"Okay well I'm going to my room to go to sleep I have to get up at 5 am to go to my classes," Alexander says now bored of the conversation "Oh what classes are you having to take tomorrow?" Amelia asks now curious because next year we will be going to the same college as Alex "Chemistry and English" "Why are you going to bed so early," I ask turning to him in my chair "What do you mean early it's 9:00 right now" Alexander gestures with his hand to the kitchen clock hanging on the wall it did say 9:00 and look at my laptop clock and it said the same thing, "I thought your dad got off of work at 6:00" "He did at least I thought he did I texted him a while back to find out but I don't think I got a response" "Well did you text him or did you get distracted and not send it?" Alexander says "Hold on let me check" I pull out my phone and see that I typed the text but never sent it "No I didn't I typed it why didn't I send it?" "I think that was around the time when Miss. Cooper drove up, and you thought it was your dad and you sorta forgot to send the text if I remember correctly" Amelia says trying to remember if it was around that time or if it was around the time we let Bear into the house.
"What time did your father say he was getting off" "I don't know I think he said 6:00 but it's been 3 hours overdue, and Amelia and I had plans to go to the mall after he came home but he wasn't here and the mall closed 30 minutes ago," I say throwing my hands up a little "Okay so not only is dad ordering stuff from online from a random site that sells building supplies but also he is coming home from work hours after he says he will be home," Alexander says trying to piece together all the stuff about dad we learned today about him and why he could be late and being online. "You know what I'm too tired for this I don't even care anymore I'm going to bed I have classes in the morning and a test that I need to study for so goodnight" Alexander then turns, going upstairs to his bedroom where he stays for the rest of the night. "I have to get in bed too. I managed to get myself a flight back to Florida for tomorrow morning," Mom says, getting out of her chair and stretching a little "Are you staying the night like I am or are you going back to your house?" Amelia asks maybe hoping for a girl's night with my mom she always loved it when my mom would hang out with us, Amelia always asked her for advice "No I'm going back to my house do you think it will be a good idea for me and your father to be in the same house overnight no," Mom says with a little tone in her voice "Why are you afraid of falling in love again or-"
"No we are not falling in love or any of the sorts remember he fell in love with another girl I don't know what she looks like but you know what's even weirder is that he didn't get with the girl after we got divorced, he said that he loved her but that she wasn't going to love him back till they get a little older then she will fall in love with him and that they will live happily or something of that sort" Mom rolls her eyes annoyed at my father she was still a little bitter about how the divorce ended "Why would he want to wait till they are both older?" Amelia asks with confusion shining in her eyes. "Yeah, why wait till now or later I mean it's been three years" "I don't know maybe you can ask your father when he gets here," Mom says as she starts to walk to the front door "Okay bye Mom" "Bye Miss. Cooper" Amelia and I say goodbye to Mom and go back to sitting down at the dining room table.
