The Silence

 

I walk in the house just after the school sent me back home for cursing at the vice principal. My head was full of thoughts and regrets it was like a garbage bin and people would throw their trash on me. I reach the house and I see some of my relatives cars parked outside. I’ve never been so nervous in my life. I walk inside the house. There they are my father, mother, siblings, and my relatives. I greet them and not a single word comes out of their mouth. They just looked at me in disgust. It was like I have just killed someone. The silence was killing me. They kept staring at me with disappointment. I did not know what to do. I was like a statue to them, they’d only look at me and never actually say anything to me. My heart was racing, I was sweating. I felt like I was getting stabbed in my back by my own family. The people I go to with all my problems and thought always would be on my side, just left me behind. My world paused for a few minutes and I just kept analyzing their eyes. My mother’s eyes full disappointment. My father’s eyes filled with rage. My siblings eyes confused but they just can sense that there’s something wrong. My relatives eye’s kept looking the other way not knowing how to react just acting as if they don’t know what’s happening. I snapped back into reality and continued walking like nothing happened. I couldn’t control my emotions. I jump in the shower thinking it would make me feel better but the only thing I end up doing is showering in my own tears.
