When I Turned The Television On.
| Seth Paver |
As Nathaniel and I arrive at the accursed office of Mr. X, interviewers and photographers crowd around the car.
"Hey, I'm still pretty famous after all."
"I can see that."
Nathaniel opens the car door for me while I step out.
Everyone tries to make way for interview while taking pictures at the same time.
"Seth, how do you feel now that your parents are back?"
I widen my eyes and look at the man who had asked in shock.
"What?"
Nathaniel holds out his hand and puts his fingers in a snapping position.
Everyone stops and stares at his fingers.
"Only photographers may take pictures. Interviewers may not be allowed at this point."
Upon hearing Nathaniel's request, photographers start taking pictures of me endlessly, making my eyes blink in confusion.
The interviewers leave, sighing and complaining under their breaths.
I glance at Nathaniel in suspicion.
"Nathan, that person said something about my parents being here. Is he saying the truth? Are they really here?"
He ignors my question and proceeds to Mr. X's office.
As he opens the door for me, I see my parents waiting for me.
I smile and walk over to them when my mom slaps me hard on the face.
"You little bastard! What happened to you? Where have you been? Why did you stop acting, hm? Are you tired of it now? Explain to me why your ratings are going down. Now, you asshole."
I look down, trying to shoo away the pain of her sudden onslaught.
"...yes, I couldn't take it anymore--"
"You couldn't take it anymore? How about this?"
I receive a slap again, making me wince in pain.
She was about to deliver another one when Nathaniel blocks me while my dad pulls mom away.
"Don't you stop acting or I will take away everything from you! Remember my words, Seth!"
"Odette, please stop. Let's go, let's go. Calm down,for chrissake!"
Father pulls mother away from me as I stand there in place.
Nathaniel turns to me and caresses my right cheek.
I widen my eyes in surprise and stare at him.
"Does it hurt terribly?"
"N-No, I'm fine, thank you, Nathan."
I touch my cheek gently.
"Shit, she's bloody furious..."
"Yeah, so that's a wake up call for you to really start acting now, Seth."
"Nathan?"
"Yes?"
"Please do a favor for me."
"What is it?"
"Can you please guard Alice? You can leave me here, I have plenty other bodyguards."
"What?"
He looks at me worriedly.
"But Seth..."
"Please. For me. You know I trust you."
"...okay. I will."
"Thanks, Nathan. I really, really appreciate what you're doing for me."
He nods his head and suddenly hugs me close.
"Good luck, Seth. I'll always be supporting you."
I feel my face slightly heat up as he lets go.
"Be safe, alright?"
"Uh, sure."
He leaves the office while all sorts of weird thoughts creep into my mind.
"What the hell..."
I hug myself.
What's wrong with Nathaniel?
And most especially, what's wrong with me?
