He got up earlier than usually that day. He couldn't explain himself why, he just got that weird feeling something was going on..
He went to his parents bedroom, and he saw his mom was still in bed, but his father wasn't there.. /where could he possibly be at this time?/
"Mom, where's dad?". She just smiled nervously at him and said "Don't worry, he'll be back soon" /was she avoiding to look at him?/
"It's everything alright?" He insisted, the air was full of hesitation.
"Everything is just fine, now go get ready for school!" Ok, she was a great liar, but he knew she was trying to hide something from him. She kept talking about the weather, green tigers, toilet decoration and other things that neither of them care about, she was trying to pretend it was just a normal day until he finally left for school.
At school he spent all day thinking about what had happened in his house that morning.. he remembered his parents talking, but he wasn't sure if it was real or just a dream:
"I wanna know! I can't take it anymore.. just Go NOW!" he was sure his mother said that before the front door got open. Was she angry at him? Was she annoyed? He always saw them fighting, but they never looked like they didn't love each other (or at least that was what he thought..)
"BENSON!" the teacher suddenly woke him, "Once again, who was This man?" she said pointing at Napoleon in a picture
"Napo.." ! he was interrupted by the bell.. he was finally allowed to go.
"Hey, are you ok? you look kinda.. confused.." The girl of his dreams asked him while they walked to their lockers
"Not sure yet.. I think I'll know when i talk with my mom"
"if you need anything, just tell us" she said pointing at her best friend, "Sure, thanks" he answered, but he just wanted to come back home. /This is really affecting me, I completely ignored her! I'm such an idiot/
After school he went for a walk to relax and think about his day.. he then returned home.
He didn't see his mom in the couch, or the kitchen.. he finally found her in her room.
"hi mom!"
"hi sweetie!"
"Mom, where you crying?"
"N..No, no.. of course not" /*wow, whatever is going on today make her lose her lying powers*/
"Ok, come on, what's going on?, where's dad?" He became impatient again, they were hiding something, he wasn't stupid.
"He'll be back soon, let's just wait for him"
"Is he? cause that's what you said this morning.. and I haven't see him around today"
"Calm down, he'll be here in any minute and we'll talk about this"
"If you say so…"
