'Mat.!
Mat!... I'm talking to you Mat...' Declan yelled as he kept walking towards me.
What do you want from me deck?
'Where were you yesterday? I kept calling you went for that trip didn't you..? ' He asked seeing my box
Yes I did and I'm glad I did. Because I don't think I can stay here with you. All you do is to bug and rave at me each time I don't follow orders.
Phew.. Mat I love u..
Deck u don't.. What was I supposed to do. Watch my friends go for a trip while I seat at home thinking of mom and dad.
I need space u know Deck and if I can only get that from my friends. At least let me hang out with them. This house only reminds me of mom Deck.

Alright.. Fine I'll give you your space. But you're grounded for today. For disrespecting me.

'Really Deck.' I said slamming my door.

Cars called.
Cars: Best friend!!!
Mat: Cars.
Cars: why do u sound so down
Mat: I'm Good only that Deck grounded me for today. I got quite lucky with him
Cars: Lols.... Babe Deck loves you okay. I can't even get away with that if it was my mom. I should be sleeping in my room for two weeks.
Mat: lols crazy girl. Happy weekend babe.
Cars: any news from the hospital?. My mom said she visited your mom yesterday. The doctor said she's recuperating. Mat don't you think you should visit her?
Mat: I said nothing and ended the call.

It's funny.., I mean you could love someone and still get angry at them for leaving you even if they're not yet gone. I was angry at Mama!. I was angry that she wasn't with me to face college and take care of Jojo. I was angry that she she was gonna leave us and join Dad. But, at the same time I cried that she had to face such medical treatment and the pain to see her children.

"Mat, U okay?'' Jojo asked.. Seeing tears running down my eyes
Yeah I am Jojo, It's nothing. How was school today?
School was fine. I need help with my assignment Mat.
'Sure let's see... So u put this here and then add up..
Try that it's easy' I said.

1hour later..
'I'm all done Mat' Jojo said giving me a high five.
Alright go eat cookies and make sure you take a nap.
Can I watch TV?
Of course after you must have taken a nap you can.
Alright.

"You should spend more time with your Jojo you know.. You two look good together' Deck said.
Yeah only if you let us go get ice cream wouldn't that be nice.
No you're grounded.
Yes ice cream. I want ice cream Deck.
Ice cream is too much sugar for you Jojo you just had cookies.
'But one bite won't kill Deck.' Jojo said
'Fine. Just ice cream and you're back to the house Matilda.. Do you promise me that?' Deck bluffed
Totally.
Yay!!.
Go dress up Jojo. We're going to the mall.
Here use dad's credit card.

At the mall.
Ma'am that's $3 each..
Here you go.
Thanks..
Mat... Can we hang out this often?
Of course Jojo...
Do you wanna go to the amusement park? I asked.
Yesssss!

Woo-hoo!!!!!
'Mat I'm flying...' Jojo screamed as he was on his ride.
I can see u baby..

That'll be $2 dollars ma'am.

Cheese... 📷click.

4 hours later
Mat..
Can I get a drink?
Sure.. Here what else?..
'Can we stay here forever.. ' Jojo asked
No darling. Deck is going to kill me.
OMG. What's the time?. Past five!. I'm so grounded.
Jojo we have to get home.. Hurry.

'Deck!'.... Jojo screamed hugging him.
'What happened this time Mat?' Deck asked this time he was really pissed.
'Can you at least follow the instructions I give at least.' He said angrily.

Deck I had the best time of my life. I rode the merry go round and the cars and even the swings.
Here look at the photos... Deck.

Jojo get inside. Go shower and prepare for dinner.
Mat and I needs to talk.
"Yes sir"

Phew... To the park really Mat?
Saturdays are meant to be fun. I don't see anything wrong with letting Jojo see the real world.
'He's just seven Mat..He's a kid' Deck said.
That deserves to have fun.. I smiled as walked into the house.

Deck can I visit the hospital tomorrow?
Of course you can..
When are you gonna go?
After school with Cars.
Alright. I topped up your account so you can shop for few clothing's for school tomorrow.
I will. Goodnight Deck.
Goodnight Jojo, I love you.
Love you too Mat.
