Patrick's Pov

We made it to the hotel, it was one of the most expensive one from the city. When I was younger I never really pictured myself in a place like this... It was a really good feeling.

"Okay Patrick, we are all installed. If you want, you could sleep for a while?"

I shook my head, "no I'm not tried... I really just want to go out."

He smiled. "Anything you want...and I know just the perfect place to start."

After a fifteen minute drive I was in front of the place that started all this. The same coffee shop where I met Peter, a months ago.
"I really missed this place." he said.

"I did too, it reminds me of when I started to play and-"

"The first day we met..."

"Yeah, that too... Although I never made it far in my music career... I loved playing here every night."

"You were amazing just like the first night I saw you... Patrick if anyone else saw how amazing and talented you were that night, do you think you would be with them instead if me?"

"To be honest, I don't know... Peter you are indeed a gentleman and anyone would- wait does all this have to do with the conversation, we had last night?"

"Patrick... Do you think I'm capable of killing myself?"

I shook my head, "no, but that doesn't mean I don't doubt you would try... Peter, it's not good to talk like that, especially now since I'm-" I was about to tell him everything, until I felt his lips against mine. My eyes widen and I pushed him off me. "Peter, please-"

"Are you embarrassed, of kissing me in public?"

"No, it's not that. Peter I really need to tell you something-"

"You are right Patrick... I'm not capable of killing myself, but trying wouldn't hurt. When Dale left me, I was empty inside with no reason to want to continue. But then I looked into the eyes of my baby boy, and saw she gave me someone that needed me, after she died... I raised Pete, from right and wrong. I taught him everything, to become someone great. Yet, he betrayed me... His own father. He knew how much-"

"How much what? Peter what were you about to say?"

He shook his head. "Nothing, forget it Patrick. We are here to have fun and talking about all this isn't good... Anyway, I'm going to the restroom real fast."

"Okay." I looked as he went inside the restroom and instantly stood up and walked towards a public phone that was close to the stage.

I looked back making sure Peter wasn't calling and dialed Pete's number. "Hello?"

"Pete..."

"Trick are you okay? I've been worried. Where are you?"

"Pete, what's wrong? I thought Peter told you we were in Chicago."

"Chicago... Patrick my dad lied. He didn't tell anyone where he was going, I think he knows about us."

That's why he's been acting that way. "Patrick, tell me where you're staying at...and don't tell my dad anything."

"Pete, he wouldn't hurt me..."

"I hope not, I'd never forgive him if he did."

I shook my head. "Pete, I'm going to tell him... Then I'll fly back home."

"No Trick, we agreed we were both going to tell him..."

"That's now kinda impossible... But all give you the address to the hotel..." I gave him the name and the room we were in.

"Okay, I'll be there soon... I love you."

"I love you too." I said before hanging up.

"Who do you love, if I may ask?" Peter says behind me. I turned around and met his gaze. "You know who... There's no need to act dumb anymore, Peter."

He smiled, "you're right... And I really want you to explain to me why?"

I nodded, "okay..."

"Not here... Something so despicable should be said in private, let's go back to the hotel." I agreed again, and we headed back.
