When Night Comes

Chapter 3.

Once I turned off the laptop I automatically hear dad yell " Layla! Your mom is here come down stairs please!" I felt a shock of excitement go through me. " Coming!" I yelled back I quickly got up from my chair ran to the door and jogged down the stairs.

I see mom putting the bag of take out on the counter while holding like 3 other bags. " Mom! Here let me help you out" I say walking to her taking the 3 bags and putting them on the counter. She sighs in relief and puts her hand over her huge stomach.

" Thank you Layla! Any second I thought I was going to fall down" she says letting a giggle escape her lips.
I smile but it dies quickly, " Mom you shouldn't put so much stress on yourself it could hurt the baby." I say that's when mom shakes her head " I'm fine! Don't worry! Anyway I got you your favorite food" she says smiling.

Dad comes in the picture and gives mom a kiss on the lips right in front of my face. I stand there with my face saying "Did you just really kiss her in front of me?" I rolled my eyes but then smiled "Did you get what you need honey?" Asked dad opening the take out and sorting which one belongs to him.

Mom gave him a punch in the arm. " wait for us to eat as a family." She says laughing. Dad scratched the back of his head " Sorry," he mumbles to himself. Mom looks at me," I bought you a new jacket! Cause I know how much you LOVE taking walks at night alone". She says being sarcastic at the word LOVE.

" Really? Aw, thanks mom" I say giving her a hug. We all settle down washing our hands and eat in complete silence. I say nothing while we're eating before John left he always started the conversations and they were hilarious too.
I shook John out of my head, everything I think of him I start to cry while I don't even know it.

I finished my food last while mom went upstairs to start doing her and Dads room, and dad was still putting furniture up. After while I was done eating I wiped my mouth with the napkin by me I got my styrofoam box that was full of food and its gone and I threw it away.

" hey dad is it okay if go for a walk?" I said. Dad wiped the sweat off his forehead, "Sure no problem just be careful and go get that sweater your mother bought for you Okay?" He asked continuing hammering the wall. I went upstairs and went up into Moms room and peeked through the door hearing it squeak.

"Mom where's the sweater you bought me again?.." I asked her seeing that she was putting some clothes away in a drawer. "Wasn't it downstairs on the counter where you put it?" She said looking at me concerned. "OHHHHH YEAH" I say slapping my forehead " sorry about that, well I'm going for a walk see you in a few".

Mom gives me a kiss and a hug then with that I'm off.
