We reached my house and nobody was home, as usual.
"Wow." Seth said staring at my house in what looked like amazment.
"What?" I asked curiously.
"Your house.. it's huge." he told me.
"Really? I think it's just decent to our family." I said.
"How many people do you got living in your house? 20?!" he exaggerated.
I laughed. "No. I have one father, one mother, and a sister... and me of course." I told him.
"That's it?" he asked me.
"Yeah why?"
"Your house is huge." he said with his mouth dropped.
"I get that," I said with a laugh.
"But.. but it's h-" I cut him off.
"I know... how about we get inside and have a drink. What do you want?" I asked him.
"Umm, you have Iced Tea?" he asked me.
"What kind?"
"Green."
"Yeah. One sec lemme get it." I walked to the fridge for drinks and grabbed it instantly. Green Tea is the family's favorite drink so it was right in front.
"Thanks babe," he said with a smile. "Aren't you gonna get some?" he asked me.
"Oh! Yeah I got it, " I said as i jogged to the fridge again. I grabbed the same thing. There was a long scilence of us just glugging our drinks.
"Sooo..." Seth said, breaking the scilence.
"Sooo..." I said mimicking him. We both laughed. But then after a while we got into one of those 'meaningful stares' for a couple minutes but I couldn't take the whole thing seriously so I started laughing after a couple minutes. He smiled.
"I love your laugh," Seth told me. I laughed again. He was so sweet.
"So what do you want to do?" I asked him.
"What do you have to do?" he asked me.
"Well, I have a pool table, an air hockey table, a ping pong table, that football thing, Rock Band 2... umm, that's all the stuff that's inside I think." I listed all the things that popped into my head.
"What are the things you have outside?" he asked.
"I have a trampoline, a pool that starts at 3 feet and goes down to 10, a beach- don't worry it's clean!- boating, canoeing, we can go on the hammock. I can't think of much more," I told him.
"Canoeing sounds fun," he said.
"Okay let's go!" I said as I grabbed his hand and led him to our beach. It was just behind my house. "Okay so here's the canoe.. we need to drag it to the water. The paddles are already in there. I got this end, can you grab the other?" I asked him.
"Oh yeah sure!" he said as he ran to the other side. We picked it up and brought it to the shoreline. I set it up and had him sit on the back. I dragged it into the water and we were off.
"Start paddeling!" I jokingly yelled as I handed him the paddle. "Go go go!" I laughed. He laughed as well. He paddled one way and I paddled the other so we were going in circles. I turned around to face him and we just started talking. Talking about everything. Like, what our favorite color, food, drink, thing about each other.. everything. I liked learning things about him because he was so interesting. After a little bit, we got into some personal stuff. "So, what's so bad about your mom?" I asked him, hoping he'd tell me.
"I-it's nothing.." he said looking down.
"C'mon Seth. It's something.. you can tell me don't worry," I assured him.
"Well, when I was around 5, my real mom ran away. She left the whole family.." he said getting quieter as he said the sentence.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry," I told him.
"Then my dad found a girl and she seemed all fine and dandy, so he married her. For the first couple months of their marrige, she seemed like a wonderful lady, but then she started getting weird.." he said hesitantly.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused and kind of worried.
"Well, she kept yelling at me for no reason, or for such a tiny reason and she took it way out of control. That happened last year. It went on for quite a few months.. Then she started hitting me with her hands. And then, with a belt. Then she hit my sister."
"Wait.. you have a sister?" I asked him, not knowing about it.
"I did..." he said starting to tear up.
"What happened?" I asked really worried.
He started off slow, "Well, my step-mom..." he hesitated,
"she killed her..."
