TEGA

" who was that girl back there?" Henry asked

" oh, her ? I don't know " we stepped out of the arcade and time had passed " aish, I really don't want to go home tonight"

" really? you can stay over at my place"

"I stayed at your place through out last week. I don't want to feel like a nuisance"

" hey , stop that man. you are family.fah- to- the- mily"

I laughed" I think I'll just go home today besides , it's grandma's wake not that he would remember though "

" see you at school tomorrow ?"

" yeah, bud "

when I got home I saw dad home already .

" tega, I have really amazing news for you " dad said smiling" I finally killed one of those beasts. all my years of hardwork finally payed off, I knew you might not believe me so -" dad brought out his phone" I took a picture of it . hold on . uh, where is it ?"

I was angry. so angry. for the fact that he brought up some stupid beast that didn't exist today of all days - on grandma's wake

"you irritate me , do you know that ?"i asked him

"son, I really have it . just a min-"

" is that all you care about?! "I shouted . I couldn't contain my anger anymore" who cares if you are wasting your entire life trying to catch something that doesn't exist ? no one but what I trulydon't understand is why you would bring that up on grandma's wake "

" gra... grandma?"

" grandma must be so proud to have a son like you who forgot her wake but guess what ? I'm not proud to have a father like you. so stop talking to me about your bullshit I couldn't care less about "

I walked up to my room and slammed the door .

mom came out" you forgot grandma's wake ?"

"honey, I must have had alot of things on my mind "

" honey , isn't it time you quit your job. I mean just last month, you forgot tega's birthday too "

" but honey, I actually killed a family of beast . I -"

" I believe you , honey but don't you think your family is important?"

" yeah, I'll quit first thing in the morning"

" so , you going to talk to tega?"

" nah, I don't think he wants to see me today "

I really shouldn't have come home today. I thought .
