I stood at the balcony enjoying the cooing breeze scattering my hair. I was waiting for Mom and Dad to return. I hated being home alone, it didn't excite me atall.Xavier wasn't back and I randomly checked my watch to see if it was time for him to get back. Maybe I shouldn't have asked James to go after the lessons. I couldn't bear the boredom eating me so I walked to the balcony.When I was tired of sitting out, I returned inside and walked back outside. I called Mom 'cause she was supposed to be home already and I just wondered what kept her."Emily.""Mom, why ain't you home yet?""Hey baby, I'm sorry. I got so busy.""Are you on your way?""I'm afraid not. Your dad and I will be coming home later.""Later? Mom it's like 11pm already," I blurted to the phone."Oh shit."Was she over working herself that she didn't realize how late it was already?"Emily, if we can't make it home tonight, we'll be back very early tomorrow."I saw that coming, I knew she was going to say that.
