"Its one grade dad ONE GRADE!!" "Don't you yell at me young man " " Hunny don't be so hard on him , his right its just one grade im sure he will do better next time . " My mum always had my back but my dad is way to obsessed with me getting the perfect grades to have the same understanding as she did.
Its like im living his dream . I know it sounds stupid , but if it was up to me I would rather have gone out with friends than study , I would rather have done some stupid thing that teenagers do than sit in my room reading boring books I could care less about , but because I always wanted to please my dad I just did what he wanted me to .
"Is it ok if I go out for a bit?" I asked more to my mum than my dad knowing his answer would immediately be "no" yeh that's what I thought . " Yes hunny you can " , " Gemma - " " no Theo let him take a breather , its ok go ahead sweetie just be back by 10 please " . " thanks mum" I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and grabbed my coat .
I walked where ever my feet really took me not really caring where I went to . I managed to make my way over to the park and sat on the bench just staring at the wind pushing the swings around almost like my dad and I's relationship . Why cant he understand that im 17 I should be figuring out who I am and having fun not just sitting in my room doing homework or reading some boring book where the end is just what u expected. Because of him I have never gone to parties I only have one friend that I only spoke to at school I basically had no social life or any kind of life at all for that matter .
I was snapped out of my thoughts by the sudden hit of the cold wind on my face . I looked up and saw the sun setting . I should get home before it gets dark . I got up and lazily pushed my hands into my pocket and walked in the direction my house was .
Erg, I balled up my fist in my jeans feeling the air getting colder and colder . I wasn't quiet use to the California weather . I was born in Dallas Texas and moved here about 2 years back so I could go to Stanford University . It was my dad's dream to go there but because of the lack of money my grandparents had my dad was force to stay and go to community collage , and ever since i was born dad has made it his goal to send me to Stanford . What a great life right being daddy's little boy for 17 years .
Small footsteps brought me back to reality . I continued to walk a bit faster but not to fast, I didn't want to seem like I was scared because it could have just been someone walking bye . The sun had sunk by now and the only lights around was the street lights that surrounded me .
The foot steps came closer by the minute and I picked up my speed. I didn't want to look back because if this person decided to want to grab me she/he would think that I was on to him/her , he/she would attack quicker . Yeh when I had free time off reading my history or phycology books I would read a bit of action . Wow my life is really crappy .
The footsteps dialed down when I picked up my paste and it gave me the slight feeling of relief . I slowed down and saw the small ice cream shop down the end of the street , and 10 seconds after it was becoming hard to breath and everything around me was spinning .

"Theo its 10:30 where is he , he should have been back by now " , " Don't worry Gemma im sure he was just caught up in his thoughts and his heading back right now." This is not like him he should have been back he would have called us if he would have been longer , he doesn't have friends , well non that I know of so where could he be , please Lord let my son be ok .

I was on my way to the park to meet up with some of the guys as I usually did . When I got there it didn't look like anyone pitched . The sun was about to set and the few kids that were in the park left and it seemed that no one else was around .
"bzzzt , bzzzt " I felt my phone buzz in my left pocket and I quickly got it out . I looked at the text in my hand from Ace that him and the guys were at the pub and that I should join them . I rolled my eyes annoyed that he didn't tell me sooner and stuffed my phone back in my pocket .
I looked around at the empty- well I guess not so empty park . I saw a boy about my age maybe younger , with his hood up and his hair softly touched his face . I couldn't get a close enough look to see his eyes but he seemed kind of upset .
I walked over towards him but I guess he didn't notice me as he got up and walked with his hands in his pockets . I decided to follow him because he was walking in the direction of the pub anyway so I thought id just ask him if he wanted to join us .
I guessed he noticed me following and I guess he got scared and all I wanted to do was talk to him , so I picked up my pace and so did he . I slowed down and so did he . If I would walk up to him he'd probably run so I put my hand over his mouth , and it was quite easy since he didn't put up much of a fight , but it's not like I was going to hurt him or anything . Just talk .
