Thanks so much for y'alls support guys! XD I'm so glad everyone likes this story so far. I don't own P&F...

Lawrence walked up to his son's room with a plate of food. He knocked on the door before entering, and found that his teenage son was curled up on his bed and was fast asleep. Lawrence leaned up against the doorframe and watched as his son slumbered. Every once in a while, his boy would moan and move ever so slightly. He wanted to let him sleep for a little longer, but he also wanted to get this thing about sneaking out and lying out of the way more. So he closed the door and walked all the way over to the bed. He sat down on the edge and gave Ferb a slight nudge on his shoulder.

Ferb's eyes fluttered open, then back closed. He moaned as he stretched his arms over his head and opened up his eyes again. He turned his head and saw his dad sitting on the bed, watching him wake up.

Lawrence smiled, "Hey there, I brought you up some food in case you were hungry."

Ferb sat up on the bed and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. Once his dad handed him the plate, Ferb gave him a polite nod and began eating. Lawrence watched as his son ate, and began to rub the back of his neck,

"Ferb um… we need to talk…"

Ferb stopped eating and looked up at his dad.

"You know that I can't just ignore everything that happened, son. I am relieved that you or Phineas didn't…"

He couldn't say the word 'die', but Ferb knew exactly what he meant. Ferb put the plate of food to the side and sat up straighter on the bed.

Lawrence sighed, "I don't know what you two were thinking, I mean why would you do this to us Ferb? Why would you and your brother betray your mum and I's trust like this? What you did was something I could never EVER picturing you doing… who's idea was it anyway?"

Ferb gulped, "Phineas got the tickets somehow and… surprised me with them."

"So Phineas got the tickets, and then?"

"When I looked at the date and saw it was a school night, I pointed it out to him and told him that you two would let us go out then. That's when he threw out the idea of… sneaking out."

"I see… and you did nothing to stop this? You didn't try to talk him out of it?"

Ferb hesitated, "Y… yes… I mean no father, I did nothing… to try and stop this."

Lawrence ran his hand through his hair. He breathed in and out and tried to keep his anger in check, "So you thought that you two could get away with all of this? You thought that you would be able to sneak out and come back without your mum and I noticing?"

Ferb lowered his eyes, "Phineas said the plan was foolproof…"

"Are you calling us fools son?"

Ferb quickly looked up, "No, no father I wouldn't-"

"Because it sounds like you are." Lawrence was starting to raise his voice, "Ferb what you and Phineas did was stupid and childlike. You snuck around our backs, you deceived us and you lied to us."

"I never lied!"

Lawrence raised an eyebrow, "Oh really? Remember when your brother told me that you two were going to have a relaxing evening, and you nodded? You agreed with him and nodded your head. What would you call that son?"

Ferb bit his lip and looked down at his feet.

"Answer me Ferb!"

Ferb winced as he looked back up, "A… lie?"

Lawrence nodded his head sadly, "And not only that, you two have been living a lie for the past two days. Without saying anything at all, you two still lied to us. And I can honestly say that I've never been more disappointed in you Ferb…"

Ferb felt tears springing into his eyes. The last thing he has ever wanted to do was hurt his dad, and after spending years trying to impress and please his dad, it all was ruined by these past two days.

"You will not be allowed to drive for a whole month, so I'm going to have to ask for your license."

Ferb raised an eyebrow, "Dad you can trust me, if you say that I can't drive then I-"

"That's the thing Ferb, I don't trust you right now. That's why I'm taking away the license. To make sure that you won't sneak out and take someone else's car when I'm not looking."

Ferb's eyes grew wide. His dad didn't trust him anymore? He has lost his dad's trust?

"Ferb hand over you license now… I won't ask again."

Ferb sighed as he reached over to grab his wallet. He fished out his license and handed it to his dad, who took it and put it into his pocket.

"I'll also be confiscating your toolbox for a month as well…"

Ferb sighed, "Father please, I'm not going to be able to do anything for a month anyway…"

"Well then, maybe I should ground you for an entire year? How would you like that?"

Ferb flinched at his father's tone, and scooted further away from him. Lawrence sighed and rubbed his temple,

"Forgive me, son… I didn't mean that at all. I'm just…" tears sprung into Lawrence's eyes as he spoke, "Ferb, you and Phineas scared your mum and I. When we found out you two were in the hospital, we were nearly crushed. On the drive over we didn't know anything. We didn't know whether you two were alive or on the verge of dying. Those moments to the hospital were the hardest moments of my life, and I never want to think about whether you two are alive or d… dead ever again."

Ferb was taken aback. He has made his father cry… his father is crying. Ferb rubbed his eyes and felt his bottom lip tremble. He wanted to say he was sorry and promise he would never let his dad down again, but the words couldn't form out of his mouth.

Lawrence took a deep breath and looked sadly at his son, "I must've done something wrong… I must've done something to make you do this. I'm sorry, Ferb… I'm so sorry."

Ferb shook his head and felt the tears running down his cheeks, "Father no… you've done nothing wrong. It was me, it was all me… I said yes to going, I lied and deceived you and mum, I drove the car, I forced myself to have a good time and I got into the accident. I deserve every bruise and every scratch… I'm the bad one. I'm a bad son…"

Ferb couldn't finish talking. He broke down into heart wrenching sobs and buried his head into his hands. He felt his dad shifting closer to him and putting his arms around his back. Ferb buried his head into his dad's shirt and cried out all of his apologizes.

"I'm so sorry… I didn't mean for this… it's my entire fault that Phineas is hurt. I'm so sorry dad…"

Lawrence rubbed his son's back and soothed him, "Easy there, Ferb easy… this is not all your fault. You're not a bad son… you could never be a bad son. Now please calm down, shh… Daddy's here for you, son… shh."

Ferb felt a small migraine coming on, but he kept his head buried into his dad's shoulder. His father shifted his weight and adjusted his son's body position so that Ferb was now sitting in his lap. Ferb wrapped his arms around his dad's back and kept his head on his dad's shoulder. Lawrence continued to rub his son's back and speak soothingly,

"You know I love you, son… no matter what you do, I will always love you. I'm just so glad that you're back with us safe and sound. And soon Phineas will be back here with us, and we'll all be back together as one big happy family."

Ferb nodded his head against his dad's shirt and pulled back so he was looking up at him. At this moment, instead of seeing his almost full-grown son, Lawrence saw a young boy looking for help and comfort.

Lawrence sighed and wiped away a few tears from his son's eyes, "Ferb I am not mad anymore… I am still disappointed, but not mad. I love you and your brother so much, and I just want to see you two make the right choices so you'll grow up to be bright young men."

Ferb nodded and wiped his nose with the sleeve of his shirt. He cleared his nose and looked sadly at his dad,

"How can I earn your trust back?"

Lawrence surprised by this. Not two minutes ago his son was wailing into his shoulder, now he's asking how he'd be able to earn his father's trust back. Lawrence tipped his son's chin up and smiled,

"Ferb I do still trust you."

Ferb sniffed and spoke, "B… but you just said that you didn't trust me…"

"I know what I said… and I still do trust you, but I don't trust you with your license. You showed me that you're certainly not ready to use it responsibly, so it's my duty to take it away. Look, every choice we make in life has consequences. In this case you made a wrong choice, and now you have suffer the penalties."

"So… you still trust me?"

Lawrence gave Ferb a small smile and ruffled his hair, "Son this is the first, and it better be the last, time you've ever lied to me. I'm not going to let one little mishap mess with our close bond."

Ferb gave him a half smile before frowning again, "But… my mistake landed Phineas in the hospital… in serious condition."

"Ah Ferb, don't blame yourself for the accident. It was a drunk driving accident. You two just happened to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time."

Hearing what his dad just said should make Ferb feel better, but it didn't. He still felt a twinge of guilt that may never go away…

Lawrence sighed and gave his son a kiss on his forehead, "Okay… eat up if you're hungry, and get some rest. Your mum went back to the hospital to check on Phineas and should be back later. If you're feeling well enough, I promise to take you to see him tomorrow."

Ferb nodded and shot his dad up a smile. Lawrence smiled back and gave Ferb one last ruffle before walking out. Once his dad left, Ferb collapsed on the bed in complete pain. His migraine has gotten worse, and he felt like he was going to be sick. He curled his knees up to chest and began breathing deeply, waiting for the feeling to pass.

He looked once more at his brother's empty bed and sighed,

"Phineas… please be okay… I could never live with myself if you…" Ferb bit his lip and breathed in deeply, "... I'm deeply sorry Phin, I don't hate you, I only hate myself… please give me some sort of a sign that you'll be okay… please."

Ferb closed his eyes and began drifting off to sleep.
