It’s Monday morning in a bright sunny day
Mr Rodgers as usual was farming
“Dad I’m off to school”
“Okay have a nice day son” he said
Mr Rodgers had put Brendan back in school
Shows a lot of affection for his son, works Monday to Sunday to pay his tuition
“Don’t get in trouble again today son okay,,keep out of trouble “ he yelled out
“ i will keep out of trouble daddy I promise “
It’s his third day in school and Brendan had been bullied two times
He tries as much as possible not to fight anyone
“Ouch my hand” Brendan cried out
A group of boys had beaten him up , his eyes were swollen and has a broken bone
Brendan ran crying to his teacher
“Who did this to you Brendan “
“I got into a fight with some people and they had beaten me up”
“Who are these people son” Mrs Sophia said
Brendan refused to call names , scared to the bone they were gonna come after him again
First aid giving to him , fell asleep like a baby
The bell rang and it was time to go home
“I’m home dad”Brendan voiced out with pains
The room was silent and nobody responded
Brendan searched the whole house and it was empty , he was getting scared
“Mr richard did you see my dad leave the house “ Brendan asked his neighbour
“No son , your father has been home the whole day he should be at home
Brendan was confused , there was no where his father could be other than home
He had no friends any longer , he cut off all his friends since he stopped drinking
He continued to search everywhere no results , he reached for the farm and yelled out
“Dad I’m home dad , I’m hurt dad” Brendan yelled out as his voice began to shake
Brendan loved his dad to his core, after being left by his mother , his dad became his world and he promised to give his dad a better life
Becoming a medical doctor has been Brendan dreams .
Brendan looked forward and saw something like a man lying down
He ran towards there with tears on his eyes
“Dad, Dad wake up!” Brendan cried out
Mr Rodgers has shot him self with a gun , lying down covered in blood
All this were like a dream to Brendan
Brendan kept yelling out
“Dad, wake up I’m home dad “
No response from his dad
He hands were as cold as Ice, his eyes were wide open
Brendan ran to his neighbour
“Sir Sir, my dad can’t move I don’t know what’s wrong with him”
Mr richard followed him to the spot
“Oh my God son what happened “ mr richard asked as he dialled 911
“ I don’t know sir, I just came over here and saw him lying down I thought he was sleeping till I turned him over and saw his eyes wide open I don’t know why is eyes are like that sir” Brendan said as he cried out
The police had arrived within 5 min , check mr Rodgers pulse and confirmed him dead
“Take the boy out of here” the police man voiced out
“This is a suicide case “ The police man said to mr richard
Mr richard, known as mr Rodgers best friend
Was left in tears and severe pains
“Why Brendan “ mr Richards questions God as he looked up to the sky
Brendan couldn’t stop crying as his second love had left him
Life it self has a way of playing it’s tricks
Brendan had been an orphan at the age of 15
Life meant nothing to him anymore
He was taken to an orphanage home as he had nobody to help him, nobody cared about him
Brendan stopped eating and got very skinny
He lived a life of Terror in the orphanage home
“Good day miss” mr richard said as he arrived at the orphanage home
“Good day mr how can I help you “
“I’m here to abduct a child who goes by the name Brendan Rodgers “
Brendan was seen fighting with friends when he was called upon
“Come on here you naughty child” miss Emily voiced out
A smile on his face and for the first time in weeks , Brendan hugged mr richard as it’s been years they saw each other
“ what you doing here sir, it’s been a while “
“Oh yes I know that son, by the way I’m here to abduct you to give you the best life you could ever imagine “
Brendan slapped his self two times to make sure it wasn’t a dream
“ it’s reality son it’s not a dream, me and your dad had been friends for over 10 years , it will mean a lot to me abducting you and giving you the life your dad always wanted “
Brendan couldn’t believe his ears
“Sir you mean you are taking me out of this shitty hole”
“ yes son I am , go pack your bags son , let’s head for California “
Brendan hugged him with a smile on his face
“I’m grateful sir I promise to be a good boy, I’m gonna pay you back sir for your kind deed”
“It’s alright son , you have a bright future ahead of you , and I’m willing to support you and give you all the help you need to achieve your dreams son”
Bags all packed, with a happy face said goodbye to his friends
“It’s that your car sir”
“No son that’s our car from now on”
