As we approach, I can't help but to think about what happened earlier with mother.
Whatever the letter entailed I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for it.
The walk home is quite silent .
I expect him to taunt me or try to annoy me throughout the walk
But he isn't. He is just walking beside me like he is dealing with his own kind of hell.
" Are you ok?" I ask him breaking the silence.
" Yeah why?" He asks looking at my direction for the first time since we started our walk home.
" You are just too quiet that's why" I reply brushing off an imaginary dirt off my dress.
" You are impossible you know" he tells me
"Excuse me?" I say as I stop walking to hold my waist
"Yeah, exactly what you heard"
"When I talk , you tell me I'm a self obsessed jerk who won't keep his mouth shut but when I decide to keep my mouth shut you have a problem with that too"
He uses my words against me.
"Hey! No need to shout at me for this. I was just checking if you were ok"
"Well do I look like I need it?" He asks rudely
"What's wrong with you!!! You were so nice to me earlier and within the shortest period of time you are a total jerk to me."
He just rolls his eyes at me
"You know what? Do whatever you please. I'm tired of your shit" I say as i walk out on him for the second time today
I hear him sigh
And the next minute
He pulls me by the hand and I bump into his chest.
"Let me go!!" I shout at him and try to escape from his firm grip
"No" he casually replies
"You better leave me or else....."
"Or else what?"he asks in a daring manner.
"Or else.......or else I will shout for help"
I manage to say only to realize it was stupid
"Shout all you want then it's not like someone is going to hear you " he says smirking
"You are so annoying" I say irritated
"And you love me for that" he says winking
"Oh shut up. I don't even like you in the first place." I say to his face
"Ouch!! that do hurt babe" he says placing his other hand on his chest
"Just drop the act and let me go. You treat me like shit and the next minute you are flirting with me . "
"Are you still bored because of that" he says leaving my hand
"Seriously!! I do have feelings ok and I certainly don't like to be treated as shit"
"It's not like you don't treat me like shit as well" he shouts back
"But at least I don't pretend to be nice to you only to insult you later"
He sighs in defeat
"Ok...I'm sorry for how I treated you earlier happy?"
" I don't need your fake apology "
"Suit yourself then." He says and he walks ahead of me
"Douche bag"
I mutter under my breath and i begin to follow him
As I walk beside him I see that same worried expression on his face
I decide to ask him once again but decide against it since he will just shout at me.
After ten minutes he's the one to break the silence
" My mum and dad are thinking of getting a divorce" he tells me
"Wait what??"
"Yeah " he says looking on the ground
"You've got be kidding me!!. Those two are the nicest couple I've ever set eyes on" I say still in shock
"Well there is more to what meets the eye you know."
"What happened?"
"I don't really have much details about that but all I know Is that they've started arguing alot " he says still looking on the ground
"I'm so sorry Carlos" i say not knowing what to say next
"There's no need to be. I'm sure this is the best thing to do in order to ensure peace" he says putting his hand into his jeans
"Are you ok with that?" I ask
"How I feel it's not really needed now and if they cared that much, they won't be thinking about having a divorce in the first place."
"Why not tell them how you feel about it
I'm sure it matters to them more than you think"
"Hell no!!
And it's not going to make a difference so why stress about it"
" Ok" I say not wanting to push anything on him
We remain quiet for sometime and I realize how tensed he has become
I quickly think of something to talk about and we change the subject
I begin to talk about interesting places in the town as well as interesting incidences that have happened here including all the tales and histories mum has told me about.
This seems to work since he has eased up a bit and he starts to taunt me about how untrue most of the histories are and how gullible I'm to believe them.
