~2~ A Stroll Through ToNight

Now I really needed fresh air. I picked Maya up and went outside as fast as I could before chilling out at the park for half an hour. I wanted to scream out my pain and anger but that would cause so much attention.

Seeing all the expenses on that mistress?
Makes me really mad. Mom deserves better! She's broken, and I really hope she doesn't see those papers! If she finds them, it could make her feel worse. I only want the best for her.

Maya hums beside me, trying to lighten my mood tonight as I sit on the park bench, she nuzzled my chin. I barely crack a smile, I feel like I can't. Most of the time I can have fun and laugh with my friends but now I don't have my friends to cheer me up. What would Freddy or Mary say if they knew about the mistress?

I'm staying out here tonight I swear to God.

I look down at her curiously and she lets out a bark. I smile slightly. Maybe I should go to Freddy's. Sometimes I feel like a burden and I don't always feel like I'm able to step into their place so willingly. They're inviting but in the back of my head, I always feel like a burden.

I haven't told him this. But I feel like if he made friends with other boys as a normal boy would, I could be forgotten. He'd spend time with a new best friend. I don't always feel this way but it's a feeling that my doubt, self-doubts, and poor self-esteem has created for me.

I guess I just don't want him pushing me away. Nobody would like to be pushed away or replaced by their best friend's new best friend.

I decide to get up and walk. Silently as Maya follows me. I pass Detective Fallon once again on the street and he salutes to me when I nod and wave at him.

"Is something the matter, you seem distressed." He tells me. Normally people would probably be caught off guard if a Police officer says something like this. But we've actually talked before and I classify him as one of my friends. Older, but friends.

Don't worry. He's not creepy. He's not a bad guy just because he's a friend whos an adult. He's one of those popo's or Police, who is like a cinnamon roll little sushi roll UwU.

"Problems at home again. Needed air."

"Y/n...why do you never tell me what's going on? I'm here to help."

"Because you wouldn't find anything." I shrug sadly, putting my hands in my pockets.

Father is good at hiding things away half of the time. It was only unfortunate that I found that Mistress papers.

He sighs. "I hope you can tell me one day."

"Maybe. You're a good policeman."

He's been the guy to actually come into my house as an officer through suspicion of violence and theft that my Dad has on his record but he's never found anything. Which is why I know he would believe me if I told him but he would never find anything to prove it.

"Have a good night, Y/n."

"You too, Jimmy."

He flashes a smile before I decide to keep walking. As I keep walking for a longer time, it's getting later and later. And that includes night cravings.

I bite my lip anxiously.

Chocolate...

I see a Gas Station open and I feel a bit more eager. Jesus. Let's get this over with.

I go over to the Gas station then look down to Maya. She goes over to the fire hydrant and...starts peeing. I roll my eyes.

"Just stay here till I get back."
