“So, how do you like your new home?” Lisa said as we walked down the sidewalk. “Well…It’s…DIFFERENT! I had to leave Mom and...and...” I paused because Lisa was hugging me. “Hey, I know things were hard but what I don’t get is what happened to your mom?” she said. “Well, what happened was that mom...She died,” I said, crying. “I don’t mean to be rude but how did she die,” she said. “Mom had to go to work, and it was raining, and she crashed,” I said, trying to be strong. We were quiet on the way back. We stepped inside to find that Dad had slapped Alex. “Alex are you ok?” I said walking across to him. “Why?” I said to Dad.. Alex and I went to our rooms. That night was the worst. I woke up from the roar of the thunder. I got out of my room, and I saw that the light in Alex's room was on. I knocked the door, and Alex opened the door and said, “Hey, What do want?” the tone of his voice was sad. “Can I talk to you, brother?” I asked. “About tonight right?” he asked about letting me in. “Yeah, so...” Alex interrupted, “If this is about Dad, I will tell you.” Alex told me everything that night and I think he felt better because in the morning he apologized to Lisa and Dad. Things were back to normal. “May, your brother started it!” “Dad we are your kids!” I yelled.

“So yeah, Mom, things are going to be fine,” I said getting up looking at mom’s grave. “I know they will,” I said walking away.
