Clues for love

C H A P T E R 1

It was a Monday afternoon, I had just arrived home from school and I could hear my 5 year old sister Grace crying and I was a little concerned.

I went upstairs into my room,  put my school bag away and took out my water bottle and containers from lunch out of my bag and went downstairs and placed it on the kitchen counter.

I walked into the lounge room and I could see tears coming down from my mother's eyes, but I didn't feel like I should ask yet and maybe ask Grace first to see what happend.

I went to go check on Grace and she was in her room, playing with her dolls and I was concerned to why she was crying, being the happy girl she is always is. "What's going on Grace" I ask. "Mummy and Daddy are fighting" Grace replies. " don't worry  Grace, I'm sure it's just a small disagreement that they had" I answered.

I was worried to where my father went, and my mother was cooking dinner so I left her alone and went to spend time with Grace.

"Grace do you know where daddy went?" I asked. "Daddy left home, without telling mummy or me" Grace answered.

It was already 5:00pm and it was time to do some homework, I didn't have much for homework and I was glad.

It was 6:30pm and it was time for dinner and my father was still not home.

"Dinner time girls" my mother yelled out. "Coming" we shouted.

Mum, Grace and I were all sitting at the dinner table and Dad still hadn't turned up for dinner.
"Mom, where's Dad?" I asked. "Your father and I are having an argument at the moment and he left the house without telling me" my mother replied.

"Well hopefully he comes home soon" I replied. "I hope so too" Grace said.

It was 8:30pm, it was my sisters bedtime and my father still wasn't home. I started to panic and cry. I ran up to my room, locked my door and sat on my bed with tears falling down from my eyes. Five minutes later, I hear my mom walking up the stairs to go check on my sister and all I could hear was my sister shouting "WHERE IS DADDY". My heart broke and tears just kept on falling down.

I unlocked my door, walked into my sisters room and my mother was hugging my sister, trying to keep her calm. My mother looked at me and could see that I was worried, she held my hand and whispers to Grace and I "everything will be okay".

It was 10:00pm and my sister was finally asleep and it was time for my mother and myself to get some sleep and hoping by tomorrow my father will be back.

My mother was on the couch, watching television and i said to her "mom maybe you should go get some sleep", "I will sweetheart, thankyou" my mom said.

"Okay goodnight Mom, I love you and I will see you in the morning" I said. "Okay honey, goodnight and I love you too" my mom answered.
