Dom's Luna

Chapter 2

Valeria

Been an hour since school dismissed for the day, I have been waiting for my dad to come pick me up like he use to everyday but he is not here yet.

This is so unlike him. He never fails to pick me up.

I wonder what happened.

Is he okay?

I am not even with my phone. I left it at home.

I think I can find my way home. I mean he has been driving me to school and bringing me back. I usually study the road so I can go by myself.

But I haven't tried it before. It has not been long I moved to this place. What if I get lost?

What if dad comes and can't find me?

He will be worried sick.

Oh Valeria what are you going to do?

I am tired and hungry.

I am the only one in school right now. Well Mr Jones, our security man is here too.

I have been waiting for an hour now.

Dad where are you?

"Hey kid"

I get on my feet the minute I heard Mr Jones call out as he approached me.

"S..sir?"

"Why are you still here?" He asked as I fiddle with my finger.

"M..my dad is not here yet"

He scoffed. "What are you, a baby?"

His harsh words hurt me.

"Can't you go home by yourself?" He asked looking at me in an angry way.

"I..can but..."

"Then go on then" he snapped.

I look down my fingers because I am about to tear up.

"My dad will be upset if he comes and can't find me"

He scoffed again. "How old are you?"

I look up at him slightly.

"I turned eighteen days ago"

He murmured my age, sighing frustratedly. I sense him bring out his phone from his pocket.

"Give me your dad's number "

I fiddle with my fingers nervously. Oh no I don't have it off heart.

He looked at me. "What are you waiting for?"

"I....I don't have it off heart sir..."

"What the fu...."

I flinch a bit.

He sighed. "What about your mum's?"

My heart ached. I look down feeling my eyes tearing up.

"I don't have all day kid!"

I shifted a bit where I stood as I look up at him slightly.

"My mum is in heaven"

I don't hear a word from him making me look at him.

He is pressing his phone.

I look back down.

"I don't have time for this. Your dad better be here after I check the classes doors." He said walking pass me.

Sighing, I sit back on the seat. I wipe my eyes as I thought about my mum.

My parents and I use to live happily back then at Chicago.
