Henry's POV

I got a text from Patrick to meet up with him at one of our many hang out spots, an old abandoned gas station a few miles out of town. I hitch hiked there and when some old lady finally dropped me off I noticed belchs car was there, they must have all came with him. I walked inside, it was a mess but in the back there was a spot cleaned out with chairs and a coffee table that we set up. Belch and Vic we're sitting while Patrick leaned against the wall next to the door. I looked around nervously and sat down next to Vic. Is Patrick going to tell everyone what I told him about my dad? Just the thought made me uneasy. "What's going on?.. why did you tell me to come out here?" As Patrick closed the old rusted door, Vic also spoke up, "yeah Patrick-.. whats with this 'group meeting' we never have meetings." Patrick now leaned against the door so no one could leave, my hands started getting sweaty.

The lanky boy just stood there grinning at us all. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I brought you all here.." belch laughed "uh yeah-.. everyone's been asking that.. just tell us." I stared at Patrick, searching his face to try to figure out what his next move is. "I want you guys to hold down Henry..." I stood up immediately, preparing myself to beat the shit out of Patrick. Vic also stood up along with belch. "But why?" Patrick glared at me, "he's gonna try to stop me from saying this but.. it should be said. I was shocked when I felt my arms being grabbed by my two best friends. "Guys-.. why are you listening to him? What the fuck let me go! Vic I will fucking kill you-.. and belch-.. I'll-... I'll destroy your car, let me go!" I tried moving but with everything that's been happening lately I've been weak. They held me still as Patrick continued. "Henry told me something this morning-.. and he didn't want me to tell you guys but I say.. the bowers gang has no secrets! Wouldn't you guys agree?.." the guys nodded, agreeing with everything Patrick was saying. I stopped trying to escape and just caved in, my eyes were watering and by now the guys were basically holding me up from falling. "Last night.. Henry.. let his dad touch him.." the room went so quiet you could probably hear a fly landing on the wall. Vic let go of me immediately, "wh-What?" He sounded out of breath. Speechless. Belch was just staring at me, not even letting go. "What do you mean he-.. let him.." I stood up straight and started walking towards Patrick, I want to fucking kill him. "I didn't let him do anything to me it was forced!" Belch was still holding on so I couldn't go far. "Henry's gotten weak.. soft.. he's even been hanging out with Stanley uris.. he's not fit to be our leader anymore, it should be me! This is no longer the bowers gang, now we're the hockstetter gang, well.. maybe I'm still thinking of names." I glanced at Vic who was sitting down now, staring at the floor with his hands covering his mouth. I looked up at Patrick and laughed through my tears. "You? A leader? You're nothing but a psychotic fairy who thinks it's cool to humiliate me and make my life a living hell." By now belch let go, still silent. Patrick walked up to me, I didn't fight I just stood there. He caressed the side of my face before leaning in to kiss me, I didn't kiss back. Vic had enough. He stood up and pulled Patrick away from me before pushing him to the ground, before I knew it Vic was on top of Patrick and was currently punching the shit out of his face. "You really think we'd listen to you Patrick?! You're delusional! And-.. what you did to Henry-.. Thats just a whole new level of evil." He stood up and wiped his bloody, swollen fists off on his shirt. I looked down at Patrick who's face was decorated in forming bruises and blood. Victor turned around and clung onto me. We haven't hugged since like 5th grade. I hugged back and then felt belch hug the both of us. Patrick sat up and stared at us, he started laughing. "I'm actually glad you guys are choosing him over me.. I didn't want to be your friends anyway.." we all pulled away from the hug, belch went outside to start the car, then Vic started leaving, before I walked out I looked down at Patrick, spitting on him before finally leaving with my friends.

The car ride home was really awkward, we all stayed quiet the whole drive. Once we got into town belch passes my house. "Hey-.. belch you missed it.. turn around." Vic scoffed and turned around, they were in the front seats and I was in the back. "You expect us to let you go back there? We're all staying at my house tonight, I'm my older brother has some old clothes left behind you could wear..." I smiled a little and looked down. "Thank you guys for not turning on me.. and for being so nice.." belch stopped at a red light. "Of course dude, I was wondering why you looked so awful this morning-...I'm sorry" I sighed and looked out the window, we finally pulled up to vics house.
