Define Pain

by Stars Of Light

Then the memories came back. The young 14 year old teen "disappeared into thin air," or as the news reported had said it. The Fenton case that was closed by his parents, because they (along with everyone else) believed he was dead. And yet, here he was. Beaten and bruised, but alive.

5. A Mother's Relief

(A/N okay so, I read through the story realizing that there were some minor mistakes in the story, I did make the corrections, but just so everyone is clear: Danny has been ghost hunting for almost 2 years and with the GIW for almost a year. He and Valerie are juniors.)

Chapter 5:

Before her son went missing, Madeline Fenton had to put up with Danny's ridiculous lies and excuses. Although she was quite upset due to the fact that it was her son, risking his life to save the world, and that she's been hunting her boy, it was such a relief knowing what he's been doing for the past two years. In fact, Danny wasn't even declared missing until a month after he disappeared. Due to the events that happened the night before:

**********************Flashback**********************

Maddie clicked her phone on, before quickly turning it back off.

3:48 AM.

What could a teenage boy be possibly doing at almost four in the morning? Maddie Fenton was just completely exhausted, not just physically, but emotionally with the behavior of Danny lately. His grades has been slipping drastically and his report cards where disasters. She was constantly getting phone calls from school about him ditching class or not even showing up at all. Any amount of yelling or punishment seems to not leave any effect on Danny either. Maddie signed.

Click. 3:57 AM.

She was worried about her son, but he won't say anything. What happened to my baby boy, she thought, the one who told me everything? The one who I used to do everything with? And there she was, sitting on a chair in Danny's room, waiting for the arrival of her son.

She jumps as the window suddenly opens and a bright flash momentarily blinds her. A fourteen year old boy, stumbles through the windows, as his mother watch him collapse onto his bed, breathing raggedly. Gingerly he begins to remove his shirt, but Maddie, whom seen enough, quickly turns on the light.

Maddie watched his son quickly put his shirt back on, and stand to face her. Although, she could clearly see the deep red blood, leaking through his white t-shirt. Another injury.

"Do you know what time it is?" she asked sternly.

"Yes, it's….. 4:03 AM." he answered, turning to look at his bedside clock.

Unfortunately, Maddie didn't see the humor. "Is this some kind of joke to you?"

"Mom, please," he stated,"I have school in a few hours can we talk about this later."

"Well, judging on your amazing grades, and perfect attendances, you surly do care about your grades." answered Maddie, tears falling down her face.

"Well, it's just not my highest property at the moment." Danny said, almost yelling. A tone Maddie had never heard her son use before. She described it as "scary."

"What is so important, that you can't focus during school?" She yelled, using the same tone he used.

No answer.

After a minute or two of silence she asks: "What is that?" pointing to the blood on his shirt.

"I fell."

Maddie looked down. She couldn't look at her son anymore. It was unbearable.

"I don't know what to do with you anymore." And with that, she left crying in her room, with the sounds of Jack's snoring covering her sobs.

********************Flashback over********************

Danny wasn't in his bed the next day. They thought he had runaway, she thought. It took a whole month. One month before he was declared missing.

"Bye mom!"

She let the spoon she was stirring her coffee, cling rather loudly, the voice disrupting her thoughts. There a recovering boy, dressed in a dark faded shirt, with sleeves that were rolled up to his elbows, black skinny jeans, and converse, was standing in her front of her, with a smile glue to his face. "Bye, sweetie have a nice day!" she said, seeing her son run off to his "first day" of his junior year.

"You know," Jack spoke, "the kids at school are going to wonder about those scars."

Maddie smiled. She should have smiled right? I mean, how many parents get to see their child after they had disappear?
