Alone: Volume 03 (English Edition)

4. Family Difficulties

Two weeks have passed since Lizzy's fight with our mother, and the conversation between me and Nathan... but it seems that our family is increasingly on the verge of the end!

Me, Lizzy and Miguel went to school together this time and when we arrived Miguel first, so I pulled Lizzy to try to have a proper conversation

- Lizzy, I'm worried about you - I say

- Oxi, why? - She asks

- Lizzy, I know how you're feeling about our mother's return, and all the secrets are coming to the surface... but I don't want to see you isolating yourself from me, and I want to know, is everything okay? - I say

- Look, I can't say that I'm fine about everything that's happening, but I'm being very strong, but I'm taking it, and you don't have to worry about me, okay - She says she's coming to hug me

- All right then - I say in the middle of the hug

So we went to school and Lizzy went straight to the classroom, but when my cell phone vibrates I stop at the door and call to find out what it would be. When I turned on my cell phone, I realized it was a new message from the boy that I hadn't said for many days, so I ran to read...

[Dear Lucas...

A thousand apologies for not having answered you in the last few days, it's because my life is the same as yours... in complete SHIT... and discussing my best friend and I also ended up doing a very bad thing that I should never have done, but that doesn't come to the point right now! I just want you to know that I will always be here, but there will always be something preventing me from writing to you, so I'm sorry

With Love, Unknown Boy]

So I start writing a new message...

[Dear, Unknown Boy

I understand you, I know very well how difficult it is, because I'm literally living this kind of thing... I fought with someone who called himself my best friend and after a long time, I don't know if I can believe him, even though he swears by everything, and don't worry, I'm sorry

With Love, Lucas]

I finish checking and then I press the send button and then I enter the classroom.

So we studied and soon after a long time, my brothers and I go home, and as soon as we arrive we see our mother and father in the living room talking, so Lizzy goes straight to her room without talking to anyone

- I'm going to get a coffee, do you want to? - Miguel asks me

- I don't want to, thanks! - I mean - I'm going to my room, okay - I say looking at my parents

- All right, son - My father answers

I enter my room, close the door and lie down on the bed and enter my Instagram, where several posts by Charlie (Yes, the same one) and Nathan begin to appear.

While I was moving on Instagram, I hear some knocking on the door, it was my mother:

- You can come in - I mean

- Excuse me, I brought you a juice - She says coming in and sitting on my bed

- Thank you - I say giving a slight smile

- Is this Charlie? - She asks after looking at my cell phone that was in bed

- That's right, it's beautiful, right - I say and laugh

- And I suppose it's because of him that you're sad, aren't you? - She says

- No, No... it's different, I fought with my best friend and I'm not sure if he's lying or telling the truth - I take a break to drink the juice - And there's still Charlie, he's my half-cousin, but it seems very wrong to like him

- Hey son, if there's one thing I know is that relationships can be complete madness, but the only thing I tell you is, don't give up... and about this friend of yours, try or look for reasons to listen to him. But now I'm going to leave, and you're going to take a shower, it stinks - She says in the middle of a laugh

Amazingly, I really liked this conversation I had with my mother, it was even very touching.

So I pick up my stuff to go take a shower, until I get a message from Charlie on Instagram, where some incredible news came...

[Hi Lucas, it was bad not to have sent a message before... but I wanted you to know that I just closed the purchase of plane tickets to Brazil! That's right, I'm finally going back to Brazil from years away, but of course it's not just for that, I'm going because I remembered that someone's birthday on April 12, so I'll arrive in Brazil on April 11 and I'll stay with you for a whole week, I hope you've already booked my side of your bed. Kisses and see you then!]

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS! I was very happy, and that's when a new message came through my head.

[Char, I am very happy with this news, and know that your side of the bed is already here ready and still leaves a drawer for you to put your things when you arrive. I'm looking forward to you, with love Lucas!]

I was so happy that I wrote/sent the message with a little smile from the corner, because after many days, I will be closer to Charlie.
