1 Chapter 1. Tyler

It was 6 am, I had just got home from the new year's party my sister kiara threw at dad's apartment, since he left town and won't be back until a few days after new year's. He was tired and dizzy from the drinks he had had, he couldn't keep his balance and I left the apartment alone so that my sister wouldn't have her help him clean up after the party and I had to call a taxi from my cell phone. Luckily, he left me at the door of my house, since the others usually leave me on the corner to save gas by not having to go around the whole block, he surely realized the state I was in. I got out of the taxi and opened the door of my house as best I could, I had to open it with one hand, since the other was used to hold on to the wall and not lose my balance, I tried not to make too much noise.

When I was finally able to open the door, I pushed it to get through, but it hit the wall making a horrible noise, I tried to stop it, but my vision was blurry, everything was moving around and I only tripped over a ceramic pot that It was on one side of the garden. I fell on top of it causing it to break and spreading the earth all over the garden, I tried to stand up but I couldn't and I fell again where the pieces of the broken pot were now. After a while I got it, I was able to keep my balance again and now the most difficult thing, I had to close the door that had been left open from edge to edge and I had to try not to make any noise this time. Although after so much scandal that he had made, the whole neighborhood must have woken up, so I focused more on closing the door since I was beginning to feel the terrible cold it was getting. After a long attempt to close the door, I went inside the house, which had all the Christmas lights on (even the ones on the tree), the idea of turning everything off to save energy came to mind, but I remembered the state I was in and several scenes of what could happen came to my mind and I decided to leave everything as it was. I went straight to the bleachers where the lights that adorned the railing were all that illuminated the path to the top floor, I took the first step on the wooden bleacher and with it, a deafening crack came from the place where I stepped, each The step he stepped on sounded louder than the previous one. which had all the Christmas lights on (even the ones on the tree) the idea of turning everything off to save energy came to my mind, but I remembered the state it was in and several scenes of what could happen came to mind and decided to leave everything as it was.

"That was the bad thing about living in an old house"

I went up as slowly as possible, so that all the noise would not wake up mom, it took me a long time to get to my room, which was in front of the stands, but next to it was the room with the open door where mom was resting. I glanced at her room, to make sure she wasn't hanging around and I went into my room, I quickly closed the door, since the slower you closed it, the more noise it made. I didn't bother to change my clothes and got under all the sheets that were on my bed, I fell asleep in a couple of seconds. I woke up hours later, since mom came into the room screaming because of the smashed pot she found in the yard, she didn't understand anything she was saying, I just wanted to go back to sleep and I put the pillow over my head.

"At least wake up and get dressed, it's already noon and your aunt will wait for us for lunch," she said in an annoyed tone, well, it was to be expected.

Like noon! What he said surprised me, I wanted to continue sleeping, so I quickly got out of bed and went to my cell phone to make sure that what he had said was true, since he always tends to exaggerate things, but indeed, it was already 12 o'clock: 10 of the day and I saw that the cell phone had almost no battery and I put it on charge while I changed. While I was changing I drank a bottle of water that I had left in my room days ago, the water already had a bad taste, but that didn't matter to me, I was dying of thirst, I felt that if I took a little longer to drink something, I would die of dehydration and I drank every last drop of water in the bottle, yet I was still thirsty. I still wasn't feeling very well at all, the alcohol was still having an effect on me, but I was definitely a lot better than when I arrived this morning.

I was almost ready, I only needed to put on my shoes and my mother was screaming from downstairs like a desperate madwoman, for me to hurry up, because we were already late for lunch. Others will say, but if it's too early to go to lunch because, by God! It was just 12:30, but for mom, that's already too late, if it were up to me, I wouldn't be there until 1:30 pm. So, I took the cell phone and the bottle of water, ready to go.

"Mom, I'm here, have you already called the taxi?" My voice was shaken by how dry my mouth was.

—What kind of taxi, will you pay for it, Tyler? Because I don't bring money for that.

What I needed was to go on foot to the other side of the city, luckily we were in the center, but it was still far and I no longer had money, because I had spent the last thing I had on the taxi that brought me last night, which worse is that I don't remember how much he charged me.

Hours passed, I was at the dining room table in my aunt's house, a while ago we had finished lunch and I had finished all the soda that was in that house, mom and this aunt liked to stay at the table chatting until tea time and that was a long way off, now there were none of my cousins with whom I could hang out, they wouldn't let me get up, they wanted me to stay there with them, since there were only three of us, that was the worst punishment in life, at least they still let me use my cell phone at the table. So I decided to take it out and I went to instagram, but there was nothing interesting and I left the application after a short time, until I remembered an application that my sister kiara had told me about days before, it was one where I could read books from anyone, although I was not a fan of reading books.
