"Okay we need to write down all that we know about the event and all that lead up to it, understood?" I start writing at the top of the paper naming it 'The Alex project' really clever I know.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I see him nodding along to all that I say to him.
"Well the day it happened was June 9th, Friday."
"Yup"
"We were walking your dog"
"Hmm"
"We went to the local park down a block"
"100%"
"It was raining earlier so that might have been the reason the car was slipping on the pavement."
"True"
"Are you even listening?"
"Totally," I then heard him mumble, "my god what are these cookies made out of?"
I snap my eyes up to him seeing him taking a bite out of my orEO COOKIES! He looks up at me with a sheepish expression and hands one to me, "Want one?"
"Ya," I mumbled out taking the cookie.
I was about to take a bite out of the cookie when I stopped because I heard a knock on the door.
I look at Alex wide-eyed and I gather up everything shoving it all into my bag and other things into the kitchen cabinets. Alex was about to say something when I clapped a hand over his mouth. I held up a finger shushing him.
I whisper into his ear. "I don't know who that is nobody comes up here, let me go and check go and hide in the bedroom. In case it's someone we know."
He nods his head in understanding and quietly head into the bedroom shutting the door behind him.
I tiptoe quietly to the door and look into the peephole. It was my mother.
"Honey, I know you are in there!"
I open the door shuffling my feet side to side and I let her in through the door.
She heads to the couch and puts down her handbag, she glances around the whole cabin before looking back at me.
"Hun you know the school calls me if you're not there right?" she puts her hands on her waist and arches her eyebrow at me.
"I know, I do but It just felt right coming back here..." I sigh through my nose and glance up at her. I felt like a little kid being told off for stealing a cookie out of the cookie jar without asking first.
My mom walks towards me, "Honey, I understand why you wanted to come here this place has a lot of memories with you and him but he wouldn't want you being sad and upset, he would want you to live for him."
I nod as a way to tell her I understood what she was saying.
"You can stay here for today I told the school you are sick, just don't make this habit." She says while she hugs me and kisses my forehead. "I'll see you at home."
With that, she walks outside closing the door behind her.
As soon as the door was shut Alex opens his door and pokes his head out, "She gone?"
"Mhm, all clear," He steps out and heads back to the table.
Just then he heard the door open again, we both turn abruptly towards it, "Sorry honey, forgot my handbag-" She sees Alex.
She points at him then at me then at him again her mouth wide open.
"How-how? WHAT?!" Then she falls to the ground.
"Shit," Both Alex and I say.
