My friend From The Corner

A PARTY Ch. 7

I told my Mom that I was going to a party she let me go and now I am dressing up, I need to quick who knows what they will do if I get late.

This doesn't even matter, I'm just wearing a white casual long-sleeve shirt and black jeans.

'This will do'

After I was done I went outside and saw Connor waiting for me.

'Connor we can go now!'

'Shhh... Do not want your mom to ask who you are talking with-'

'Why not?'

'She's going to start worrying about you since well you know, and you do not want that do you?'

'Touché'

'But we should go now'

'Alright'

'Mom, I'm going now see you later!'

'Okay, take care dear! And be safe!'

'Yes mom I will'

We then left to go towards the same location the party will occur in.

'Mark, if I may ask, why isn't your father at home that often, is he at work?'

'W-well it's... I...'
Why am I getting scared? Why am I shaking?.

'If you do not want to answer then don't. I do not want you to say anything you dislike...'

'Oh no it's just that the question you asked wasn't something I was ready for but since you want to know...

My father isn't really at home to stay, he's only at home because he asks mother to give him money... And that isn't fair, because my mother actually works hard for that for a good reason meanwhile someone is too lazy to do something as common as working yet, my mother loves him a lot, she says he wasn't like this before and I am sure that he was just pretending and now he has shew his true colors'

'Oh... Sorry for asking'

'You don't need to be sorry, it actually feels nice to talk to someone about your feelings so I feel relieved!

Not once have I ever talk to someone about my real emotions before. I could have told my mother but... I don't know if she will understand mentioning I do not want to make her worry.

And since I feel like you went through the same thing or similar to mine then I can talk freely about what's going on in my mind because I know you will understand. '

'You really remind me of myself...'

'Really?'

'Yes, the only difference is that you are always positive, you look at the bright way of things, even if you get angry... You just think positive. Even in the places were hope may not reside you always make a way for positivity to abide.'

'Awh!, Your are making me flustered thank you! I never got any compliment from someone but my mother!.

But trust me there is still hope... Even if you don't see it you just have to believe and well I may be positive but forgiving is hard or at least for me.

And also, I did not know you could form poems like that!, you should be a poet!'

'H-huh?' He says flustered definetly with pure embarrassment on his face.

After a brief moment of silence he says-.

'Thank you, I never really get acknowledgement for the things I am good at...'
