Forbidden Love

Chapter 4: Dramatic Day

As soon as I saw Ryan off, I went back indoors to find myself dialing Mom's number again but the call just wasn't connecting. This might be a shocker for you guys but, I don't know my Dad's number. I never knew it. Like I said, I wasn't allowed to interrogate my Dad about anything. So there's no way I could call him.

Gosh, I have no idea what to do now. Call the neighbors for help or call the police? Well, considering me not knowing any of my neighbors, I really wasn't sure about the neighbor-idea. And as for the police, haha.....even though I didn't do anything wrong, I'm still scared of them. No biggie!

Huh, these were my last two options. What do I do now? Just wait for them to lay their fucking feet inside the house? I've been doing that so far so maybe I'll just continue it. Mom did say she'll be late but then, I sensed a terrible fear in Mom's voice the last time I talked to her. It kind of felt like I was never gonna see her again.

.......

........

'That was creepy.....'

Okay, I guess I'll just surf on the internet.... And there I was, in my bedroom again, going through e-books, new music and songs and other random stuff people usually search like 'How to get up early without feeling tired?', 'How to not fail Math?', 'What to do when you think something's wrong but you just don't know what?'....oh gosh, the suspense is killing the fuck outta me!

Suddenly, my IPhone rang. I jumped all bubble when I saw Mom's name. Phew, I guess everything's gonna be okay, now that Mom's calling me.

"Hello?" I asked.

"L-Lydia, li-listen to me c-carefully...." stammered Mom. Her voice....it sounded like she was in pain. Did she get hurt?!

"Mom?! What happened to you? Why are you stammering like that?!" I asked worriedly.

"Lydia, g-go to school tomorrow l-like nothing ha-happened."

"But Mom, how-"

"I-I will be b-back by tomorrow and t-tell you everything."

"Mom, I need you to tell me now! Mom? Mom?!"

There was no reply.

"Hello?! MOM?!?!" I screamed, yet no reply. I looked at my phone. The call was still outgoing, then why wasn't she answering back?

"MOM!!" I screamed worriedly. Instantly, the call got disconnected. I stared at my IPhone screen with my eyes filled with water and my mind filled with thoughts.

'What happened to her?'

'Why was she stammering like that?'

'Is it possible for something to happen to her?'

'Where is Dad? Why isn't he protecting Mom?'

'Will Mom really be back by tomorrow?'

"Or will she push me aside too just like Dad?'

I couldn't take it. I need to sleep. Maybe sleep will help. I lay on my bed and tucked myself inside my warm and fuzzy blanket. I led out a deep sigh and wished for things to change for the better. I really hoped that Mom and Dad are fine and will tell me about everything I don't know, at least yet. I shut my eyes and tried to take myself away from the disturbing thoughts that clouded my mind, just like how black clouds cover up the blue open sky and makes everything look dull and dark. Sooner or later, I was fast asleep. Even though I didn't have my dinner and I was hungry, well guess what, I have no idea how to cook except for making tea, coffee, omelet and macaroni 'n' cheese. And since, I can't have tea, coffee or omelet for dinner 'cause they're breakfast items and I don't have the ingredients to make macaroni 'n' cheese, I guess it's a night without dinner. And family....
