BROKEN

chapter 4

"Wanna talk about it " I asked calming her down.

"No, I mean yes ,I mean why why do good always have to pick your beloved ones .''

I hugged her wiping off her tears. Not knowing what to do as it was ,my first death experience .

"Where's your dad" I asked her thinking of the only family she is left with .

"He is in NEWYORK attending his big parties with more rich and famous people like him . I miss him and I know he will come back running if I tell him what happened but I don't want to ruin his dream trip to Manhattan and to stop him from meeting his dream fashion icon Ralph Lauren ."she told me crying .

"But he will come to know sooner or later after all your mother was famous too .She was your dad's wife(I said even may i sound foolish) .

"Ok as you wish" I said not willing to argue with her.

"How did it happen" I asked her.

"I don't know ,I mean cops called me and told me that she was on her way to home when her car collided with a truck full of milk tanks and the car slid all over the road and burned . They have sent the body for postmortem and will send it to our residence as soon as they are done with the checking ."she told me.

"Do you wanna sleep ."I asked her concerned.

"No ..I mean I can't trouble you , I gotta go and be by myself .

"No ,oh my God Leslie what the hell are saying ! Come on I order you to go upstairs .

"Okay" she said

It's been an hour and I think Leslie's asleep . But I haven't checked yet as even the thought of Tom liking me was getting on my nerves.

I mean.. how could he do this with Leslie . Why did he even get back together with her if he liked me.

My phone flashed , ...it was my mom .

"I am home open the door " she screamed.

"What were you doing , I have been at the door waiting for you since 25 minutes." she said .

"I am really sorry ,actually I was thinking about something. " I told her .

"What is it "she inquired.

"Mom !First of all stop screaming ,Leslie is sleeping upstairs ."I told her .

"Why , what happened? " she inquires again.

"Her mom passed away in a car accident." I informed her .

"Oh my God . Is she okay? " she asked .

"What do you think ?? " I asked.

"Did she called her dad " she asked .

"No he is in NEW YORK for his dream project ."I said .

"Okay so is she gonna handle it alone ."she asked.

"No I am with her". I said proudly.

"You are really young to support her in this and even you are burdened with my divorce." She said

" No mom please never say that , I love you both and can support you both. ."I said

"I know baby but still ask her about all of it in the morning" she said .

"Okay "

"And tell her that she can stay here as long as she wants." she said .

"Thanks mom you are the best. Good night "I said and kissed her on her cheek and went upstairs .
