Okay. So I'm sorry for being such a horrible updater. I just started high school in August, and those evil teachers have just piled me with homework. Anyway, the next chapter of Whatever the Cost is underway, and here is the latest page of Tears of a Hero. Please read and enjoy, because I had to find time to write this. Reviews are greatly appreciated! I should also be able to update Whatever the Cost this week, since it is Thanksgiving, maybe even Mending His Broken Heart.
Cheers,

First Grade
Percy loved his mom more than anyone in the world. She was pretty, funny, nice, and best of all, she smelled like candy! Percy just wished that she could live with someone just as nice as her. Someone other than Smelly Gabe. Mommy deserved more than him.
So, every time Percy came home, he tried to be the best little boy he could be. He (attempted) to cook her dinner. Percy (miraculously) kept his room clean. He even watered all of her plants, without even lifting a finger. Percy always found it odd that water seemed to pay attention to him.
One day, as Percy got home from school, he realized that his Mommy wasn't back yet. She was probably still working at the candy shop. Then he smelled beer and cigarettes—the scent of Smelly Gabe and his friends. Percy hated their card parties. They made the house smell bad, no matter how much "fabweezey" Percy used. As Percy entered, he quietly hid inside the kitchen pantry.
"Man, I can't believe that b*tch ain't back yet," Gabe muttered. "I'm getting really hungry too."
Percy couldn't believe his ears. Gabe had called his mommy a bad word. His fist tightened, and began to shake.
"Yeah, she better get home fast and make us some food." said Eddy. "You sure she isn't out doing something? She ain't bad looking…."
Percy was confused at that point. What would Mommy be doing other than selling candy? What did Eddy mean?
Gabe growled. "The woman wouldn't do anything like that. She knows she belongs to me."
Percy hated the fact that Gabe acted like Mommy was like a toy of his. Mommy was a person, a beautiful, nice person. No one owns her.
"She hasn't even done laundry in so long. That lazy b*tch won't do a dang thing around here."
That was it. Percy couldn't take it anymore. He leapt out from his hiding spot and started to scream at Gabe.
"You-you, you big fat smelly head! My mommy is the best mommy in the world!" Percy shouted. "Mommy is hard-working, and she does all the work here! You don't do a thing, Smelly Gabe!"
Gabe started to get up to yell at the kid, then yelped in surprise. The fire sprinklers overhead had suddenly bursted. Percy smiled. The water had listened to him again.
Right as Gabe was about to smack Percy, Sally walked into the room, shocked by the scene before her. Gabe and his friends were screaming, trying to keep the food getting wet, and stealing as much money from the table as possible.
Percy walked over to Sally and hugged her. As she thought, he was completely dry when he should've been as soaked as the jerks prancing about in front of her.
"Mommy, they were saying some bad things about you!" Percy said, his face beginning to wet. Gabe called you a bad word, and said you didn't do a thing, and Eddie said that you were out 'doing something'!"
Sally's eyes hardened. "Did they now?"
Percy nodded. "So I came out a yelled at them, and made the water sprinkle all over them!" His face beamed. "I am Mommy's hero, remember?"
Sally's heart softened at the sight of her cute little boy. Percy was right—like she said a year ago to this day, Percy is her hero. For now, that's all that mattered.
Well, there we go. It's not the best, I know. Sorry, I ran out of ideas. Anyway, please be patient and work with me! Updates are coming! That is, IF you review! So…REVIEWREVIEWREVIEW!
