy asked, extremely confused. His father just let out a sickening chuckle before answering.

"Taking me to court, trying to throw me in jail, I'm your father" He explained, the dark bags under his eyes seeming worse than they used to be.

"I'm surprised you still think enough of yourself to call yourself a father" Tommy responded looking the man he used to call his dad in the eyes.

"Enough of the games" he said, his expression changed dramatically as he pulled out a gun, hiding it under his coat but still making it visible to Tommy.

"I want you to tell the officers it wasn't me who stabbed you" he explained. Tommy stuffed up, but didn't look fazed by the demand.

"No"

His father looked at him, his eyes filled with confusion. Tommy began to turn away before the man spoke out.

"Where are you going" he asked angrily.

"Away from you" Tommy responded nonchalantly.

"I can shoot you right now you know" the man said angrily.

"But will you?" Tommy asked, staying put. The tension in the air couldn't be cut with a knife.

"I saw that look in your eyes" Tommy began keeping his back to the other man

"It was regret"

"No matter how hard you try to convince yourself I'm a useless child that ruined your life, you still remember when we were a happy family, and I was the little boy you loved oh so dearly" Tommy explained, his father knew he was right, he was speechless.

"So go ahead shoot me, I dare you" Tommy finished turning back to his father. Tommys father looked at him, with a frozen expression. He suddenly dropped the gun, it went off as it hit the ground, but no one was hit. Just as the silence became to much 2 blaring police cars hastily pulled up behind the older man. The two blondes kept eye contact and didn't say a word as the police officers ran up two the man and put him in handcuffs, dragging him from his son.

"Thanks for calling us, we'll keep him away from you" one of the officers said.

"How did you call us anyway" one officers asked.

"I've learned how to text from my pocket" He explained and the officers nodded.

"We'll give you a ride home" one of the officers told Tommy.

"Oh, thank you" Tommy smiled, following the officer and sitting in the back of the car. Tommy sat and thought about the events that just took place, looking out at the rainy sky's.
