Chapter 1: Returning home
Driving on the same road I use to take on the school bus gives me a strange sensation, it like a small flashback but now you are different, you have grown up and you see that endless road that before take you to school or home as a road that takes you to the past, to memories you "leave behind" but you know you didn't. Strange, strange, strange, that's the only feeling that I feel right now as I reach my old house, the place where I cry, I laugh, I feel destroy, I heard bad news, I start to draw, I feel happy and why not? I felt in love, because that was the feeling I had towards Leslie a childish love that I realize of when I grew up, yeah, I was a little slow fool that lost the opportunity to express to his best friend his feelings, it was too late.
Turning off me car I take my backpack out, I know a can take my bag later and that if I don't enter now to the house my mother will be really pissed off, I have seen her watching through the window and I am almost that she's still there waiting that a go to the front door, one, two, three…every step I count gets me near my old house. I knock on the door and it opens showing me the maternal and beautiful smile of my mom, oh man, I have miss her so much that the first thing I do is to hug her as I didn't do in years, is has been a while since a see her, a very long time
Mom –I murmur hiding how a can my head on her shoulder, damn, nine years without your mothers hug and food really sucks
I miss you so much Jesse –my mother said hugging me even harder if that is possible, I can notice that her voice cracks on the last part of the sentence and I know she mean it.
I have miss you to mom –I say setting free my mom from my hug although she seems not to had the same idea in mind because she continues embracing me like his life depends on that, maybe it is that way.
I heard someone clear his trout forcing mom to let me free to have the opportunity to see the person right behind us, I have seen it already and a can't believe it….is that? No, no way this has to be a terrible joke, in front of me my sisters are standing with her sons on their side but that's not the fact that surprise me, it is the fact that both are pregnant again and I have no clue about it even when we talk at less once on a month, yes it is weird I hate them when I was little.
Hey you two…four…six? I have no idea you keep getting this family bigger every year –I say laughing, I miss messing with them and hearing their laughs like in his moment.
See? I'm not the only one that thinks that way –a voice reply from the living room getting near reveling my little sister Myrtle- Hey you –she smiles at me and I did the same, my little sis has grown really fast and she is really beautiful, I miss her too.
Myrtle! –I run to her embracing her on a big hug laughing as I hear her complaining that she can`t breathe, then I did the same with the rest of my family, dad was working so I will meet him on dinner. Meanwhile my sisters are surrounding me on the living room couch asking me a lot of questions and the ones about my love life could not be miss. I really hope dinner gets soon.
