TAL & ADI FISHMAN, MY BULLIES

21.

So, it has been a few weeks since that fight happened...my ankle is fine btw, just had to rest it for 3 days and then I could slowly start doing all my hobbies and what ever I wanted to do.

Tal keeps apologizing, and it lowkey started annoying me...I mean I told him it's fine over a thousand times...it is sweet tho and all, because he cares about me and stuff, but still...

I get out of my thoughts because of the doorbell. Tal and I are going to the beach, and I am reaaally looking forward to it. I honestly love going to the beach, and not bring able to go there...it hurt me a lot.

'Tal I am almos-' When I open the door, it is not Tal standing there, it's...they are...Tal's parents.

'Hi sweety...' His mom says when seeing my surprised and scared face.

'I thought you guys were...dead!' I say in disbelief. Am I dreaming? Or is it a nightmare?

'I am sorry for that lie...but it is better for Tal and Adi if they never see us again'

'Come in, Tal can be here any second. We are going to the beach...you can stay here for the day' Honestly they know the house better than I do. They have stayed his so many times 'till midnight or later talking with my parents, they know exactly where everything is. Also, I don't want to ask them right now for an explanation about the whole dead-not-dead lie...maybe one day they will tell me.

I have always seen them as my parents. Many times, when my real parents had to go on a bussiness trip, I could always stay at their house. I was always welcome, I even have a key, so that if something happens at night or I don't feel safe or so, I can go into their house. There is a bed in Shani's room which isn't being used, so I can use that one when I stay over. Now if something happens, I sleep in Tal's bed, with him next to me, to feel safe.

'Thank you...you go have fun. We can talk later. We won't make any mess, don't worry' She says trying to make me smile. 'Also, is the guest room still free?'

'Always for you guys, but one thing. Isn't it better if you guys sleep in ur own house? Not that it is any problem ofcourse! But, my parents are gonna be gone for 2 months or longer, and Adi doesn't live in your house anymore...Tal could sleep here, and you could sleep in your own house' That way, Tal and I have some more alone time.

'Wait...' Tal's dad begins. 'Are you and Tal...'

'Maybe' I mean, why lie to them.

For a minute there I got really scared of their reaction, but they look really happy, so that's good.

'That is amazing news! Welcome to the family' His mom says. I can't resist to laugh. Then the doorbell rings, Tal's parents rush up with their suitcases, beginning this lie... Is it going to work? And why did they have to create such terrible lie?
