Things

It's the first time I've ever seen uncle Alex's dad. I never really found it weird that he was never there in both my lives. He was smiling with his dad, at some reporters who took photos in the direction of Alex and his dad. The repoters left right after the photo and drove away. It seemed a bit random, but uncle Alex didn't find it weird. I think he didn't find it weird because the smile never left his face.

Alex brought his dad to the car slowly, gripping on his dad's hand tightly. He pointed towards us with a huge smile on his face, but he didn't quicken his pace. His dad calmly let Alex pull him to the car. His smile disapered when the reporter's left.

"Who are these peasants?" Asked Alex's dad after looking at me and my dad. Then he reached out to feel our clothes. So he is the reason Alex is like that.

"Hmmm, who is that peasant?" He said that while pointing straight at dad. Why does everyone think my dad is a peasant? Anyone who thinks that is a peasant too.

"They are both my best friends." Said Alex with a smile on his face, like what his dad said was normal. Well maybe it is normal, I haven't have many friends myself.

After all that happened, a car drove next to ours and stopped. the driver came out of the car. Then he opend the car door for Alex's dad. The driver then sat back in the front of the car and drove away. Something about all that just seemed so extra, but I can't figure it out.

My dad walked out of the car with a shocked expression on his face. He pointed at the house and asked,

"Does someone live in this thing?" I knew I wasn't the only one who found this house too big. Like the only person who lives here is uncle Alex.

"I live here, why would that be a question?" uncle Alex was a bit confused. He must find every other house small.

He led us into the house up the stairs and into his room. It was weird walking on the ground, I was so used to floating. I collapsed on the bed tired. Leting people see me this long made me tired and hungry.

"Do you have any food?" I questioned Alex. I was so hungry, I was willing to eat anything even soup.

He opened a box full of snacks, great not soup. I ate most of them by the end of the movie. My dad's eyes seemed glued to the screen.

"James, Angel, I have a present for you." Said Alex while holding a box. I didn't even notice him leave. Dad looked confused too.

There were two phone's inside of the box. One pnone had a blue case, and one had a red case. They both had wings on them. He gave the red one to dad and he gave the blue one to me.

"I already put my number on both of them. I also put lots of data on them and connected the phones to one of my bank accounts, so you can buy games and play together with me." Said uncle Alex with a huge smile on his face. He had thought of everything.

Dad put his phone in his backpack. I didn't really know what to do with it, but then a great idea came to me. I can put it in the journal. So I made the journal appear, put the phone in it, and then I made it disappear. I'm such a genius, I gave myself a pat on the back.

There was a knock on the door and I floated in shock. The door opened and it was that servant guy from last time.

"Young master, dinner is ready! Where is your other friend?" He looked around confused.

"What friend are you talking about, they are both here." Alex replied also confused. I just remembered I turned invisible again.

"Alex, he can't see me right now." I whispered into Alex's ear. I whispered in his ear knowing that the servant guy wouldn't have heard me even if I spoke normally. It just felt more exciting this way.

"He is using the restroom," said Uncle Alex with a red face. The servant guy then bowed to Uncle Alex and left.

"Why didn't you tell me you went invisible?" I didn't understand why uncle Alex asked me this question. Why did I have to tell him? Even dad didn't question me.

I needed to focus becoming visible wasn't, as easy as I made it out to be.

I repeated in my head the sentence. I want to be seen over and over again and just hoped it would work.

I followed uncle Alex and my dad down the stairs while chanting those words in my mind. I fell the familiar feeling of my energy draining out of me. I was really hungry again. I almost lost sense of were I was. I need food, I need food now was all I could think.

When we arrived at the dining room, I just shoved the food in my mouth. I used my hands not really caring what the food was. I looked up after a while of filling my stomach. Alex and dad were looking at me with shocked expressions on their faces.

I looked down at my hand and saw that they were covered in chicken grease. The whole chicken was gone. I heard a cough and I looked to the side and saw the servant guy. He was holding a knife that looked like It was for cutting the chicken.

I looked up and realized that there was no food left on the table. Not even the bowl of salad was spared, pieces of the chicken bone were missing. I just wanted to disappear at that moment and I did. I went right though the floor and into the basement.

I went to a small corner in the room and started to cry. Dad is going to be so mad at me, I ate all the food. He was mad at me when I ate just half of his food. What is he going to do now that I ate all of his food.

Maybe I could lie about it, but he was there. His shocked face replayed in my head. Why I'm I such a failure? After what felt like a long time, I heard some one calling my name. I still kept my eyes closed. It's a dream this is all a bad dream.

"Big brother Angel open your eyes." I open my eyes and looked at dad.

"This is all a dream right?" I asked him this question hoping this wasn't real. How could I mess up that badly?

"This is real Angel" dad grabbed my hand and brought me upstairs. The table was full of food again and the mess was cleaned like it never happened.

The servant guy cut the chicken and severed the food to us. We all ate in silence. Dad and Alex grabbed my hand a brought me back up to Alex's room.

"You should have just told me you were that hungry Angel, Do you never get to eat at the orphanage? You should just stay at my house, I have plenty of food and space."

"No!" repealed dad to uncle Alex. He fell in to a deep sleep after that and I didn't want to wake him up.

Alex helped me put dad under the covers of Alex's huge bed and fell asleep soon after. I closed my eyes trying to fall asleep. I screamed from embarrassment and fell asleep too.

I woke up to the sound of Alex playing games. Dad was still sleeping, how could he sleep thought that noise.

I joined uncle Alex playing some games with him, until the servant guy knocked on the door again.

"Young master, breadfast is ready." Is what he said while walking into the room. He stared at my controller then walked away quickly.

Me and Alex both tried to wake dad up, but He didn't wake up. So we gave up and went downstairs to eat breadfast.

The breadfast was very delicious, I saved half for dad out of habit. Wondering if he would like it too.

"Do you not want the rest? Don't worry we have plenty of food here." Said Alex with a confused expression on his face. I ate the rest slowly not forgetting my manners this time.

Then we watched another Two movies together on full blast, but Dad still did wake up. He must really be tired. Dad still wasn't awake after we ate lunch.

Now this can't be normal. Dad never sleeps in this long. I was just about to freak out, but dad woke up with a confused expression on his face.
