Mom knew that we dont have a class this Friday. So I can sleep up to 11 am. I'm in my dream land untill I heard a loud thump at my mom's room.It woke me up. At first I thought, it must be mom being clumsy again. So I dont bother getting up and went back to sleep. And then I heard a louder thump from her bedroom. I jumped out of my bed and rushed through her room
"what was that?" I scratched my head and still sleepy. My mom looked at me and as I looked at her room my eyes widened
" you're leaving?..." I asked sadly as I saw many bags packed.
" yep, untill the end of summer. I'm gonna lead a project in another country" . Whole summer? And I expected to spend the whole summer with my mom. This is what I hate about her job.
" so dear, I'll left you some money. And I have a grocery last night for your food for the whole summer. I know you can cook and breakfast is downstairs." she changed the topic.
I looked down... changing the topic wouldnt help " oh sweetie.." my mom hugged me tight and I hugged back. I know its wierd but, I cried. It just so happens that I love my mom very much, and this is what I have become. A momma's girl, I think. Even if I said "dont go" to her wouldnt count. Its her job, I cant do anything about it. We went downstairs, I helped my mom get her bag in the taxi, before she went in the taxi... she hugged me again
" I 'm gonna honey, please be careful. I love you.
" I'm gonna miss you too mom. Take care... I love you too." I said controlling my voice. She kissed my forehead and whispered goodbye. As she got in I waived goodbye with a fake smle and she waived goodbye with a smile. The taxi was out of sight, So I went in the house.
I sat on the couch thingking how's she's doing right now. Suddenly I heard a loud knock at the door. ' come in" I said. It was Hayden "
"hey, you okay?"
" do I look like I'm okay" I hugged a a pillow.
" I saw everything at my window. your mom left..." he sat beside me
" I'm just not used to it..." my tears are about to burst but Hayden let me cry on his shoulder.
" dont cry... you'll get used too it" he said comforting me. I cried for like 3 minutes? so when I'm done, I saw Hayden's left sleeve is wet
" I'm sorry..." I said a little embarrased.
" hey dude its fine. dont worry about it." he smiled. He went to the kitchen and handed me a glass of water. I choked when I drank the water, then Hayden pat my back
" woah, slow down"
" so this is how it feels to be when they left you for a very long time "
" yeah, its kinda hard if it is first time" he leaned on the wall too. " to tell you the truth my parents always leave at summer since I'm 8 yrs. old " he sighed.
" what is it like at your first time?" I asked catching my breath
" since I'm just a little akward kid back then, I used to hug my parents legs while crying and shouting dont go. And I kept their bags so they wont go but they usually find it." he giggled
" so you dont got to spend your summer with your parents since 8?"
" yeah... Here I'm 15 yrs old, still willing for them to have a summer with me.." he sighed. I never knew Hayden's life was like that.
I sat back at the couch staring at the floor. Hayden was still in my house, maybe he sees in my face that I dont wanna be alone. He was looking at some pictures " who is this scarlet haired girl too? is this your sister? he analyzed the picture
" she's my cousin"
" where is she now?" he smiled
" do you like her?" I asked trying to smile
" a little bit cause she's cute" he stared at the picture
" well, she only have 2 daughters and a charming husband"
" oh damn" he giggled. I laughed, he made my horrible day.
" wanna watch a movie?"
" yeah sure" he started picking up DVDs at the shelf. " what about this?" he handed me my favorite movie How To Train Your Dragon..
" you havent watch this movie before?" I grabbed the DVD. He shook his head like a little child. I smirked and played the movie. We ate popcorn while we are watching
" aw, Toothless is so cute.."
Hayden giggled " I know right?" he munched a popcorn. He probably thinks Toothless was cute too. It was a really cute movie, a lot about a cute friendship.
After the movie " dude,I'm going back home to have dinner, I'm gonna go back here after I'm done " he stood up. I just looked at him with a slight smile and then he left. I had a baked macaroni for dinner. After that, I went back to my favorite spot... the couch.
I watched cartoons and random stuffs. I let my long bangs cover my eyes " 1 2 3 4 5 I caught a fish alive" I begun singing a nursery rhyme
" did I just heard you sing a nursery rhyme" Hayden burst in the house
"knock first?" I swoop my bangs away
" but I'm already in" he joked. Hayden grabbed the remote
" dont you dare change the channel while I'm watching Tom and Jerry!"
"nah dont worry, I wont" he changed the channel.
I groaned. " pfft... dweeb". And so, I sang loudly...
" 1 2 3 4 5! I CAUGHT A FISH ALIVE!"
" will you please shut the eff up?"
"why so?"
" I'm watching TV!" he pointed the Tv
" but I'm not watching TV" I twirled my hair
" so what? stop singing!"
" I'm singing and you interrupted it!"
" you suck at singing now please shut up"
" I wouldnt shut up if you wouldnt shut up"
" that doesnt make sense at all"
" it doesnt matter if that didnt make sense at all"
" what can I do to make you shut up?"
" change the channel back to Tom and Jerry"
He changed back the channel to Tom and Jerry " you acted like a little kid"
" no you are!
" no you are !"
" no you are Crisel Kae Estrella!"
" no you are Hayden William Smith!"
After that we both shut up. When Hayden mentioned my full name, I realized how wierd my name was. When it was 9:30pm... I noticed how late it was and I need to go to bed
" you're not gonna sleep are you" Hayden looked at me
" you're not going home are you?"
. " I wouldnt go home untill you sleep"
I sighed " fine, fine. I'll go to sleep" I went upstairs and followed me.
" there, I'm already in my bed" I fixed my blanket
" you call that sleeping? you havent closed your eyes, close your eyes first!"
I closed my eyes and he giggled. He gave me a friendly goodnight kiss at the forehead " good night" he walked through the door
" sweet dreams" I said as he turned off the light and went back home.
