Henry's POV
I walked into mums office, nervous as hell. I knew what was coming couldn't be good and I jut couldn't stop tapping.
"Henry, sit." Mum said pointing to the sofa. I didn't bother to argue. "I, um, why didn't you say anything?"
"I didn't feel I could." I replied quietly.
"I'm sorry Henry, I'm such a bad mother you can't even discuss things with me." Mum sighed rubbing her temples.
"Mum, no please don't feel bad, its just me being stupid." I said feeling so guilty. Even if they weren't getting a divorce they probably were now because of me.
"Henry, you're not being stupid. I'm sorry we were arguing the other day but it's just been difficult at the moment." Mum trailed off.
"What do you mean?" I asked, I could sense that she wasn't telling me something.
"Henry we didn't want to tell you like this." Mum said, tears forming in her eyes.
"Tell me what?" I asked quickly, my heart was racing.
"Your father and I haven't been on the best of terms lately and last week he got a short promotion. The chief of the department in New Orleans has gone on paternity leave and they wanted your father to fill in while he's gone. It will only be a couple of months but we thought that we could use a break from each other." Mum explained.
"What so you're just going to forget about each other for two months and then if it still doesn't work out after that he'll just leave for good." I shouted, I had no idea why I was feeling so angry.
"Henry calm down, we just thought a break would be healthy." Mum said trying to defend herself.
"So when's he leaving then?" I asked bitterly.
"In a week." mum replied.
"A week! A fucking week. When were you even going to tell me. What if dad never comes back huh, what then. I'd just have a week to day goodbye." I shouted. Why did they feel they had to keep this from me. I am their bloody son it does effect me too.
"Henry calm down!" mum shouted back, angry tears falling down her face.
"Don't you dare tell me to calm down." I said fiercely back. "Did it cross your minds that this effects me too. Did you ever think about how I feel about all this?"
"I'm sorry Henry, it happened really quickly." Mum said back.
"Not really, seeing as I've had too put up with you two fighting for months." I hissed back. I was feeling poisonous.
"We're so sorry about that Henry, its not right." Mum said apologetically.
"Well you know what sorry isn't good enough!" I shouted before I stormed out the room. I stormed past everyone glaring at me in the ballpen and headed to the elevator, pressing the buttons quickly. I only had one place in mind. The shooting range.
When I arrived at the shooting range I showed my pass and helped myself to a gun. I quickly found a booth and let rip. I shot and shot sand shot until I ran out of bullets. Each bullet had hit the target sheet perfectly, but I didn't care. I felt so anger I just wanted to scream out everything I felt. I loaded another round and decided with each shot I'd think of a reason to he angry.
Mum and dad constantly argueing. Bang!
Mum and dad not telling me things. Bang!
Mum and dad treating me like a kid. Bang!
Mum and dad always worrying me. Bang!
Mum and dad moving away from each other. Bang!
Mum and dad possibly getting a divorce. Bang! Bang! Bang!
I felt my blood boil and anger ran through my veins. I through of the earmuffs and checked my phone. When I saw I had eleven missed calls I wasn't overly surprised but I really didn't want to get back to any of them. When I turned around I was extremely shocked to see that Derek was sitting in the back of the booth smiling. Just the fact that he was smiling seemed to really piss me off.
"You really can shoot Henry." morgan said impressed.
"What do you want?" I asked fiercely, I was in no mood to be having this conversation.
"Wow you're touchy today." morgan said, still smiling.
"Piss off Derek." I hissed gathering my stuff.
"Now that was uncalled for." morgan said, his tone changing. "I could easily go up to the office and tell your mum your here but I'm not going to. That is if you tell me what's bothering you so much."
"It's nothing." I replied. I really didn't want to tell Derek.
"Well that's got to be the understatement of the century." Morgan said sarcastically.
"I don't want to talk about." I groaned.
"Fine I'll just call your mum, tell her your down here." Morgan threatened.
"I hate you sometimes." I moaned. "If you really want to know my parents are so sick of each other that my dads moving away for a couple of months, just so they can get a break from each other. They didn't bother to tell me this and god knows if he's even going to come back."
"Ooh, I'm uh sorry Henry." Morgan replied, he obviously wasn't expecting that.
"Don't be its them who should be sorry. For months I've had to put up with their constant arguing and I've had enough!" I cried.
"Henry, I know it's not fair on you, but you need to talk about this when you've called down a bit. You're welcome to stay at mind for a couple of days if you want or reid could take you in, you practically live there anyway." Morgan said calmly.
"Fine, but your explaining it too my mum, I don't even want to speak to her." I shouted.
"That's fine. What say we go up to the ballpen and I'll do the talking. But keep your mouth shit because man you've got a little temper on you." Morgan laughed.
"Fine, it's not like I'd want to speak to her anyway." I said fiercely.
Morgan and I made our way up to the ballpen. I hated storming out like that but I just felt so angry. Mum was standing frantically next to Spenter and Stella. Suprisingly they both looked extremely calm.
"JJ." Derek announced as we walked in.
"Henry." Mum called out, coming towards me.
"Um JJ, he just needs a bit of space at the moment okay." Morgan intervened.
"I know, I know, Spencer's already offered to have you." Mum sighed. This made me feel happy that I could stay with spencer. "I'll drop you round some stuff later."
"Uh Stella, Henry, I just need a word with JJ and Reid quickly." Morgan said. We took this as our que to leave.
"dad I'll meet you back at the apartment." Stella called out as we both headed to the elevator.
"Sorry." I said straight away.
"What for?" Stella answered confused.
"For being a prick." I replied.
"Henry, it's fine to be angry, I would too don't blame yourself." Stella replied.
"Thank you." I smiled. "See that's why I love you, you always make me smile." I lwant towards her and kissed her.
"And that is why I love you." Stella joked.
