Chapter 2-Seize the Day
Carlos
~I sure hope he okay. He sounded very depress, like when he found out his foster parents tried to kill him.~
Carlos was an English teacher for sixth grader and he was the best there. His students always have a passing grade or better. If somebody were starting to fail, he would personally teach that dragon how to do something. Carlos would always take something very complicated and make it as easy as breathing. I swear he got that from me but still he did a very good job. Whom ever he was teaching privately was always the best student the next day.
Anyways, Carlos went over to his calendar and looked if he had anything-important coming up. It was Saturday, so there was no school and he did have a doctor appointment but that was at three. He looked at the clock he kept in the living room and it read 11:10 A.M.
~I will visit him now; I could tell that things are not going to well. He even told me things are not working out for him.~
Mr. and Mrs. Lawler
My parents were at work when I called them. They were happy to hear from me again but they could tell that something was wrong by the sound of my voice. They both got ready to leave but before they left, they called in one of their employees.
"You wanted to see me sir and maim."
"Yeah, the Mrs. and I are going to be gone for a while and we want you in charged of the factory."
"Really, thank you. I promise you won't regret this!"
"You will be fine; we will be back as soon as possible."
"If it okay with you, why are you leaving?"
"Our son called us and wanted us to visit him. I could tell that he was also very depressed."
"I'm sorry; I hope he gets better soon."
"Me too."
With that, both Mr. and Mrs. Lawler left the factory and started to drive to my house.
Kevin
Kevin was in his room, he was planning to come out to Serah and I but after what happened, he decided to delay it.
He was more worry about me though, he knows that I have had a very poor life and this is probably the worst thing that has happened so far. I told him that suicide was never the answer but after what happened, he fared that I might commit suicide.
I told him all my life and how depressing it was, to stop him from ever thinking that suicide was always an alternative.
He decided that he would be with me, every step of the way and help me fight through this tragedy. He step outside of his room, which was Carlos's old room, and walks to the living room.
As he walked in, the doorbell ringed and he saw me opened the door.
Carlos and Parents
Carlos pulled into the driveway and before getting out of his car, my parents pulled up behind him.
Carlos and my parents greeted each other and they both realize that I must be extremely depressed if I needed my parents and my best friends since high school.
"Carlos, do you know what happened to Drake?"
"No, all he told me is that he needed to be surrounded by loved ones. He said he would tell me in person. Did he tell you anything?"
"All he told us if we can come for a visit."
"Let's go inside, I have a bad feeling that he may want to commit suicide."
They both walked up the steps and Carlos rang the doorbell.
I was still on the sofa, crying my heart out again, but when I heard the doorbell ring, I wiped my tears away and walked to the door. Every single step felt like I was wasting my time, that I was always going too separated from Serah and nothing would bring her back.
I opened the door and saw both Carlos and my parents. They both say the tears that were on my face and I asked them to come in before they ask any question.
Kevin walked into the living room and sat next to his grandparents. I closed the door and walked back to the living room. I sat down in the recliner, leaving Carlos and my parents to the sofa. It was only then did I saw Kevin sitting with them.
"Can you tell us what wrong Drake, we want to help you but we can't if you don't tell us?"
"I can tell you," Kevin said after he realizes that I really do not want to say what has happened.
"Yesterday, my mom or his wife, Serah, was murder last night."
"What by who!?"
"We still don't know and to make matters worse, he lose his job that same day."
"Drake is that true."
I started to cry again and I nodded. I could fell the warm and supportive hands on my shoulder.
"It okay Drake, We will help you. You have been through this before, and you will make it through again."
I looked up to see that everybody was around me, and I knew that all of themed really cared about me.
I tried to stand up and hugged them but as soon as I got up, I started to fall down. I was weak; I did not eat anything yesterday and this morning. I was too sad to eat, and right now, I wish I did.
Thankfully, they were surrounding me and they caught me before I fell.
They told me to relax and they set me down on the couch. They all told me that they would do whatever they can to help me through this. My parents even asked to move in with me. I agreed and they went home to get their house.
Carlos had to leave to his doctor appointment and I was alone with Kevin.
"Kevin, can you come over here please?"
Kevin walked over to me and he placed his arm across my back.
"Kevin, thank you for telling them what happened for me. There just one thing I want to know; when were you going to tell me you are Gay?"
Kevin gulped and he was nervous now.
~How did he found out?~
"I was going to tell you when I got home but when you told me what happened, I decided to delay it until you were felling better. Are you mad at me?"
"Now why would I be mad at you? I want you to be happy and live a happy life; it does not matter to me what gender you chasing after. I want to live a better life then I have had so far."
Kevin hugged me tightly and I could hear him say thank you repeatedly.
"Om dad, There one thing I want to know."
"And what would that be?"
"How did you find out I was gay?"
"I was cleaning your room when I saw the magazine you had in your room, filled with naked dragons."
"Oh," Kevin started too blushed madly and I hugged him.
"It okay, t kind of figured that you would become gay anyways."
"Wait, what did you say?"
"I knew you would look after other men, to be honest I was looking at them too when I was in college. That was until I met you mom."
"You were looking at men too! Wow that a surprise."
"Kevin, I want you to be happy with your life, don't let somebody opinion get in your way of finding happiness. Just live each moment as if it your last and when you grow old, you will look back at your life and smile at all the wonderful moments in life."
"Carpe Diem, Seize the Day. You got that from a Dream Theater song."
"Yeah so, that doesn't mean that the message isn't true."
I finally had a good conversation with my son after such a long time. It felt as if we were brother instead of father and son.
Not much later, my parents came in and I should them to their room. I was happy, even though I lost my wife. I was given another day to remember all the memories I had with her.
I was happy that Mr. Ryan told me to seize the day and enjoy every moment while I can. He was right when he said that life passes by fast. If it were not for him, I would have killed myself after my wife died. I honestly wish that I could have talked with her one last time but it okay. She is in a better place right now, and I know that she with me, guiding me along the way.
