“Come on in, Harry” Carly smiles at me trying to mask his excitement.
I step forward and I look around. The house seems spacious. It’s beautiful. I like it.
My house was smaller than this one, but CE LA FACEVAMO BASTARE. My mother made so many sacrifices for me and Gemma since Dad ran away. Gemma would certainly happy to live in a house like this one, but now she’s gone, and I can’t smail because I have made it and she’s not. She was the best person I have ever met, always happy. And my mother was a great woman. What I'd give to hear her speak again at seven in the morning to wake me and my sister. How can I start living again without them? I’ve lost the two women of my life.
I look down.
I don’t even need to cry anymore, nothing will change. They are gone, and I can do nothing to have them next to me again.
“What do you think? Ehy? Is everything okay?”
I turn to Carly and nod.
“Okay, I’ll show you your new room. Follow me” order my ex nurse taking me upstairs.
I enter in my new room. It’s nice.
Wait a moment, why are there two beds?
“Well… I thought that maybe you would feel better sleeping with another person. You know, taking you in my bedroom didn’t look a brilliant idea, I think that my boyfriend wouldn’t be so happy, nothing personal obviously. So I thought that maybe the right choice for you was slipping with my brother, he’s not so likable but he’s not going to bother you. And he’s 20, a little older than you right?” Carly answer the question that I have never made.
I stare at her confused.
“He’s not likable?” I ask.
Carly laughs amused.
“You don’t miss a thing! It’s just a little introvert, nothing more. But do not talk to him too much. The most important thing is that he has to keep you company, it’s not necessary that you become friends.”
“Okay” I nod insecure.
“Are you hungry?” thoughtful question
“Yes, I think so…”
This thing of the roommate worries me a little bit. I just hope he’s nice.
-------------------------
Carly has organized a dinner with her parents to welcome me, there is also her boyfriend, Edward. Lucy, Carly’s mother, looks like an adorable women.
“And tell me Harry, how is Carly? Is she a good friend?” Lucy asks interested.
I nod embarrassed.
“What a sweetheart!” exclaims Carly hugging me tight. Sometimes I think she’s mistaken for a doll.
My attention is attracted by the front door that has just been opened.
A particular boy enter in the kitchen.
He’s not very tall, his body is covered by tattoos and a brown tuft falling on his perfect face.
“Louis, you’re late. Again! The dinner is almost ready, come on, take a sit” Lucy strict orders .
He observes her impassive and then his look is on me.
Suddenly I feel very warm and I have a lump in my throat , my heart almost starts to hurt , as if someone was choking it.
His blue eyes his eyes stare at me carefully , I feel uncomfortable .
“Lou, he’s Harry. Our new roommate” Carly introduces me kindly.
He stares at me impassive and after that he sits and the dinner begin.
Apart from some embarrassing question , dinner is not so terrible.
I found myself very often staring at the boy with the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, sometimes he notices that and after looking at me badly he turns his look on his mother that keep talking. So, he’s my new roommate, he doesn’t seem nice but I am almost glad that is he. I’m not afraid of him. It seems interesting. Maybe that’s the reason why I look at him from all evening.
------------------
When the evening finishes and Carly’s parents and her boyfriend are gone it’s almost 11.00 p.m.
When I’m going upstairs the voices of Carly and his brother make me curious. That’s the reason why I come closer to the living room’s door and I listen to the conversation
“Why should I share my room with that snotty kid?”
“Lou, he had a difficult past! He’s not so bad, believe me.”
“I want my fucking room!”
“You have it, it’s just that now you have a roommate.”
“Why can’t he stay with you?”
“You know that Edward wouldn’t like it. He’s jealous”
“And I am jealous of my room!”
“Louis don’t play the baby and get off my back!”
“Screw you!”
------------
Louis enters in the room an half an hour later. I hide myself under the blankets and I look at him.
He doesn’t turn on the light. He moves in the darkness. He quickly grabs the pillow and approaches the door ready to go out.
The fact that I know that he already hates me hurts me, I don’t even know why. I just want to be his friend, I don’t like being hated without a reason, because I’m sure: he already hates me. I just want to do something to change his mind, I want to know him.
“Goodnight” I whisper.
It’s improbable that he heard me.
But when he turns to me, I understand that he heard.
He stares at me for a few seconds and then he leaves the room; just in that moment I finally can start breathing again.
