Killing Me Slowly

Chapter 5

        We had a seminar , all about discovering your talents and channeling it in the right and proper way and how to build on it . We also engage in some games too . However, there was a report on theft but the culprit was caught at the end .

            After all that, I got to hang with my friends till night time when I retired to bed .  I am going to miss this place, it help me forget all of my problems for a few days, make new friends, learn new things and have the most wonderful experience of my life. On the other side, I really want to go home and tell mom all about my experience.

                              °°°°°°

   The next morning, everyone started packing up . We were assembled for the last time to be addressed.

"Good morning students, it's so sad that you have to leave. I hope you all enjoy your stay here. We won't allow you to go empty handed, so we will be distributing gift bags more like a farewell present to all of you . I hope in the nearest future, you will vist us again . Once again, it was a pleasure having you, thank you "

         In no time, we all got into the bus and said our last farewell to Virginia. I spent most of the time, smiling and laughing along, little did I know what I was about to meet back home. In a couple of hours, we arrived, the bus dropped me off .

        Home sweet home ! First things first, I went to my room and dropped my things.

"Mom ! Where could she be ?"

I couldn't find her in the kitchen, dinning area and even her room. I later found her in the back yard, but she isn't alone, someone else is there. My dad !! Yeah, yeah, I was surprised, he was the last person I was expecting to see .

"Mom ! What's this man doing here ?"

"Careful ! Control your tongue, this man you're referring to is the one who gave birth to you, your father !" My dad said

"Mom ! I don't get this, why is he here "   And before she could say a word, I left

"Joseph !! Look what you have caused Jeff, why did you come back "

"This is my house and I can come and go as I please ! "

  I left the house with my music player. I played some music to soothe myself . I drown myself in some sweet, sweet music. After a while, I came back home, relaxed a little .

"Why are you coming back at this hour ? Where have you been ? " my dad asked

"Jeffrey! Leave the poor boy alone "

"Well, if you must know, I went for a stroll, it is not as if you care "

"Control your tongue ! I don't like your tone "

"It's the truth! If you care even a little, you wouldn't have left us. You wouldn't have abandon us without trying to know how we are fairing. Excuse me, I am going to my room, I had a long day, I need to rest "

"Come back here young man ! We are not done talking . He has become so disrespectful, is this what he has been learning while I was away ?"

"Who will blame him ? He has lost all the respect he has towards you. Let the boy be, I really think you should leave, leave ! Leave Jeff!"

"Fine I will leave for now but I will be back , remember I still have rights over him"

"Whatever! Just go "

Moments later, I heard a knock at my door

"Joseph, can I come in ?"

"Yes "
