PERCY'S POV

After the betrayal they dealt me, I became paranoid about making friends. I couldn't afford to repeat my mistakes; get caught up with bad company.Louis and Lawrence remained my only friends now. Since I couldn't bring myself to talk about the shit I put his sister through years back, I decided to let Lawrence be.

Phoebe was a little tolerant since that night in her room. I felt her warming up to me but not too much though. Just a little smile here,a reply there.just that but I was already blessing God for that. And it's all thanks to the little guy Xavier.
Sometimes I find myself feeling like he was a part of me or something..... I don't know. I only concluded that I liked the boy So much because of the love I had for his mother.

Plus,there was a lot about that kid that reminded me of myself. He was just....like little me minus being so attached to my mum.

That was because I never had a mum anyway. I was standing at the grocery store trying to fulfill a promise I made to him yesterday to get him chocolates.I've been heartbroken though. I had been the one tugging him in bed for the past three days since Harold hadn't been coming around often... I wondered if there's been a fight between Phoebe and him..

I had gotten used to it and looked forward to tugging Xavier in bed. It felt great and I began to wonder how exciting it'll be to be tugging my own son in bed, a son of mine With Phoebe.But yesterday Harold had come around and some way I was hoping the boy would choose me over him but he didn't and I practically went to bed sulking which was weird.

I got varieties of chocolates to the counter, paid for them ad headed out only to bump into Sam and Lucky. Great! I rolled my eyes.

"Look who we have here Sam,it's old Buddy Percy!" Lucky sang. Sam had a smug look on his face. How I wanted to wipe it off with my fist!

"Hei ma guy Percy wow you look good"

I stared at them, my face as hard as a rock.

"I Couldn't believe it when I heard you were in town but we run into your little girlfriend with the doctor last week and she confirmed."

My face hardened even more and my hands balled into fists

"You stay away from Phoebe you hear me?"

After all these years and they still wanted to bully me into staying away from her? What the hell was wrong with these people.

"Relax man it was pure coincidence."

*like hell it was!*

I glared at them as I made to walk out.

"See man, it's been ages and all that bad blood has passed. I mean we're grown men now. No need for pettiness and silly games. We just want to make peace. You know we are buddys, the group's incomplete without you. why don't you come for shagie's birthday tonight at the frat House. It'll be fun and I know you'll like it. We can let go of the past and do some catching up.

Sam invited me.

"Like I can ever trust any of you. You went out of your way to ruin my life and I thought we were friends! Just stay away from me."

"Come on man you can't be serious. You still pissed about that little prank? That girl really did a number on you huh"

Sam chuckled

"What did you say to me?"

I was in his face now. Lucky managed to step between us. Shoving me back lightly.

"Guys please don't start. Look Percy we are here for peace. We wanted to apologize you know."

"Whatever."
