TAL & ADI FISHMAN, MY BULLIES

11.

*FEW DAYS LATER*

'Hey kiddo!' I hear from downstairs. It's my dad's voice...finally! I go downstairs quickly and hug mom and dad.

'We are sorry we left all of a sudden' Mom says.

'It's fine! Actually Tal Fishman came once in a while to check on me...his parents were with you guys, right?'

My parents look at each other and then say 'Uh, yes'.

My parents are really bad liars so I can notice when they are...and this is definetly a lie.

'What happened with Mr and Mrs Fishman?' I say looking at mom.

She looks down, and dad then says.

'I guess it's OK if we tell her. It's her friend too.' Dad says looking at mom

'Fine, you tell her' Mom says with tears in her eyes.

'They had a car accident' Dad says.

'How are they?' I say with tears running down my cheeks.

'They didn't survive the accident...they will be burried next week'

My whole world stops as I look at Tal's house through the window.

I open the door running and knock on Tal's door once, twice, again and again. I'm out of breath when he sees me.

As soon as he opens the door I go in and hug him. We stay like that for a few minutes and then he says 'What happened hun?' Looking into my eyes.

'Y-your p-p-parents...' I hardly get any words out of my throat.

He stands still looking into my eyes and not saying anything.

He runs towards my house and goes inside as the door was still open.

'WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PARENTS?'
