I Can't Believe
It!
One day after school I noticed that
one of my parents wasn't outside my school waiting to pick me up. I
thought they had car problems or that they just wanted me to walk
home because of my laziness. Our house is about two and a half miles
away.
After the long walk home I finally
reached the front door of our house. I then heard people shouting
inside of our house. I thought maybe one of the neighbors had come
over to talk to my parents because we left the T.V. on too loud. But
when I opened the door it wasn't my neighbors at all. It was my
father and mother arguing. I could see the tears in my mother's eyes,
and then she turned and went into the kitchen to be alone. When I
looked at my dad he told me, "It's alright, son, me and your mother
just have to go our separate ways because we don't love each other as
much as we used to." I asked, "What will happen to us?" "I don't
really know!" he said.
About fifteen minutes later I went to
talk to my mom about the argument they had. She looked very depressed
sitting down by the table. I walked up next to her and asked, "Do you
want to talk about the argument you and dad had?" "No, not now," she
replied. So I got up and went into my bedroom and started to cry
because I thought this was all my fault. I felt so depressed I fell
asleep.
When I got up in the morning my
mother didn't even bother to make me any breakfast. She just sat down
on the couch looking very down and depressed. As soon as my father
came down the stairs I asked him, "Can you take me over to school
because mom isn't feeling very good?" "Yes, let's go," he
replied.
After school I ran home as fast as I
could to check on my mom. She had already packed all her belongings
and started to take them out to the car. I couldn't believe she was
actually moving. She told me that I could come and see her whenever I
wanted to, then she gave me her address and kissed me goodbye. I
started to cry because she was leaving us for the first time and I
didn't know what to do.
When my dad came back from work I
told him about mom leaving. When I showed him the address she gave me
tears started pouring from his eyes. Then he gave me a big hug and we
went into the house to pick up the furniture that had been knocked
over in the argument.
Now I see my mother every weekend
after school to check on how she is doing without us. And all of us
are happy in the way we are living.
