Perfect

I ran out the door ignoring my dad’s calls, the street lights began to flick on, i ran down the unfamiliar street till i got to the end i tried to catch my breath once i did i looked around me, i walked down a small path until i can to a park, i sighed and opened the gate which let out a loud squeak i walked over to the swing set and buried my head into my hands, “fuck” i whimpered before bursting into tears it began to get cold i let out another deep sign but i was able to see my breath this time i pulled out my phone and scrolled past the 27 missed calls till i got to frank’s number i pressed the called button it let out a long ring until the line picked up
‘hello?’ i heard frank say curiously
“hey uh frank it’s me jason”
“jason? It’s nine thirty what are you calling at this time?”
“i kinda ran from my uncle mikey’s i found out something i didn’t want to know could. Could you pick me up? Please?” i asked scratching my nose
“oh sure um where are you?”
“bakers street at the park?”
“oh not too far” he laughed awkwardly “i’ll see you in 15”
“o-okay bye”
“bye”

I saw a red car pull up and someone get out, i stood up and frank jogged towards me it was wearing seeing him without a suit or dress clothes on
“dude it’s freezing out here come on” he whispered to me
We walked in silence to his car where it was warm, we began to drive down the street still not talking, once we go to franks apartment he broke the silence
“want coffee?” frank asked walking into the warm hallway
“sure, hey you got a blanket?”
“sure” he smiled he walked into what i think was his room and brought back a blue sheet
“ill make coffee go lie down or something”

I sat down curling up into a ball on the couch, i couldnt believe he was my father i wasnt mad or annoyed i was scared and curious
He knew everything about me, i didnt know anything about him, why didnt dad tell me?
I was broke out of thought when frank came back
“you still cold?” he asked giving me a sad look
“sorta”
“here” he handed me my mug i felt the warmth surround my hands
Frank sat down next to me and cuddled me into his side
“bit better?” he asked smiling
“y-yeah” i smiled back it didnt feel awkward of course he was my pa, i love him no matter what
“so what did you guys fight about?”
“oh uh well my dad finally left reece and r-reece rung him up and told him a-ab-about us and he flipped out then he eventually told me he wasnt my dad”
“oh” frank asked sipping his coffee
“and he told me who was” i sat up and looked frank in the eyes
“oh okay”
My eyes began to water again i burst into tears
Frank puts mine and his mug down and hugging me tightly
“i’m so sorry i couldnt be there baby” his voice cracked stroking my hair
“it’s fine i understand” i cry into his shoulder
“you dont you really really dont” he huffed
I pulled away and looked at him
“you didnt love me anymore thats why you left isnt it” i say bowing my hair
Pa’s eyes widen “what? No fuck no jason that wasnt it” pa’s voice rose in shock
“then why?” i asked

Once he finished telling me i hugged him again, “jason i’m so sorry i wish i had known sooner you were my son, how handsome you have grown” pa smiled fluffing my hair
I laughed whipping my tears away
The moment was broken when my phone rang
“hello?”
‘jason where the fuck are you!’ dad cried down the phone
“i-im with”
‘with who jason’ he sobbed
I looked at frank he mimed to give him the phone so i did
“gerard?” pa spoke
“yeah it’s me, he’s safe don’t worry”
“of course”
“s-sure”
“tomorrow at ten”
“okay bye”

“Your dad said you can stay he’ll pick you up at ten”
“okay” i smiled
“then he’s coming back to talk to me and catch up” pa smiled he looked so happy
I couldnt help but smiled back after talking it was eleven thirty and i was getting tired pa walked me to his room and placed my into his bed he kissed my forehead and left, the room feel into darkness once i drifted off
