Chapter 3: I'm So Sorry

* Tommy's POV *

     Adam sat down in front of me & digged into his yogurt. I picked up my spoon & digged in myself. It tasted so good. I hadn't tasted frozen yogurt in forever! I remember the first time I had my first frozen yogurt.

                      Flashback....

    I was 7 years old when my dad took me out with him for some father & son bonding time.

"Dad, where are we going?" I asked.

"We're going to get some frozen yogurt." he looked at me with a smile.

I didn't know what was frozen yogurt. "What's frozen yogurt?"

"It's like ice-cream, but creamer."

"Oh, I love ice-cream!" I yelled.

"That's good, Tommy."

                  End Of Flashback...

"Earth to, Tommy. Is there anyone in there?" he was waving his hand in front of my face to get my attention.

"Um. What?" Blinking my eyes

"I was asking you if, you're excited to see the band tomorrow, but you were blanked out." he explained to me.

"Oh, yeah I'm very excited."

"You ok, Tommy?" he asked with cocern in his voice.

"Yeah, I just had a flashback."

"What was your flashback?" he smirked.

I blushed. "I was thinking of the first time I had frozen yogurt." I smiled.

"Really? That's something."

"Yeah." I looked down.

"So, you ready to go?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready to go."

    He nodded & I followed him back to the car. Once, I buckled up in my seat Adam started the engine & drove out of the parking space leaving the place.

"Do you want to go the park or go downtown?"

"Um. I would like to go to the park."

"Ok, the park it is." he smiled.

      We drove about 6 minutes when we reached the park. It had a playground for the kids, a swing set, a pond with ducks in it & a path along the area of the park. I got out of the car & I check my phone for any messages. I had one message I opened it.

Mom: Hi, Tommy. It's mom wanted 2 know if you made the audition.

Tommy: Yes, I did mom! :-)

Mom: That's great, sweetheart! I''m sure your dad would be proud...

Tommy: Ik he would be. I <3 u, mom.

Mom: I <3 u 2, Tommy. Bye.

     I put away my phone in my back pocket & went to Adam who was waiting for me at the path. I was looking at the kids at the playground.

"Hey, Adam." I said

"Hey." he smiled.

"What, you looking at?" I asked.

"Just remembering the time I took my little brother Neil here when he was 7 years old."

"Sounds like you were a great brother to him."

"He was my brother & I loved him. I would do anything for him."

"That's good. That you had a great relationship with Neil."

"We had our fights, but we always made up."

"Your love for Neil will always live on."

"Well, shall we walk?" he asked.

"Of course, Adam." He came by my side & we started walking down the path.

"So, did you & Grace have a good relationship."

"Well, we fought a lot, but we did made up. She always stood up for me even through I was the older sibling & I did the same thing I stood up for her. Like the time, a boy was picking on her for her style I went up to him & gave him a piece of my mind."

"What was the boy's name?"

"His name was Zach." I answered.

"How did Grace stood up for you?"

"I was in a relationship with a girl named Kyla. When I went to see her by her locker I saw her making out with amother guy."

"Ouch."

"When I told Grace about what happened. She went to Kyla & started fighting with her. She punched Kyla so many times she blacked out."

"Woah, she must really hate her."

"Yea, she did. She doesn't like it when people hurt me."

"She sounds like a good sister."

"I love her. She really understood me." I smiled.

"What about your dad?" he asked. I stop walking when he said that.

"Tommy, you ok?" he sound concern. I didn't respond I just looked down.

"Tommy, please say something. I'm get worried." he kept tring get my attention.

"M-my dad d-died." my voice cracked when I finished the sentence I started to cry. I didn't want to cry in front of Adam. He must think I must be weak.

"Tommy. Tommy, why are you crying?" he asked me. I just kept crying. Feeling the tears coming down on my cheeks.

"Tommy, it's ok everything's ok. I'm here for you," he told me while hugging me & rubbing my back. "It's ok, Tommy. I'm here for you," Adam kepted me in his safe, warm arms.

"A-Adam can I-I go h-home?" I asked Adam.

"Yes, you can & I'm so sorry for losing your father." he told me.

    Adam let go of me & led me to his car. He opened the door for me & I climbed in the seat. I wiped away the tears with my sleeve of my shirt. Adam started the engine & back out of the parking space from the park. I looked out the window of the passing cars & buildings. The whole trip was quiet & I didn't feel like talking. Adam stopped the car in front of a house it wasn't my house it must be Adam's, but why would he bring me here instead of my home.
