Dan hear shouting out his bedroom he crawl out his bedroom and went outside.

The noises continuing and they were speaking in a different languages.

"你不能就这样把他带走."(You can't just take him.) "是的,我可以让你签合同!"(Yes I can you sign the contract!) "请再等一年,我舍不得失去他."(Please just wait one more year I can't spare to lose him.)"好吧,再过一年我就会把他带走"(Fine one more year and I'm taking the him away.) "太感谢了!"(Thank you so much!)

Dan left while the shouting continuing and went to bed. Dan never understood what they are saying.

The sun shone bright out the window shining in Dan's bedroom. He yawns as he crawl out his bedroom. His mom was here with him asking him "Honey,where do you want to go today?" Dan stares at his mom with bewilderment. Usually his mom never had time for him and was busy with her work.

"I really don't know mom wherever you go I will go." he said. His mom look at him flabbergast and wipe a tear out her eyes.

"We going to the waterpark hon and I promise you will have fun there." Dan love waterpark even though he never been there. "Mom I know I'm going have fun,but let spend time together mom." "That my boy." she said.

Dan and his mom arrive at the waterpark. He and his mom slide at the water park together and it was speedy and quick. Dan scream while helding tight to the floaty. He and his mom both giggle together once it end.

They both went on the pool having a nice conversation and splash each other with water. Once they went out to dry themselves. They left the waterpark and went in the car.

Dan had so much fun that time he really want to do it again.

He asked his mom "When will we do that again?" His mom replied "Sometimes thing don't last forever."

Dan think of the shouting that had happen and still don't understand what she trying to tell him.

"Mom what do you mean by that?" he asked. His mom replied "Sometimes things are best unknown." Dan stay silent and went back to his room when they arrive home.

Dan went to bed asleep as the sadness fade away.

At Midnight Dan thought of his mother's word and went outside to have his own fun. He went to the restaurant that was still open.

He took a seat and the waiter ask him "Hey kid aren't you suppose to be with your parent's or at home?" He replied with silence.

"It very rude to ignore my question." The waiter said. "What can I get for you?" "Hamburger and mac & cheese." "Right away."

Dan want him to have his own fun,but he noticed a restraurant and his stomach convinced him to eat. He thought of his mother's words "Something are best unknown." "Sometimes thing don't last forever."

He hearing the sound of someone calling him "Kid?" "Hello your food here." He woke up still feeling drowsy. "Sorry I feel asleep." "It fine kiddo,your food is here and you don't have to pay." "Thanks."

He went outside and carry his food. Don't feel asleep he thought to himself.

He managed to arrive home and went to bed asleep while leaving the food in the kicthen.

He wake up and noticed a note

"I will be going to work today whatever you do,do not go outside today I be back in a few hours."

Dan couldn't wait he really really want go outside. So he went outside.

Soon his eyes closed. He woke up in a dark attic. He try to scream,but his mouth it covered with bandage. A person came over telling him not to worry. How could he not worry during this time?

She told him he will be free later she just need to feed him. So she grab a bowl full of mashed potato. He ate so he can leave.

For some reason he was feel better. He was released and went back home safe and sound.

He wait for his mother. Time passes and his mother hasn't even return.

His babysitter came and took care of him. She fed him and play with him. He was happy that she was here,but want his mother back.

So he asked "Where my mother?" She replied "I don't know,but she will be back."

"Now it time for you to sleep." "I don't wanna go to sleep."

"Sleep please." "Fine I will sleep."

He went to his bed didn't sleep. He stay awake leaning aside incase if his babysitter was watching him.

He sneak to the kicthen and grab a snack and went back to bed without anyone noticing,but his babysitter caught him.

"What are you doing this late?" "You should go back to bed."

He lies to her and said "I was just using the restroom."

The babysitter was easily to fool so she went back to bed nodding her head.

He sign with relief and ate the snack,crumbs fell. By midnight ants came biting the crumbs,biting him while he was asleep.

He doesn't feel anything for a while until the morning. He scratch his leg feeling pain.

He woke up his babysitter she sign taking a banadge to heal his wounds.

Even when it morning he still wanna sleep so he slept. His babysitter look after him days and days. He feel safe with her,but no sign of his mother. He feel pain without his mother. His mother hasn't been home days and days. He cry in tears,his babysitter calm him down so he calm down. He understand that his mother my not be coming back,but he still miss her so much. Soon after a year later he feel like he was in a sack with a moving van. He doesn't know where he was heading all he does was want to be with his mother.
