twenty-øne

Niall pulls the car into the driveway and parks his car. He looks at his youngest son, who looks like he was deep in thought. Niall took a deep breath as he stops the car.

" Let's get inside baby." Niall says. Brendon nods his head and opens the passenger door. Niall opens his door and walks through the garage into the house along with Brendon.

Once inside they slip their shoes off and walk into the living room. Before Brendon could run off anywhere, Niall grabs his hands and makes him look at him in the eye.

" We're going to talk about tonight, right now. Get out of your dress shirt and pants and get into some pajamas. I'll make us some tea while you're changing and when you're done, you come back down here. I have to tell you a lot of things and you have to tell me a lot of things. Okay Bren?" Niall says.

" Okay daddy." Brendon says. Brendon releases his hands from his dad's and was about to walk upstairs, but then stopped on the first step.

He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He proceeds to say," Daddy, I love you."

Niall smiles at his youngest," I love you so much Bren."

Brendon walks upstairs as Niall walks into the kitchen. He starts to warm up the tea kettle and grabs two tea cups. As Niall was waiting for the kettle to warm up, he checks his phone for the time. It was close to midnight and Drew was still not home. Niall worried where Drew was because it was extremely late.

The kettle finishes warming up and Niall pours the water in both the cups. Niall grabs his favorite kind of tea and Brendon's favorite tea. He puts them in the tea cups and then proceeds to pick up the cups. He walks into the living room to see Brendon sitting on the couch looking at his phone.

" Here, baby, I have your tea." Niall says. Brendon looks up at Niall and smiles a small smile.

" Thanks dad." Brendon says. Niall walks over to Brendon and hands him his tea.

" There you go baby." Niall says. He sits down next to Brendon. Niall takes a sip of his tea and looks at Brendon," Baby, please tell me what happened that lead up to tonight."

Brendon takes a deep breath and sips his tea. He couldn't make eye contact with his dad, he felt too embarrassed.

" I don't even know how I got there, but I remember being tired at the dance and at first Ryan wouldn't take me home, but eventually he said he would take me home. We got in the car and I didn't recognize where he was driving and then he stopped in an abandoned parking lot. Little did I know, but all of a sudden he was on top of me taking off his pants and, daddy, I didn't know what to do so I hurt him and ran away. Daddy, it was so scary. I thought I was going to get raped from someone I liked." Brendon says breaking down at the end. Niall grabs Brendon's tea and places it on the table in front of them. Niall places his tea next to Brendon's cup and wraps his arms around Brendon.

" It's going to be okay baby. I'm so sorry this had to happen to you at a young age." Niall says. Brendon started to cry again.

" Why did this have to happen to me?" Brendon sobs.

" It's okay baby. This stuff happens to a lot of people sadly and it sucks you have to be one of them." Niall says. Brendon releases from Niall's hug and looks at him. He wipes away his tears.
