Brendon and I decided to go for pizza when I finally got home from school. I hadn't spoken much to Pete which was weird, but I think his brother was telling him about their parents so that could be why.
"Dads getting released next week" Brendon said.
"What?" I asked "I thought-"
"Apparently he's doing great" he mumbled "That he's a healthy man now"
"I can't do this again Brendon, I can't" I said starting to shake "M-my worst enemy is my dad"
"Just calm down okay? I'll figure something out"
"Figure what out!? Mom won't even call us back! I can't live with him anymore and you're not a parent so if I attempt to live with you dad can call the cops and-!"
"Patrick breathe!" he yelled. I took a breath. "I said we'd figure this out, you have to trust me"
"I do trust you" I whispered. My first thought was to call Pete, but I knew he definitely wasn't in position to make me feel better. "I never wanna see him again"
"I know" he said gently.

I stared at my ceiling in thought. Did I call Pete or wait for him to come to me? I sighed. Just as I reached for my phone it buzzed with a text.
Pete: I'm fine. Don't worry. I already knew this was coming. I'm driving over now so you can "keep an eye on me". My brother can be so over protective sometimes
Me: Okay, doors unlocked.
I put my phone down, and moved my sulk fest downstairs. I wrapped my blanker tightly around myself.
"You okay if I go to Sarahs?" Brendon asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Pete's coming over" I said gently.
"Okay, I love you kid. You know that right?" He asked.
"Yeah, I know, I love you too" I smiled. He left without another word. I turned the TV on waiting for Pete. I knew this was gonna happen but I didn't think this soon. And Pete was probably a mess. I heard a knock at the door. I had to tell Pete. If I didn't, he'd get upset. I got up walking and opened it slowly. Pete stared at me with a sad look on his face.
"I know" I said gently. "Come here" I hugged him tightly. He buried his head into my neck. I'd definitely tell him, but not right now. He needed me.
"I'm glad I have you" he whispered.
