"Huh?"

Hugo’s forehead creased. "Are you nuts?" he asked, getting weirded out by his sudden question.

"Nah. Don’t mind me," Hendrix sighed.

? "Let’s go now," Hugo was about to walk away when a strong pair of hands stopped his shoulders.

"I won’t go. I will be going directly to the apartment." Hendrix informed Hugo. The expression on his face vanished. It was replaced by something which he couldn’t point out.

"Why?" Curiosity was written in his voice as he said those words.

"I just want to take care of them. What if they suddenly woke up, and we were not there, right?" Hendrix uttered.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders. "Alright." He responded in a low voice. He stared at Hendrix carefully.

He knew that there was something odd about him, but he chose to stay silent. He needed to see why Hendrix is acting like this.

"I will go now then," Hugo announced. He didn’t wait for Hendrix’s answer, he just teleported right away toward the street close to their house.

Hugo silently walked towards their house. He was greeted by Hailey just like any other day. However, on the contrary of that, Hailey wasn’t smiling like the past few days.

Hailey silently went to his brother. She told him to come closer to her and since Hugo has a soft spot for Hailey; he followed what she had said.

"Mother is mad. She was worried about you about why you didn’t say that you were leaving," Hailey whispered right unto Hugo’s ears.

Hugo nodded as he patted Hailey’s back. "Don’t worry, I got this," he assuringly smiled at her.

Hailey shook her head, disagreeing with what Hugo said. "She’s mad! Like mad mad!" She exclaimed exaggeratedly in a tiny voice that only the both of them could hear.

Hugo scratched the back of his head. He hasn’t even taken a step into their house and yet his sister already gave him a warning about their mother.

"Go to the room already and play with your toys so that you wouldn’t get scolded too," he reminded his sister.

Hailey nodded. She smiled at Hugo before waving her hands to run towards the door.

Hugo does not know whether he should laugh at the way his sister run or be nervous about how loud her run was.

He was sure that because of it, his mother, Verda, already knew that he was back already.

"Hugo," a cold yet distant voice greeted Hugo as he finally stepped right into their house.

"Good evening, Mother." Hugo greeted his mother back. He marched his feet towards her side. "Sorry, I am late." He apologized.

Verda looked at Hugo. Her eyes were staring at him intently as if interrogating his soul.

Hugo chooses to remain silent. He was wary of his mother’s feelings, although he was already prepared to defend himself, if ever.

"Go change your clothe so we can have dinner already," Verda uttered. That was the only thing she said before she turned her back to go back to the kitchen to check on the food that she was preparing for the whole family.

When Hugo remembered it, he grew guilty of fooling his family.

’How can I tell Hailey that Rix wouldn’t be back here?’ He problematically uttered. He took a deep sigh and went to his room.

In there he saw that the other bed that he has bought was still in his room.

Honestly, even If it was just a short o period o time, Hugo had gotten used to Hendrix in his room. It must be because it didn’t get too lonely when he was still here.

Another sigh escaped from his lips. He started to fix all his things. He set aside the bag of food that he had bought for Hendrix. Even the wine that was already half done was placed properly in the corner.

He will just bring this tomorrow to the apartment so that Hendrix wouldn’t be tired of it. Hugo gathered all the clothes that he had bought for Hendrix.

’This will go too,’ he thought.

He took the phone out of his room and placed it in her parent’s room. Since his parent’s room was bigger and they could use the foam too, if they wanted to sleep all together on the floor, he decided to place it there.

"Hailey…’ Hugo called for his sister’s name as he opened the door.

"Yes, brother?" Hailey innocently asked. She looked at Hugo while playing with her toy dolls.

"Rix… Hugo does not know how to say the news to her sister. Gathering all his courage to say it, he smiled as he went closer to Hailey, sitting beside her. "He is back to his rightful owner."

"What?" Hailey’s eyes widened as she heard the news. She looked at Hugo, asking if it was true and he couldn’t help but nod.

’I want to curse Hendrix for placing me in this position,’ he uttered in his mind.

Tears started to pool in Hailey’s eyes. She dropped the doll that she was playing with. Hailey looked at the ground. The tears started to stream down her face.

"W-Why?" Her voice broke.

It was as if Hugo’s heart has been reaped apart by his sister’s fragile situation. He hugged her tightly, trying to comfort her weeping state.

"Shhh…" he tried to hush her down. "The owner said that I can take the cat sometimes and let him visit us." He tried to console her by saying those words.

"Really?" Doubt could be heard in Hailey’s voice as she raised her head to look at her brother.

Hugo smiled. ’I’m pretty sure I can make Hendrix back again here, especially if I say that it will be for my sister,’ He thought.

Hugo smiled, trying to reassure her sister that what he said was the truth.

Hailey slowly nodded her head. She knew that there was no point in Hugo lying to her. She slowly wiped her tears using her tiny hands.

Her tiny nose and her cheeks have gotten red because of her crying.

"I will believe you, brother." A smile rose up to Hailey’s lips that made Hugo relieved.
