"We should have told them!" Nina said, really annoyed. "The police could find them and then put them into jail!"
"I think we'll only put some of them in jail to be honest." I replied as we walked over to the picnic bench with our ice creams. "And then the rest of their gang members will get angry and make us pay."
"Guys, c'mon. Let's give it a rest!" Lex whined. "We were in a fire and were rescued by some random dudes. End of story."
"Not random." I reminded her. "I'm pretty sure they were the dudes from the roof."
"And you are sure because?"
"Well my savior was tall and seemed to be a bit buff-"
"So that's what you're going on? By height and how muscular they are?" Interrupted Nina.
"Uh yes?" I said meekly.
"Oh wow.. That sounded dumb coming from you, Kay."
"Well you would have thought it was the dudes from the roof if you were there with me." I defended.
"Seriously guys, can we just forget about it?" Lexi suggested once again.
"Forget that we were nearly killed? Alright, sure. Fine." Ni said sarcastically. "That'll be super easy."
"Oh please Nina? I really don't want to be reminded that my life could have ended and that I wouldn't be supreme overlord of the world."
"What a pity."
"I know right? Now that guy over there, what do you think?" She asked pointing to a skinny boy with a black buzz cut, he wore a blue polo shirt with white jeans despite the warm weather.
"Uh... 5." Nina said. "Not really my type."
Lex licked a bit of her icecream. "8. He looks kind of cute."
"Of course you think that."
"Kay, what do you think of him?"
"Nothing. He's just a dude." I replied with a shrug. "They all look the same to me."
"Okay you need to stop with this." Lex said.
"Stop with what?"
"Stop with not having an opinion on guys! You keep distancing yourself and not getting involve with them! You act like that they're just going to leave you without saying anything about it!"
I winced at her comment since that is pretty much what my Dad did. When I walked into the small apartment after my aikido I saw my mother clutching onto a peice of paper and crying her eyes out on the couch. I obviously went up to her and comfort her while asking what was wrong. She just showed me the paper that was in her hand which was a printed out picture of all of us together as a family. We were at this beautiful beach in Tasmania and I was standing in front of my parents, my Dad and I pulling a face while my Mum was laughing her brown curls blowing out behind her due to the salty breeze while my Dad's bald head reflected the sunlight while his green eyes peirced right through the picture. Underneath the picture were the words, 'I'm sorry. I love you.' which were written in very neat writing. That was two weeks ago.
"Oh.. I- I didn't mean... I'm sorry-" Lex started realizing what she had said.
"No it's okay." I said trying to make my voice sound level. "I'll have to get over it at some stage. I'm just going to take a walk. I'll be back." Before they could utter a word I promptly got up and walked away, leaving my preacious ice cream behind.
The long, pale green grass tried grabbing my ankels as I walked near the small, dark lake that was in the center of the park we were at. I looked around spotting couples, dog walkers and families having their fun in this green enviorment. I walked over to a large tree and leant against it's dark wood, closing my eyes to think.
A lot of strange things has happened to me in the past few days, nearly getting burned alive, getting chased by both dragons, my Mum acting all emotional before I leave to school, those figures on the roof and last of all, Dad leaving us...
A majority of those events I couldn't figure out because they were just too plain weird. But one of those events I can figure out and I will no matter what.
Where and Why did my Dad leave?
