"Alright kiddo, you're free to leave the hospital, just do your back easy okay?" I nodded to the nurse as she unhooked me from the machines.
I got off of the bed and got changed into some regular clothes, careful of my back. I had been in hospital for two months, my best friend Noah came to visit me. Of course, I told him what happened. He offered to pick me up today instead of dad.
I walked out of the hospital, Noah was waiting outside with my bag and bike. "Hey Liam, how are you?"
"My back hurts... can we go now? I know where I want to go." Noah nodded, handing me my bag. I opened it up, pulling out a drink bottle. I took a large sip before placing it back in the bag.
We got on our bikes and set off, I knew exactly where to go. We came to a stop in front of the tattoo parlour, Noah's dad works here. We put our bikes to the side and walked in.
A bell rung above our heads as we stepped in, two men turned to face us. Noah's dad, Kyle, smiled at us while the man next to him sent us a little wave.
"Hey kiddos, what are you two doing here?" Kyle asked us as he lent against the counter. "We were hoping Liam could get a tattoo?" Noah asked his dad. Kyle narrowed his eyes at his son before looking at me. "Why...?" I placed my bag on the ground, pulling off my hoodie and shirt. I turned around, I could hear Kyle and the other guy gasped.
"I-I was attacked, I was hoping you could cover the scars up..." I whispered out, loud enough for them to hear. Noah gave me a sympathetic smile, one that says 'I'm here for you'. I could trust Noah, I always could. "Oh wow... umm, yeah, I'll sign the form for you and my friend Roge here, can give you the tattoo. He's the best here."
Kyle went away somewhere and Roge told my to follow him. We walked into some room and I was told to lay down. I laid down and waited for a short while, Kyle came back with an authorisation paper and signed it before handing it to Roge. "Sweet as! So little dude, any requests?"
"Could you do a skull covering my entire back?"
"Sure thing little dude." He pulled out some sort of tattoo gun I assume and set it up, he turned to me with a small smile. "Normally, a lot of people would ask 'is it gonna hurt' but I can tell you're a tough kid considering I'm covering those sick ass scars. So, a skull you say?"
"Yes please, do it as you wish, just cover my whole back."
~~
"Well little dude, I'm all done! And let me tell you this looks sick as!" I heard Roge take a picture before holding his phone out for me to see. He was right, it did look sick as.
(Just imagine he's 8 at the moment)
"You can't even see the scars anymore!" That's what he thinks, I can see them vividly. "Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'll definitely come to you for other tattoos." I said with a small smile.
Maybe this isn't so bad after all...
~~
"Happy birthday Noah!!" We all shouted as he walked into the living room, a look of shock and happiness on his face. "Shit! You guys remembered?" He asked as I walked up to give him a bro hug. "Of course we remembered dude!! It's your Sixteenth birthday! How could we forget?"
Today was Noah's sweet sixteenth birthday, he's four months younger than me. My birthday is the 21 of March and his is 17 of July, today. He was finally a big boy!
"My baby boy is finally sixteen! Now is when he'll start to be rebellious and sneak out!! But we will catch you Noah..." His mom, Vanessa, shouted out. I started laughing, that earned a slap up the back side of the head from Noah.
"Why are you so excited about me being rebellious?"
"Because those are the fun years!! You boys sneaking out to parties, getting drunk, one night stands..."
"Mom!!" I was currently on the floor laughing my ass off as Noah went red from his mom's last comment. "What!! That's what you teenage boys do right?"
"Not all of us mom!! Some of us have a mind of our own!! Plus, half of the girls at school are sluts!! They've been in bed with every other dude!! I don't want a girl if she's already had another dude inside of her!!"
I cannot breathe!!
God, someone send help before I blow up!!
"Well, at least you're smart like your father. I'm happy as long as you don't hump and dump."
"MOM!!"
The party consisted of Noah being embarrassed by his mom and dad, eating cake, pouring soda on each other. Now, Noah was opening the presents we got him.
"Who's this one from?"
"Your bestest friend ever, practically your brother from a completely other bloodline but definitely from another mother." I said as Noah started to open my present. He pulled out a bunch of car stickers, specifically flames and skulls. "Stickers... you got me stickers..." Noah said as he looked up at me like I was a mad man. I simply smirked knowing the truth behind it.
"How about you open my present, hon." Vanessa said as she handed him a small wrapped up box. He ripped it open, pulling the lid off. His jaw hit the ground and his eyes went comically wide. "Y-y-you-"
"J-j-Just get up and go outside!" I shouted at him. He leapt to his feet without a second thought as he ran outside to the garage. "HOLY SHIT!!" We all followed out after Noah to see him freaking out over his new car.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS GOT ME A LAMBORGHINI CENTENARIO!!" I chuckled as Noah jumped into his car, fanboying over how "soft the seats were". I walked over but before I could touch the car, Noah glared at me. "Don't you dare touch my baby..." He growled out.
"But I thought I was your baby..." I said back, playing along with this stupid game.
"I'm sorry Li, but I've moved on, I'm in love with someone else." He said, dramatically hugging his car. I threw my head back, gasping as I placed a hand over my heart. "But I thought we had something! I guess all of those bro hugs meant nothing!! We are done!!" I mocked in the highest voice I could, throwing my head into my hands as I pretended to cry. I pushed past Vanessa and Kyle. Mark, Shaun, Ella and Mia were laughing their asses off.
I fell onto the couch, "sobbing" into the pillow. Mark came and sat beside me, trying to hold his laughter in. "He told me he loved me!! And I believed him! All of my romantic nights and wonderful dates, all for nothing!!" I cried out, hugging the pillow tightly.
"He's not worth your time honey, if he picked a car over you, his dick ain't worth your time." Mark said in a girly voice, Ella and Mia were laughing so hard I swear they weren't breathing.
Seconds later, Noah came back in. "I know what I said before baby but... would you like to come for a ride with me?" I sat up straight, the girly act disappearing. "Wait... are you actually serious..." I said, looking at Noah with so much hope. "I'll even let you drive..."
I leapt up from the couch, rushing over to him and then jumping into his car. "If your serious, I'll forgive you for that time you left me on the highway too." Noah chuckled and got into the car, he turned to our friends. "Anyone else want to come?"
"We will." Mark said, Shaun smiling behind him. "Girls?" Noah asked, Ella and Mia shook their heads. "Nah, we were gonna head home for a girls night." Mia said with excitement. Ella nodded in agreement. "Right then boys, get your asses in the car before I leave you behind!" Noah shouted, Mark and Shaun races to get into the car.
~~
"Okay pull to the side here... great now GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT!!" I shouted at Noah who simply laughed, Noah got out of the drivers seat, switching places with me. I slid into the seat, gripping the steering wheel with a smug look on my face. "I just might steal your dearly beloved Noah."
"You wouldn't dare..." he glared at me, I simply smirked before looking at the highway. "No... but I sure as hell will enjoy this drive..." I said as I slammed the gas, speeding down the nearly empty highway. I let out whoop of joy as I sped down the road, the engine shouting out with me.
"Jesus Christ how quickly do you want to kill us?!" Mark shouted from the back seat, I simply laughed in return. "Let me have some fun!! In case you forgot, my dearly beloved cheated on my for a machine!!" I shouted, my smile never falling. "DON'T INSULT MY BABY YOU BITCH!!" Noah shouted at me, I once again laughed in return.
We slowed down as we came back into the city, it was around 1 am and I was having the best night of my life. But that soon changed as I saw some guy advancing on another. I slowed the car down, coming to a stop. "Shit." I said, immediately recognising my dad being backed up against the wall by someone else.
"Is that-"
"Jason?" Noah questioned, I nodded in response. We sat quietly, watching whatever was happening unfold. "Should we help him?" Shaun asked, as much as I wanted to say no. He was my father, and as much as I hated him, I can't just let him die. I'd rather he suffer a lifetime not have it end in two seconds.
I stepped out of the car, slowly advancing towards them. I tried listening but I couldn't hear what was going on. I looked up and saw the man pull a gun out on my father, that's when I panicked.
I ran forward as fast as I could, I could hear dad panicking. "Now come on mate, no need to be rash."
"You owe us fucking money Parker! It should have been here last week!" He held the gun towards dad's head, his finger resting on the trigger...
"Stop!!" I shouted as I ran between them and my father, my body blocking the gun. The men looked at me with confusion while I could feel dad's rage behind me. "Get lost kid, Parker has to deal with this himself-"
"How much." Their confusion grew, the gun lowered slightly. "What?"
"How much money, how much money does he owe you?"
"$12,935." My eyes widened slightly before I pulled my wallet out. I started pulling out large notes, then smaller notes. "Thirty and five... and there, $12,935. It's all there, you watched me count it, recount it if you want." I said as I handed him the wad of cash, he took it with a smirk before turning to my dad with a glare. "Next time, there will be no second chances." And with that, they all walked away.
I put my wallet away, but I didn't turn to face my father. "Why the fuck are you out here? You're pathetic ass should be at home!" My eyes widened, is he serious?! I spun around to face me, anger getting the best of me before I could think. "What the fuck?! I just saved your sorry ass!! And instead of being a descent human fucking being you find some reason to get mad at me!! The fuck is wrong with you?!?!"
Before I could react, something was smashed over my head. I staggered sideways a bit, my head spinning as I did. I looked back to dad to see him holding a broken bottle. "You dare fucking speak back to me?!?! Don't think I'll forgive you for this?! You still ruined my fucking life by killing the only person I loved!! You're a pathetic piece of shit and you need to remember that!!" He shouted, throwing the broken glass beside me and it broke more.
Dad walked away, not even caring in the slightest. His figure disappeared and Noah, Mark and Shaun ran over to me. "Shit man are you okay?" Noah asked me, I shook my head with a sarcastic laugh. "Just fucking peachy Noah, I just wasted $12,935 on a faggot of a father!"
"He's your father?" Shaun asked in disbelief, I just laughed as I started to walk away. "Where are you going Liam?"
"Away. Go home Noah, I just need to be alone."
"I'm not going to leave you Liam-"
"Just fuck off home Noah!! I don't need your fucking help right now!! I just need to fucking calm down so just fucking go home!!" I lashed out at him, Noah stayed quiet, knowing it was best. I started walking away again, viciously wiping away the tear that fell. "I'll see you guys on Monday." I muttered as I walked off down the street, leaving my friends in shock.
I kept walking, my legs taking me where they pleased. Within a short amount of time, I found myself in front of my mothers grave. I sat on my knees, my hands resting on either side of the grave. I looked down with a small smile as tears fell down my cheeks, hitting the grass beneath me, refreshing it with my salty water.
"I'm sorry mom... I'm sorry I'm a fucking let down, I'm sorry I'm a no good son, I'm sorry I'm fucking pathetic, I'm sorry I'm worthless and a pig, I'm sorry I'm so fucking stupid, I'm sorry I'm weak, I'm sorry I'm a coward, I'm sorry I'm the reason your dead and I'm sorry you have a son like me. You deserved better mom... you deserved to live and you sure as hell don't deserve a let down of a son like me."
Rain slowly began to pour, soaking me as the cold water mixed with my warm tears. I laid down on mom's grave, holding my arms around me as I curled into a ball. My body shivered from the cold dampness of the grass and my now soaking clothes but I didn't care. I deserve this. It's my fault my mom is dead, it's my fault she has a pathetic son like me, I deserve to suffer...
I'm not sure how long I laid there for but eventually my exhaustion caught up to me, my eyes slipped closed and I finally slipped into the darkness of slumber.
