Chapter fourteen
Patton sniffled and cried and yelled and sobbed but nothing got rid of his sadness.
His mother didn't care for him. And she was forcing him to do something he didn't want-an abortion.
Maybe he should..run away?
No, where would he go?!
...Logan's house...
Maybe he could get out through his window, but what if he hurt the baby? Maybe he was to early in pregnancy to hurt it?
The window did seem very tempting.
He sat there for a few moments before making his decision...
His dad came in there and helped him out but he wouldn't be able to stomach seeing his mother every day when she looked at him with disgust...

"Aunt Sheila!" Emile yelled as he ran through the front door and up to her, everyone trailing behind him, "how dare you do such a thing to Patton!"
"...Who the hell is Patton?"
"I meant Pamela-sorry" he cringed, "they have similar names-anyways, how could you?! She got raped, we rescued her, the police were called, she was tied up naked in a shabby wooden run down house in the woods!"
Sheila began to feel bad, what they were saying wasn't true, right?
"I think she's in denial" Logan stated, pushing up his glasses.
"What? I am not!-"
"Patton's probably up there crying his eyes out, traumatized because he got raped, and you don't believe him?!"
"HEY!" Roman exclaimed, "were you there?!? BECAUSE WE WERE. How could you even SAY something like that?!? WHO WOULD LIE ABOUT GETTING RAPED?!"
"Well-"
"No." Logan said, "No. were you there when we watched helplessly as he was kidnapped? Knocked unconscious, pinned to the ground with Janus on top of him?! Were you there when our friend's mother-!" He pointed to Alessandra, "ran into the woods after him in an attempt to save him? You should see her!"
"Logan-" Patton's mother began again as she looked over. She was still caked in dirt and blood, never having a chance to wash off-and god that hair-
"No! No no no no no-we found him alone in a shack in the woods, tied up, bruised, bleeding and bloody! Do you know how afraid he must have been?!? He has marks all over him!"
Luckily, she didn't notice Roman using he/him pronouns, or the use of the name Patton because she was already running up the stairs, everybody following behind.
"Pamela!" She shouted, opening the door.
There Patton was, suitcase in hand, climbing out of the window.
"Pam!" She yelled, grabbing his wrist, pulling him back inside, "what are you doing?!"
Patton began to cry, "going to Logan's house! If you don't love me now because i'm pregnant, then i'm leaving you! Do you know how hard this is going to be for me?!" Patton sobbed.
"Patton-I'm sorry, I didn't know that-"
"Really?! You didn't know?!? Because I told you, but you didn't care for me- me enough to-to-to trust me!"
"Pamela.." Sheila said, giving him a hug, "i'll always accept you- no matter wh-"
"Really?! Because five minutes ago you were hellbent on never speaking to him again" Remy told her.
"This does not concern you, "friend of my nephew or whoever you are."
"Boyfriend actually" Remy smirked.
"Remy!" Emile whispered with a blush.
Remy snapped, "and proud to be!"
"Wait hold the hell on-"
"Alright, I need to speak to my child and my nephew for a few minutes alone, could everybody else please exit the room? Thank you!" She said shoving them out, and closing the door.
They all, of course stayed by the door and listened, "I feel like the daughters from Pride and Prejudice" Roman whispered.
They put their ears by the door and listened.
"He was joking right, you aren't gay, are you?"
Emile hesitated, but with a sigh, said, "I am."
"I-" she began, "...I don't know how your mother would react to this, but I suppose that its your decision... and I will have to learn to accept that...and Pamela, I'm so sorry for how I acted earlier, I promise i'll help you through this...every step of the way" she explained.
Patton teared up, "thanks mom" and he hugged her.
And they smiled.
And everything was fine.
"Oh Pamela..I acted so harshly" she whispered, "even if you had just gotten pregnant as a result of sex..you still would have needed your mother's guidance, not a mother who'd never speak to you again."
"It-it's okay mom" he said, shaking and crying as she pulled him in for a hug, "mom I was so, so scared" he whispered.

Later that night, Sheila went to the police station and demanded for the two who raped her daughter to be arrested.
"My daughter..a victim of rape! I just cannot believe it!"
"Ma'am calm down, sit in your chair, and tell me all you know" the officer said.
"Well, his friends know a lot more than I do but i'll tell you all I know."
————————————————————
Patton and his mother decided that he'd go to school until he began to show.
Patton was BFFs with practically everyone in his grade, everyone knew each other since kindergarten, and they all were kind and accepting, especially to him. He knew they wouldn't judge him.
When they got there they saw two seniors picking on a freshman.
"Hey remember when we were those freshman?" Patton asked the two bullies as he glared at you, "well I do. Who did you come crying to when you were getting teased?!"
"We came to you..." one said
"...Hey..I never thought of that before.." one of the other guys said.
"Yeah...i'm sorry" they said to the freshman.
"No problem" he squeaked and ran away.
"Wow Pat, how'd you do that?" Roman asked.
"Oh, you know. I have my ways" he said, smiling.
