Mother's Just A Title, A Title You Don't Deserve

{A third update in one night?! Woah! How?! Okay, enjoy ;)}
[Patrick's POV]
I was walking home, the same route I always take. Turn the corner, pass the bus stop, true to the right, make a left, past the crumbling building, past the playground, take another left, now you've arrived at my house!

I had my dark blue backpack slung over my shoulder, it was heavy but probably more heavy for me. Considering it dug into my shoulder putting a lot of weight on my bruises. The bruises my stupid mom had gave me.

Why would she do this to me? I'm her son, even though I hate saying that. She was never there for me. Why should I even bother anymore? If she knew I was gay, she'd hurt me even more than she does now, I was afraid of her. Terrified would actually be a better word to use.

She had these sudden outbursts, she'd act like all her problems were my fault, then take all her anger out on me. It has been this way since my father died. He used to be my best friend, the person word comfort me when I was at my worst.

He sent mom to rehab at one point, she didn't change much, and took care of me. He was the one who got me into music, he bought me my first drum set and guitar, he taught me how to play, he made me socialize at the playground little did I realize that that day is meet my best friends, Joe, Andy, and Brendon.

He had made me go talk to some boys he saw playing together in the sand box.

Patrick's Flashback

"But Daddy." I had said. "I wanna be with you. My dad had smiled and pushed my back softly. "Come on Tricky, they look like they need a fourth person to play." I sighed and began to walk over to the boys.
One had a Transformers shirt on, the other had a Spider-Man one, the third had a puppy dog one.
"Um," I said, they all look at me. "Can I, can I play too?" The one with the puppy dog shirt smiled. "Of course! We need another playmate! I'm Brendon." He beamed and I smiled back. "I'm Patrick." I replied, Brendon smiled again.
"That's Joe," he said, gesturing to the one with curly brown hair wearing a Transformers shirt. "And that's Andy." He said, now pointing to the one wearing the Spider-Man shirt.
"I like your shirt." Andy said quietly, looking at my Ninja Turtles shirt with wide eyes. "The Ninja Turtles are awesome!" Joe nodded and I smiled. "I love the Ninja Turtles! Donatello is my favorite one! One day when I grow up, I wanna be him!" I replied. They all smiled and agreed.
We then played The Ninja Turtles until we had to go. At this point, my dad had been socializing with Andy's mom, Joe's mom, and Brendon's dad. We got their phone numbers and from then on we always played Ninja Turtles at that park.
I thank my Dad so much for making me socialize with them that day!
Later on once I'd gotten to third grade I met Mikey and Ray on the playground.
I introduced them to Brendon, Joe, and Andy. We all became really close friends from then on!

End of Flashback

My dad and friends were the only people I had come out to. My dad would practice with me, we'd watch movies together, we'd play together, he'd always have a smile on his face, and he'd always knew how to cheer me up.

We had a secret hand shake and we both had secrets that only we knew about each other! He snuggled with me when I was cold, he carried tears on his shoulders for me, he always let me talk to him, we both knew each other's favorite cream, and he used to play Ninja Turtles with my friends and I.

Everything was perfect, until he was killed. Killed by a psycho at his work one day! My dad worked at a record store, he used to let me come in and look at all the disks, records, and instruments! It was like heaven in a store!
