When I reached home and parked my car on our driveway, I saw none of the lights was on. Why our house is in complete darkness? Outside, there was just a street light, that was even flickering. This atmosphere is weirding me out. I came out of my car and locked it. But I didn't move. Didn't make any movement. I was tired, with all the drama which is happening in my-so called simple, which is definitely not, and nobody can see it-life.

There was a dog barking in the distance. I never had a problem with a dog barking, but today it's messing with my head. It's painful. I don't want to get crazy. I like dogs. They are nice. What am I even thinking? I need an aspirin. Now. I walk to our front door. I can't see any sign of the lights inside. Is nobody home? Where is mom? Where is Paras? I knocked on the door. One time. Second time. No answer. Oh, we have a bell. Now, why the hell am I forgetting things?

I pressed the bell switch beside the door. One time. No answer. Second time. No answer. Maybe the third time will be a charm. I pressed it again. No answer. Last I checked, nobody was deaf in our house. Why nobody's home? Don't they know I might be coming home at this hour of the evening. Are mom and my brother have somewhere and are having fun, without me? Did they forget me? My own mother forgot me? She is actually going crazy. I should probably look for some good rehab centre on the internet. I want my mom to be good and healthy again, I can't see her like this. Suffering. Dad, why did you left us? Why? I looked up at the night sky through the edge of the door shelter. No star. They say when people die, they become a star. And look, there is not a single star I can see right now. They lie. Everybody lies. I lie too.
I guess it's the human nature of lying.

Why again I'm having these thoughts.

I snatched out my phone, and I try to switch it on but it's not happening. Now, why the hell my phone is not working. It shows battery low. I even forgot to charge my phone after coming from school, because I got distracted with mom and her... whatever. I've to get inside. I remember I had an extra key with myself. I started searching for it in my side pockets. It's not there. Maybe it fell out of my pocket, but where it can go. I turned back to search it inside the car. It might be there. Today was so fucked up. The unluckiest day ever. First, whatever Mr Moore taught me all about negative thoughts, I don't even know how that works, then Anna and Raja thing, then dealing with mom, the cafe, Praful, coffee on my shirt and Abhimanyu. No. Abhimanyu was not the bad thing happened to me. He can never be. Besides, he is the only good thing happened to me today. He has that energy around him, that makes me feel things that I only feel for him.

I searched the whole car and I can't find the key. It's not even under the seats. Now, how am I supposed to get inside my house? Wait! The backyard door. That door might be open. I closed my car door and locked it again. Then I walk around the house up to the backside. I moved towards the door and swiftly, turned the handle. It clicks open. Thank god. I thought I would have to stay outside or in my car for the whole night, because I can't go to my friend's house at this hour because-I know they won't have any problem-it's weird. It's just weird, that's what my mind tells me.
