Bad Timing

Chapter 33

Angel's Pov

Life can be complicated...

Sometimes things that are out of our control may happen and we know that the only thing we can actually do, is just sit and watch it unleashed. We can't stop it, we can't unmake it and we know there is nothing we can do about it.

People need to wake up and see that we can't control everything . I need to wake up... 

Life can't be controlled even if it seems like it and certainly we can't control Death. I always thought that I am the master of my life but apparently I am not. Yes, we make choices that define were we heading but we don't have control about the outcome. We can't control it...

I never knew what life had in store for me but when I found out, I wasn't so happy about it and it still disappoints me. Expect from one...

Kyle Stone.

Tomorrow is the day that my brother died and today I have to face the man who killed him, if it is him...

"Are you sure you don't want us to come with you?" my mom asked concerned as I put on my coat near the door.

"Yeah, I am sure." I said sternly.

I do not want them to come with me. This is my battle, not theirs. I am trying to protect them because I know they won't be able to live with themselves if they see the face of my brother's killer. I am sure of that because it haunts me every night...

"Ok. Who is taking you?" My dad asked with low voice.

I looked back and forth. It's time, I think, for them to know about Kyle. How are they going to react? Their reaction is what it's scaring me...  

"Kyle. Kyle is taking me." I said as I closed my eyes, waiting for their reaction. I am waiting for the blow up as I said a boy's name but nothing happens. Nothing.

"Ok." my mom finally says smiling as I opened my eyes.

What?! Just that? No questions? No nothing?

"O..k, should I be worried that you are not reacting about the fact that I just told you a boy's name? No, who he is or what kind of boy is he?" I asked confused at both of them.

My dad was calm and looked at my mom from the couch and my mom kept smiling.

"Honey, we know about Kyle for long now." she responded.

"What?" I widened my eyes.

This can't be happening...

"We know he is your boyfriend and we know how he helped you with your nightmares. I talked to your sister. I was stressed at the beginning about him but your sister calmed me down and I outgrew it. I am really happy that you found someone who cares about you." she smiled genially.

This is not my mom. My mom would have lashed at me and tell me to break things up before something bad happens... This is so weird.

"But how did you find out?" I still don't get it.

There is no way my sister told her so it must have been when Kyle was in my room... Oh God...

"I heard from your room a shout one night and woke up. I walked towards your room and I heard you two talking. I was shocked and angry at that moment but before I could go in, Cathy came and stopped me. She explained to me most of it, so I guess I am fine... As long you are not sleeping together." she crossed her hands.

"Ohh God! No, Mom! Please. You know that's not the case..." I face-palmed. "Dad, what do you think?" I asked worried.

"What your mom said. You are almost an adult and I know we can trust you to do the right thing now. I am happy as long as you are happy." he said calm.
