troy was heading home absorbed in his thoughts as he walked quickly ... the breeze of the air caressed his face making him shiver from the cold wind ... but even so that had not been able to calm him, that afternoon his aunt May He told him to come home early, he had something important to tell him.
troy lately noticed something strange about his aunt ... it seems that he wanted to say something to her but he always kept quiet and was silent, he was beginning to worry a lot.
I arrive at the building meeting the concierge at the entrance, I greet him as he takes out the keys and begins to climb the stairs.
I get to the door ... he sighed heavily and inserted the key through the lock until it opened.
"Aunt clare!" She shouted entering, hanging her coat and keys on the rack, "I'm here!" She approached the kitchen, finding clare on her back, she quickly approached her to give her a hug from behind.
-Hi honey, how was it? -He asked, wiping her hands on the small tablecloth and returning the hug affectionately
-Not bad, today the math teacher took a pop quiz, everyone was upset because he didn't warn them ... - he said with a smile - but I appreciate that it was easy ... I was lucky to get a 10
-I'm very happy, darling ... but hey, you're going to take a bath, you smell awful - the only funny snort ... it didn't smell so bad .. or did it?
—Ok ... mm aunt ?? - * ok you didn't have to tell me something * —you didn't have to tell me something ... I mean that's what you called me right?
His aunt was silent for a moment, troy noticed that this happened to his aunt again ... her eyes were turning off and it was as if she could not transmit words, but she smiled a little to be unconcerned she knew what she was referring to but ..not yet.
-ohh ... yes, but first go do what I told you honey, guess what, I made spaghetti with meatloaf, I know you like them well, that's what you used to say when you were a child— he ruffled his hair receiving a complaint from him
-Okay-I'm a little suspicious-now I'm going to shower, change and go downstairs so I can have dinner together-I had to go upstairs but May's voice stopped him
-Don't worry honey, I already had dinner tenprano-I point to the plate on the table
-ohh .... ok I don't delay ...
troy ran up the stairs, entered his room and got into the shower quickly because he was curious what his aunt would say, * is it a good or bad thing? * He thought, when he came out of the bathroom he decided to put on something comfortable ... He put on gray boxer shorts, chose a green short-sleeved shirt, and loose fitting pants ... being cinsero the sweater was a bit too big on the green in the mirror ...
troy as he went down the stairs, something called if something caught his attention ... when he went down did he find a travel suitcase? * What the hell!? * He thought ... would his aunt travel? That idea crossed his mind as he got to the dining room but immediately disappeared ... it did not take much attention because he thought that if his aunt had to say something as important as that a long time ago she would have told him so he simply went down to the dining room and he sat looking at the spaghetti plate ... it didn't take long for his aunt to arrive like always showing a smile that was no longer so cheerful ...
troy savored the spahguetti while May looked worried ...
-How is troy? -
—It's delicious..I haven't eaten this in a long time, you're the best aunt—
—Yes… you have a little… —I point to the part stained by the tomato sauce
—Oohh .. I'm clumsy hahha — she said while cleaning herself with a napkin
"Well ... troy I have to ... tell you something ...
-Tell me aunt-troy was savoring his dinner while clare was getting ready to say "that's so important"
"They called me to offer me a job that would benefit us a lot." Was that what your aunt was so worried about?
-That's amazing aunt !!
-This was what was difficult for me to tell you -he lets out a big sigh -the work is not here ...-
-What ?? but aunt ...
-troy... I'm going to Italy-
No no no again I did not want to lose someone else ... well I would not totally lose her, he would just go on a trip but he would still be alone and he did not want that ...
The brunette had stopped eating for a long time ... the only thing he thought about was the idea that his aunt would leave and leave him alone ... he realized that his eyes were getting wet and he could not convey words.
"B-but ... b-why didn't you tell me before?" Those words drowned in his throat and they barely managed to save themselves emitting a saddening sound.
-I know you're sad but I didn't know how to tell you ... I knew it would shock you and ... and - May's words were also cut off - believe me troy tried to tell you for days but couldn't ...-
troy nodded sadly ... it was impossible for him to surround his aunt with a strong hug that she corresponded ... he had several doubts about it but he preferred to shut up in order to hug her ...
"Aunt and how will I pay everything if you are not there, I say ...
-Don't worry troy prepare everything ... pay the rent in advance and I'll leave you money for your food-
-I-okay-said troy trying not to break his voice-and when are you leaving?
-Tomorrow morning ...- that surprised troy, but he didn't say anything ... the last thing he wanted to do was fight.
troy ate quietly ... they both talked about a lot of things ... they wanted to take advantage of every moment but you could see troy sadness in his eyes ... that shine that always accompanied those beautiful honey-colored eyes were missing ...
When troy finished eating his aunt told him that they should go to sleep now. His flight was leaving early tomorrow.
but before going to sleep troy had called his best friends Ned and MJ to tell them that if they could be at the airport tomorrow and they told him that they would be waiting for them early tomorrow.
(....)
troy threw himself on his bed tired ... the only thing he wanted was to fall asleep soon ... little by little his were closing, entering a deep sleep.
(...)
The strong breeze from the air hit the window ... little by little he opened his eyes ... and he remembered what day it was.
-Demons ... my aunt is leaving today-bufo
He got up and stretched to lose sleep faster ... he wanted to get dressed quickly so he simply put on some jeans and a white polo shirt, but when he saw that it was cold he decided to take out a coat and his scarf ... May was waiting for him downstairs with breakfast.
They finished breakfast early, silence was present, troy only thought about when his aunt would leave ... the same happened with May.
(...)
They both walked calmly ... even though it was not long before their flight left, they didn't want to rush ... they didn't take long to arrive, Ned and MJ were waiting for them at the airport.
It was difficult for them to say goodbye so troy just hugged his aunt tightly ... as if he didn't want to let her go ... but he had to ... May disposed of Need and MJ told him that they would miss and take care of himself .. Peter had his head down he didn't know what to do until May spoke.
-Don't worry troy I'll call you when I'm in Italy-
-alright- * Italy .... *
This did not reassure troy ... clare gave Peter one last kiss and hug
-Take good care of yourself, dear-
"Like you ..."
That said, clare is lost in the crowd ... troy lets out a heavy sigh turning to his friends
—Quiet troy will be fine ... also this will help the two of them — said MJ
"Hey!" What do you think if to cheer up tomorrow we go downtown — he smiled happily
How timely is Ned right? The only thing Ned gets from MJ is a look of: "Can't you see I'm sad? Asshole.
troy was not very well so he simply says:
—I don't know ... I'm a bit tired, and the teachers will surely leave us a lot of homework — and it was true because tomorrow begins a new week of high school.
"It will be fun apart from the fact that you better get distracted porfiii !!" he said with puppy eyes that made troy get a small smile
"troy we understand how difficult it is for you to leave May but you must not let that depress you, you must be strong ... for her," he said putting his hand in a supportive way.
troy knew that the intention of his friends was good, so to not worry them more he says:
"Okay, you win," he said with a small smile.
Ned and MJ smiled
"How about tomorrow after school?" Ned asks
"Okay, but we're back early," she said to end the conversation.
The 3 friends say goodbye ready to go home, troy leaves tired despite the fact that the night before she managed to match the dream she had not stopped thinking that clare would leave ... luckily it was Sunday and she could rest, when she arrived I felt home ... empty? Or was it just loneliness? he was used to hearing his aunt's voice tell him "you're finally here darling" or "how was your day?" but he knew that it would take a long time for him to hear those relaxing words from his aunt again.
troy quickly went to his room to take a shower to relax ... after that he came out with a towel around his waist and with another drying his hair, he put on iron-man pajamas and yellow stockings to go to your bed and rest.
"The same house but alone," he said in a whisper and then fell asleep ...
