The Way To New Beginnings

chapter 19

I go into the room and see Naomi and Jenny laugh out loud and I do not understand what's going on. They sit on the table with my mother and I have no idea why she's here.

mom! What's going on? Is everything ok? Everything is fine Sweetie, I want to visit my daughter, what is not allowed? "I'm not complaining," just a little shocked you're here! And I ask again

"Is everything all right?" Because it seemed strange to me that she was here, in response? She takes her smile off and says quietly to me, "We need to talk!"

"Okay!", It seems to me no good. We enter the second room inside my apartment, my friends have already gone and left us alone, "Mom what happened?"

"Your father and I argued, and we're not so talking right now!"

 "Okay, argue like any ordinary couple in the world, right?"

 She tries to explain that their argument is not their usual arguments, and apparently, she is not just here. "Come on, Mom, why are you silent now?"

"Dad and I got into huge debts that we thought we paid for, but the interest got even worse."

I did not want to bother you sweetheart, but we're probably getting divorced! What! Why? Because of this? But we can arrange something with the bank, or I'll find more work besides the private lessons I do and give you money, "My darling I do not want you to pay our debts!" "No, I'll do anything, so you do not get divorced, you want to get divorced. After 27 years together, I do not accept it, I will leave school so you will not get into this situation. " My mother opens her eyes and responded, "You do not give up on your studies, I will not agree to that either, it's your future, you start it now, I will not let you quit in the middle."

  "So what are we going to do?"

  "I did not want you to be involved, sweetie, but there's something else I did not tell you. They fired me before you started, I can not find a job at all, and you know it's hard to find a job these days!" " wait, what? I can not believe that everything falls on me in one day, please someone wake me up from this nightmare! "And how do I know about it just now?" "We did not want to bother you," really, Mother? " Do not be angry, dear, I know it falls on you like this, I just did not know what to do and to whom to turn to him " "And another question, but do not be angry with me, I'm tired and answer" Yes, what? " "Can I sleep in your apartment for only a few days?" "Why ?" "I thought I might find a job here, I can not find anywhere now." "And how did Dad agree to that, that you will be with me here?" "We do not really talk!" "I have to get away from this mess, try to arrange something and I promise you that everything worked out." "Okay, sure!" This nightmare is real In fact there is a problem, I look at her with a shocked face, and she does not understand  

"something happened?

"Nothing, Mom, everything's fine. We'll manage, I go outside to call Dad, tell him you're here so he will not worry.

I leave the room, my mother stays there to arrange her things, and I think, oh no, what am I doing now? I need to learn tomorrow with Theo. And my mother is here, how did I get in like this? If I just had his cell phone off ... Why does it always fall on me?

Should I go to his room and tell him that in the end, we cannot meet tomorrow? Or if I see him tomorrow I'll tell him? And learn somewhere else? Or something like that? Before I decide what to do to go talk to him, there are knocking on the door, I ask "Who is this?"

"Theo!"

What? Oh, what does he want now, I open the door with his big smile as usual, and I melt, he asks if I have sugar? And I say "Yes!" Come in.

  Liam! Who's that? Oops, I forgot she was here, I answered her in a high voice." Theo! "And she comes out of the door a little. He smiles at her and holds out his hand and says," Hello, Liam's mother, how are you? "

  "I'm Sharon Levine, Liam's mother, as you know and laugh, it's very nice to meet you!" It's a pity I did not film this play, and I'd better stop it and now, I offer a glass of sugar to Theo and say, "Ok, here's the glass with the sugar!" A kind of hint, I'm with my mother and that's not the time for small talk, Theo said  Nice to meet you" and my mother replies" me too! "

 So tomorrow at 17:00 we set up to study, right? I stand in shock and stammer a ... mmm. My mother speaks before I can say something, "Really excellent, where do you study?" And I say, in a low voice, "Here, I forgot to tell you, mother, you know," No, it's all right, my sweetheart, I'll find something to do tomorrow, you'll learn here quietly, I will not interfere, she turns her gaze and winks at me so that Theo will not notice . I look at Theo. He smiles at me and raises an eyebrow. Okay, stop this look before Mum notices and she does not stop asking questions. Theo says to break the tension. "So I think I'll move, I will not disturb you ladies," and winks at me.

  I blush and smile Oh Liam, stop showing that you're excited, and my mother replies, "Theo! You can jump at any time you want." I scowl at my mother Do not do it "gladly" ... Theo goes to his room and I close the door. and I raise my voice and say, "What do you think you're doing?" And she says slyly, "Liam! I just raise the tension between you two." " Will you do something with that? Do you see that he is interested in you? " Are you serious about telling me that? " "First he has a girlfriend, and she is stunning," and the second thing I will not do anything with it " "You speak again for lack of confidence,  

"When will you understand that everything is in your head and you lack nothing, you are beautiful and smart, and everyone would want someone like you"

As much as my mother talks a lot I love her, she reads me like her hand, she's good my mother so it's clear she'll say positive things about me, she comes and hug me, and tells me

"Tomorrow you'll dress nicely, and wink ..." Mother! Come on, stop it! We look at each other and burst into laughter that never stops ...
