The urine and blood tests were quick, and I got the results instantly. I knew they would come back fine, as I never did drugs or drank, but it still made me nervous. The pharmacy had been just as quick. Our house was on the way to my parents’, so we stopped in quickly to drop off my medication and give me a chance to wash the dried tears from face. Once I had cleaned myself up, we ventured back out to go to my parents’ place. They lived three houses down from us, which I was very grateful for. I wasn’t sure I could do all of this with just Anthony’s support.

Mom had met us at the end of our small front yard this morning to pick up the boys, so this was the first time Anthony and I were seeing my parents’ new house. While the outside was a different shade of white, the exterior layout seemed to be exactly the same as ours. As we took our first step onto the walkway leading to their front door, I froze.

What if they don’t want me anymore? Now that they don’t have to live with me, what if they decide they don’t want a monster like me in the family?

“Everything will be alright,” Anthony said. He placed his paw on my lower back and guided me up the walkway. “Just take a deep breath. Everything is going to be fine.”

“O-okay,” I sniffled. I wiped the few stray tears from my eyes as we made it to the front door. I placed my paw on the door pad. Instead of the light turning green and the door opening, it turned yellow, showing I had rung the doorbell.

I knew it! They don’t want me anymore. I should just go.

As I started to take a step back, the front door slid open and my mother was standing on the opposite side. As she stared at us, she cocked her head slightly in confusion. “Why did you ring?”

“I…I’m s-s-sorry…I-I’ll ju-just g-go…” My stuttering came back full force as I drowned in the sea of anxiety and fear consuming me.

“We need to be added to the locks. He tried to open the door, but it’s our first time here,” Anthony said. The entire time, he had stayed just behind me and kept me from turning and running away with my tail tucked between my legs.

“Added to the—OH! Oh no. Percy, I’m so sorry.” Mom stepped forward and pulled me into a deep hug. “It’s been so long since we last had to add you to the locks, it never even dawned on us. I’m so sorry, sweetie. We’ll get that fixed before you leave.”

“See, Percy? Like I said, everything will be alright,” Anthony said. “He’s been having a very rough morning with meeting his psychiatrist.”

“Then let’s get you inside and sitting down.” Without releasing her hug, she walked me into the house. “We were just getting the boys seated for lunch. Why don’t you both join us?”

“Thanks, Mom.
