Hope you like it💕💕

"Patrick's been pretty weird lately.." I confessed to Victor, my good friend and only one I could talk to about him.
"He might just be worried about the baby, give him a few days." Victor gave a comforting hand on my shoulder.
Baby? Yeah.
Me and Patrick Hockstetters baby, crazy I know. But it happened so I have to get over it, not sure if Patrick has though.
I'll just have to wait and see I guess.

It's been three days. No ones seen him.
Usually he'd been gone for a day tops, but three? Never.
With Patrick gone, I'd have almost no one. I should've known something was up.

Sliding down the bathroom wall, I started to cry. Tears fell fell down my face as I stared at the floor.
It didn't take long before I decided to get up, I paced in the hallway, then went to the phone.
I put in Victors number and tried to call myself down as it rang. He picked up and I explained that he needed to come over; he sounded confused but went along with it.

When Victor got here, he slowly walked over to me and sat down.

"Hey.." he said.

We sat in silence for a few moments. I wasn't sure what to say, I just wanted someone there.

"I think Patrick is actually gone. For good." I mumbled, my lips quivered as I tried to hold the rest of my tears.

"Yeah." He sighed.

I looked over at him, making eye contact as he looked back at me. His mouth turned into a slight frown and turned away, fumbling with his fingers in his lap.

"Should we tell the gang?" Victor suggested.

I thought about it for a minute before saying yes. It would probably be best to tell them, give them a reason why they're friend disappeared.
We both slowly got up and I whipped my cheeks free of tears.
As me and Victor walked out my house and started down the way to Henry's house where him and Belch were, I tried my best to compose my self.
I stopped the flow of tears and steadied my breathing, I hoped my face wouldn't be as read and puffy like it was when Victor had got to me.

As we got to the two, Victor gave me another comforting hand on my shoulder and I returned with a small smile.
Henry and Belch both turned away from whatever they were doing and looked to us, we were just getting off the gravel road and onto the grass.

"What?" Henry blatantly asked when he walked over to us, Belch trailing close behind him.

"You guys need to know something..okay?" My voice got quieter as I spoke.

"What is it?" Belch but in, he looked from me and to Victor, he looked worried.

I gave one last breath and proceeded to explain, everything.

-

Four years later and I was still going strong.
Me and the gang, Henry, Victor, and Belch, and my baby girl, Juliet.
After I told them about me being pregnant, they were with me through it all.
They helped me tell my parents and raise her, they really blossomed into great people along with myself.

To this day, they helped.

I had my own apartment, I graduated from high school and the gang did too. We lived minutes from each other and regularly got together, them all being big father figures to Juliet.

Such as now, when the three of them had come over to pick her up. They did this on some days in the week, usually when I had important things to do, they came and watched her.

I finished packing her bag full of essentials, when the door bell rang.
Juliet knew what it meant and exclaimed in excitement. I chuckled and went and opened it up, to not much surprise, the three of them were standing there.

"Hey!" Belch barged in, going straight over her and picking her up.

Belch was the to most dad like to her, Victor was a close second and Henry was more of a uncle but still loved her to bits.

I watched as all three of them came in and greeted little Juliet, her ear to ear smile on her face.

"Okay, here's her bag and please don't do anything stupid." I jokingly pleaded and handed the bag off to Victor.

"We won't." Victor laughed.

I said my goodbyes and left the apartment and over walked to my car.

It made me happy to know everything turned out okay even with Patrick gone.
