I'm sorry! I missed my deadline by a long shot! Well, i hope you enjoy this chapter! I think i kind of exaggerated but it adds to the drama so yeah enjoy!
It is an important chapter and thank you SomethingAboutTheStars and Greysongal97!! Check out SomethingAboutTheStars AMAZING story, Coded With Shades Of Grey! I love the title but the story is even better! READ IT! IT WILL CHANGE YOU LIFE! No, i did not exaggerate.
I just stared at my mom, not being able to absorb in what i just heard. Moonlight illuminated my some of my mom's face, but leaving half of her in darkness. That was how i felt now. I was conscious but sinking into the darkness.
The car's engine made a pleasant steady humming sound as we just sat there, me glaring at my mom. I averted my gaze from her and stared out the window at the brightly lit, neon bank sign that was flashing .
She just shook her head slightly and said it again. I automatically blocked it off, like i always did with bad news, my brain would instantly shut down. i shook my head when she touched my arm.
I would never be able to hear a thing, it had always been like that since my dad died, even when i want to face it, my brain says otherwise.
I saw her pale lips moving from the corner of my eye. Dee, please listen.' Her voice was pleading as she tugged gently on my arm.I turned to look at her and for one scary moment i opened up, ready to hear the bad news. I nodded to let her know that i was listening.
She took a deep breath and quickly in one go she said it. 'We are broke.' I just blinked at her not sure of what i just heard.
I tried to think of something but my brain failed me i could only croak a feeble
'What?' before covering my face with my hands, my eyes shut tight thinking of the possibilities.
This was bad. My mom kept talking. I tried to shut her out but her words rang through my ears and they would keep ringing through them when i sleep.
'Cam's dad. He took our money, giving me what at that time i thought were good investments and he just ...' Her voice trailed off there and i heard a soft sob that could never have came out of my mouth but my mom's.
'What did he offer?' I asked her softly, my anger showing in my voice. 'What?' She said softly, so soft that her words barely reached me.
'I said ,What did he offer? The investments?' I said louder, coming close to shaking her. 'He offered to sell your dad's apartment, and everything in it promising to me that we would get most of the money' She replied softly. I looked at her tear streaked face and i knew there was more.
When she didn't reply, i said more forcefully than i intended 'What else?' She put her head down and started shaking. I used my hands to make her sit up and put two fingers under her chin and lifted it up so that she would look at me. I looked into her ice blue green eyes and stared at her until she opened her mouth and said a word that i never wanted to hear.
'Piano.'
I was swimming, in this dark pool of emptiness where i could not see anything or feel anything. I could not swim any direction except for down. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move as the darkness overwhelmed me and i plunged down.
I tried to move up but soon enough gave up and went limp. I saw my dad's face with a disappointed look on his kind face, his lips usually curved in a smile now upside down.I tried to say something but i couldn't form words. I had forgotten. I was drowning.
