            It was a cool Thursday morning & the boy had already gone through an argument with his mother. No day went where he didnât. As time went on, as the pressure within him tightened, the verbal lashings became more frequent & less tactful. Making his way out of the door, he walked down & out of the ominous house ( & his motherâs obsession ). Lawrence Harvey, his motherâs supposed boyfriend, once again tried speaking with himâ Tate ignored him, declining his offer to give him a ride to school. He neednât be repeated the same BULLSHIT about he wanted to be his friend. He was an idiot & Tate was not about to give him the time of his day. After whatâd happened to his family due to his infidelity with his own mother, he was shocked he still had it in him to preach about family values.          It disgusted him.             Now across the street, feeling the process of decompression begin, he took a spot on the sidewalk. Waiting for the Whalen girl to make her way out the door. He never truly sought for companionship, he seldom felt the need to. Today was no different. But Phoebe, she was the perfect distraction to disconnect from the dysfunction at home. Theyâd known each other since they were children, to date it surprised him his mother had managed to attract someoneâs good nature into befriending her ( Phoebeâs own mother & âin turnâ the reason they met ). Nevertheless, Tate had grown fond of her. Phoebe. She was intelligent & kindâ & the most shocking of all, heâd found throughout the years, was that he enjoyed her company. So he waited for her.
