Last night I was woken up by the sound of what sounded like DS1's voice at around 3.00 - 3.30am. I went in to check his room and went to his bed and found clothes rolled up to make out he was in bed. I then rang his mobile, no answer, a rang several times and then called my sister to see if he answers her calls. No answer. I was so worried about DS, and didnt want to wake DH about it. I stayed up and continuously checked his room and his bed, his window was slightly opened and the room was just so cold. You know all these things started going thru my mind, like where is he etc.
The last time I went to his room just before DH got up to go to work and I had heard a car parked out the front and what sounded like DS getting back inside the house, which is what made me check his room again. Still nothing/noone. I then closed his door again and not long after heard some coughing, which I knew sounded like DS. I went back into his room checked his bed and nothing. I then thought maybe it was my other son which he said it wasnt and then I heard the coughing again, by this time DH was in the shower. I went back into his room, no-one in bed looked under the bed there is DS.
Now the reason I am questioning DS is I have caught him once before yet this was now where near as early. That particular day he was trying to say he was running around the park all morning - Ahh what at 5am. He is 16yrs.
Today he is trying to tell me that he was hiding under his bed as he had people looking at him thru the window, (You know the spirit kind) which I believe he is trying to convince me of as he truly believed he saw a man staring at him one night and noone was there and I had kept telling him that.
I ended up talking to DH about this as he wanted to know why I was up half the night sitting on the lounge.
DS then started calling me a liar in front of his father and that I am trying to cause trouble for him, nice one ha. My son was saying all of these hurtful things, and here I am waiting up all night with worry.
Now last night DD1 was telling me DS was talking to a boy on the phone and the boy told him that it was his 20th birthday today (yesterday) so that is something that I wonder about if that is where he was. With this 20yro.
I just dont know whether to believe DS and take his word for it once again, or do you think I really did catch this boy of mine out. I honestly dont need this right now. I know he is a good kid but am starting to wonder about the friends he keeps.

Thanks for listening.
