10:15pm. Have to be in camp by 11:30pm latest and travel time is 45mins at least. Just one more minute. I'll relax abit more with a cold drink and MP3s then I'll be good. 10:40pm. "WHERE DID THE TIME GO TO?! damndamndamn.." Pulled on jean, put on shirt, grabbed my bag, hurried out of room. Stopped outside in the living room to get a pair of socks ... and the entire family unit is laid back watching Channel 5 and sharing Coke and chips. A Jackie Chan comedy I think. Not a care in the world. Well, there is work/school on Monday morning.. but who cares? Stayed up a couple hours more they'll just feel a wee bit tired the next day. Sleep at 2am to catch the midnight special? No prob. Easy. And I'm booking in. But mom spotted me, her head tilted all the way right from her sofa seat in front of the TV to catch my eye. "My son, booking in ah?" "*grumbles* Yeah." "God bless you and, be safe ok?" Anybody else said those words and I'd think that its the most insincere and forced-sounding thing to come out from a person's mouth. "Oh. Hi. Whasyourname again? I forgot. How are things these days?"Maybe its the weird way she phrases her ideas, but then English is not my mom's main language of communication. From everything else non-verbal, I know for sure she's earnest. I sniffed abit and felt a lump in the throat, but I tried to look gruff and didn't say much, grunting "UH." before closing the heavy door behind me with a 'click'. |
