Draft
It was still the same as Lander walked back home but this time, he was in despair
lander(ml cousin)
*in deep thought* I don't understand why my coz is so cold toward me. I don't know why but I think he has a grudge on me that can never fade away. It's really not cool. I thought I could have a good time with him after not seeing him for a long time but it turns out to be worse. I apologized for it but he still is hung over on that
lander(ml cousin)
*eyes began to water and a single drop of tear fall down his face*
He was so lost in thought that he didn't see a car stop in front of him
The car rewind it's car window and a head propped out of the window and looked at the figure that looked liked a drenched lost puppy
Conner (landers friend)
*shocked* Lander
lander(ml cousin)
*still in deep thoughts*
lander(ml cousin)
*ignores*
Conner (landers friend)
Lander!
lander(ml cousin)
*startled*
Leon looks up and saw that it was Conner, his friend
He thought it was Leon, that he finally changed his mind
His sweet smile turned to a bitter one as he feigned happiness at the sight of his best friend
lander(ml cousin)
*hides emotion* hey man, I didn't hear you. What brings you to this city?
Conner (landers friend)
*laughs* I go here now and I'm going to stay here. Surprised to see you here
lander(ml cousin)
*laughs and looked at him hesitantly* um, can I hitch a ride ?
Conner (landers friend)
Sure, why ask?
lander(ml cousin)
*smiles* it's nothing. *walks into the car and settles down*
Conner drove off as they had a pretty good conversation
Lander was skeptical about having to speak with him because he wasn't in the mood
he stared at the road as the passed by and could help but feel sad even more
They spent time together but Conner noticed that Lander was down the moon
Conner (landers friend)
*worried* what's wrong man. You seem down lately.
lander(ml cousin)
*sighs heavily*
lander(ml cousin)
*feels that there is no reason to tell him about anything*
lander(ml cousin)
it's nothing. I just don't feel well
Conner (landers friend)
Look, Lander, I know you better than anyone and I know that something is bothering you greatly. I know that you felt gloomy the instant I saw you walking on the road. It just doesn't feel right for you to walk all alone on your way back home and in deep thought too. You could've taken a taxi or called an Uber.
Conner (landers friend)
It makes me feel that what was happening to you reached your core to make you look like this
Leon looks at him and he could only sigh as in exasperation
He does seem to be right about that but he still felt skeptical
lander(ml cousin)
*sigh* I can't tell. It's if no use
Conner (landers friend)
*sighs worriedly* ( he couldn't really get him to open up and he felt pissed about it. All he can do is to just keep him company and talk to him .... I he wants to)
Conner (landers friend)
Why don't you tackle your problem on your own and try to make it better.
if you are having trouble with someone or your loved ones, you have to try and make them to change their attitude towards you And...
lander(ml cousin)
*interrupts* what? that's really a great Idea
lander(ml cousin)
I like it
Conner (landers friend)
*laughs* *seems pleased that Lander Smiled* you didn't let me finish bit that's by the way. How's your mom?
lander(ml cousin)
she's doing just fine. She went abroad for business and I didn't want to go with her
Conner (landers friend)
what are you doing here if you ain't with her
lander(ml cousin)
enough with the trick question. let's have some fun.
Lander felt much at ease to hear what his best friend said . He sobered up with a new found hope as they chatted and spend quality time together
Leon's mother, Sandra walked to him with a plate of food on her hand. She decided to take the day off to stay with her son
Sandra (Leon's mom)
honey, I brought lunch for you
leon (ml)
tsk, not like I needed it
Sandra (Leon's mom)
*drops the food*
Sandra (Leon's mom)
*runs out after him*
Sandra (Leon's mom)
wait please
leon (ml)
*walks to his room and and locks it*
Sandra (Leon's mom)
*falls on the floor*
Sandra (Leon's mom)
*crying*
Sandra (Leon's mom)
I don't know what I did to you to make you despise me
Sandra (Leon's mom)
but I promise, I'll make up for it
Sandra (Leon's mom)
*stands and walks out*
Lander walks in and sees sandra
lander(ml cousin)
good afternoon aunt, how was today
Sandra (Leon's mom)
*smiles* you're back already, why don't you sit down, I've already prepared for lunch
lander(ml cousin)
*sits down* is everything okay?
Sandra (Leon's mom)
*nods* nothing
lander(ml cousin)
I guess that settles everything
lander(ml cousin)
um 😄 what about Leon?
Sandra (Leon's mom)
😔 he's in his room. He doesn't want to be disturbed
lander(ml cousin)
oh ( seems like Leon is giving aunty a hard time)
Lander is done with his food and excused himself
He slowly walks to Leon's room and knock
lander(ml cousin)
Please open the door, I wanna speak
leon (ml)
I don't want to speak to you at all
lander(ml cousin)
if you don't want to speak to me what of your mother
lander(ml cousin)
why did you make it your life long mission to make her miserable
leon (ml)
I say leave or I'll do something bad to you
lander(ml cousin)
I get that you are angry at her for what she did but have you ever asked why she did that
Leon became angry and he opened the door and began to punch lander on his stomach
Sandra heard the noise and rushed to know what was happening
Sandra (Leon's mom)
*shocked* Leon stop this madness. He is your cousin
leon (ml)
I wish he wasn't and I wish I wasn't your son
that word alone shattered Sandra and her heart began to hurt badly
Leon stormed off, leaving the two of them completely broken
For the first time, Lander never knew Leon hated him that much bit now, he had to console Sandra
