A Call and Memories...
As soon, as he reached his home, he opened the locked door and tripped over the edge,just to fall over it,into the house.
Paranoid
he locked the door again and sat down on the ground.
Slowly
he reached for his cellphone and chose the number of his mothers office.
"Hello, BCA here, how can I help you?"
"H-hello, can I talk to Alice Kirkland please?I'm her son.."
"Uh, she's in a meeting right now but I'll do what I can.",
was the answer of the bored and unknown lady on the phone.
A quiet,sweet music started playing and Arthur waited about ten minutes till he got reconnected.
A familiar voice answered.
"Hello?Is it you,sweetie?"
"Well, yeah mum, it's me can I-"
"Isn't the microwave running, my dear?"
Alice seemed to hesitate, why was she under such pressure?
"No mum..Listen, I want to talk with you about-"
But Arthur got cut off again.
"Look,darling. I'm in an very important meeting right now..We can Talk later, yes? I'll call you back then.."
"But mu-"
'Beep beep beep', it came from the phone.
She had ended the call.
To his own surprise, that didn't even surprise the boy anymore..
He had clearly heard the music of the DJ, the laughter.
She was definitely at a Party, having fun.
But, who would care for their child then,anyway, right?
Later.
She said later.
She'd call him back later..
Probably three days up to a week.. or two.
With a deep in- and exhale, Arthur stoop up and went into the kitchen, looking at them.
These oddly familiar pictures of their family, he had drawn when he was just a kid.
A family... smiling, laughing, staying together forever.
One of the colourful pictures was taken down by him then and torn into a million pieces.
Oh.
But he connected so many feels with the simple sheet of paper.
They weren't that perfect family anymore.
Mother and Father cheating each other off.
Going to partys and leaving their son alone, in his own despair.
Despair.
The only right word for this situation.
They even forgot about Arthur sometimes.
When he called, they were so drunk sometimes, they called him gay and a stranger.
That hurt.
Not even being recognized by your own parents.
But Arthur had gotten used to it.
The pain, the despair.
But should he?
He knew it himself, that wasn't Love.
But, what was Love anyway,right?
Hope you enjoyed this chapter..don't forget to review please~
