Aden's Log.
I woke up on a normal school day as I usually did, groggy, annoyed that I had to go to school and no enthusiasm to get out of bed. But I knew I had to otherwise I'd be waking up to Dad pouring a cold bucked of water on my head. Not a particularly pleasant wake up call, especially when it's like below zero outside.
But still, I forced myself out of bed and took care of the usual, like brushing my teeth, getting my school uniform on (and not putting it on smartly, more like how you would wear a school uniform AFTER school, shirt not tucked in, tie not done up properly, first two buttons undone and my sleeved rolled up halfway up my arm), fixing my hair, that kind of thing.
I went down stairs to find my Mum making breakfast with my Dad sat the table drinking coffee and reading the paper, I went over to the kitchen to make myself a bowl of cereal. I sniffed up to smell my Mum cooking bacon and eggs, how I loved her cooking unlike my Dads who well, let's just put it this way, the last time Dad went into the kitchen to make something we wound up with NO kitchen at all. Taking my Bowl of cereal I sat down at the table and began to eat. I couldn't help but notice that it was awkwardly very quiet, Mum and Dad would not even look at each other, had they had an argument or something?
I decided to break the silence in the room. I was shaky for some reason but I took a deep breath and spoke, "So, I've got my football match after school today with Jay and the boys, and I was wondering if I could maybe go a party afterwards, I mean I'll defiantly be back by about seven and there's defiantly no alcohol involved but, I was wondering, if I could maybe go?" My Dad's head perked up as did my Mums as they looked at me with surprise, but Dad didn't say anything he just looked at my Mum with an angered look as he got up and walked out. "I take that as a no?"
I looked at my Mum but she just turned away with a saddened look on her face. "Mum? Is everything ok?" She sighed and turned to me; I could sense as well as see that there was something wrong with her, "Your father and I have, had a small argument." An argument? That doesn't sound right, now I was worried like any ten year old would be; I was not hesitant in asking, "An argument, what about, is everything ok?" whilst I was asking this she closed her eyes as she took a deep breath in, when I finished she exhaled, "Go to school Aden, it's nothing for you to worry about." Then she left me alone in the kitchen. Not wanting to cause anymore arguments I grabbed my school bag and my Iphone and began to make my way to school AKA the talon academy.
Whilst walking down the street to school, I decided to listen to some Linkin Park or Bon Jovi to help take my mind off things. This did help a bit but not much, I was still worried about Mum and Dad but I decided to leave it to them to sort out whatever problems they had.
My headphones were loud so I could not even hear a skimmer go past me. As I neared the final corner to the academy I could not help but get the sense that there was someone behind me. When the tension became too much I stopped and looked behind me to see no one behind me, but when I turned back something hit me and it hit me hard and then my world went black.
Ok so let me know what you think and I will update soon. But please be patient because I am taking my time with this. Thanks
