Oddly, breakfast wasn't made yet and it was already 8:30. I remembered our staff is off on Mondays and mother makes breakfast instead. My mother is usually up by now and I was hoping to tell her about the phone call with my father but she wasn't up yet. I took a granola bar and made a smoothie, I heard someone coming down the stairs, sounded like my mother and a man with her.. Definitely was not my father and all my siblings either had their own families or lived in college dorms. I hid in the pantry and opened the door a crack to see who was with her. My mother came down in a robe and a tall dark haired man who was buttoning his shirt followed. It seems as if he'd stayed the night. My mother escorted him to the door, I couldn't hear anything they were saying it was too quiet. All I saw was her kiss him goodbye. I can't say I'm not used to this, it's happened before and none of those relationships lasted more than a month. As soon as the door closed my mother came into the kitchen and started making pancakes. "Brianna hurry up and eat your pancakes, I've been waiting down here for you since 8:00." She said as if I hadn't seen anything that just happened. "Oh have you now?" I asked coming out from the pantry. She turned to me in shock. "How long were you in there?" She asked hoping I was upstairs the whole time. "Long enough to see your new boyfriend." I said as I grabbed my backpack and slammed the door as I stormed out.
