3rd Person Omniscient P.O.V.

They were still hurt. The father and son were still hurt.

In the year of 1964, in the busy city of New York, lived a father and a son. Their names were Jake and Johnny. Jake was a train driver and he was 36 years old. He wasn't a very fun person to be with and kept to himself. Johnny was the paperboy and he was 10 years old. He was also a quiet person.

Both of them were still deeply depressed and hurt from the woman who raised and took care and made better people even better when she died.

Even though Johnny was only three years old when this tragedy happened, he looks at old photos and wishes that he could have a mother like the other boys in school.

One night, Jake came home early from work. So he waited in their small apartment for Johnny to come home after his shift of delivering papers.

It was 5:15 in the afternoon when Johnny arrived. "Dad!", he said, still shocked. "What are you doing home so early?". "I want to show you something", Jake said. And so both of them walked out of the apartment and into the busy streets of New York City.

They finally arrived at their destination. It was a small body of water with some boats in it.

"What are we doing here, dad?", Johnny asked, utterly confused. "This is a special place, Johnny," Jake said. "This is where I first met your mother."

Johnny's heart sank from his chest right down to his feet. "What about that?" Johnny asked, Johnny asked, not really looking forward to the answer. "Whenever I'm feeling lonely," Jake continued, "I come here and just...remember. " "Remember what?" Johnny asked. "Remember everything." Jake answered.

"Johnny, I want you to know that I'm always going to be here for you. And I know that you know that it has been hard for me being a single father and all, but I want you to know that I love you no matter what. And Johnny, whenever you are feeling lonely, I want you to know that you can come to me." By now, Jake and Johnny were close to tears. "And if you want to be alone, then come here. I promise it will help."

Jake and Johnny stood still for a few minutes, until they both came to their senses and grabbed each other for a hug. "I love you, Johnny," Jake said. "I love you too, dad."

And in that moment,right then and there, the both of them knew that they had each other. And even though they didn't have the nicest clothes, a big apartment, or a lot of money, they had each other. And that was all they needed to live a happy life each other.
