"Dear Prudence" Ethan



Day 14, 10:09

I'm locked in my room. I made the bed, something miraculous to me, neat my room under water from the shower an hour and a dress so well that it seems that I prepare to go to church. I can not further delay the time, I have to go out and face my mother.

Last night we do not talk, answered questions of the police policy on her son and locked herself in her bedroom. But I know it's in the kitchen, talking to Nora. If she has been down and talk to her, why I'm such a coward?

Sighing, I opened my bedroom door and down stairs slowly, peering into the kitchen pretending peace.

Nora is sitting, chopping his hands toast without intending to eat it. His cheeks are flushed, with a small smile on his face, probably caused by the thoughts you are having. I am increasingly convinced that Adriana was right and there is some guy in the middle. I'm dying of curiosity to know who it is.

"Good morning .- saludo, ignorando a Mary que se encuentra junto a la nevera.

Me acerco a Nora y le doy un beso en la mejilla antes de dirigirme hacia la cafetera. Necesito un buen tazón de café.

-Buenos días.- responde ella, intentando volver a la realidad.- Hay tostadas. He hecho unas veinte.

-¿Puedo preguntar por qué?-me intereso, esbozando una sonrisa divertida al ver la fuente.

-Se me fue la cabeza mientras me hacía el desayuno.- ríe, volviendo a trocear su trozo de pan.

Sonriente, me sirvo un denso café en una taza y cojo una de las rebanadas. Mi madre continúa ahí de pie, mirándome a la espera de que comience a dirigirle la palabra. Pero, ¿qué can I say? I leave the words. There is so much blame that can not think of a phrase that can sum it all up. Because if I spend more than I know that anger is going to empower me and then not answer for my actions.

Only one thing can be finished.

Dame medicines. For me and all those infected. End the damn virus .- ordered him without looking up, making Nora forget your food.

-Ethan ... - starts, but stops before he can say anything to turn my anger.

"You were about to kill me, kill your daughter, many kids more. We are people who are in this situation for your damn game .- he replied, slowly raising his eyes .- "Shall I cease to exist? Heal, let us go back to being normal people.

"Not in my hands. The lab is not mine .- excuse, and without such severity that has characterized it throughout its life.

The atmosphere there is a pending issue, floating above us and no one dares to take it out, Daniel. Where? What was done? Do you just give it up for lost? I'm not prepared to say.

.- whisper "Mom closed her eyes and clenched fists .- You have no other. Do it. And do it now. Do not you realize that this is over?

Nora keeps their eyes on me and it intermittently, as if it were a tennis match and tried to follow the path of the ball. But I am very aware that it intends to intervene unless necessary.

-Yo ...

- is over! - Nora suddenly jumps without understanding the reason for their anger.

rose from his seat and placed in front of Mary painted with the decision in his gray eyes. Deal with it is costing much more than me, but something that is motivating to break everything to get the cure for our disease.

-Nora, the warn .- quiet, afraid for a moment the possibility that she is losing control.

- No ask me to calm down! "he shouts before focusing again on our mother .- Are you and your group of friends stupid to blame for this situation! Why on earth will have to pay others for your mistakes?! A boy died, Mom! A boy who was about parents, friends, a family that now you will have to mourn without being able to ever know what happened! - Take a breath a second, turning away and beginning to walk through the kitchen. Neither we dare to open her mouth as she meditates .- Dad has already paid for what he did. You have the possibility to give up, give us cures and forget everything. Is in your hands that the killings not follow, do not leave us orphans. You can fix your mistakes. If you want.

Oh, no. I know what you are using. I see it in their eyes, emotional blackmail. Tears about to spring up and down his cheeks, his face expressed pain. How many times will staff Adriana against me? Hundreds ... and I've always fallen. There is no way to escape. I have no very clear is that it works with the girls.

The fact that the bruises accentuate his frail and children significantly increases their chances of winning. I'm about to ask forgiveness, I can not see well.

"My child ... - Mary whispers, raising her hand to touch her cheek.

Nora's subconscious betrays for a moment, it makes a slight movement of wanting to depart, but remains in place and continues his role flawlessly.

"Please, Mom .- insists in a voice almost inaudible.

If I have not gotten in months with insistence she will get in two minutes with a bit of sentimentality I retire, I give my sister the command of the whole thing and I dedicate it to rest.

"I'll see what I can do with insecurity yields .- .- No promises.

.- "So I just decided, smiled while turning to return next to the counter and grab your bag .- I have to go to see Lydia.

- you come to eat? "I wonder, reacting before it goes out the door.

"If your dear friend does not kill me before I'll stay to eat with it on the floor of Dylan. In the afternoon I left, so I get home around eight.

I can see how Mary is shocked by the plan of his daughter, but one look is enough to silence me. -Have fun

.- I said, a smile .- But, with whom Lydia salts if you have to continue monitoring? Nora

remains silent a few seconds, watching, before arching an eyebrow and replicate.

"I have more friends, you know? Anyway, until then .- is fired before I could ask more questions.

Again the strange behavior. Promising

give you a few more days to start investigating what is going on, give it a big bite of my toast, feeling good by allowing Nora to have a normal day for the first time in his life. It's time to start really enjoy.

After one look triumphant Mary, I go back to my room with breakfast in hand. I have to start planning my day, trying to appear normal so as not to alert the police, which goes somewhat disturbed by my version of events.

Whatever you decide to do, I have to put in my plans to Lydia. Although the worst party has already been transformed continue unchecked and need help. And a lot of practice to have Taylor in case I will lose objectivity when you see how bad the girl passes. And Dylan ... well, him and I asked him too. There will also force you to spend an afternoon locked up at home watching it and enduring the anxiety of his friend.

Although ... maybe the day is not so bad. Pick up my mobile bedside and beginning to write a message to Scott. Still do not know what he intends to do, only yesterday I saw him.

After asking his plans, open the agenda and frame the first issue, throwing on the bed waiting for Adriana to respond.

- Never let me sleep? "She says sleepily but with a touch of humor.

Smiling to hear her speak, I sink in the pillows. And miss.

"Unless it is me, not .- replied, making her laugh the other side of the line .- How are you, sweetheart?

"Tired, but fine. The hand just annoys me since I saw the doctors recognized .- .- You? Have you spoken to your mother?

"Yes, although it was Nora who has managed to get a promise. Is giving, we are becoming closer to drugs .- ad, knowing that information is going to make you happy.

- Really? - Murmurs low believe it unfinished.
-Va
quite seriously. And I want you to celebrate, but may not be this afternoon.

- What? Why?

He notes that you just wake up .- I get with it as usual .- Lydia is in full swing, it would be unfair to leave Taylor alone.

"So we expect a fun day at the home of Dylan. Is he going to do what?

I do not know, I guess I will flee to God knows where. So in what may be not be so bad ... Think about it, Taylor will be with Lydia and therefore we the rest of the house for us .- I explain slowly so that you can assimilate .- Nora has been with I know not whom.

- Do you have an appointment?

"Oh, God. Do you still think it's a boy? - I'm interested, wanting to finish the unknown is a damn time. Adriana

laughs heartily, I can almost imagine her stretching in her big bed.

"Sure. He has that twinkle in his eye that betrays. And today has been without telling you who and taking her best friend stuck at home. Is not it rather obvious?

"Damn. But who the hell is? Evansville is not so great.

"I guess we'll know your time. I take a shower, in half an hour I'll be home for Dylan .- decide.

"Hurry, I can not wait .- .- I want to ask.

"And I you, so far .- says goodbye before hanging up. Well

. I think this is a good way to start the day. What bothers me is that just started, you can end up very bad ending. Scott
