Leap of Faith

Lazy Day

Daniel P.O.V 

I woke up the next morning before Tom did and decide to go wash my face and make myself a tea. As I was making it a sleepy Paddy wonder down the stairs and smiled at me.

"Morning sleepy head."

"Morning Daniel, did you sleep okay?"

"Yeah not to bad thank what about you."

"I slept great actually." I looked out the window and saw it was sunny.

"Hey Paddy after you have woken up a little do you wanna maybe take Tessa for a morning walk and show me around." He burst into a smile and ran upstairs

"I will go get ready now." I snuck back into Toms room and got my shoes on and got Tessa of the bed I then grabbed Toms jumper as I had the feeling it would be cold outside. When I went back downstairs Paddy was already there with Tessa's lead in his hand. "I wrote a note so they will know where we are."

"Okay that's good, so where are you taking." As he put Tessa leash on and we headed out their door the cold really hit me.

"Well I was just going to take you to the park so Tessa can run around."

"Sounds good." As we walked we spoke about different things mainly how school was for him and what he wanted to do when he grew up. At the moment he wanted to do acting like Tom which I thought was cool and Tom was helping him which was nice of him. When we got to the park we let Tessa of the lead and she started running around chasing birds and smelling different bushes and poles.

"Did people bully at school because you liked boys."

"Well yeah it was really bad at some points but I mean after I will it died down because of certain reason but I mean my friend Hannah helped me like a lot through the whole thing which was amazing but I mean it all worked out because I don't see them anymore and now I have Tom."

"People are horrible, how did you get it to stop."

"I guess I stopped retaliating which made it boring for them and I was able to make fun of myself so they would insult me and I would make it a joke so people would laugh with me instead of at me so it stopped after a while, why do you ask?"

"No particular reason." I looked at Paddy and could tell there was something he wasn't telling me

"Do you get bullied by people, is that why you're asking me?" He looked down at his feet

"Yeah, there this guy who taller and stronger then me and he's rude to me and call me names and pushes me around all the time but every time I try to stand up to him it always ends up making it worse."

"Wanna know a secret Paddy?"

"What is it."

"Most people bully ether out of insecurity or jealousy so I reckon by the sound of this guy it's a bit of both I reckon he doesn't have a lot of friend am I right." He nods, "Well hes probably jealous because you have a lot where as he doesn't and then that make him feel insecure about how people see him so he takes it out on you."

"You think so." I smile at him

"I know so, now im cold and need something to warm me up, do you wanna get a hot chocolate?"

"Yes please." I smile at him and we put Tessa on the lead and walked to the nearest café away. I tied Tessa on a pole outside while we went in and quickly grabbed our drink. I got me and Paddy a hot chocolate and Tom a Latte while Paddy told me what to get the rest of his family. For the twins I got mochas for Dominic a flat white and for Nikki and Latter. I made sure Paddy got extra marsh mellows in his tea. Luckily there house was only like 5 minute away so the walk back was quick. I took Tessa on the lead and carried my drinks while Paddy took the other drinks. When we got back I knocked on the door and Harry opened.
