Omar looked over at me as he pulled the car over. " I remember how my mom would constantly yell at me , last year she told my cousin I was gay just so he could beat me,
She used to make me read articles on how gays die of aids, and a couple of times she would try and force girls on me to ' de gay me ' she would say I truly believe she lived to make my life a living hell" Omar voice was pained

I started Omar I'm-"

" am I a bad person for not feeling bad or missing her" he turned and looked at me
" No Omar not at she was awful and cruel to you I seen what she had did to your chest" his mother had burned him after he told her that he was gay .

He gave a quick laugh to keep from crying " Even though I killed her & she's dead I still don't feel as free as I thought I would" a tear rolled down his cheek. I un buckled my seat belt and leaned over giving Omar an awkward hug trying to comfort him. As we hugged I could hear & see all the terrible things that woman had done.

The fur ball named axel quickly scurried onto Omars lap.
"See even axel knows you shouldn't beat yourself up over this " I said giving a genuine smile.
Omar picked axel up nuzzling him under his chin
" yeah he even saw the wicked Bitch in action a couple of times"
Omar replied

I could feel Omars mood lighten up. " alright so you wanna switch I can drive the rest of the way" I asked Omar

" yeah I'm tired as hell talking about the wicked Bitch of my life is draining plus after all that fighting& stopping you from getting shot was tiring" Omar said jokingly.

" I know I know thank you or whatever for saving my life" I said as I got out the car walking to the drivers Side. Switching with Omar.

" So how exactly did you keep Axel in a bag this whole time" I said as I started the car

" Because I can talk to him "
Omar said as he pet the ferret

" no shit Sherlock I can talk to him too but he can't talk back"
I said sassy
" Yeah he can smart ass that's the reason why I got him. When I went to the pet store all the other animals sounded miserable or bitchy axel was the only one who was nice and happy I didn't want to by a pet to be miserable with soo axel seemed like the perfect choice plus he cute as fuck" Omar said

" okay so when in the hell did you Learn to talk to animals Dr. Doolittle" I said chuckling
" Bitch um forever. You remember how I told you my mom would always give away my pets eventually it was because she caught me talking to some of them" Omar said nodding while he tickled axel

" I wanna learn how to talk to animals and be doctor Doolittle too " I said wining

" ok so you know how you focus on the way someone is feeling & you sift through all there emotions" he said as he handed over axel
As the furry creature sat in my lap I pulled over in front of Rite aid

" ok so it should be easy for you since you already know how it feels and the basics just try to read his mind" Omar said

I picked axel up and started to focus on all on axel. I closed my eyes taking deep breaths I started to feel The ferrets emotions. He was hyperactive ready to explode with energy I could tell that he wanted to make Omar feel better . I pushed past his emotions and I did it I could hear Axel it was so weird it left my head with a tingly feeling. Axel sounded like a pre teen boy
Voice masculine but high pitched

' you smell nasty'
-Axel

' uh rude you little shit '
-Gabe

' watch your mouth don't talk to him like that'
Omars voice rung in my head
' You smell nasty too '
-axel
' and you smell like a zoo '
- Gabe
