Dinner was set on the table, Theodore sat on his high-chair while Kayla was helping dad set the plates. I put the bowl of pasta in the middle of the table and sat at my seat. Praying silently to God for our food. Theo couldn't wait to eat, for pasta are his favorite food. "Just give him some pasta, Justine" Dad said, sternly. I picked up the bowl and poured some in Theo's plate. Dinners like this wasn't the same anymore. Kayla wasn't the usual noisy one in the table. It was all Silent.
"I'm not hungry anymore, thanks for the dinner Tin" Kayla said, pushing back her plate. Kayla kissed me on the cheek and went out of the dining room. Theodore yawned and rubbed his eyes. I finished everything in my plate and cleaned the table, putting the plates in the sink. Dad was still eating. I kissed him goodnight and carried Theo to our room. Me and Theo share a room while Kayla has her own room. I gently laid Theo down to our bed and kissed his forehead.
"Tin, can you sing for me" Theo said, sleepily. I remembered how mom would always use to do this to me. She sang to me until I fell asleep. I smile at Theo and sang one of mom's song, the song that she always sings to me every night.
Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that........
Theodore fell asleep with a soft snore. I turned off the lamp and draped the blanket over us, keeping him safe in my arms. I thought about tomorrow. I wonder what would happen. I wonder if Patrick will keep his distance now. Theo nuzzled his head to my neck, softly touching my necklace. A heart necklace that was given by Patrick on my 16th birthday. It has apicture of us inside. Sighing, I grew sleepy and closed my eyes shut trying to sleep.
I woke up with a knock on my door. I got up from my bed, gently trying not to wake Theodore. Gently opening the door, I saw Kayla o her pj's. She grabbed my hand and carfully dragged me to her room without making a sound. She closed her door and got her laptop out. "Kayla it's 3:00 in the morning and I've
got school, can't we just deal with this in the morning? Theo is gonna wake up anytime time soon" I told Kayla, she ignored me and clicked an audio file.
"Tin, you need to got listen to this" Kayla said, sounding serious. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. I've got no time for this silly games. I stood up and headed out the door when I heard dad's voice. I stopped abruptly and turned around facing Kayla, she fell to a frown and clutched her pillow to her chest. Dad sounded so happy. I smiled, "Don't just smile yet!" Kayla said. I sat on the edge of the bed listening to every word. Then the door opened making Kayla shut her laptop.
Theo was crying, I scoop him up in my arms and wiped his tears. "Will continue this in the morning Kayla" Kayla nodded and hid her laptop under her bed. "Let's go back to our room Theo" He nuzzled his head in my neck and sleepily nodded. I went outside Kayla's room silently closing it. I opened the door to our room and laid Theo down to our bed. Draping the blanket over us, I wonder what that record was all about and why is Dad in it?
