Rocky's POV:

When I got home mum was already back from work and was preparing dinner. 

"Mum! I'm home!" I shouted as I shut the front door. Riley ran upstairs. 

"Hello honey. Have you been at Izzy's?" 

I walked into the kitchen. "No, Zayn's. I was babysitting his little brother and sister with Izzy." 

"Oh," Mum nodded. "I hope you're not expecting him to pay you for babysitting because you guys are best friends since kindergarten." 

"Nah, I'm not. You know I'm not like that." 

"Yes honey, I know and I'm glad you're not like those other rude teenagers at your school." 

I laughed, "Not all of them are rude mum, just some, well actually, lots." 

"Yeah...can you go prepare a bubble bath for Riley and come help me cook dinner?" 

I nodded, "Sure mum." 

I went upstairs to Riley's room and found her drawing in her pink sketch book. 

"Come on, let's go get you cleaned up." I said clapping her hands to get her attention. 

Riley shook her head and said, "Not yet, I need to finish drawing first." 

I smiled, "Okay then, guess I'll have to put the bubble bath for myself and enjoy myself." I said knowing I'll get her attention. And I did. Riley's eyes lit up and she ran to the bathroom shouting, "BUBBLE BATH!" I laughed and ran after her. I made the bubble bath, left her to enjoy herself and went downstairs. 

"Can you make the salad?" Mum asked. 

"Sure." I went to the fridge and collected the tomatoes, lettuce and all I needed for the salad and set them on the counter. Then I remembered something. 

"Mum?" I asked while grating the carrots. 

"Yes honey?" 

"Where's dad? He's always coming late from work, do you know why that is?" 

"Yeah, your dad is working overtime." 

I frowned. Whenever he worked overtime he would be wearing his fireman suit but latest he's been going in normal clothes. I voiced my thoughts. 

"But then why doesn't he wear his uniform? Isn't he supposed to?" 

Mum frowned, "I never thought about that. I don't know why he doesn't wear his work uniform. Why are you asking so many questions?" 

I shrugged, "No reason, I was just curious." But it was more than that. I felt like something was missing, something wasn't right. I let it go for now. 

I finished preparing the salad just as the front door slammed shut. Dad's home. 

I ran to the door and jumped on dad's back. "Hey dad. How was work?" 

He smiled and let me down, he looked wore out, his hair was a mess and his eyes were bloodshot. "Work was fine, I had a busy day okay so let me go take a shower." 

He seemed a little edgy. I let it go and shook my head to answer his question. 

"Riley is in the bath so you can't shower yet."
