The extraordinarily horrible Robot

It was my mate’s birthday. He was going to turn 14. I wanted to get him something really special because I have known him since we were two years old. My mum told me that we were both born in the same hospital in London but then we moved to Germany because my dad had had found a really good job.

After a couple of years my mum got bored and couldn’t take anymore of where she lived and told dad that she wanted to go back to London because she preferred it there and she knew more people. They both had a massive argument and stopped talking for weeks and weeks but eventually my dad apologised to mum and told her to move back into London and that he’ll supply us with money and everything we need and he’ll visit us once in a while. They promised each other that they’ll write to each other every other week.

Eventually mum found a job at an office, she was this mans secretary. This man was no ordinary man he scared me a little. He seemed really weird. He would always mutter something to mum every time he saw me it really freaked me out. As time went by my mum started to talk about dad less and she stopped replying to all his mail. I was really worried about her and really felt sorry for dad.

Eventually mum phoned him, I had just walked home from a long boring, bad day from school and I was just about to slam the front door when I heard mums voice “Harry, listen to me this is really not going to work out……….” I stood silent for a minute. I silently shut the front door and walked closer to the kitchen. Then I heard my mum speak again, “listen, I’ve been meaning to tell you, I mean……….. um… oh I can’t do this” then she slammed the phone down and ran out the room crying. I was thinking to myself oh mum ‘what have you done you poor silly woman’. I was really surprised of what just happened and couldn’t even get myself to comfort her, it was like I wanted her to suffer for what had just happened.

I walked upstairs really slowly trying to process through my mind what had just happened when I heard my mum sobbing and speaking to someone. I was thinking who the hell is she talking to or is my mum just beginning to go mad. I crept up to her room, her door was slightly ajar and I peeked through and jumped back in surprise and gasped. I ran to my room and slammed the door shut. My windows rattled for 2mins straight. I jumped on my bed and covered my head under the pillow and let out my anger ...
