That was the last time Scotty would ever celebrate his brithday. It was the first brithday after his Nan died. His nineteenth brithday and Nick wanted to go to the pub in the village it had been a week since the funeral.
"Come on Monty, it your birthday. I'm not saying go have a party just smile for once your Nan wouldn't want to be sad forever."
Nick was one of the only people that still Monty. He sighed he knew Nick was right but he still he did have a reason to be sad on his birthday mainly due to the fact that his mother died of bloodloss soon after his brith. His Nan never meet his mother, she didn't even know her son had a girlfriend until Duncan had left Montgomery with her.
"I know it's just. She was my only family."
Scotty took a drink from his beer. While Nick smiled.
"Isn't your dad back, that must be nice."
Scotty put his glass down and looked at Nick with a sad look on his face.
"I've never meet him, this is the frist time I've actually meet him. I mean I have seen photos of him but never seen or talk to him in person."
Scotty took another drink. Nick wrapped his arm around Scotty shoulders and smiled at him. He leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. Scotty smiled as he put his glass down and turned to Nick and kiss him on the lips. Just as luck would have it Scotty's drunken father walked into the pub. Duncan began to yell at his son.
"How dare you act so like that on the day your mother died, did you ever thing about that. How that every time you... you celebrate this day you celebrate the day your mother died from giving live to you you should be more great full you like shit."
Scotty just stood up and walked out the pub Nick was following him. He could feel the tears on his face. Nick wrapped his arms and him as he pulled him into a hug. Scotty began to cry. Nick started to talk to him.
"Monty, do you want to talk about it?"
Scotty just shook his head.
"I just want to go to yours"
Nick nodded and lead them away from the pub where they could still here Scotty dad yelling.
The next morning he went back to his Nan house to find the locks changed and a bag of new belongings. He never wanted to celebrate his brithday again.
