After the weekend, everything seemed to have calmed down at Freddy's house and nothing was mentioned about the investigation at the pizzeria or the matter with the twins. Fred still had his suspicions that the chestnut was hiding something in his hands, but preferred to wait for him to confess it sooner rather than later, anyway the weirdest of the 3 was Freddy's mother who, after the discussion, Sometimes would go into the bathroom and come out suddenly with a terror on his face... as if she had seen a ghost or something out of the ordinary.


However, by the time it was Monday morning, she ended up waking up earlier than her son to make him a small breakfast while she kept her thoughts on the argument; she still doubted if she would take the necessary actions and use that emergency before it was too late, but in return, she would have to say goodbye to her son forever... and she didn't want to lose him again.


She wouldn't send him back to the hospital to have the tests done again... same "why" questions, no more, no less.

I was more excited than ever, I still can't believe thanks to those weird girls Fred will finally be able to follow me to school at least, for once and for all... at least I'll be able to watch him if he leaves or something like that. Although, I wonder how that box will make me accompany me, do I call it with music or what? There are so many doubts in my head and I still haven't gone down to breakfast with mom... right, she won't talk to me after the fight she started, I guess she still resents it.


I finished dressing up and was about to leave my room when I felt Fred's hand that stopped me suddenly before even turning the knob:

-If I were you... I wouldn't wake her up or else-

-I won't wake her up, I'll make some toast with jam and leave soon- besides, I don't need to tell her if I'm going to school or not, I'm too old to go alone:

-And you'll take the box?-But of course, I'll take it, for some reason I kept it in my backpack, now that he has the opportunity to come with me everywhere I'm not thinking of leaving that box abandoned, it's a great coincidence that Fred can contact though that music box... but we'll see what method will it be, not even Mai told me:

-Are you sure you're going alone?-But then I took his hand, even though it was silly because I can't even feel his touch, I saw how he tried to intertwine despite not grabbing my hand, but I smiled for it:

-Starting today... we'll go to high school together- that was enough to cheer him up completely, it made me happy that he could follow me from now on... well, now that I think about it... what am I gonna do when I go to the bathroom? I don't want to imagine it... yup, better not imagine it. Anyway, I opened the door of my room and carefully closed it so my mother wouldn't wake up and start to sermonize me; It was weird that she wasn't awake, I guess she had her rest today, better for me.


I started walking on tiptoes arriving as soon as possible at the kitchen, I made myself toasted bread with butter to hurry up, drank a glass of milk and what was left of the carton of orange juice; I know it wasn't a big breakfast like the ones mom makes, but it'll be enough to keep me energized today, I didn't even check the pots that still seemed to be hot... I don't even think what mom made this morning. Fred at least kept me company asking me questions about school and the odd comment from the boys... and yeah, he made fun of me when I told about Golden; ugh, I was an idiot.
