I didn't realize time passing away. I had no idea for how long tears were endlessly flowing from my eyes. I came to my senses after the third knock on the door.
'Honey are you alright?' said a female voice.
I immediately got up and wiped my tears. I opened the door and saw a tall lady wearing suit. it looked like she just came from and hectic day.
'I saw the dinner still in the fridge. Why didn't you eat it?' 'Uncle John is late again today, Wait! You were crying? Is everything alright?'
'I'm fine,' 'I was playing my video game and maybe my eye sight has gone weak.' She knew I was lying but she forced a smile and went away.
I closed the door and decided that I needed my body back, I needed my life back. For that I needed to know more about this new me. I understood by now that this boy name was Rodrigo. I decided to join the dinner with that lady to know more.
I climbed down the stairs and sat on the table. Soon after that lady came in her night dress and it was clear with her expression that she wasn't expecting me. But I was able to see the happiness on her face.
She sat on the table and started a conversation, 'So how was your day?'
'Fine.'
'Everything good at school?'
'Yeah!' I guessed that she must be Rodrigo's mom. Maybe I should ask something otherwise she will doubt me. But what can I ask?
Suddenly door bell rang and I said without thinking.
'I'll get this, it must be dad.'
After hearing this she immediately stopped eating. I ran happy to come out of an awkward conversation not realizing the mistake I did. I opened the door and saw the same cop. He looked at me with strange look.
'You're still awake?' 'Won't you be late for school tomorrow?' Who was he? How was he related to Rodrigo? Maybe he was his dad so I said, 'No dad I'll be fine.'
I turned toward the table not looking at him. But I saw tension on mom face.
'Are you alight honey?'
'Why?'
'Your dad died in an accident years ago.'
Holy crap! I needed to cover up for the mistake I just did.
'I know mom. It's just...' What should I speak? ' It's just, I was missing him today. I don't know suddenly all the feeling hit me hard.'
'But...'
'I think I need rest,' I didn't wait for her reply and ran back to my room. Close!
'He is missing him John,' I heard mom saying.
'He is a kid everything will me alright,' 'Maybe I could take him out tomorrow.'
'That would be great!'
***
I was lying on my bed. For the first time in history I was not able to sleep. I was feeling devastated. I killed her son. All this guilt was destroying me from inside. My eyes which were tired from crying got heavy so I closed them.
I woke up before the alarm clock. I took a bath and changed into fresh clothes. I needed to find a way to get my original body back. I climbed down the stairs and saw Uncle John.
'We are going out today!'
'But school?' it was the only thought that came up in my mind to escape from here.
'You want to miss a fun trip with your uncle for school. C'mon one day relaxing won't make any difference.'
He pulled me out and started walking. He was happy or was acting to do for me.
'What a good family it is,' I thought.
Uncle John was speaking some jokes and laughing but my mind was only thinking way to get my body back.
Suddenly we passed the church and I saw there was a funeral going on. Wait! It was my funeral going on...
