Chapter 25 – Part 1
I parked my car in my parents’ driveway and I saw that my mom's car wasn't there. I felt so nervous that my hands were sweaty. I got to the front door and I walked in the house.
I could see my grandfather standing in the kitchen. "Hi." I said before closing the front door.
He turned around and smiled at me. "Hello Amanda. How are you?" He asked politely.
I closed the door and walked to the kitchen.
"I'm good. I came to talk to my parents, well when my mom gets home." I told him.
"That's good..." He said. It had almost been two months that my grandparents had been around and it was still awkward. Our silent moments weren't comfortable and I was always trying to think of something to say that would interest him or my grandmother.
"Yeah... How do you and grandma like the apartment?" I asked.
"It's good... clean and quiet..." He said, looking everywhere except at me.
"Do you need help? In the kitchen I mean." I asked.
"No, I'm good thanks. I was going to make a sandwich...late lunch." He said with a small smile finally giving me eye contact.
"Okay..." I stood there not knowing what to do.
I looked around the kitchen and I still couldn't come up with a sentence that would make sense so I gave up.
"Is my dad in his room?" I asked.
"No he's in the living room with your grandmother." He said, again not looking at me.
I wasn't sure if he disliked me or if he was just sad. He was a hard man to read and I couldn't understand why he was behaving the way that he was.
"Okay, thanks." I told him.
I could hear the TV as I got closer to the living room. The volume wasn't high but just enough to listen to it and have a conversation at the same time.
"Hi!" I said to both of them as I walked in the living room.
"Hi honey! This is a surprise I didn't know you were stopping by." My dad said.
"Well I was in the neighbourhood." I lied and the look my dad gave me, he knew I was lying.
"How are you dear?" My grandmother asked.
"I'm good thanks. How are you?"
"Very well thank you. Did you just finish work?" She asked.
