A/N: I feel like a sack of shit. I haven't been posting, and I haven't actually been online at all. But, here we go. This chapter is actually really sad, but you know.


Freddy and Bonnie had been back at school for a good 3 weeks. They were learning songs on their own, just like Foxy and Clyde, and they would all meet up on a long weekend and practice together.

This weekend, things were different. Freddy spent his time in the hospital, next to his father, who had been admitted to hospital for about a week. Red and Chi were currently working the pizzeria on their own, and it was hell. Bonnie had picked up some shifts, since Freddy wanted to stay with his dad.

"I can't believe how busy it is today." Bonnie said.

"I can. Everyone's off this weekend, cause of some government holiday or whatever." Red replied, as he dropped another $100 into the vault. "Since we run our own business, we can just stay open."

The bunny and the bear watched as kids ran around, playing arcade games, and talking to their parents. Bonnie sighed, as he kept punching in numbers, and filling out the orders.


In the hospital, Freddy had fallen asleep next to his father. The nurses had told him that his dad had been sick for quite some time, and hadn't told anyone. Built up stress over recent events made it worse. Freddy couldn't help but feel like it was his fault. He had left his fathers side to go to school in another city.

The young bear slowly opened his eyes, groaning. He hadn't had anything to eat in two days, and he was absolutely exhausted. He had ben drinking water, but was so worried to leave his fathers side.

The nurse walked in, and looked at Freddy. "Freddy?" She asked. "I need you to leave now.. We need to run some tests on your father."

"Oh, okay.." Freddy got up slowly, and walked into the hallway, sitting on a chair.

He hated this feeling. Feeling like he couldn't help his father, or anyone, ever. How long had his dad been sick? He knew it had been a while, but how long was a while?

The bear shook the thoughts from his mind when his phone went off. He pulled it out, and sighed at the 10 missed calls, and 20 text messages. He decided to text Bonnie back first.

My Bear: Hey Bonnie, sorry...

My Bun: There you are! I was so worried, are you okay? How's your dad?

My Bear: I'm okay, but I'm not to sure about dad. The nurses are running some tests.

My Bun: I'm sorry Fred..

Freddy opened the next text, which was from Foxy.

Pirate: Hey you! Just a heads up, that our next meeting will be in 2 weeks from now. We have our first concert in a month, and we really want to rule the stage.

Freddy sighed. Right.. March Break they would be having their first concert. The bear got up, and went down to the parking lot. He should probably head to the house. Bonnie had been picking up all of his shifts, and Red hadn't even seen their dad yet, because he was constantly there.

Freddy: Red?

Red: Yeah?

Freddy: I'll take your shifts tomorrow. You should come and see dad anyways.

Red: Thanks. You sure you're gonna be up to working all day?

Freddy: Of course. See you at home for supper?

Red: Nope. I'll be home by 10 though. Bonnie will be home for supper. Clean up any messes you make.

Freddy chuckled, and drove home.

It was supper, and Bonnie was currently eating some salad that Freddy had made for him. Freddy decided to also eat salad, which slightly shocked the bunny. "Babe, you should really eat more." Bonnie said. "You need energy for tomorrow."

"It's okay." Freddy yawned. "I'll eat breakfast and take some red bulls to work with me, and I'll last the whole day." Bonnie looked down at the table.

"I'm worried about you." He said.

Freddy looked at his boyfriend, not knowing what to say. "You don't need to worry, I'm fine Bonnie."

"No you're not." Bonnie said. "You're clearly torn up about your father, and I would be too!" The bunny started to cry. "But I don't have a father. Instead, I have an uncle that used to abuse me, and threaten to kill me, yet I still love him. He almost killed you!" Bonnie started bawling, and Freddy went to get up, but Bonnie flung himself at the bear.

Freddy hugged Bonnie, crying as well. "I just.. I want my dad to get better. I want him to come with me, to see me so happy at our wedding, to be a grand father, but if he doesn't make it.." Both boys held each other for what seemed like forever.


It had been a much better week for the two men. Freddy's dad had come out of the hospital, but was told that he had to undergo a surgery if he wanted to get better. He had a massive blood clot, which was causing him to pass out, and cough up some extra blood. On the bright side of things, Red, Freddy, Bonnie, and Chi all agreed to help pay for the surgery.

The cost was $5,000. So far, they had brought together $1,053. The hospital had agreed to do the surgery first, and then have the family pay for it. Which was good. Bonnie and Freddy had to take a crap load of extra shifts, since they still had to pay for food and stuff back at campus. So Freddy and Bonnie were basically working weekends, with a two hour break, and Red and Chi were doing weekdays.

Finally, it was Saturday. Freddy's dad went in for surgery, and Freddy was at work. He loved his job, but right now, he wanted to be by his father's side, and practicing with his band. he looked at himself in the mirror, and smiled, as he put on the top hat and bow tie. "You got this.." He picked up his mic. "Dad." He turned around and walked out of the stage door.
