Chapter one:
Today- 17/05/2009.
"Why haven't you told me about it?" I asked.
"How could I tell you? What did you want me to say exactly?" he said with tearful eyes.
"I thought there are no secrets between us, that we tell each other everything," I said with disappointment.
Silence.
"You see why I didn't tell you?! I knew you wouldn't understand. I just couldn't tell you this one thing! I couldn't go back there. I couldn't think about it and believe me it's hard enough talking about it now so you don't have to take everything so personal you know? You could at least try and see my side of the story, not only yours." He said with one breath and before I could say anything, he left, slamming the door after him.
He is right- I said to myself. I'm so stupid.
Five years ago - 2003.
"Get up, get dressed and go to school NOW!" my mom yelled at me from the kitchen,"
"Tell me Dougie, how come your sister always listen to me and you just do whatever you bloody want huh?!" she now stood at the entrance of my door. She entered to my room, walking to my direction, pulling my blanket from me. The sun burned my eyes.
"Ok, Ok I'm up!" I said annoyed, barely walking to the shower.
Just a week ago everything was fine. Just a week ago he still was here with us, acted like everything is as usual, like nothing has changed. I don't say it was perfect, I got used to the fighting and screaming. They weren't the perfect couple after all, but nobody ever imagine anything like what just happened, especially not me.
Just like that, another morning full of thoughts came, after a night full of thoughts that I just try to forget about, but every time I try, I just think about it more and more.
I tell to myself that he's going to come back sooner or later. It's not possible for someone to leave everything like that, to leave his wife and kids. What kind of person abandons his children?
I set on the chair in the class, the teacher hadn't come yet. I felt sick and I had a massive headache that hadn't stopped since I woke up this morning. I laid my head on the table, trying to get some rest.
"Dougie Lee Poynter!" an annoying voice that I hate so much yelled over to me. I jumped. The teacher stood over me and all the kids where laughing their ass off. "Students!" she yelled and they all went silent. "Am I interrupting your nap mister Poynter?" she asked with synicism. "Oh I'm sorry Mrs. Scott. It's just that your lesson is so freaking BORING! So yeah, you are interrupting me actually," I said and soon enough regretted about it since I saw Mrs. Scott's face go red. "DITENCION!" she screamed and pointed to the door. I dragged myself out of the classroom, picking my bag and hang it over my solder. "Go fuck yourself!" I yelled as soon as I was on the hallway all by myself. Everybody was still in the classes.
I just walked. The thoughts ran inside my brain, the tears rolled down my eyes. I hated it when I cry. I set under a tree on the old playground in our neighborhood, nobody's going to find me here, I thought to myself and minutes after I fell asleep.
Today- 17/05/2009.
I walked, storming into the boys' apartment. They jumped at the sudden entry. "Hey Angel, what's up?" Danny asked me and I ignored him. "Is he here?" I almost yelled. "Who?" he asked, his face amused to the sight of my red face and my messy hair. "What do you mean who?! Dougie, of course." Now I yelled and he looked down, ashamed. "He isn't here. Isn't He supposed to be with you?" Tom answered instead of Danny who looked like he was afraid of me at that moment. I ignored them both and went on "Why hadn't you told me anything?" "Anything about what?" Danny asked. "Oh god Danny, please" I rolled my eyes, "About his father!" I said with sadness. They looked shocked. "Finally he told you." Danny said. God he's gotta be the person with the less tact in the whole world. "Shut up you idiot." Said Tom and kicked Danny's head with his hand. "Just leave it for now, I'm worried about Dougie, he kinda ran off from my apartment." "Let's go looking for him" Danny said a smart thing for the first time in that conversation. We all walked in the direction of the door and just before we went out, the door opened… we all screamed " AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
This is the end of chapter one. Hope you liked it.
