"We haven't got time to discuss thisnow or we'll be late for school, but we will discuss it later. Ipromise. Now let's get ready. We both need showers...."Any concerns and bad thoughts I had were soon a thing of the past as weshowered together, almost getting carried away until we heard hermother call that we would be late if we didn't hurry up. Gettingdressed in a hurry we were giggling like naughty schoolgirls and Ialmost laddered one of my stockings in the rush. A quick cup of coffeeand some. She moaned which her son heard through the phone. When her son asked about it, she told that it was a cockroach. She pushed me away. I got up and went to the kitchen. I saw a honey bottle there. I took it to and went into the living room.Maya mam saw this and angrily signaled me to go to the bedroom. I went to the bedroom and put the honey bottle on the table.Soon, Maya mam came storming in. she started scolding me. I said “sorry, as I have said earlier, I can’t hear you. I can only see those. I dried off and put on my nightgown and got into bed. I could not even think about going down to the kitchen to make something to eat. Just as I laid my head on the pillow and started to think about what an awful thing I had done, my phone rang. I did not even bother to check who was calling. “Yes, John.”“Hey, Mom, how did it go? Mom. Mom, are you crying?”“Can you come to my room, please?” It seemed like I had just finished speaking and my bedroom door opened. I looked up at John with tears. * Roxanne i need to talk to you about something..very important.* he said.. i looked at him worried pulling my hair back * Yes Chris?* * Lets run away together..* my eyes widened * But...your mom...and..my dad...they wouldnt let us* i said not in diiisagreance but not approval...* I know..we can do it at night, they wont know.* I smiled..but it faded shortly...i looked down and thought for a moment. he took my hands and looked into my eyes and said * Roxy...i promise you...i wont let.
