Teen disasters

Chapter 11

   First Monday of the holiday and we have no idea what to do. Alex left on Saturday and arrived today at 8 A.M. Yes, 8 A.M. ON HOLIDAY!

"Eli" he calls me and I look at him, we are having lunch at the breakfast bar. "You don't have a country house?"

   That makes me think ... we have a country house, we could go and clear ourselves of everything for a while. How had I not noticed before?

"Yes and I don't know" he exclaims.

"Voice aloud?" I ask what he nods to ... hell, I really have to be careful what I think. "Now I ask mom".

   I grab the keys and go upstairs. When I enter, the four of them are sitting around the table.

"Mommy and Daddy" I call them lengthening the "i" to look ... cute? I don't know, probably.

"What do you want daughter?" Dad asks and I look at him badly.

"Not a hello? What do you want directly? Maybe I didn't come to ask for anything" I speak offended as I roll my eyes.

"What's up daughter?" Mom asks now.

"Can we go with Alex to the country house? More than anything to clear it up and that, because of everything about the brother who still obviously feels bad".

   They look at each other with pitying faces.

"Of course you can go" Mom speaks. "Now I call Roberto, the one who takes care of the house, so that he can go to his house and you can go from ... today you can go".

"Seriously?"

"Yes daughter, and stay as long as you want. We know he needs help and he's like our son Alex".

"Thanks Dad".

"Ajam" my mom cleared her throat.

"And thank you beautiful mom of life and the universe".

"That's it, that's it, that's a lot".

   He ran down the stairs and burst into the apartment, causing Alex a fright that made him drop the glass from his hand (thank goodness it was just plastic because otherwise he was going to kill him).

"Do you want to go to the country?" I ask him and he spreads his smile all over his face.

"Are you really telling me?" he nods and he comes to pick me up. "Thank you thank you thank you".

"Then say thank you to my parents, not to me".

"It's the same" we laugh. "And ... when can we go?"

"Today we can, Mom told me".

"Then I have to go home to prepare things".

"Good, but wait for me".

"I'm coming back now," he says as he closes the door.

"Good!" I scream for him to hear me.

   I start organizing my bag, I put everything I think I might need. Likewise there I have some clothes and also clothes from mom and dad, dad's can fit Alex.

"I came back" I hear him say from the dining room.

"I'm in the room" I scream as I listen to the footsteps that means it's coming. "Where did you go?" I ask him when he is by my side.

"To thank your parents".

"Oh so cute, they adore you, you know?"

"I know, I produce that effect on people" when I finish saying that, he deserves to be hit with a cushion and that's exactly what I do. "Good at you only sometimes".

   After finishing organizing everything for me, we went upstairs to greet my parents and brothers, Alex thanks them a thousand times more and we go to his house.

"They are not" I say referring to their parents.

"Now I call you".

   We organize his purse and he drops it in the car next to mine. Dial on your phone and start calling.

"Hello? Mom ... yes, yes ... we're going with Eli to the country house ... well ... yes, mom ... thank you ... well, now I tell her" laugh. "Well, well ... yes, I heard you ... bye".

"Yes mom" I make fun of him.

"He said let's get money from here and tell you that if I don't take care of you, call them".

"Yes sir. And you know that I'm going to do it".

"I hate you".

"You love me".

"Only sometimes".

"As you say".

   We put everything in the car and it is already 7:48 P.M.

"Let's go?"

"Come on, I love that house Eli".

"Me too, and Lucero is still there".

"Oh my god, I remember Lucero".

   Lucero has been my horse since I was little, I love him and he has always been with me.

"Alex" I call him when we are almost reaching the route.

"What happens?"

"Later there is a service station, let's buy chocolate".

"Well, Miss Chocolate".

"Thank you".

   I haven't been to that house for many years, we don't go with my parents in general. They usually have to work and they never give both of them vacations at the same time to coincide, so we no longer do many things as a family. The twins I think they were only once and should not even remember, one day we will all come together, I hope, like in the old days.
