Rescue me

T.K. P.O.V 

When we get up it's already 2pm. We eat something while talking. My phone is laying on the table. My dad is calling. I decline the call. 

Carlos: oh our test results are here. 

Buck: really? *grabs his phone* 

Eddie: and? How did it went? 

Buck: i got an C. That's okay *laughs* better than I expected and better than last year 

Carlos: i got an A 

Buck: of course you got an A *laughs* I mean you had an A last year as well 

Eddie: what about you T.K? 

T.K: an E... *sighs* i thought I did a better job...I'll drive home now. We see each other tomorrow *gives Carlos a small kiss* 

I get upstairs, grab my stuff and go to my car. I drive around before I drive home. My dad is waiting for me.

Owen: where were you? 

T.K: none of your Business

Owen: it is my Business. You're still living under my roof 

T.K: i was at Bucks Place. Eddie is back from Afghanistan since Friday so we spent an evening together. Problem with that? 

Owen: you could have told me. Or answer my calls and texts. I was worried 

T.K: you weren't worried *laughs annoyed* I mean you would have known where I was if you were at my game. Like you promised to me.

Owen: i needed to work! 

T.K: sure. Work. Like always 

Owen: how was your test on Friday 

T.K: don't have the results yet 

Owen: T.K don't lie to me 

T.K: i failed okay! So what? 

Owen: T.K this is important. You can't fail this year. If you do you can't finish school. I thought you studied for this test 

T.K: i did dad! I studied so much! 

Owen: maybe you need to stop with basketball and concentrate on your school stuff 

T.K: are you kidding me?? No I won't stop with basketball. 

Owen: T.K school is more important than some sport 

T.K: are you kidding me?! I love plying basketball and I thought you are on my side. I thought you were happy for me 

Owen: i was but school is more important. 

T.K: that's not fair!! *shouts* 

Owen: stop shouting at me! 

T.K: no i won't!! *angry* 

Owen: T.K! Are you taking drugs again? Why are you so aggressive?? 

T.K: because you go on my nerves!! You promised me something and again work was more important and no I did not take anything again. You were happy if I did am I right? So you have another reason to be mad at me. Why can't you just let me live my life. Thanks! 

I run upstairs. Grab some stuff and go outside to my car.

Owen: T.K come back! I'm serious! If you go now you're grounded until you graduate! 

T.K: bye dad * gets into the car and drives away* 

I drive to the beach and sit down in the sand. It's our favorite spot. Carlos and mine. I sigh and stare at the waves. 

Carlos P.O.V 

I don't know why he was gone so quickly. Should I be worried? I don't know. I look into bucks and Eddies confused faces. 

Buck: what was that? 

Eddie: I have no idea. I thought his grades were getting better 

Carlos: yes that's why I'm confused why he failed this test. We studied so much for it. I think he was sad because his dad didn't show up to his game yesterday. It was so important for him 

Buck: why didn't he show up. 

Eddie: maybe he was working. 

Chimney: *comes into the kitchen* hey boys *smiles* slept well? 

Eddie: yeah thanks *smiles* I saw that Maddie is pregnant. Congrats you two 

Chimney: thank you *smiles* 

Eddie: how far along is she?

Chimney: 22 weeks now *smiles* 

Carlos: i thought 21. guess I was wrong *laughs* 

Chimney: yeah from today it is the 22th week 

Buck: how was work? 

Chimney: good. We had the captain from the other shift because Bobby was having a day off

Eddie: so you had captain strand. Did he the shift because he wanted to or because he had to? 

Chimney: he did it because he wanted to work a double shift. Why? 

Carlos: wow that's really not fair. T.K told him how important This game was for him 

Chimney: which game? 

Buck: T.K had his first basketball game yesterday after his accident. It was important for him that his dad is there but he wasn't there 

Chimney: maybe he should talk to him about how he feels 

Eddie: he did. 

Carlos: but I don't think That they will speak calmly today. I think I should go and look after him. 

Eddie: text me if you find him. 

Carlos: sure. Bye guys. Bye chimney 

Chimney: bye 

I go to my car and drive to T.Ks home. His dad opens the door. 

Owen: T.Ks not here if you came to see him. 

Carlos: oh okay. You know where he is? 

Owen: no but if you find him tell him that this will have consequences. 

Carlos: Uhm okay. I'll go now. 

Owen: bye Carlos *closes the door* 

Carlos: well this was weird. So where could he be? 

I try to call him a few times but his phone is turned off. I start to drive around. 

T.K. P.O.V 

I sit in the sand and stare at the joint in my hand. Almost 10months I'm clean. I put the joint down and grab a normal cigarette out of my backpack. I grab the lighter and start to smoke it. Sometimes I smoke a normal cigarette when I feel like smoking. Sure it's not the same but it's better than a joint. I grab another one. After I finish the second one I still don't feel better. I take the joint again. I stare at it. Should I do it? I don't know. I stare at the waves. I grab another cigarette and smoke it. Then I grab the joint and the lighter. 

Carlos: what are you doing here? *looks at him* 

T.K: *tries to hide the joint* nothing 

Carlos: i know what you're hiding. 

T.K: please don't be mad *quietly* I didn't smoke it. I promise 

Carlos: give it to me. *sits down next to him* 

T.K: *hands him the joint* are you mad?

Carlos: Look at me. In the eyes 

T.K: *looks into his eyes* I promise I didn't smoke it. 

Carlos: i believe you. Your eyes look normal *turns off the joint* you wanted to smoke it am I right? 

T.K: i was thinking about it yeah *sighs* 

Carlos: why? 

T.K: because *sighs* because I mess up everything. My life is just shit right now

Carlos: no it's not. You came so far. Don't destroy it. 

T.K: i felt like doing it a Long time now. Every time when I wanted to do it I smoked a normal cigarette to calm down. Normally it works but today...I smoked three and still feel like shit 

Carlos: babe *sighs and hugs him tight* 

I hide my face in his shirt and tears roll over my face. 

T.K: i don't want to fail school...but my dad said I need to stop playing basketball because I failed this stupid test *sobs* 

Carlos: you can do it. I'll help you. I promise. 

T.K: thanks but you have a lot to do as well. *sighs* 

Carlos: we can do this *kisses him* 

T.K: thank you *sobs* for everything 

Carlos: no Problem. I love you 

T.K: love you too. 

Carlos: come on we should go home 

T.K: no please let us stay here for some more time 

He nods and we stay here until early evening. Then I go home. Scared about what's going to happen...
