THE FATED ONES

~Home Sweet Home~

Chapter 4

~DAMIEN~

After six hours of been on the plane,I finally landed at Chicago's airport.It was already dark when I got back home,and so after taking my dinner, I went straight to bed.

The dull rays of sunlight seeped into my room from my opened curtain ,as the faded sounds of laughter and music could be heard from the distance.

I slipped in and out of consciousness until I heard a loud knock on my door waking me up with a start.

"Rise and shine sleepy head!" I heard the singsong voice of my mother. "freshen up and come downstairs for breakfast" she said again.

"Okay mum,will be down in few minutes" I told her sleepily.

I groggily dragged myself to the bathroom to freshen up, dress up and headed downstairs to the dinning table.

"morning momma,morning papa" I greeted my parents."Morning darling "said my mom." morning " grumbled my dad with a mouth full of sandwich. "Hey big bro" my brother greeted winking at me.Arghhh,the nerve of him. I grabbed a toast of sandwich finishing it with two bites and gulped down a glass of milk at once. "Hey guy"I heard a baritone voice call out. I looked up from my plate to find my best friend Daniel. He has his hands in his jean pocket with a smug smile on his face.

Daniel has been my best friend since we were in kindergarten.Our moms has been best friends our whole lives. They had met each other right when they were still in nursing school.Daniel is the same age as me. He has short dark brown hair that falls just past her shoulder.His deep black and white eyes are always full of life. Even during the time have been abroad we have been inseparable. He has always been a friend to rely on.

" Oooh my God"I exclaimed so happy to see him. "it's been ages since I saw you last,and man you've added a few inches more" I told him jokingly giving him a friendly pat on the back.

"I assumed you would need a company to show you around since you just got back,that was why I invited him over" mom chirped in."And how is Caroline she asked him referring to his mother."she's up and bouncing "he replied in his always jovial self.Daniel had always been the most playful and shyest one among us.

" don't forget son,you're to attend the party today at six"my dad suddenly said out of the blue dragging his feet as he stood up. "which party" I asked him."I forgot to tell you because you came back home quite late yesterday, you are to attend a birthday party along with your dad this evening, that was also one of the reasons I invited your friend over to be your plus one"she said giving me an apologetic look.

"Mom!! you should have told me this earlier" "am so sorry for that son". I turned to my dad trying to make him reason with me but he wasn't even giving me the face." you're to be ready by 5 pm prompt " my dad said with finality heading out of the dinning room. "oh my goodness, what am I going to do" I grumbled to myself."chill man,relax am here for you,remember? "." thanks bruhhh" "i got to your back man" he told me giving me a playful punch.

Arrrgghhh,I have to attend this f**king birthday party of some grumpy old man,and may God help me I hope I don't end up ruining it.

I saw much as f**k hate going to parties,and this was going to be a difficult decision for me.
