Beautiful boy

SURAN  :

" mom I'm home!"
I yell the moment I step through our welcoming mattress.

There was no answer.

" she must be in her room"
I whispered to myself as I push my backpack to the couch, laying my jacket on the hanger and made myself walk up to my mother's bedroom.

I knocked two times before I went in, and To my surprise she wasn't there.

I checked almost the entire house and she was no where to be found.

On the phone :

" hello!"

"Mr. Averdin, is mom still at work"

"oh, no she left two hours ago"

I stayed silent.

"she said she had something important to do about her husband, or something similar to that"

I completely freeze. Freaked my mind out.

"Tha-thank you"

" no problem suran, enjoy your day"

After a moment he hang up and I dropped on the couch.

We haven't contacted her husband for five years now, why is she suddenly meeting up with him?

His my step-dad, who beat my dad to his death, because he was protecting his wife from him. He went to jail but was bailed from one of his closest friend and since then we never saw or talked to him, as if he got deleted from both of our memories. But why is she going to him now?

I munched on my nails out of nervousness and I willed myself to wait until midnight, and if she's not back by then, I will call the police.

01:03 am

I flinched out of my dream and checked my phone to see that's already passed midnight. I looked around and saw how everything didn't change, the lights still switched on, the bottle of water was still open on the counter, and the TV was on.

I dailed  911 with shaking hands and brought it to speakers.

Tears were soon dropping out of my eyes and before I knew it I was yelling at the top of my lungs about how my mom was missing since 4 pm, which was very rare.

The young woman was calming me down but she soon started freaking out when she heard the name of Marcus McCann.

She asked if he knew were I lived and i said yes. She asked about my address and told me to stay put until two of their officers arrive.

I put the phone down and scrunched into a ball. Minutes later the bell rang. I excitedly run the door opening it, hoping it would be my mother, but it was just Yoongi, who was soon to notice everything and pulled me into a tight hug.
