Road Trip //

Chapter 4

I fucking hate going home.
My mom and dad separated when I was still very young. I thought my dad was going on one of those 'business ventures ' he always used to go to until one day I heard my mom talking on the phone.
       

               **Flash back **

"yes you asshole! "she screamed at whoever was on the line

"hell no! You are not having Blake not when I'm still alive.When he is older he will get to choose whom he wants to live with now I'm sending you the fucking divorce papers and you will fucking sign them! "she said with so much hate

"mom? You and dad are getting a divorce? " I asked tears rolling down my face

She didn't know I was home so she froze upon hearing my question. She just stood there looking at me and I stared right back at her.

"and how long were you planning on keeping this from me? "I cried bitterly

"honey, I'm sorry "she said to me not even trying to deny it

I just stood there looking at her then she tried to move forward in my direction but I quickly run out of the house.

I couldn't take it. All the lies, all the pretence for what? They knew they were getting divorced right from the start but they kept me in the dark.

Now everything was making sense.Them constantly arguing about everything, Dad leaving with all his stuff and not even once coming back home, mom bringing home different men and when I asked her she said they were her work mates. It all made sense now.
I'm only ten but I understood what a divorce was all about. A divorced family is never the same. Everything changes and people start to look at you differently_the kid whose parents got divorced

I quickly went to my best friends place. I always used to stay at his house whenever my parents started fighting. His parents are really nice and they take care of me like their own son.
I reached the front door and I knocked softly. I heard footsteps coming towards the door and immediately I knew they belonged to Sharon, Jaces mom. She opened the door and her eyes went wide upon seeing the state I was in.

"my parents are getting a divorce "I told her before she even asked. She knelt down to reach my height and embraced me.

"oh dear I'm so sorry, everything is going to be okay. Let's get you inside and please don't cry "she consoled me but I could tell she also started crying by the cracking of her voice.

"Jace is up stairs in his room "she informed me and continued "I don't know if you want to talk about it or maybe you are not ready? " she said not knowing what I wanted .

"I will just go to Jace room for now. Thank you Mrs__"

"oh come on I always tell you to just call me Sharon "she cut me off

"thanks Sharon " I said and she gave me a sad smile, wiping under her eyes_yep she was crying too

I climbed up the stairs taking two at a time. Jaces room was at the end of the hallway.

I got to his room and I found him playing COD. I must admit that he is pretty good at it but obviously not as good as me _don't mean to brag

"Blake  I wasn't expecting you but now that you are here come join me and I will kick your ass " he said giving out his evil laugh _why am I friends with him again?

"I'm not in the mood. I will join you later. "I told him and collapsed on his bed.

"what's wrong? You never refuse to play COD, what's going on? " he asked me pausing his game and coming to lay down next to me.
