016. "Shut up, asshole."

"Dear diary,

It's Monday, again. And guess who is tired and exhausted? Me. Again.

I did absolutely nothing yesterday and saturday. I finished my psychology's project and talked with Sana on the phone. But most of the time i watched Netflix and ate chocolate that was filled with peanut.

I'm lazy.

"Mom, are you serious?"

For three days, she has only talked about Even. All the time. I'm not even joking right now.

"What? I want to get to know my son's boyfriend!"

I rolled my eyes and kept fighting with her.

"He's not my boyfriend, officially at least." I said.

"Don't care." Mom answered.

I left the room and walked to our living room. Mahdi, Jonas and Magnus were there. I haven't had really that much time to be with them.

"Oh, now i see where you got your attitude from." Magnus said.

I jumped onto the couch, next to Jonas. I stared at the ceiling.

"Why don't you let your mom meet Even? I mean, there's nothing wrong in that." Jonas suggested.

I thought about it for a second.

"Absolutely no." I answered.

They all let out dissapointed groans. They really didn't get my point in this, which was very important.

"Are you guys totally nuts?" I said to them after being tire of hearing their dissapointed noises.

"Just a while ago Jonas and i caught him kissing his ex-girlfriend. Even's not stable. And neither is our relationship." I whispered to them so my mom wouldn't hear.

"What do you mean he's not stable?" Jonas asked.

I realized that i haven't told them that Even is bipolar. It was none of their business, but at some point i had to tell them.

"He's bipolar." I let it out.

They all went quiet for a whole minute. They just stared at each other.

"My mom is bipolar, too." Magnus finally said.

I didn't know that, and i was pretty surprised. I have seen Magnus' mom once at school, but i didn't notice anything.

"But, when i saw her she seemed to be like... Normal" I said.

That sounded stupid, and a little bit offensive. Of course his mother was normal, what i was thinking?

"She is normal", Magnus admitted.

"Well, what kind of person she is?" I asked.

"She's fucking amazing. I mean, sometimes you can't get any contact to her, but besides that she's great. She just locks herself to her room for a couple days sometimes, but i'm used to it." Magnus explained.

"Oh, ok." I answered.

"But you and Even are in contact, right?" He asked.

"Yeah, sure." I said and we ended the conversation.

We played some PlayStation games. Or better, Magnus, Mahdi and Jonas played while i was texting with Even.

We talked about some random stuff. Everything seemed to be normal and good. But it's always calm before the storm, right?
