Matthew Casey turned around, hoping he would fall asleep again but his eyes fluttered open as he realized it was his phone that was ringing. He turned around with a small moan, bumping into Gabriela and he sat up a little bit, leaning over her so he could grab the phone. Slowly he got out of bed and walked to the hallway.

''Matthew Casey.'' He said as he walked to bathroom and sat down on the edge of the bathtub, sleepily and confused somebody called him at this hour...so early in the morning.

''Matt, listen to me. I am so so sorry.''

''Huh?'' Matt said confused and he looked at the scream who was calling him. His mother.

''Matt, I am stuck somewhere...my parole officer is coming over in two hours, I am never going to be home in time. I really wanted to stick to my parole.''

''Mom, tell me, where are you?'' Matt said as he was suddenly awake and he ran to the bedroom, grabbing the shirt and pants from the floor as he dressed himself.

Looking at the clock as he heard the location, he bit his lip, not knowing if he could bring her home in time and Gabby looked up from the bed. Matt tucked the phone in his pocket and ran to the bed, kissing her quickly as he grabbed his keys from the nightstand.

''My mom, there is something wrong.'' He said as he ran out of the bedroom, down the stairs and through the kitchen, where he grabbed the car keys. Walking to the door he took the house key and tried to open it and as his hands were shaking he dropped the keys. Quick he grabbed them from the floor and opened the door, running to his truck while he was still putting his shoes on. Driving off his driveway he almost drove against one of the other parked cars. Quick he drove away and accelerated, faster and faster. He knew he was driving too fast but as it was early in the morning - before six - there wasn't much traffic on the way here farther away from the city centre, but as he had to drive to the city centre now it was getting busier and busier with cars around him and he looked around if there were any police cars around him as he was still driving too fast...if he wouldn't be in time his moms parole could be revoked...that was the last thing he wanted. It was not that he saw his mom that often...but he didn't want her going back to prison. That would give Christie a reason to get the right, that mom would never become a better person and she would blame him for trying to help her.

While they finally seemed to become closer again.

Looking at the clock in his car he knew there was still a possibility he would bring her home in time and he tried to speed up a little more. Damn, what had she gotten herself into again?

The worst thing was that he still had to be worried about her while she was his mother instead of the other way around!

Finally he reached the location she had told him and he parked the truck. Not seeing his mom he got out of the car.

''Damnit.'' He hissed as he took a small walked around and still didn't see her. When he wanted to go back to his car he was cursing inside, as she had really messed it up again. Had she taken a cab home?

When he wanted to start the car again and drive away she suddenly came walking around the car, towards his car and got in. Sighing she sat down as he started the truck now and drove away again.

''Matt, I am so sor-''

''Mom, don't.'' He said, angry as he drove the other way now to bring her home.

''I just-''

''Mom, no.'' He said again as he was angry. Angry he had to fix her problems again as he always had been doing. He had always been looking after his mother. Because she was emotionally unstable after the divorce with his father, because she couldn't handle Christie in her puberty. He had even kicked her out of his house as she couldn't stick to her parole and now she messed it up again.

''How is Gabby?'' Nancy said then and Matt just shrugged.

''She was asleep this morning so she didn't say anything, you know, sleeping, what normal people do at this time. What you should be doing and I actually should be doing too.'' He said grumpy as he stopped in front of the traffic light.

''Are we going to make it in time?'' She asked as she checked her watch.

''I don't know, I don't care.'' Matt sighed. It was not that he really didn't care, it was just that he was even more upset because of how light she was acting about this, like she didn't care either. No, when she had to go back to the prison he had to fix her problems again and he had to visit her, as nobody else would.

''You shouldn't have picked me up then.'' Nancy said as she crossed her arms.

''You know, that is the problem, mom. I have some feeling of responsibility. That part of common sense you seem to miss because I am always cleaning up your shit after you and honestly, I was afraid this was going to happen!'' Matt snapped, thinking back about the time she had stayed over at his house and neglected the rules of her parole as well.

''Did you do stupid things that might get you into more problems?'' He asked then, arching his brows and she nodded.

Mad Matt hit against the wheel as they were waiting by a traffic light.

''You know, sometimes I regret that I helped you getting on parole!'' He snapped then and his mom looked away, out of the window while he looked back at the road and drove away again.

The car was filled with silence as they drove to her house. Matt was to angry to say anything and Nancy knew it was better not to say anything to him as he had to the right to be mad. She had forced him into something he shouldn't have to do again. What if they would find out what she had done and it would affect his career?

She tried not to think about it as she looked out of the window.

Parking the car by her house they ran to the front door and she opened the door. Quick his mom ran to the kitchen and grabbed two mugs of the shelf and got the coffee machine on. She threw her coat into the hallway and Matt sat down as well.

The doorbell rang and his mom walked to the door. She opened the door and Matt heard her inviting the parole officer inside. Nervous he walked to the kitchen counter and poured some of the coffee in the mug. Hopefully she hadn't seen them running into the house.

''Ah, visiting your mother?'' She asked and Matt nodded.

''Guess you can do that too when she is back in prison. I was waiting for you across the street for five minutes because you weren't here.'' The woman said and behind her, Matt could see his mom frowning and she almost started to cry.

''You know about the curfew, right? You obviously weren't home this morning.'' the woman said and Matt looked at the clock.

8:10

They had been too late...

NOTE: Can Matt get his mom out of trouble again...or will he not even try as he is really upset with her? But if she did something dangerous...can he keep himself out of troubles as well?

I hope you liked the start of this story. It is going to be a rollercoaster for all the characters!
