章節 4: Chapter 4: A nightmare
Leah's POV
Monday arrived , I left school, it was more or less 3:30 in the afternoon, I was coming home from school, I opened the door of my house, George was behind me.
I came out of the entrance of my house and my dad was leaning on the furniture reading a display.
_" Hello Dad"
_ "My girl, how have you been?"
_ "Everything is fine, mom will be surprised when she arrives and sees you"
_ "George, how are you!"
George made a face that neither my dad nor I could understand.
_ "I don't know you" George said and went to his room.
_ "He's still upset with you, really, he still doesn't understand the fact that you always go out for our good."
George was out of touch with my father, but I looked at my father as my greatest example in the fact that he made a great effort to make his family live better. But George was upset that my father had no time for us or my mother.
_ "Daughter, look what I brought you" said my father
_ "You brought me the brooch!"
_" !Thanks Dad!"
My dad opened a bag that he had in his hand and showed me the brooch, it was beautiful, it had the silhouette of a golden rose and inside the rose there was a beautiful synthetic pearl, the rose was synthetic too, but for me it was as valuable as if it were real gold. I opened the pin of the brooch and put it in the neck of my dress.
_ "It's beautiful" thank you, dad
_" You are welcome, daughter"
_ "Where are my brothers"
_ "Caleb is sleeping and the others are playing in the yard"
I went out to the yard of my house and my little brothers were playing hide and seek.
Then I saw Isaac's foot, sticking out of the hiding place where he was (he was behind a tree) "..
_ "Isaac?"
_ "Shhh, don't you see that I'm hiding"
_ "Sorry, who's looking for us?"
_ "Mary"
I played hide and seek with my little brothers, remembering the times when I, Dana, George and George's best friend (Cole) who had recently moved from here played games. He and George were very close, practically since they were little, but he went to live in Georgia.
I ran with my little brothers, I threw myself on the floor with them and ran with them too until I got a little tired.
_ "Let's play one more time" Mary told me
_ "Now I'm tired, take a bath for dinner because mom is coming in a few hours"
My little brothers bathed and changed their clothes just like me. When I changed I left the brooch on the mirror in my room, I fed Caleb, George did not leave his room in all those hours.
My mother arrived tired from work, hugged my father and stayed crying for a few minutes, my father kissed her forehead and she went to bathe and change to eat.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
We were all sitting at the table eating a dinner that I had prepared myself.
_ "How did the disputes go?"
_ "Everything went well, I'm a bit hurt but that's part of all this"
_ "Where is George?"
_ "He's locked in his room" I said
_ "Tell him that I told him to come"
I knocked on the door of his room and he left immediately, his face did not look the same, in my opinion he was not the same George, he was hidden inside himself and in his face you could see that the bitterness consumed him. He sat at the table silently, his face looked very serious.
_ "What are you looking for me for?" Said George
_ "I just want to know how you are, I'm your mother and I haven't seen you all day."
_ "Sit down, I have something important to tell you"
_ "What is it?" I said
_ "I'm going on Thursday with your father to another dispute"
_" What?!" George said
_ "... What was missing" said George and stood up from the table
_ "Now they will both disappear ... Incredible!"
_ "George, George, listen to me, George!" My mother yelled and he went to his room
_ "This child is worrying me, lately he is very rebellious." Said my frustrated mother
Bedtime came, my parents went to their room, as did my little brothers. Hours passed and I tried to put Caleb to sleep, who always fell asleep at 2:00 am.
Then those strange sounds that came from the ground floor of the house were heard again.
I went down the stairs stealthily, when I came down it was George, dressed in a strange way, when I looked closely, I saw that he was putting a gun in his backpack! I began to suspect various things about him until I came to a conclusion.
_ "George!" When I said his name George turned around and froze.
_ "You ... You ... are ... a ... Blackjack?" I said crying
_ "Explain to me why you chose this life for you, get out of there, you can't do this to my mother, my father, me and your brothers!" I said crying
_ "I can't do anything anymore, I'll never be able to get out of the bargain" said my brother
_ "I took an oath, if I leave the gang they will kill me."
_ "Please ... Don't tell my parents anything ... I'll do it myself."
_ "What trouble have you gotten yourself into?"
I started to cry, the tears kept falling from my eyes, my brother was getting us all in trouble and he couldn't say or do anything.
I ran into my room and cried all night until I fell asleep. The next day, I thought it was a nightmare and that maybe none of this had happened.
