Sun

We came back on Sunday at 9pm. The house was empty. Well, that was what I thought. I didn't want to go up my room before seeing anybody. I was sure that dad was in his office. Sam was in the kitchen like always and mom was standing in front of the window, watching the rain. It didn't stop raining. That made me crazy. The rain didn't stop.. not even a second.

Nobody was talking. It was so silent that all I could hear was Sam cleaning up the kitchen. Only her steps and nothing else. It made me worry. That wasn't normal.

Good, our house was big and really silent sometimes because talking or moving wasn't enough to make noises that could fill the rooms but this was another silence. It drove me insane.

They acted like somebody died. My heart was racing with these thoughts and I felt like I was sick.

"Mom?" I asked, slowly walking towards her. She didn't turn around.. she probably didn't hear me. She must've gone off in the rain. "Mom." I repeated, louder this time. She turned around, wincing like I scared her. When she saw me she seemed relieved. Then she seemed happy.

She walked towards me, saying "You're back!" and her eyes started shining again.. at least for a second. Then she hugged me tightly and I hugged her back. No matter how much she was trying to act like everything was fine.. everyone who would've come through that door would've noticed immediately that something was wrong.

She backed off and I saw the sadness in her eyes although she was smiling. That scared me even more. "What is wrong?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows, not wasting a second and coming to the point immediately.

"Huh?" she asked like she didn't understand me. She seemed surprised as if nothing was wrong and I would be too stupid to notice it all.

"What happened? What happened with Moon, why are you so sad all the time, why is dad so stressed? I don't understand ANYTHING!" I asked and this time I sounded really angry. I was really angry. I was loud. I didn't want to raise my voice at her but I had enough. Everyone knew something.

"Skylar broke his heart." I heard dad's voice. I turned around and saw him coming down the stairs. My jaw dropped. I couldn't let it sink. It was too much for me. I couldn't explain it to myself. I asked myself if I got it right... but that explained a lot. "H-how?" I asked, stuttering with furrowed eyebrows, totally shocked and confused. He seemed really fed up and tired. I couldn't believe my ears.. it seemed like the whole world got turned upside down while we were gone. If what he said was true then I knew that we would have to deal with the rain for another week because he loved her a lot...

"She destroyed his life and left with another guy." he said and walked towards me. I looked away. I looked out of the window and saw the rain. I couldn't understand it. How did she do this to him? How could she do this to my brother? I couldn't believe it... nothing made sense. I couldn't imagine her with another guy but I didn't even need any details to know that she hurt him really bad. What a disgusting piece of shit...

In that moment I swore myself that I was going to rip her apart as soon as I was going to see her. She didn't have a right to hurt him like this or in any other way. It didn't matter if she was cute and nice and all that shit towards me...

My blood was boiling. I walked past dad but he grabbed my arm.

"I'd suggest you to leave him alone.." he said and he didn't sound mad. His voice showed me that it was really really bad but that was enough for me to free myself and rush up the stairs. I knocked on his door but he didn't answer. I knocked again but he still didn't answer so I just entered, slowly, although I was close to explode.
