Little did Brad Bellick know that his 16th birthday, one kiss, and a father who had walked out on the family would have an affect on the rest of his life?
Brad’s mother was always there, wanting to know where he was going, who he was hanging out with, and showing concern for him.  His father was the total opposite: a drunk who couldn’t hold down a job and who was rarely home.  When he was home, he was constantly yelling at his wife and telling Brad that he was useless and would never amount to anything in life.

Brad would never forget the last time he saw his father three years ago.  He had appeared in the middle of the night, yelling so loudly that he woke up Brad and his mother, demanding that he be given every cent that they had.  He only left after hitting his wife until she would give him the money he knew she had hidden away.  Holding his crying mother, Brad promised that he would take care of her and never leave her.

What Brad didn’t realize at the time was that his father had taught him an important lesson: if you want something badly enough, you do everything you can to get it and don’t let anything or anyone stand in your way.  Brad knew what he wanted for his 16th birthday and that was a kiss from Heather.

A couple of days before his birthday, he asked Heather if she’d like to join him and a few friends after school to celebrate his birthday and she’d said yes.  Nothing strange about a group of friends getting together, but little did Heather know that she was the only one invited this time.

The morning of his birthday, Brad spent more time than usual getting ready for school.  As always, his mother had a shirt ironed and waiting for him and he had a new pair of jeans to wear.  No matter what he did, his hair wouldn’t stay in place, so Brad finally gave up on it.  Who cared what his hair looked like when kissing was what was planned for later?  Tossing some breath mints into his bag and kissing his mother good-bye, Brad headed out the door.

Everything was going as Brad planned until Heather walked into the restaurant and saw only Brad there.

“Where’s everyone?” Heather asked scanning the area.

“Hope you don’t mind it’s only us,”  Brad responded patting the bench next to him.

“Nah, let’s eat. I’m hungry.” Heather replied, taking the seat in the bench opposite Brad.

As they were eating, Brad slowly worked his way around the bench until he was sitting right next to Heather.  As he went to put his arm around her shoulder, Heather abruptly asked what he was doing.  Not paying any attention to her, Brad wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her in and started to kiss her.  At first, Heather responded, until all of a sudden Brad felt the sharp pain of her hand hitting his check and the next thing he knew, she was walking out of the restaurant without saying a word.

Walking home, Brad decided that he would never let another woman treat him like that again and if there was anything that he wanted, he was going to go after it until it was his.
