I woke up in the morning and stroller out to the kitchen. Trisha was sat at the island looking down at her cup of tea"morning" "there- um, there's tea. Help yourself" she told me "thanks" I mumbled, walking over to when she said the tea was "is he okay?" She asked "what?" I questioned "the nightmares, I heard him last night" she explained "well, he's sleeping now" I pointed to a peaceful Hardin "how long have they been going on?" I turned back, confused "ever since he was eight. Um, he, uh, we'll-" she started "he told me. About that night and what he saw, the assault" I interrupted, seeing her struggle "whoa. He's never told anyone that before" she let out, looking down "im so sorry for what happened for you, I've been through something simpler and it is the worst feeling ever" I explained to her "I just hoped he'd forget the whole thing, but the nightmares kicked in; Sorry." She chocked up "and I took him to therapist after therapist, but nothing seemed to help. And then he started self medicating with alchohol, but um... he told me that the nightmares went away when he started seeing you" a defeated looking trish explained to me "I didn't know that" I smiled, she smiled too as she wiped her eyes "may I ask... why doesn't your family like him?" She said "hardins your son-" I began "yes and I love him but he is not without his challenges. You can tell me, what happened between you two?" She told "he lied to me." A tear slipped down my face and I really don't know why; I'm usually not that sensitive. "a big lie?" "A massive lie" "is he sorry?" "He is" I nodded "what are you two gabbing on about?" Hardin asked as he sat up in bed, trish laughed "make sure you brush your teeth!" "He used to give me such a hard time about brushing his teeth" she stood up and Hardin walked around the bed and stood in the doorway "mum. For the love of god, of course I'm gonna brush my teeth" he whined "great. Morning!" She joked "morning. Thank you" he mumbled, as he got greeted with a kiss on the cheek and a cup of tea. "I love your mum" I laughed as trish went into the other room "she's all right" Hardin said as he placed his mug in front of me and stood behind me, he pulled a card out of his back pocket and put it in-front of me as-well "happy belated" he draped his arms over my shoulders "but you already got me a present" I whined "true. But you had to snoop around and open it without me, thus denying me the pleasure of watching you react to said gift" he explained annoyingly "therefore..." I opened the card It read:
Haley's prefect day Love H x
"Haley's perfect day" I said "what's my perfect day?" I asked "well that's for you to decide" he told me making me smile "whatever your wish or desire, I will agree to without any snide remarks or tantrums. Your time starts in three two one." He kissed me.
First of all I chose to go ice skating as I always used to go when I was a kid. I wore this:

"Isn't this lush?" I said to Hardin who was struggling beside me "I love ice skating" I added "yeah, it's... great. I'm loving-" as he started to talk he slipped and fell onto his backside, he grunted "are you alright" I asked, trying not to laugh at him "yeah" he groaned and rubbed his head "just a tad rusty" he said as he made his way onto his feet "well when was the last time you skated?" I asked him "I've never skated before" he told. I looked over and saw a little girl with a Walker "do you want me to get you a Walker?" I asked, taking the piss "fuck no" Hardin bluntly said "do you wanna stop?" I questioned as I chuckled at him "no, we're here to have-" he fell again and I almost cried of laughter "Hardin?" I looked around, pretending he had gone missing "oh there you are" I joked, looking at the ice he was laying on "I have a better idea" I laughed helping him up and taking him out of the rink.
