A New Start - part 3
Sean had just stepped out of the car when he was gathered in his grandmothers arms. She hugged him thightly.
"It's so good to see you again, Sean. We have both missed you very much."
"I have missed you too."
"It's just a shame that we were going to see each other again like this"
"Yeah, it is."
"Come on, let's go and get you settled in your room."
***
Sean's room had a lot of space and a big window. From the window he could see their neighbours house. His grandmother had told him that a new family had moved in a few months earlier.
It was a widower with two children. A son and a daughter. The son, Ephram was in Sean's age and Sean's grandmother thought that maybe they could become friends.
Friends, Sean thought. He didn't really feel like getting new friends right now, but maybe someday he would give it a chance. But not right now.
He could hear his mother calling from downstairs, saying that it was time for a late dinner. His parents were staying until tomorrow, after that they had to go back to California. They had their work waiting for them.
***
The dinner went pretty quiet. Sean didn't feel like talking, so his grandparents and his parents did some smalltalk between themselves. They interrupted their talk every now and then to ask him if he was alright and if the food was tasting good.
After dinner excused Sean himself from the table by telling them that he was tired and wanted to go to bed.
He went up to his room, closed the door and sat down on the bed and started to think about everything that he had been through since the terrible night.
For example about how difficult it was to look at Mike's parents at he funeral. He knew that Mike's parents didn't blame him for anything. They had told him so.
And how could they blame him. He hadn't done anything wrong. The had been given permission to go to that party. Of course they had let them go, believing that someone, somewhat adult would be at the party.
But still Sean couldn't help feeling guilty. Mike had been their only child. He had been their everything and now he was gone. All because of that stupid party.
***
He went into the bathroom to get himself ready for bed. Just when he had turned off the light he could see the light being turned on in the room across his in their neighbours house. Through his window he could see a teenager.
"That must be Ephram", he thought to himself.
He could see him sit down on his bed and couldn't help but thinking that he looked just as lonely as he excepted himself to look.
Maybe he would go over tomorrow and say hello.
