CHAPTER 4: CONCERNS AND DIFFICULT QUESTIONS.

February 7, 1989, London – England.

POV Alex.

When I got to my room, the first thing I did was leave my backpack on my desk chair and go to the bathroom, where I undressed and took a bath with hot water to relieve the fatigue that until that moment I had not realized I had. After bathing, I dressed in a set of comfortable clothes to be at home and lay down on my bed, to finish analyzing all the information in my mind, but when I fell on the bed and without realizing it, fatigue invaded me and closed my eyes fell asleep.

I woke up with a start when I felt them shaking me and when I opened my eyes I saw my dad, who was looking at me with his eyebrows furrowed.

- How are you? Does the blow hurt?

- No dad, how long did I sleep? What time is it?

- It's 4:00 in the afternoon, you slept for about 5 hours, your mother must be arriving, come down to eat, you must be hungry.

It was at that moment that a roar coming from my stomach made me realize how hungry I was, going down with my dad I headed towards the kitchen, where I found my lunch on the table, which I started to devour without delay without caring. It was cold, while I was eating, I could hear the door of the house opening and Magnus running towards the kitchen, who upon seeing me and noticing the blow on the side of my head, ran towards me with teary eyes asking me if I was okay and if I was safe. It hurt.

- I'm fine, tadpole; I told him while I ruffled his hair, don't cry, it's my fault, why are you crying? Besides, you're already grown up, you can't cry for everything and grown men don't cry.

I told him while I gave him a small tap with my finger on the forehead, he put his hands to his forehead, without understanding why they hit him and giving me a look as if to imply that he would never worry about me again, to which I just I laughed.

At that moment my mother entered the kitchen and looked at me eating and then at my father next to me who was drinking a cup of coffee and when he noticed my mother's look, he shook his head in denial, which I understood from his expression. in my mom's face which means that I haven't told her anything, so she comes and sitting in front of me, she says to me:

- Well Alexander Thawne, you are going to tell us what happened.

Noticing that I use my full name, I realized that he would not remove me from this table until I told him what he wanted to hear.

Thinking at lightning speed about what I could tell him, I debated whether to tell him if he was a wizard or not, but considering that sooner or later they were going to know, I decided to tell them everything, or at least what they can know.

- Well, what happened is that after class, I went to the bathroom to urinate, and when I was washing my hands, Marcus and his friends entered the bathroom and closed the door, they grabbed me by the back of the head and they pressed me against the mirror, but I used my magic to get them away from me and I accidentally used too much which threw them against the wall and hurt them; I said I finished everything as quickly as possible before they interrupted me.

- I'm sorry, I didn't hear you correctly, you used what?

- Magic, mom and dad I am a magician; I said looking them in the eyes and before they could process what I just said I focused on the spoon that was on the table, while I thought and wished with all my strength that it would move, float towards my dad's coffee cup and shut up. inside.

When they saw what happened, they both opened their eyes in surprise and saw me in a state of shock, my dad asked me:

- Alex, did you do that?

- Yes dad, I answered.

- How long have you been able to do that? my mom asked.

- Since I woke up after fainting at grandpa's funeral.

- Why didn't you tell us anything Alex?; my dad asked.

- I'm sorry! I didn't want them to see me strange and not love me anymore.

Shocked by what I said, my parents were speechless for a moment until my dad got up from the chair he was in and asked me to do the same, crouching down to be at my height and putting his hands on my shoulders, he told me. that he would never stop loving me, no matter what I was or did, that I was his son and that would never change, after which he wrapped me in a hug, my mother also got up from her chair and also hugged me next to dad, while He cried and said he was sorry for making me believe that something like this would happen. Magnus, not understanding very well what was happening, but when he saw us all hugging, he also ran to hug us, not wanting to be left out, making us all laugh.

After calming down, we returned to the matter that happened at school today, to which my mother told me that the principal had dismissed it as a childish prank that led to an accident and that I shouldn't worry.

- Mom, I think the best thing would be to request an early graduation, to prevent what happened today from being repeated, since I don't have much control over my magic.

Thinking about it, my mother agreed, along with my father, that she would be the most prudent, so that tomorrow she did not have to go to school and that she would take care of all the procedures.

After talking a little more, she assured them that she would use the time until the new academic period starts to try to control my magic, to which they agreed and we ended the talk.
