The clock turned 6:00 ,
strangely Lawrence was awake it's unusual for Lawrence to get up , he usually doesn't get up till 7:00 and that's with the help of his alarm clock . He only does when it's a special event . I was confused it wasn't my birthday or luckys (Lachlan) ...
"Dad?, what are you doing up at this hour?"
" oh nothing , just couldn't sleep "
" ok , are you sure your okay ?"
"Yes yes sure"
•••
" morning "
Lachlan stumbled into the Kitchen
"Oh, morning darling"
Lachlan walked toward the fridge with a worried look on his face
"Are you okay?"
"Yeh , it's just ..."
"Just what lucky?"
Lachlan turned to look at Lawrence and turned away
"Nothing"
"What is it with you boys today?"
"No ones talking to me today and I've done nothing wrong"
Lachlan's face turned from a Frown to a facial expression that I've never seen him pull before
" YES YOU DID YOU SET UP ANDY ,NON OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF ID JUST ADMITTED TO SHOOTING GRANDAD!!!"
Lachlan's face started to crumple and a single tear fell from his face
" it's all my fault"
And obviously as a mother I felt sorry for him even though he shot my farther
"no it's not , don't say that"
" IF I BURNED MYSELF WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE TO, NON OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED"
Lachlan then stormed out of the house leaving the door open behind him..
I turned to look at my father
" what have I done?"
However, He just pulled me into a hug
I pushed away
" I need to find him God knows what's going on inside his head "
•••
I ran out of the house and as looked around the whole of the yard suddenly looked bigger than usual.
I started crying because I just knew I'd never find lucky now . ..
