Looking at the phone every now and then, I was waiting for a message from Sean. It was already approaching 4:00 am. By 5:50am we should be after check-in.
I was waiting with my luggage when a car drove up to my house.

-Get in, we must hurry - Sean said. He got out of the car, helped me pack my bags, and we got inside together.

-Yooo Kaycee, how long have I not seen you! - Said Serris and Sarah, between whom I sat, Sean's parents were sitting in front, while Shamu himself with his luggage sat in the trunk, with a laptop and a camera on which he had another film to edit.

my little workaholic.

It was after 6:00am. After the check-in, we immediately headed to the plane. We took some of the best places. I was glad that I was sitting by the window overlooking the beautiful sunrise.
Sean was sitting next to me, along with Serris. Miya, Cheuk and Sarah sat behind us so that we would be as close to each other as possible. We had quite a long journey, so I put on my airpods, put on some calming music and I immersed myself in the world of melodies.

Los Angeles - Rejkiavik

The flight went without any problems. Same as going to your destination. Our accommodation was a cottage .. or rather a private apartment in the highlands with a view of geysers and glaciers.

wonderful view.

Finally, I had time for a good rest. I unpacked, put everything in appropriate shelves and started browsing social media in peace.

By the time..

The noise that came from Sean's room was unbearable. The quarrel with his dad is one of the rarest things you could ever meet. Sean I know is a very calm, humble and intelligent man.

it starts again.

Though the sentences were quite vague, it was clear from the argument that Sean was arguing with his dad. I wanted to go to check what was going on, but on the other hand I thought that it was the family and they had the right to their own problems, and I'm only a guest here, so I drowned out the sounds of music from my headphones and went to sleep.

-Kayc? Get up! Dinner is waiting. - I heard Serris's voice, rather indistinctly, who wanted to wake me up.

-Hmm? What time is it? - I asked in a rather monotone voice

-After 6:00pm. You slept a long time.. - Serris said, sitting on the bed beside me.

-I heard Sean and your dad quarrel..

-You know, I guess I'm slowly getting used to it.

-In what sense are you getting used to?

-Sean has become quite aggressive verbally towards dad and even me for a while. He began to neglect his routine, fewer and fewer people follow him on Instagram, and even people with whom he cooperates do not want to continue cooperation.

I was speechless. I was surprised that a person I knew so well turned out to be so strange to me. In my life I wouldn't expect it from him ...

i need to talk with him.

-Dinner!! - said a voice from the ground floor, which was a kitchen with dining room and a small living room. Without waiting, I went down with Serris

-Sit down Kaycee. I'm going to bring you a plate - Miya said.

Miya was one of the calmest and kindest women I've met so far. I'm so proud of her that she has raised such a wonderful three children.

-You are happy with the choice of place? - Sean asked as he overheated the grilled asparagus

-You could have more character - said Cheuk.

-Mhm, you're starting again..

-No, I won't. You asked yourself and I expressed my opinion, my son.

-No, you start denying my ideas again, just like in all my life. - I saw anger in Sean's eyes, but I couldn't help it.

-Okay, calm down now. We have winter break, Thanksgiving Day and Shamu's 18th birthday. Let's spend these moments at least once as a family without problems. - said Serris.

-With him it's impossible, because of course his opinion must always be negative! - Sean shouted

-Don't raise your voice, Sean! - another Cheuk shouted.

Sarah and Miya obviously had nothing to say, but you could tell by their faces that they were terrified.

-"Don't raise your voice, Sean" blah blah blah.. as I can remember... You keep promising change, and all I see is it's even worse!

-You also promised me that your routine will be even better, and it's getting worse!..

-Since when are you looking at my life as a dancer!? It never bothered you, you never even asked how it was in class, because the only thing we talked about was your fucking pharmacy! - Sean finally said, then walked away from the table and ran to his room.

Everyone else was nervous and quite stressed out. At that point, I'd like to talk to Sean, but seeing his nerves, I decided to hold back.

Sean, I hope everything will be alright.

what if I wasn't here?
