My dad takes a couple seconds to reply, but after a while he answers.
"I'm looking for the shovel" he says breathing in and out as if he was trying to calm himself.
In a weird anxious frenzy, he keeps talking… well… more like vomiting word after word. "We only have one, so you'll need to use the pickaxe" .
He's answer only makes me more confuse than before "why do we need those tools?"
"To dig a hole of course! I know who's his dad so we can deceive him when he comes asking for his son! Don't worry! I'll deal with the aftermath! You can relax and forget about the murder!" he says while smiling and sweating, he looks close to a breakdown.
"ah" I say with a stoic face. I finally understand, he thinks I killed Nick… shouldn't he be calling the police instead of helping me to get away with murder? I didn't kill him but… I mean, if that were the case, I should be held responsible for my actions.
"Dad, he's not dead. I found him in the forest and brought him here since it was closer than his house" I explained, I'm not lying, I did find him in the forest and I did bring him here since taking him to the mansion he lives is way too far for me to drag him there.
"Ooooooh!" My dad exclaims relieve "Uuuufffff! For a moment I thought… never mind… so… you found him naked and bloody?" he asks and I nod.
"Ok! I… I don't think I can carry this giant to the guest room" he laughed loudly and that made me smile faintly.
Well, give me a moment I'll bring some… spare clothes that I hope will fit him and we'll drag him to the living room…" he stops talking and looks towards the couch "…I don't think he's going to fit in the couch… well, I guess sleeping in our living room floor is better than sleeping outside naked" he shrugs his shoulders and asks me to wait
While he goes to find clothes for him, I stare at Nick. He must be really tired if he hasn't wake up after this whole mess.
"We should kill him. If we kill him now, they will think it was just an accident" Blacky tries to convince me again, but I ignore him.
After a couple minutes my dad comes back with basketball shorts, my dad is tall so obviously he's clothes are for tall people but even then, I doubt they will fit Nick.
"Allie, go inside for a moment, I will…. Ummm… turn him over and I don't want you to see his… you know" my dad says and I nod, I'm already traumatized by his butt, I don't need any more nightmare fuel.
I step inside the house and close the door, waiting for my dad to tell me when he's ready.
"Allie? All good, he's a little tight but at least he's not naked, come here and help me drag him to our living room" my dad says while holding his laughter.
I walk out, ready to drag Nick again, my dad is trembling. I know he's barely holding his laughter, but I don't understand what's so funny about this situation.
"Why are you laughing?" I ask curiously.
"How can I not? This is hella funny!" I think he can't longer hold it because he starts laughing out loud "You go out for a walk and come back with a naked dude! I knew some day you were going to bring a guy home but I never thought it was going to be like this!" he keeps laughing.
I still fail in finding what's so funny but if he's happy then it's all good. I just want to take a shower and forget Nick exists.
We finally put him next to our couch and my dad looks worried now, how is he able to show so much emotion in barely 10 minutes? That's a really cool ability.
"Allie… sleep with the door lock, alright?" he says looking at me and I nod. I think I understand why he's worried but I have Blacky, if Nick tries to go further than yesterday and I will not stop my friend this time. I already saved him once, I'm not planning on doing that a second time.
I walk to my room, take a shower and finally fall sleep. I wake up at the lovably annoying sound of birds chirping.
I take my pillow from behind my head and cover my face with it, groaning annoyed. It's Sunday, I want to sleep longer but another annoying 'bird' doesn't want me to sleep longer.
"Allie, you have to wake up! Allie!" the 'bird' says.
I turn away from the shadowy bird and cover myself with my blanket "Allie! Just because it's Sunday doesn't mean you can sleep all day!" a shadowy hand takes my blanket away and I have to sit up in my bed.
"Blacky… I dragged a meat mountain all the way home yesterday, can you let me sleep?" I say while deadpanning at him.
"No." that was his cold response and I lazily got out of bed. I don't understand why Blacky is so obsessed with waking me up but I learned the hard way to listen to him when he wants me to wake up.
Last time I didn't listen I think I was 12, he picked me up and made me float up to the ceiling, it was fun but also scary. Scary because he didn't let me go down until I almost peed myself. He didn't want to let me go to the bathroom.
I do my business in the bathroom and finally go walking towards the kitchen, the kitchen is next to the living room so I peak just to make sure Nick is still there and surprisingly, he is. Still out like a light.
I go inside the kitchen and my dad has breakfast ready. Sundays are apparently his days-off so we plan to watch movies today. Being lazy and staying inside watching movies is the best plan ever.
I finish my food and wash my dishes. "What are we going to do with Nick?" I ask curiously.
My dad looks at me and says surprise "You know him?"
"I met him at the party yesterday" I explain and my dad nods.
"Well, I'm going to call his dad and he can come pick him up, so we don't have to worry about him" he laughs lightly "I would kill to know what the hell happened to him to end up like that!"
I sigh, trust me dad, you don't want to know. It was one hell of a bizarre experience.
We keep talking… well, like always he talks and I listen. He tells me about his day and explain me his work in the factory. He looks so happy with this new place, I'm happy for him. After around 30 minutes into our chat, his phone starts ringing.
"Hello? Frank speaking" he starts saying, he keeps talking but I don't want to eavesdrop so I just stop paying attention all together.
"Allie" he says after hanging up and I look at him "…I need to go to the factory, something came up…" he gulps and looks worried, why is he worry?
"I… I should tell them I'm not available" he says weakly.
"Why?" I ask curiously, I don't understand what's wrong.
"I can't leave you alone with a stranger!" he says loudly.
"Dad, I'm going to be alright, call his dad and he can take him" I explain but he still looks unconvince "They need you, I'll be ok" I say lastly and he nods.
"If anything happens call me! I'll come back as soon as I can!" he says while getting inside the car.
