I was laying wide awake in bed unable to sleep. The thought of my dad just wouldn't leave my mind. Nobody knows where he's at, but the police are still on the lookout for him. I hope he's not too mad at me, but no matter what I know he is.
I sighed realizing it was all my fault again. What the fuck is wrong with me?! I just hope he'll be okay... But of corse he's not gonna be okay!
I tossed in bed still attempting to sleep, but it's no use. Maybe I just need to go on a walk, to clear my mind some. I grabbed my signature leather jacket and quietly left the apartment, not wanting to wake up Turner.
Tonight was a full moon, not that that matters, but I just couldn't help but notice how bright it was as I stepped outside. I walked along the sidewalk and around the empty streets of Philly, everyone else is asleep. I wish that it could be as easy for me to sleep too, but I guess I did sleep a lot earlier today too though...
I continued walking not even knowing where I was headed. Not before long I realized I was right in front of the Pink Flamingo Trailer Park. It brought back memories of things that's happened, some of the things being not too long ago either.
Being here makes my heart rate rise a lot and go crazy, I don't want to be here. Why did I even come here in the first place again? It's not safe for me here, even if my dad is no longer around. Eventually though I know I'll end up back here, because I'm trailer park trash and it's only a matter of time before Turner sees this and decides to throw me out.
"Shawn? Shawn Hunter, is that you?" I was tense but then realaxed some realizing it was just Frankie Stechino.
"Yeah, it's me. What do you want?" I asked looking around to see if anyone else was out. I didn't want to have to get into a fight tonight, not that Frankie would start something.
"I just didn't expect to see you here. You haven't been at school in weeks and your dad left about a week ago too. Nobody knows what happened, we weren't sure if you moved or if your dad hurt you or something... You live with Turner now, right? He was out for the longest time too." Frankie explained. "It was something your dad did, right? Didn't he abuse you or something?"
I felt the anger start to boil up inside of me, "Where did you hear all of this from?"
Frankie shrugged, "It's all around the school. Is it true?"
"No, it's not true!" I shouted angrily, not wanting the whole world to know my life story. "Now if anyone at school asks just tell them I was on vacation, because that's where I was."
"Okay, I will, Shawn. I promise." Frankie assured me, I was still so infuriated though. "Do you wanna hang out sometime?"
"No, I actually don't! I have to get going..." I explained quickly before exiting the trailer park with a migraine headache, I was so pissed.
I continued walking throughout the city. I wasn't in no hurry and had no place to go right now either.
I couldn't believe the the whole school knows! I'm not ever going back there and I hope Turner will understand this! Now that I think of it, he probably knew, why didn't he tell me?!
Why didn't Cory tell me?! I mean he told me some, but he made it sound like it was just a rumor that only a few people believed not the entire freaking school! I couldn't believe this! How can I hide all of this?!
After awhile of walking around and thinking things through I eventually went home, not wanting to do something stupid like I normally would've done. Then I would've gotten in more trouble and there's already a lot going on as it is, I don't need to add any stress.
As I entered the house I noticed Turner sitting on the coach with his head in his hands, "Hey Turner."
"Shawn, where were you?" He asked worried.
