From The Start

chapter 5

"It's my father, Pete he does this to me."

"Patrick oh my god, im going to kill him." I could feel my blood boil. How could someone hurt this beautiful man, and let alone have it be his father. I get up from the bed and walk to the bathroom.

"Pete, please don't be stupid, don't kill him!"

"Patrick, why not. If he his hurting you like this and threatens your life." I stop talking to run my hand over my face. "We have to do something, tell the police or something Patrick"

"Pete don't you think that I already tired, my father is very close with the law. They tell me he could never do any such thing."

"'Trick could you come back to the bed please, your hurt and you shouldn't be standing." He shakes his head yes and walks back to me. He crawls back into the bed and settles against me. I kiss his head, and wrap my arms around him. "Lets get some rest okay Patrick?"

"Promise youll be here when I wake back up?"

"I Promise You."

~~~~~~~~Time Lasps after the nap~~~~~~~~

"Pete, Pete!!!!" I yell threw the house. He's not here. He lied to me

"Pete!! Answer me god damn it!!!"

"Patrick, trick whats wrong??"

"I thought you left me, im sorry"

"No, no don't be sorry."

"Where were you?"

"I was in the bathroom, ya silly goose."

"Oh sorry" I shake my head at myself.

Pete crawls up the bed so he is straddling me and sitting on my thighs. He puts his hand on my jaw bone and pulls my head up and leans in. I lean in the rest of the way. When we kiss I feel like ive been electrified, I can feel it all through my spine and down to my toes. We break apart and he climbs off, "Cmon trick I want to show you something."

"Okay" He helps me up, god I feel so useless, I feel like im worthless because ive been getting abused for so long, and continue to let it happen.

"Patrick, stop thinking. Stop thinking bad about yourself, please I can see it in your eyes your beating yourself up, you need to stop. I will always love you. Just like that night at the party. When I saw you laugh and smile, I couldn't get you out of my head. Ask Joe, poor kid I woke him up and everything.

"Pete I don't know if I can do it anymore. I cant go living this way. I want it all to end."

"Patrick why are you talking that this, I cant have you go, if you go I go. I want to be with you forever, there's no escaping me. I have you and im not letting go. I don't care how you much scream and kick or yell at me, I will never leave you. I promise I will never leave. Now you have to promise me the same thing.!"

"Pete, I..I promise, okay I promise"

"Do you mean it Patrick, I need you to mean it."

"Yes Pete I mean, I mean with all my being!"

Patrick gets up and walks downstairs. I get up to follow him. I see him make it to the couch, he's a little wobbly, but I can see that he is getting his strength back. He settles down and gets comfortable, grabs the blanket off the back of the couch and wraps himself in it. By the time he's done all you see his is little nose, eyes and hair sticking out of the top.

"Hey my little bundle of joy, are you warm?"

He laughs a little, "Yeah im warm now."

"Hey guys, im home, better me clothed, not kissing and nothing sexual."

"Damn it Joe, we are good!"

"Okay good, well Im just here to grab some clothes im gonna stay with Andy for a few days,"

"WAIT!!!!.... WHOSE THIS ANDY GUY!!!!"

"Oh Andy, he's like my boyfriend, but ya know who cares"

"Joe that's awesome, im so happy for you."

"Thank you Pete, means a lot! Oh hey Patrick, I didn't even see you there, You look like a burrito"

"Hey Joe, sorry im just feeling under the weather today" Patrick smiles lightly, and cuddles closer to me.

"Well you two have fun! Ill be back in a few days, shoot I might even bring Andy over!"

"That sounds like a good idea!"

Joe walks up the stairs, I wrap my arm around Patrick and kiss his forehead. "I love you Trick, okay. I really do, and I promise to always protect you."

"I love you too Pete, forever and always."
