Midnight stallion

Chapter 15

My parents both went into the kitchen and I asked "what's for dinner?" "I think we're just going to order a pizza and one of us will go and pick it up." My dad said. my mom nodded in agreement.

After we decided what kind of pizza we were getting my mom said that she would go pick it up and my dad and I would stay home to set the table. When my mom left a few minutes later my dad and I started to set the table.

He got all the plates out and I got napkins. After my dad and I finished setting the table we both went to the living room and started to watch some tv. After a few minutes I had finally worked up the nerve to tell my dad how upset my mom was the other day.

"I need to tell you something." I said quietly. "Okay" my dad said slowly. He muted the tv so we could talk. "You know how you going to training tomorrow." I said to my dad. "Yes" he said.

"Mom doesn't want me to tell you but I found her crying and really upset one morning went you were at work early." I said. "What?" My dad asked, "why was she crying?!"

"Well that's the thing" I started and then stopped myself, I hope I'm doing the right thing I thought to myself. "Go on." my dad told me. "She was upset because you are going for training, and she doesn't want to go into the military."

I tried to read my dads face while he just sat there. He didn't say anything for what seemed like forever until he said "your mother and I need to talk after dinner."

Before I could say anything else he turned the volume back on the tv. We finished talking just in time because less than 5 minutes later my mom came in the door with the pizza.

My dad and I got up off of the couch and the same time and we went to the kitchen table and we both sat down. Then my mom served us pizza and sat down across from my dad.

"Thanks for dinner." I said to my mom. "Your welcome." My mom said. Then we all started to eat. After dinner I started to clean up and I heard my dad say "we need to talk."

I watched my mom and dad head upstairs together and I finished cleaning up. My mind wouldn't stop racing because I had wondered if I had done the right thing.

After I finished cleaning I went upstairs because I was going to read. As I passed my parents room all I could hear was faint talking. I hoped that I didn't cause a fight between my parents.

When I got into my room I picked up my book and I read started to read. I read a lot of pages but I couldn't concentrate because I didn't know if I had done the right thing by telling my dad about how upset my mom was.

I put down my book and I left my room. I walked into the hallway and I knocked on my parents door. "Can I come in?" I asked. A harsh "no!" Came from behind the door. I couldn't tell if it was my mom or dad that said no to me.

I walked back to my room feeling like a horrible person, I was really thinking that I hadn't done the right thing. I looked at the clock and it was almost 9 P.M. I worked on some homework for about an hour and then I went to the bathroom.

Then I went back to my room and I changed into pjs. I sat on my bed wondering if I should tell my parents that I was going to bed. After a minute or so I decided that I would let my parents know that I was going to sleep.

I walked out of my room and I went to my parents door. Then outside of their door I said "I'm going to bed now." "Fine." a voice behind the door said. I walked back to my room and laid down on my bed.

I tried to fall asleep as best as I could but my mind wouldn't shut up. Lately my mind was never quiet. Everything was falling apart at home and at school. I had terrible grades and I think that I made my parents fight today.

I didn't know what to do anymore. I should have of just kept my mouth shut about how upset my mom was but I had to go and tell my dad about it.

I didn't sleep much all night and I didn't hear my parents talking at all, and I didn't know if that was a good thing or if it was the exact opposite.

My alarm went off at 7:00 A.M, and I got up slowly and stretched. Then I went to the bathroom and I had a shower. When I got out of the shower I got dressed into my school uniform.

I grabbed my bag and I went downstairs when I got downstairs I saw a sticky note on the fridge. I grabbed the note of off the fridge and I looked at it. The note read "there are waffles in the freezer for breakfast, and your father is gone to training. he should be home by the time your home from school." At the bottom of the note it said "love mom."

I threw the note into the trash and I grabbed two waffles out of the freezer. I put the waffles into the toaster and I made myself a quick lunch to bring to school.

The toaster popped and I grabbed a plate out of the cupboard. Then I grabbed the butter and the syrup out of the fridge. I took my waffles out of the toaster and put them onto my plate.

Then I buttered my waffles and put some syrup on them. After that I ate my waffles and I put my plate into the dishwasher. Then I headed out towards the barn.

When I got into the barn I fed and watered all of the horses. Then I checked my cellphone for the time. It was 7:30 A.M. After that I took Apollo out of his stall and I started to brush him.

When I was done brushing him I put him into the paddock. Then I went back into the barn and I took Clover out of her stall. I repeated the same thing, by brushing her from top to bottom the same as I did Apollo.

After I brushed her I put here into the paddock with Apollo. Then I took Jinx out of his stall and I started to brush him. As I wash brushing him I thought about the note my mom had left me.

She didn't seem mad but I wanted all three of us to talk tonight when she got home. After I finished brushing Jinx I put him into the paddock with my other two horses.

I walked up to the house and I went inside. Then I grabbed my bag and I grabbed my keys from the end table by our front door. Then I went out onto our porch and I locked the door behind me.

After that I checked my cellphone for the time. My cellphone said that it was 8:27. The bus will be here soon, I thought to myself. I sat down on my porch and I waited for the bus.

I sat on my porch for a only a few minutes until the bus pulled into my driveway. I walked over to the bus and I hopped on. As soon as I sat down beside Erica the bus started moving.

"So how did it go with your dad last night?" Erica asked. "Your guess is about as good as mine. " I said. "Care to elaborate?" Erica asked me. "After I told my dad about how upset my mom was they both went upstairs and talked all night."

"Did you hear anything?" Erica said. "No." I replied, "and when I woke up my mom had already left for work and my dad was at training."

"Make sure that you talk to them today after school." Erica said. "Really!" I said sarcastically. When I saw an expression of hurt cross over Erica's face I said, "I'm sorry Erica I'm just upset and I didn't mean it."

"I know" Erica said "and I understand." "Thanks" I said to Erica, "your the best." Erica then smiled at me and we hugged. Erica always knew the right thing to do to cheer me up during a bad day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ here is a new chapter I hope you like it!!
