Plot: Patton had always been secretive about his home life, changing the subject whenever it was brought up, and the 6 never staying at his house for parties or sleepovers. He finally spills about what living in his household is like.

Patton gingerly slid his key into the lock on his front door. He heard the mechanism fall into place within the lock and he quietly pushed open the front door. He stepped inside, shutting it cautiously. The house was silent.
His assumptions where proved correct when he spotted his father. He was passed out on the couch, the tv still on, some show he'd never heard off. A half full bottle of clear alcohol was propped dangerously in his hand. Patton quickly and quietly shifted the bottle so it wouldn't fall, wincing slightly when his father stirred. Relief flooded through him when he stayed unconscious.
He made his way to his bedroom, shutting the door behind him, the broken lock clicking slightly. He sighed as he practically collapsed on his bed, sweeping his curly light brown hair out of his eyes. He pulled out his phone, smiling when he saw he had notifications from his groupchat.

Patton giggled slightly. He loved his friends, even Remus. Not only did he care for them, but they provided a much needed distraction from the not so great things in his life.
