Chapter 55 Meeting The Mother

• It was the next day, and like I promised my mom, I came back home instead of staying over at Sophie's place after school. I'm still not talking to my dad; I won't until he decides to give Hayden a chance. I don't know why he is so stubborn, and to top it all, my mom hasn't been okay. She says she is, but I know something was wrong; she was always running to the bathroom, throwing her guts out.
• Most of the time, she was weak or sleepy. I had asked her to go to the hospital for a check-up, and I had no problem going with her if she needed company and my dad wasn't around. She had waved my words off, giving me her infamous line. 'It's nothing; I'm okay. '
• I just hope she is, and what she is will be a simple, harmful flu.
