After putting my suitcases into my dad's Porsche car trunk, I'm sitting on the bench on his right. When I close the door, he starts the engine and smiles.

- Are you happy seeing them, Nora? It's been a year since you saw them already! he reminds me

- Yes! The thing is that i really wanna see if Grandpa's doing better than he is then before, with the surgery.. I lie

The truth, is that I would have prefered not going there. My boyfriend cheated on me, my Best Friend relocated and will never come back, school is harsh and I have nobody to rely on. That doesn.t mean I don't want my grandfather to get better, no hell, no! Simply, my emotions and my life are really messed up in my head and my heart. the road takes about 2 hours, more or less. During the road, I listened to Stromae. I think his most known song is Papaoutai? Anyways, my dad just opened the car's door, at my side.

- Hurry up, Nora! Weren't you happy seeing them? he asks

I agree with him and follow him, closing the door. Grandmother Denise greets us, arms wide open.

- Hi, Stephan! Hi, Nora! I know, I'm in the entrance hall but I was very excited seeing you! Nora, your grandfather is in the bathroom, he should arrive soon! she exclaims

Exactly, he comes to me. I let the kisses and greets pass, I don't have the mood to smile. We headi to the elevators. At the same moment grandmother Denise is about to open the door, I feel like the world is falling. My sight becomes black and I'm not able to see anything.
