Edward'smother:" Edward where are you ?" His mother shouted again , but this time Edward went down the stairs and went to the kitchen.

Edward:"Allright I am here , what did you cook mommy." Edward asked his mother .

Edwardm mother :"you know the usual , chicken breast with some rice ".

Edward sat next to his mother and was eating, suddenly a noise came from the front door. Both of them got up .

something from the cornerstore , don't worry I tell him that you asleep "

Edward " but what about you mom , I can't let with him all alon again "

Edward's mother:" don't worry about me just g..." .The voice of Edward's father heard all over the house , deep and filled with anger .

Edward's father :" where I am in a cemetery where on he'll is my family "

Edward's mother : " GO NOW " . Edward's mother silently yelled at Edward as he rushed in his room ,going up the stairs. He was terrified from the idea what might happen to his mother afterwards that he was starting to feel dizzy and sweating.

Edward's father "Hey Maria where is Ed " Edward's father asked .

Edward's mother " He went for sleep one hour ago , what's your deal? " She ironically asked her husband while seeing him , a average height guy with dirty clothes and untreated hair and skin . he was smelling beer from the top to the bottom.

Edward's father " Is there a problem because I wanna see my son Maria . we haven't talk for

days and I want to see him." He answered with a weirdly calm voice to Maria.

Maria was trying to thing an excuse for stopping him from going to Edward's room . see came up with a quick idea Almont immediately after hearing Edward running outside . He was jumped from the balcony while his parents were chatting.

Edward's mother said :" he has a test tomorrow so please don't bother him , he was studying

all day long . "

She was stressed to see his reaction to the quick excuse she came up with .

Edward's father: " OK , whatever I don't give a shit. " he replied to his wife's answer.

meanwhile Edward went to the store to buy snacks and drinks to relax for the night . When he finished choosing what to buy , he went to the old man who was the cashier .

Old man: " hello young man , how you doing ? " the old man asked happily Edward, who replied .

Edward " I fine sir what about you ? Edward also replied with a happy and respectful tone

Old man :" I am doing fine as well my dear boy , so this is your thing I guess, let me xcan them "

while scanning the stopping, the old man saw stress to Edward and he wanted to see what's was going on .

old man : " hey boy what's up you don't seem very well , is everything wrong " Edward immediately replied:" no no everything is OK don't worry nothing is up with me ."

the old man knew that Edward was acting suspicious but he didn't want to make him uncomfortable

Old man :" here are your snacks young man , it 's 5 dollars "

Edward gave the old man the money and he was heading outside the store . As he got close to the door , the old man decided to ask one more time Edward for what was happening to him .

Old man : " hey boy , is anything you desire to say to me , you know something you want to spring out of your chest? " Edward wanted so desperately to say what is happening to his house every single day but he refused to expose his family an replied to old man once again

" no sir nothing is wrong, everything is fine. Don't worry sometimes I am enslaved in my tiny little world , I mean everyone is "

Old man :" alright young man , have a great night ". After that Edward went out from the store and sat on pedestrian street as always. He was enjoying his snacks while listening to music but when he was about to switch to an another song he heard screams from his corner and without a second idea he rushed to his house to see if his mother was alright.
