Moving from home.

Gardening and a fright to go

                                         CHAPTER 9

3;02

I was inside my living room quietly reading having woken up from bed, early in the morning, my parents were still asleep, and my brother had decided to go out, I ended up waking up earlier then I was suppose to, getting at five in the morning, I guess I must have had a bit of energy in me, cause when I went and looked at a reflective surface I noticed a few rings still on the soles of my eyes, anyway when I got up I saw my brother packing his backpack, I grew paranoid, was he getting ready to move out of the house, it was one thing when it was one of my friends, now my brother, I was still young, I didn't understand much of anything, was so before he got out, I lifted myself from bed and walked to him.

Onee Chan, I said quietly.

He looked down surprised to see me, he smiled, well good morning there brother', he said softly, 'your older sibling has to go out and do some errands

I reading my book, Old Master Q, it was entertaining, I can tell the author spent a good time in drawing it, the one page I was reading featured a man running away from the ostrich who was pecking him on the head, so in retaliation, he grabbed a rock and apparently ended up cooking the ostrich in a oven, there was another page which made me laugh a lot, Q made a painting of a snake on the wall, then the snake comes to life and ended up engulfing his head, I checked the name of the author, Alfonso Wong, whoever he was I can tell he must have had a fun time writing this, while I enjoyed the comic I look to my left to see the young potted plant of a vegetable I was growing, it was a sunflower seed I had bought and recently I have been taking care of it to my best splendor, and I could tell the effects have been getting great results, I have had that plant with me on my journeys and it hasn't failed to fill me with joy everyday, before I got to my chair, my first thought was to go and immediately water my small sprout.

As I finished reading the book for a while, I put it aside and looked up at the ceiling, trying to get my mind together on the events that have happened yesterday, my mind has been trying to calm down, but alas it couldn't, yesterday I was mugged by a man, and that experience will be forever a traumatizing experience, for me, not just because it happened but on how it happened.

A week had passed since Gwess had decided to move away from home, and things had been oddly different now without her daunting presence, when she left she didn't told anyone about it not her friends, nor the teachers, nor anyone whom she ever talked to, she just upped and vanish from town like a magician, I didn't really know what to think about it, Victor from what I understood was most closer to her then anyone else other than my brother so when news of her leave reached him he was shocked to learn of it, he then prepared a goodbye speech for her at school even though she wasn't there as a way to try and commemorate her leave, Mary and Yuki whom both had known her for a while were silent, they weren't expecting her to simply up and vanish out of the blue like she did, I guess they thought she would say goodbye before doing so, the only ones who would be aware of the girls leave of absence would be her two parents, apparently they have been with her before she had boarded the plane to leave this country and have been.

While everyone else were all making their memorials for my friend's leave I had decided to work on something else for the day that sort of helped me remember about Gwess, and it was something to do that day seeing how it was n after Friday, when I woke up from bed I had gotten on my gardening outfit and got outside to my garden, I had a small bag of seeds in my hands, back then I remember how she had once suggested to me how we could both try and start to grow plants on our yards together each week, one week I would help on hers on the next she would help on mine, it was a fun pass time that eventually we stopped, at the moment we both learned how to take care of the plants by ourselves, to that day I wanted to keep taking care of my mini garden and keep growing more plants as I remember the whole fun procedure that I had going with it.
