Oscar's POV:

I found Wyatt floating in the middle of the pool fully clothed

"Wyatt get out of the water" I held my hand out to him

He looked at my then went back to star gazing. I stepped into the pool fully clothed and joined him. I had my phone and wallet in my pocket but I really didn't care. He needed me.

"You didn't have to come in"

"You're right but no one wants to be alone"

"If I told you, you wouldn't understand" I chuckled dryly

"Trust me I completely understand, they were parents before they were your grandparents"

"Do the memories every go away? Will I always be broken and alone" his voice cracked

"The memories will always be there but it's up to you whether or not they consume you. I know it feels like you're sinking and everyone is passing you by but you're never alone. If you were Jesse wouldn't have gone to your teacher, no one would've gotten you from school, I wouldn't be floating here with you. I know what's it's like to be alone and I know you do too so understand this isn't alone"

"Why are they so awful"

"I wish I knew but you'll only hurt more if you chase answers. Don't rely on closure to move on because if you do you'll always be a prisoner to them"

"How did you move on"

"I haven't and it hurts so fucking much but that's why I'm here. I don't want you to hurt for the rest of your life. They aren't worth it"

"I don't want to hurt, please help me" I pulled him to my chest and swam out of the water

"I won't let you hurt Wyatt, I promise. Whenever you feel alone, have a nightmare, or flashback you can come to me. I'll always be there for you"

"Thank you daddy"

"Anytime" he sneezed and shivered

"Hey what I want you to do is go upstairs, shower, change into your pjs, then head up to the library" he nodded and when inside

I followed behind and went to Vince's childhood room, showered, and changed into joggers. I was sure to grab a couple pillows and blankets then I headed to the library. Wyatt was already there

"What are we doing up here"

"There's a piano back here and it always makes me feel better to play. I figured I'd play you to bed hence the pillows and blankets"

"I didn't know you could play"

"No one does it's my little secret actually" I wasn't lying not even Marcelo knew I could play

Once he laid down I began playing. I specifically learned this song for Wyatt. It's you are my sunshine

After I finished the song I looked over to see him smiling with tears in his eyes

"Thank you"

"I can play this til you fall asleep or I can play different pieces. It's up to you"

"Play this please" I nodded and started from the top

I played for 20ish more minutes but stopped when I heard snoring

I got up and carried him to his bed. (We added a bed to Vincenzo's room for Wyatt)

After he was tucked in I went back to the library. There was also a guitar so I took it and climbed out Vincenzo window and began to play.

I always found the sounds of an acoustic guitar soothing. I played the piano to release emotions and the guitar was how I de stressed. It was a functional system. If I didn't play the guitar afterwards I'd have a lot of unchecked emotions

"I didn't know you played" I jumped at the sound of Vince's voice

"Yeah I dabble" I offered a weak grin

"How'd you get him to sleep" he asked referring to Wyatt

"I took him to the library and he fell asleep to my playing"

"You play the piano too? What else do you play"

"Violin, chelo, double bass, flute, saxophone, clarinet" I whispered

"That's really cool how come you never told me" he asked sitting next to me

"I don't like talking about myself you know that. I thought sitting on the roof was too dangerous"

"I thought I'd let it slide plus how fun would it be to Fuck on the roof"

"Our kid is right there"

"We can be quiet"

"How are you always so horny" I laughed

"I'm not right now but I really wanted to see you smile genuinely. We've been together for ages Lars I know when you fake a smile. You don't have to go through it alone. Let me in"

"I'm scared, I don't want you to think less of me if I do" I confessed

"Oscar nothing you say could ever drive me away"

"Well I'll take your word for it, we're should I start"

"I guess the beginning is a good place"
