Night Sky {Kellic}

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

It was officially a week since we got here. Seven days, but I'm kind of getting more of a routine now.

Mom didn't have work today, so I decided to go out driving around the city and just see what it has to offer. Let's say, there was a whole bunch. I knew it would be so much different but I was still amazed.

Unfortunately the day went by quicker than expected so I decided to go home since I knew my mom would get worried if I got home too late. When I got there, she was on the phone - with what I assume is a patient. She kept talking so I knew I should just leave her alone.

There were some empty cardboard boxes beside her and as soon as she saw me, she motioned me to put them outside. Nonetheless, I walked outside to the trash and put them inside the recycling bin.

Sometimes I wish I had a sibling. It can get. . .pretty lonely when she's busy and all. But it's nice to be alone sometimes.

And at that moment I had an idea.

Since we are starting new and all, maybe we should get a dog. Back home we didn't because my father hated dogs. He just hated their guts. But now, he's not here.

I looked at the grass and smiled as I pictured a small or large dog running around with a toy in its mouth. The image in my head had me smiling like a little five year old girl, but then suddenly I heard something.

First instinct was to stop and listen to it but slowly I started to move towards the sound. I found myself walking closer to the Fuentes' house and immediately stopped when I heard him. It was Vic.

There was some muffled words so I couldn't really understand what he was saying. Although I heard something clear as water. He was crying.

"Fuck!" He semi shouted at the wall, kicking one of the buckets to the ground.

I was frozen. My body and mind suddenly stopped working and I found myself staring at the hopeless looking boy at the other side of the wall.

I was in shock and found myself wondering what his problem was. Why was he in this state right now? What could possibly be happening to him? He looked fine when I saw him, or I guess I assumed. My next movement surprised the fuck out of me, and as soon as I had done it, I regretted it. I have no idea what came over me.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked.

This is not my business. This is not my business. This is not my fucking business!

So why the fuck did I just say that!

He turned around and faced me, giving me a better look of his face. For sure, redness covered his watery eyes, and his cheeks were tear stained. I knew he was in utter shock, heck I was in shock.

This can't be happening. Not now. Not with him.

"Uh, I uh-" he couldn't seem to find any words to come out of his mouth. It's like he was also frozen.

I stood there not knowing what to do, but then he spoke again.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." He wiped his eyes with his hands and then turned around without giving me a chance to see his face again. Before I could speak, he walked back inside.

When he had spoken, he sounded so vulnerable. So lost. What could be going on in his world that left him like this?

-

A few days had passed and I hadn't heard from Mike or Vic, which I was grateful for. I have no idea how I would react if I saw them.

I haven't done anything, but lazing around the house has been on the agenda. I want to get out but I don't have a car and mom is always working.
