My brother and i walked downstairs together, only to stop when i heard heated whispers coming from the kitchen. I grabbed Alex's wrist to stop him and put my fingers to my lips. he nodded and we both crept towards the door. Call me nosy but my parents rarely, if ever argued with each other and i loved helping resolve arguements, so much so that i had earned the nicknme "problem councilor" at school. I couldn't make out what they were saying so i threw open the door hoping to hear a few words at least, sadly my plan failed and all i heard was the sound of the oven.
They turned to look at me amusement clear in their faces, i had a feeling they knew i had been standing there for quite some time. Just then i heard a loud ding. my mum shoed us all to the table I while she set out the roast chicken and vegetables. After we had all sat down i tried to start a conversation to fill the unusual silence around the table. I soon realized that any attempt at conversation was futile as it quickly died out without my parents contributing anything.
Every few minutes my mum would shoot a worried glance at my dad, which my dad would respond to by patting her on the shoulder, After everyone had finished, my mum slowly started to speak " we have something to tell you". I looked at Alex's face and saw the exact same expression i had, What the hell was going on?
