Chapter 7

William's pov

"Put that stupid cigarettes away William"

"Mom language. Josh can hear you"

My younger sister Amber says as she tries to calm her wailing son.

"And stop yelling l at him, he's not a child mom . Will you've been distracted since we got here what's the problem?"

"I'm fine Amber it's nothing to worry about"

I say putting on a smile that I know is not convincing at all . She looks at me and I understand exactly what that look says 

"How was work today Willy".

My mom asks . I take a long drag from my cigarette then toss it onto the ashtray before I turn to answer my mom.

"It was fine . Just another stressful day ".

"I heard Mr Gerald's daughter started working for you today".

"She's not working for me mom , she's working with me . She lives just opposite ".

"Word has it that you punished her today ".

I'm sure she intended that to be a question but I'm in no mood for this conversation so I'll just ignore it .

"I think you guys should leave . It's getting late and I need to rest".

They don't even budge when I say that 

"You need to rest too mom and look Amber Josh is already sleepy and your husband should be back. You guys should leave" .

It's obvious that they're not pleased at all but they don't have any choice at the moment .

"Yeah I think you're right . We'll leave after all we live just a couple floors away . We'll see you tomorrow Will ".

Amber says and I'm utterly grateful for that 

"Thank you Amber ".

"Sure . Just take care of yourself"...I nod…"come on mom you need to rest ".

Mom gives me a peck on my check as she walks out and doesn't say a word. They both probably noticed that I was too tired to entertain them and left .
