Hayden's POV
I went home and acted like everything was normal except one thing... when I got home I ran into the kitchen where I saw Dad and hugged him tighter than ever.

"Woah hey kid." He said then returned the hug. I said love you and then raced upstairs knowing Andrew wasn't at school and he wasn't.

"Andrew." I said as I shut his bedroom door behind me.

"Hayden." He said. I ran to the side of his bed and showed him all the things.

"I don't give a fuck what you or anyone says, your not doing this alone. I am coming with you." He demanded. I sighed and nodded Andy was just like me he was stubborn, and didn't go down with out a fight.

"We need to just play it cool until then okay." He said.

"Agreed, bring your pocket knife and I'll bring mine it's not a lot but it could do some damage and we know how to fight." I said, Andrew nodded and for the rest of the time we just played it all "cool."

Time skip... it's now 11:00

Dad Andrew and I were all sitting on the couch watching TV when Dad finally decided to go to bed

"I'm going to bed I'm fucking tired goodnight love you guys, don't stay up much longer." He said as he walked up the stairs. Once I heard his door close Andrew and I looked at each other and nodded.

"Time to go." He said

"Hold on I gotta do something." I said and walked up the stairs to Dads room. I opened the door and he was sitting in bed shirtless holding blue and playing a tune.

I sat on the floor next to the bed.
"Yes?" He chuckled.

"I'm sorry for giving you a bunch of shit earlier yesterday and today you don't deserve it, I was just a little mad at you." I said. He looked very confused.

"Why were you mad?" He asked.

"Mike told me what happened between mom you and him and I was pissed off because you put him in the hospital, I was pissed off because you tried to kill yourself, and I'm sorry." I said.

He sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"Fuck" he said.

"What?" I said back

"You really weren't supposed to know that, I didn't think he would tell you all about that shit. It's a really touchy subject for him." He said looking back at me.

"Yeah I know it is, he cried, he took me to Christie Road. Ooh speaking of which can you sing it to me? Please please please Dad." I said like a little girl.

"Y-yeah sure but we need to talk about this later." He said, I nodded and he started playing the guitar and singing. I got up and sat at the end of the bed.

"Staring out of my window watching the cars go rolling by my friends are gone I've got nothing to do, do I sit here patiently watching the clock tick so slowly." He sang quietly.

I needed to here this song. Especially if it could possibly be my last time hearing it. No one knows what could happen. A little while later he finished singing and we continued talking and then Andrew came in.

"Haydy come on we gotta get to bed we have a dumbass math test tomorrow remember." He said quite convincingly.

"Shit yeah I forgot." I said and gave dad a big hug then Andrew did the same. I walked to my room and got on my converse and grabbed my knife.

"You ready?" Andy asked.

"Yeah." I sighed.

I peeked into dads room to see if he was sleeping and thank god he was, he's not a light sleeper so he probably wouldn't wake up.
