A/n: Sometimes when I write filler chapters, I feel annoyed, but I guess, not all chapters can have major going ons....

Also, thank you sugarcubes for 100+reads. 💜

Even though these things won't mean much until the book is completed and published but, reads, comments and upvotes are those things that encourage a writer to write.

Ray's pov

I headed back home with heavy footsteps, each draining me out, both mentally and physically.
Laraine had already got my car from Highland but I did not feel like driving, let alone talking to anyone...

Mom was alright and was back beside dad's bed, I guess she didn't want to spend even a second of their time together apart.

She was so lucky in that department, she knew who she loved and was sure he loved her back...unlike me...

Sometimes, I wonder if I even truly know the meaning of love...

Was love the inability to live without someone, claiming your right over someone? Or was it, caring for someone other then yourself?

I opened the door of my house and without even a glance at the house, headed straight to my bedroom.

I threw myself on the bed and grabbed a pillow.

I burried my face in it and the, for the first time today, I cried.

I cried for appa, I cried at my hopeless state, I cried because I couldn't live my life on my ownwill.

First Zelan controlled me and now my obligations as a son.

It didn't mean that I didn't want to take care of my parents, but it did mean that I didn't want to JUST take care of my parents.

"Oh right" I mumbled, grabbing my phone and looking at Sky's number.

I had to text him back, but, what?

<Hi Ray here, I reached back home>

No it sounded too blunt ...

< Hi Sky, Ray here.
Thank you for yesterday...I reached back home. >

I type and hit the send button.
