Dreamer Of Reality

Chapter 4 ~ (The Tragic Truth)

Of course my mother knew that I was going to visit my brother and that's why she invited Alice to the lunch, Mark -My teacher- was invited too and I looked at him pleading that he would come because I am not ready to go to my old house and remember all the old memories, I know that will tear my apart therefore I am not going to let that happen in front of my parents and Alice.

Mark used to see me crying because he was the only one who stood by my side ,even know I pushed him away several times but he just didn't give up. I really trust him but I just don't know why he told that Alice, When I asked him he said that I will understand everything later.

I can't stop thinking about Alice and the secret behind her, there must be something hidden! I met her today at the school and I was really mean and rude to her, but what was her motivation to stay here with my parents after what she knew about me?

"Lunch is ready everyone." my mother said calling for my dad and Mark.

My father waa sitting at the head of the table, at the right side my mother and i were sitting and at the left side Alice and Mark were sitting. I looked at them all wondering what's wrong with their dead silence, it seems like Alice noticed that too.

"Amy so you were living here, right?." She said trying to start a conversation, at the beginning I thought of ignoring her but why would I? I let out a sigh and nodded my head lightly with a weak smile.

Her question was really simple and normal but it wakes up a lot of memories about my childhood, my brother, Luc.

Luc ... That dream! I can't forget his voice and the way he was talking to me, the sadness in his voice, the song he used to sing it to me. Why can't I just forget about him and move on?

My father called me and all the attention was directed to my father's next words and I know that there was something wrong with him because he was drumming his fingers on the table, I know it's been long time since the last time I was here but I still know them very well and i am sure that mt father was going to open a touchy topic.

"Amy hun, i know that you already said that you want to start a new life by yourself but we really missed you, you can't you just come back here? With us." My father's words were really full of sadness but i didn't understood why would he ask me to come back in front of Alice, but I droped it and started thinking about my father's word, he doesn't have any idea how much i missed him and how much i wish i could come back to my warm house and sleep in my room listening to my mother's warm voice, but i know that i can't. It will be really hard for them, even know that i look nothing like Derick but my mother used to say that she could see Direck just by looking at my eyes, and that was really painful for her so moving out was the best thing that I could do.

I looked at my father and noticed that he was still waiting for my answer, and I didn't want to tell him the truth, he will blame himself about my decision.

"Dad, I-." I was going to answer him but Alice interrupted me.

"Yes Amy why can't you just can't you come back here? It's a wonderful house!." I met her today at the school and now she is here with me, at my parent's house, eating with us AND driving me mad.

"Mind your business Alice." I said calmly and excused myself.

I rushed up stairs to an old room, I opened the door slowly and looked around me. The room is the same, nothing changed from two years, every single thing is the same. I continued looking around until my eyes drop on a photo on the night table beside the bed, I looked deeply in the photo, it was an old photo for Direck and Luc and I was standing between them smiling wildly. Looking at that photo made me feel a huge hole in my chest so I rushed out of my brother's room to mine, well I don't know if it's mine anymore.
