Mine (HOOD) [COMPLETED]

30; After Party

Calum's POV

Tommy's friends has left the party and they told him that they had a great time and for a second there, I have a vision that my son is going to be the guy that throws sick parties! The guys have also left for a drink with Rachel, understanding that I want some alone time with my son.And William Prick has left cause he has a meeting to attend to, so he said. But I gotta say that this party is quite a hit for my Tommy, I hope I can attend more parties to come. Of course Shay's words keeps on repeating in my head, like what if I'll be super duper busy and I can't attend his 16th birthday party, or his graduation party or even his pre-senior party! I want to be the kind of dad to party with his buddy, but I love my career and a problem about my career is opportunities come unexpectedly. Like the MTV sessions came like 3 days before, and not to mention appearences on television shows to promote the upcoming album, the tour! I'm gonna have less time to spend with Tommy but I will always try my best to be there for Tommy.

Looking at Tommy right now, while he rips of the wrapping paper of his presents, it's worth it. It's worth it to be here, he's worth fighting for. He might be my only son, and I'm not gonna leave him like I left my first love, I have tainted her, scarred her and hurt her. She doesn't trust me . I mean she does, when it comes to Tommy cause I've proven myself but not to her, she's a tough one to crack as always but when I got a glimpse of a little crack of her during that summer, I couldn't help but to fall in love with this beautiful person which Alana told me that I'm no where near to.

I gotta agree, she's right.

I'm nothing like Shay, and hell! Maybe I don't even deserve her, she's too good for me. Way too good. I always tell myself that I can make her happy, I can make her loosen up and let go. A dumbass like me, can actually make her happy and no one can make her happy like I do. Especially like that prick, Will. I doubt that he can make her happy like I did, but I guess in some point, we have to grow up and accept that maybe I'm just not right for her right now. Then, yes cause we were young and free but now, with Tommy and responsibilities and careers getting in the way, I might be a flop compared to William Prick.

"Cal, you don't have to stay and clean up. I could do it, you know?", Shay told me while picking up plastic cups and plates and putting it in a garbage bag.

I shake my head because it's totally unacceptable, "it's my son's party too. I'm not a guest, hence I got to clean up too. Don't get me wrong, I rather go and have a drink with the guys but you know, I gotta set a good example for our growing son here". I look at my son as he is still unwrapping his many presents.

"Daddy! Uncle Luke got me a guitar! But why is this one has no strings?", I walk to him and kneel down one knee and take a look at the guitar and it's actually the guitar console for Guitar Hero. I chuckled to myself, "this is guitar hero, buddy".

"Guitar what?", he asked me again and I asked him to unwrap the present from Micheal and as I have guessed, "a playstation".

"Lionel has one too! He plays games on it! But I don't think he has a guitar like this?", Tommy exclaims and I told him that his friend Lionel, is not as cool as him cause he's going to play the coolest game ever invented.

"What you got there baby?", Shay asks from behind and Tommy shows her the guitar with his big brown eyes widened with excitement.
