Raven's POV
Alexander unlocks the front door and lets us in.
"Mom!" He calls out. My mom comes out from the kitchen. She didnt change one bit, she has on her black apron I decorated for her with an assortment of buttons from bands that love. Her hair is a creamy brown and her eyes are still a bright hazel.
"Raveey!" She says in surprise. We run to each other and hug tightly.
"Missed you mommy," I whisper to her. We let go and she smiles warmly to our guests.
"And who are these fine gentlemen?" She asks.
"Oh mom this is-"
"Aren't they those men you have on posters in your room-"
"So anyways mom!" I say and interrupt before she can say anything else more embarrassing. "This is Marilyn, Twiggy, and Zim." I say and point to each person when I say their name.
"Nice to meet you. " she says politely.
"Hi Ms. Raven's mom. " Twiggy says and waves at her like a child.
"Please, call me Rachel. " they all nod.
"Where's dad?" I ask and walk to their bedroom that maybe he's in there.
"Honey," she says and grabs my arm.
"Yeah ma?"
"Excuse us boys," She takes me to my old room. Still same old room, just how I left it. She reaches out and closes the door softly.
"What's going on mom?" She runs her hand through her soft hair. "Mom?"
"I was going to call you this weekend and tell you but," she holds my shoulders. "Daddy and I are divorcing."
"What?!" I yell. She flinches. "Mom what the hell?! What about Alexander? Huh? Have you ever thought how this is going to effect him, he's thirteen?!" She rubs my arm.
"Hun, it's just not working out. "
"How could you? You guys were inseparable! I don't know- you know what forget it. " I say and leave the room,leaving her by herself. I feel a pang of guiltiness from yelling at my mom but anger just took over me. Mom and dad divorcing. No. Not believing it. I walk in, back to the living room.
"Okay, who's ready for dinner?" My mom asks. Everyone nods and helps her with setting the table. We all sit on the long rectangular dinning room table. Zim and Twiggy sitting on one side, Alexander and mom sitting on the ends, and Marilyn and I sitting on the other side.
"Let's give grace. " my mom says and everyone bows their head. I sigh and don't bow my head. I look to the side and see Marilyn jut smirking at everyone. I nudge him. We smile at each other and roll our eyes. I mouth "idiots" and he laughs quietly. I feel a kick and I see that Twiggy is smirking but still bowing his head. I kick him back and the noise echoes. Everyone in the band laughs loudly. My mom and Alexander looks at us. Alexander joins our laughter and my mom is just giving us a disapproving look. We continue to eat.
"So, would you like to spend the night here?" My mom asks nicely.
"I think we should, I'm tired of bunks already. "
"Yeah, I think we should. " Zim says.
"Yeah, sounds good Ms. Rachel. Thank you. " Marilyn says.
"Yeah!" Alexander squeals.
"Don't think about staying up mister. You have school tomorrow, so no staying up with them. Besides, they're adults and who knows what they talk about. "
