Chapter 16: Keeping Secrets
Dave sat down on the couch thinking about going to sleep but he got up. He walked to Rose's room to talk to Jake. "Hey, I am going home now. I will talk to you later," he said to Jake. "Ok. Tell Mom that I will stay here tonight," Jake said. Dave nodded and walked out of the shop and headed home. He opened the door quietly and saw his parents sitting at the kitchen table talking. "Mo…Mrs. Long, I am home," Dave said to Faye.
"Hello Dave. Have you seen Jake?" Faye asked him. "No, he is staying at Gr…your dad's shop tonight," he told her. "With Rose," she said. "Yes with Rose. Your dad also didn't feel too well so Jake wanted to watch after him," Dave told her. "I see, thanks for letting me know," Faye said. "Your welcome. Goodnight Mo…Mrs. Long," Dave said. He walked upstairs to his room and closed the door and sat down on his bed. 'I hate that I have to keep secrets from them. They are my parents,' he thought. He stood up and felt something cold pressed against the back of his neck. "Move and your dead."
