I walking on a quiet road. The lights are on along the way. But because the light is a little dim, it cannot illuminate to the maximum. Can be said some parts of the road still look dark. Some cars seemed to occur in their own neighbor's homes. There is no one who passes other than me. I can just be faster by riding a bicycle. Unfortunately, now it doesn't have it. Daddy refused to take my bicycle from the old house. He said that later he would buy a new one. So I was forced to sell it in the garage sale before leaving. It's cold enough tonight. The wind blew quite hard. Abort leaves from the tree. Even though I was wearing a coat, I can still feel cold wind on my skin.
Wait!
I feel someone follows me. I stopped and looked back. There is no anyone in here. Some places also look dark. I credge if you imagine someone or something is hiding in a dark part or behind the tree. Whether right or just my feelings, hopefully it's wrong. Don't want too long on a quiet street, I
I lazily descended the stairs. My hair is very messy but I don't want to comb it. The delicious smell of fried bacon wafted in the kitchen. Mommy who was frying bacon was neatly dressed. Daddy is also eating pancakes and ready to go to work. I sat and yawned next to him."Good morning, Mom, Dad." I greeted."Good morning," answered Daddy."Good morning, Honey. Hey, why aren't you ready to go to school. You're going to be late, honey?" Mommy asked."Mom, can I not go to school today?""Why?" asked Daddy."I'll go to Illinois today with my friends.""Why are you going to Illinois?" Mommy asked, pouring coffee into Dad's glass."We will go to find out where Henry is at Rooney's apartment.""Honey, we know you really care about your friends and what you do is a good thing. But you should study at school. Let the police handle this
We put the bags on the sofa and got to know each other. Like women's apartments in general. Clean and tidy, maybe that's what can be described for Rebecca's apartment. Maybe if one day I go to college, I will be like this. Live alone and away from Mom and Dad.We sit down together on the couch while Rebecca was in the kitchen making drinks. Kevin invited us to confer to buy snacks and some frozen treats while here. It's not funny if sleep and ask for food from people who have been kind to us. We gave Kevin some money and Helen also gave him the car keys. When Rebecca returned with four drinks, Kevin say to her if he wanted to go to Walmart to buy something.Now it's just the three of us."So you guys come here just for visit Rooney?"Helen and I looked at each other. How could we visit someone we don't know well."Umm ... Actually we wanted to meet Rooney for some reason. His brother disappeared a few days
We helped Rebecca cook for dinner. I helped her make the lasagna while Helen made the pasta and Kevin set the table. Rebecca teach me how to cook. After all the dishes were ready, we had dinner together while talking each other. Kevin is really good at making jokes, several times we laughed because of his jokes. After we finished, we washed the cutlery and cleared the table. It was very late at night, but I couldn't sleep. Rebecca was still doing her homework while Helen was asleep. We slept in the same room with Rebecca and Kevin sleeping on the living room sofa. I decided to sit on the apartment terrace sofa. Getting some fresh air might make me sleepy. Several cars were still passing on the road. "Ehm!" "Oh. Hi," I said, smiling at Rebecca. "Hi. Do you want some coke?" "Sure!" Rebecca give me some soda. "So you come here just to look for Henry? "Yes. He is our best friend."
Helen turned the car in the direction of refueling. Alex followed behind. A man with a fat body and white hair come out. A can of soda was in his hand."Do you want to fill it yourself or do you need help, Kids?""Yes, please!" said Helen, waving her hand."I'll fill it myself," Alex said as he grabbed the gas station.We waited until Alex and the old man had finished refueling."Hey, Guys. How about we go to my grandmother's house. Not too far from here. Besides, it's still too early to go home now," suggested Alex."I don't know you have a grandmother in Chicago," said Helen."I have.""I agree. We rarely go this far anyway," Kevin said."Well, it's up to you, Guys," I said.Alex shared the location of his grandmother's house via Whatsapp to Helen. After paying for the fuel, we got in the car and headed to Alex's grandmother's house. In the way we were more than silent. Not like when I fi
I walked with tired footsteps. Molly just watched me from the cage wagging her tail. I don't know what the dog was thinking about. From the first time, I didn't really care about her.I opened the door and didn't know what to say to Mom about my cell phone being confiscated by Mrs. Jessy. Oh my God! I hope they will understand. I climbed the stairs one by one and entered the room. Lie down on the bed.All right, now what?'Ting Tung'Someone ring my doorbell. I stand up and went downstairs. A girl stand up when I opened the door."Hi, how I can help you?""Hi. I am Chole from laundromate. Mrs. Whelston tell me to pick up the laundry to her home," she said, handing her a large plastic bag of clean clothes."Oh, thanks.""Anytime. Have a good day.""You too."She said 'have a good day', in contrast to my bad heart. I climbed the stairs with the big plastic bag with great difficulty. &nb
The news that we didn't want come back this morning. I run to the school yard by crying silently. Up the stairs with ignore all of the students. Grandma called Kevin this morning and said that Alex disappeared at night after he decided to stay at Chicago. Kevin told me by phone. Make me who was having breakfast crying in Mommy's arms. I looked for Helen's in the class, but she not in there. Several times I called him while running, but there was no answer at all. I decided to call Kevin."Hey, where are you?""I'm on the road.""Helen didn't answer my call.""I don't know. The last time I call her is this morning after calling you.""Are you still long time?""Five minutes later.""Alright. Be safe!"I ended the call with an anxious and sad feeling. Don't know what to do right now.Why does all this have to happen?What's wrong with us?Shortly afterwards Kevin come up with his car. Half an hour again the c
After accompany them to the yard and watching their car drift away, Alex and Grandma went into the house."They are so funny. I am entertained by the presence of your friends," said Grandma."Thanks, Grandma. They're my best friends.""Alright, Dear. I have to take my medicine and rest.""Have a good rest, Grandma!"Elise carried Grandma up the stairs and rested in her room.Alex closed the door. He took the PS5 and played alone. It doesn't feel like it's getting late. Elise approached and invited him to have dinner together.Elise cooked a variety of dishes for dinner. He also eat together. Even though she only maid at her home, but for Grandma, Elise is the part of family.After dinner, Grandma returned to the room. Meanwhile Elise washed the dishes and cleaned the dinner table. Alex chose to watch a movie.It was 12:32 PM, but Alex was still watching television series. A
I lay on the bed. Thinking about what I've done. Is it all wrong or not. Mommy always teach me to help each other, but why when I help my friends Mommy get mad. My eyes are swollen enough to cry. I don't want to do anything. 'Knock Knock' "Beverly, come on down. Time for dinner!" Mommy's voice come from behind the door. I didn't want to leave my room at all, let alone to eat. 'Knock Knock' "Beverly!" "Hurry up and get down! We're waiting for you downstairs." I can hear Mommy's feet leaving the room and going down the stairs from here. Up to them. I'm not hungry. My appetite is gone. I saw the laptop on the study table and took it. Even if I don't know what it's for. I tried to open my F******k account. Several inboxes from Kevin come in. Distracts me from some stranger's inbox trying to message me. [Hey, Bev. Where are you
