So I dodged every girl I ca with and kept to myself
Three
I ca blue beat up car in the parking lot My feet stalled as I recognized who it belonged to My heart was all a-flutter, and my anxiety skyrocketed at the realization I turned myself around and ran to Jaxon’s house
"My father’s back," I said to hi his pyjamas, his hair in a ht of doing whatever illegal bullshit it was that Jaxon did on Sunday nights
"What?" he said, rubbing his eyes as I pushed passed hi to relieve
"Did you see him?" Jaxon asked
"I saw his car in the driveway"
"How do you knoas his for sure–"
"Because he’s been calling my mother for the last feeeks," I interrupted in irritation "I told you this"
Jaxon didn’t respond iainst the ith his arood…"I one five years…Who does he think he is? And she’ll take hiood for… I’ve had it with this crap…"
Finally, after many restlessrooe carpet I could feel the well of tears for in the back ofso well since he left Even though I had a non-existent mother inas the bills were paid and there was food
Jaxon moved to the three seater couch and sat at the end closest to o back," he said
"What do you ood You and I know that I’m sure Mom will let you stay here"
"And then what? Stay here and do what, Jaxon? Leech off your mother? I can’t do that There’s no room for me here, anyway I’d rather "
"You’re not freeloading," he argued, giving ood cash on the side, Sara I contribute here and can float all of us"
I shook my head "I can’t do that"
"Why not?"
"Well, we’d have to discuss it with your mother first"
"As if Mom won’t say yes," he scoffed
I couldn’t explain to him exactly why I didn’t want to htened for my mother Yes, the woman who never showed her maternal love for me in any shape or form still had my unconditional love My father, on the other hand, did not He was nasty and cruel, and I fully bla the reason why my mother was an alcoholic in the first place At least with hione she had never been verbally abusive to reements when it ca forced to take portions of gles I was able to live with
