Hidden (Peterick)

5

Patrick woke up at 7:50 almost jumping off... the couch? Then he remembered that he was at Pete's house and became totally aware of Pete's arms around him. He smiled to himself. But then he frowned. He never told his parents where he was last night. They were going to kill him. Not literally of course, because then his dad would lose his job. Then he started freaking out more because they were gonna be late for school and Patrick didn't have any clothes or anything like that with him. He started to shake Pete to wake him up.

Pete woke up confused and then smiled as he looked at Patrick.

"We're gonna be late for school!" Patrick said frantically.

"You skipped school yesterday and you're worried you're gonna be late?!" Pete said confused.

"Yes!" Patrick replied. He didn't want to be in more trouble than he already was.

"Well we're gonna be late no matter what now. School starts in ten minutes." Pete informed him.

Patrick groaned. "I need clothes and a tooth brush." he told Pete.

"Well I figured that." Pete said laughing. He sat up and took Patrick upstairs in his room. It was full of band posters with clothes laying all of the floor with his bass standing neatly in the corner. "Here." Pete threw black skinny jeans and a tight fitting gray shirt at Patrick. He also hands him a cross necklace.

"I don't need the necklace." Patrick told him. It wouldn't go well with his fedora he thought.

"Fine I'll wear it" Pete takes off his shirt and slips the cross around his neck. Patrick stares at him for a bit. His eyes lingering at his tattoo near the top of his jeans he accidentally slept in.

"My eyes are up here Stump." Pete said laughing. He slid on a plain black shirt and just kept the jeans he slept in on. Patrick blushes.

"Sorry I just cant believe your mom and step dad lets you get tattoos." He said looking at all the tattoos on his arms.

"Ha they don't notice anyway so" Pete replied laughing. He never asked for permission. His mom hasn't seen him since he got them so she wouldn't know and Shawn was always too drunk to notice.

"Well I really like them." Patrick said smiling.

"You gonna get dressed or not?" Pete asked.

"Yeah." Patrick walked to the bathroom with Pete's clothes and put them on. The jeans were a little long but oh well. He checked his phone.

Mom: Where are you?

Mom: Patrick you're really late!

Missed calls from Mom (6)

Mom: You missed supper we're really worried!

Dad: I'm disappointed in you Patrick

Dad: If you aren't home by 12 your going to be in a lot of trouble

Dad: Can't believe you skipped school

Patrick decided he'd text back so they know he is okay.

Patrick: I was at a friends sorry

Patrick walked back into Pete's room.

"Well let's go to school." Patrick said grabbing Pete's hand. Pete smiled and followed him to Patrick's car. Patrick drove this  time. Pete put on 96.9 and blasted the speakers playing air guitar and humming. After listening to Pete for a while Patrick started belting out the words.
