STRONGER (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5

I picked up my phone and tapped my moms number it ranged three times until she picked up.

"Hey Adam" mom said

"Hey mom the Israeli soldiers are inspection the houses and i'm sorry i can't come home i'm in Abds house and the houses are being observed" i said through the phone "so mom i need you to put some worm clothes on when you see them close" i said.

"Yeah okay don't worry" she said

"okay mom take care" i said

"Don't worry" she said

"Alright call me when they finish bye" i said

"Okay bye" i hung up

"Is she okay?" Abd asked

"Yeah she got used to it" i said

"What happened to you" Omar said looking at Abd

"yeah not a big deal" Abd said and Omar nodded

An hour passed now and i'm waiting for my moms call. I keep looking at the phone and waiting for her call.

"she's going to be okay don't worry" Yasser said breaking the silence. i cleared my throat and nodded.

i got off the couch making my way to the kitchen

Abd was cleaning the floor then he looked at me "did your mom call?" he asked

"not yet" i huffed and he continued cleaning

Then went to check on Omar, he was talking on the phone. I went back to the living room and my phone rang

it's mom.

"Hey mom is everything okay?" i said

"Yeah yeah alhamdolilah everything is okay" she said

"Alhamdolilah see you then" i said

"Okay bye" i hung up and looked through the window. Palestine is so pretty at night, the cold night air hit me immediately and i shivered.then shutted the window 

"Hey guys i made some tea" Abd said and i nodded as he offered me a cup of tea.

Abd doesn't have parents they died when he was 12 years old. He lived with his grandpa and when he turned 19 his grandpa died from a heartattack. We have been friends since the first grade.

Me and Abd met Yasser at the 3rd grade, he was always quite and alone. We then met Omar at the 6th grade he used to fight with Israeli soldiers everyday but it end up them running after him and him hiding...it was like a game to him.

"Guys i'm tierd" Omar said "i'm heading to bed" i checked the time it was 2:32Am

Abd and Omar went to sleep while me and Yasser were waiting till the Israelies finish inspection so we can move.

"i need to sleep" Yasser yawned.

I yawned after him "yeah me too" i felt my eyes heavy.

"Adam ADAM!" i heard my mother screaming my name she was on the floor blood everywhere i start screaming "MOM MOM!"

"Adam Adam wake up!" i opened my eyes

"It's just a dream" he said

i exhaled, its just a dream.

"what time is it?" i cleared my throat

"4:50.. i guess we can move on now" he said and i nodded and made my way to the front door and opened it

the weather was nice Yasser was behind me and shut the door.

"See you" he said

"Yeah you too" i start walking till i made it to the house, opened the door, and i found my mom sleeping on the couch

She must have been waiting for me..

I shut the door slowly and took my shoe off.

"mom..mom" i said

"yeah" she said

"i'm back go sleep in your room"i said and she nodded she made her way to her room

I made my way to mine and my phones battery died. I charged it and sat the alarm at 6:50

then headed to bed.
