Todd had absolutly no idea how he had allowed Kurt to talk him into calling his mother again but he had. Tonya had been happy to hear from him again, she had thought that Todd never would have contacted her again after the last time they had seen each other. And to be honest Todd almost hadn't. He had planned to never call her again, to never have anything to do with her again but Kurt had talked him into calling her again.
That had been three months ago, and it had taken Kurt a month to talk him into calling her again, so it had been four months since he had last seen his mother. They had talked over the phone until now, she had thought it was better. Todd agreed seeing as every other time they had met in person had ended with Todd getting upset. But the other day he had agreed to come to her house for dinner and meet her new husband. Just like the other times he had met with her Kurt was coming with him. There was no way Todd was ready to face this kind of thing without the support of Kurt. And if everything went south Kurt could teleport if needed.
And those were the reasons he was now standing on the sidewalk and staring up at a pale yellow house with black shutters. It was a nice house, the lawn was trimmed and there were flower beds in front of the house on eiether side of the closed in porch. And Todd could see a rose bush peeking out from the left side. The house looked nothing like the house the had lived in when he was little. He was thankful for that, he probably wouldn't have handled it very well if the house had resembled his childhood home. Kurt layed a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him tilting his head towards the house. Todd took a deep breath before walking forward, Kurt still beside him.
It was time to face his mother, and finally put the past that had caused him so much pain, and had drove him to try and kill himself behind him. There was no more hiding, not anymore.
