because when he caught them, Brad’s father started beating Brad.
Not a slap kind of beating. A belt kind. A real kind. Patrick told Sam who told Bob that he had never seen anything like it.
I guess it was that bad. He wanted to say “Stop” and “You’re killing him.”
He even wanted to hold Brad’s father down. But he just froze. And Brad kept yelling, “Get out!” to Patrick.
And finally, Patrick just did. That was last week. And Brad still hasn’t come to school.
Everyone thinks he might have been sent to a military school or something. Nobody knows for sure about anything.
Patrick tried calling once, but when Brad’s father answered, he just hung up. Bob said Patrick was “in bad shape.”
I can’t tell you how sad I felt when he told me that because I wanted to call Patrick and be his friend and help him.
But I didn’t know if I should call him because of what he had said about waiting until things got clear.
The thing was I couldn’t think about anything else. So, on Friday, I went to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I waited until the movie had already started before I went into the theater. I didn’t want to ruin the show for everybody.
I just wanted to see Patrick play Frank ’n Furter just like he always does because I knew that if I saw that, I knew he would be okay.
