What is stopping us?

What we had to witness pt.1

Meera and I have been best friends ever since we were little but my dad and her dad never got along. Meera's family history is very confusing and so is mine. Meera's dad was part of a dangerous gang. And it just so happened that my dad also had something to do with it...

For some reason my dad always hated meeras dad but I never knew why. Because of this hatred our moms friendship had to end. My dad would always convince me to stop being friends with Meera or else he would never want to see my face again. I never really took him seriously because I thought he was playing but after what I saw i knew that he was never joking..

It was January 15 and meera and I were both 13. We had both left our houses without informing anyone, no one knew where we were. Meera and I were both at the park just talking and laughing. We even got ice cream together.

It was getting really late. Meera and I decided to go back to our houses even though we both knew that we were probably gonna get yelled at for leaving without informing them. But we didn't care we only cared that we had a magnificent time together. I always have such a great time when I'm with Meera

I walked Meera to her house and once I saw that she was already inside I left to my house. It was pretty dark so I could barely see where I was walking, but luckily I was able to get there. I  went into my house and saw my mom crying.  This was weird my mom always gets worried when I leave the house but she never starts crying..."Don't worry mom I'm back." "Rahul where have you and meera been?!?" Why was she getting so mad? "Don't worry we're just at the park." "Rahul where is Meera?" Why was she asking for meera and not me? I am so confused right now. "Uhh she's going to her house." What was going on? Why was my mom crying and why was she getting so worried about Meera and not me?

Meera:
"Mom, dad I'm back!" Hmm silence.. that was weird but I didn't really think about it.

I went into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water. I haven't seen my mom nor my dad in the house so I had to go look for them. I was walking around and I stopped at the dining room. *crash* my glass of water fell on the floor.
