I am off with Layla Dean to her house. We walk in silence for the most part until we actually reach her house which was about a five minute walk from our school. The walked seemed a lot longer since we literally had said nothing this entire time.
Her house is cute, it is a small white house with light blue shutters and she has plants all around her house.

We both enter the house and I'm hit in the face with a very spicy smell. Layla Dean apparently notices because she is looking at me weird.
"Oh that is just my boyfriend cooking. He is from South Korea, he moved to the United States when he was five." Does her boyfriend live with her?
"Does he live with you? I know it is a personal question I'm sorry to intrude."
"Oh no you aren't intruding if you were I would tell you. To answer your question no but he is here most of the time because his parents travel for work." She says while walking to the kitchen. I don't really know what to do so I follow her.
The hallway walls are filled with family pictures it reminds me that the ways at my house aren't filled with pictures like this. We make our way down a hallway to reach the kitchen. The walls are light blue and the kitchen is really cute. I am guessing Layla Dean and her family really like light blue.

Standing in front of the stove was a tall man I'm only guessing is Layla Dean's boyfriend. I suddenly feel uncomfortable. He turns around and flashes me a quick smile that make his eyes disappear.
"Hi notice to meet you I'm Jung-Yoon but you can call me Jung. What is your name?" He says in perfect English.
"Hello I'm Alex. Nice to meet you." I say while smiling back at him.
Jung - Yoon and Layla Dean start talking so I don't really know what to do. I feel my phone buzz in my back pocket. My mom has texted me at least one hundred times since school has gotten out. I quickly tell Layla Dean and her boyfriend I will be right back. Once I reached the outside of her house I call my mom.
"Hello mom are you alright?" My stomach drops when I hear sobbing on the other end of the line.
"You need to come now Alex." I don't ask any questions.
"Okay I'll be there in five minutes." I hang up and go inside to Layla Dean that I need to leave.
I check my phone one last time before basically running home. I see I have missed calls from John and Colton. My heart drops even more and it is hard to breathe.
