As I walked through the door I could see Kerry leaning her hands against her face, I felt sorry for everything that Kerry was going through with James
"Hey" I said leaning against the door looking at her, she looked up to see me smiling slightly before she leant back "Oh you have that look on your face" I said bluntly
"What look?" said Kerry her face laced with tiredness
"The I wish things were different look" another small smile appeared but left quickly
"Yeah well" she said Looking away from my gaze
"Do you want me to have a talk with James" her eyes looked back at me at the mention of her sons name
"Look Leon, I think it's best" said Kerry trailing off as I interrupted her
"Kerry, Kerry, maybe you should just listen for a bit" a said pausing quickly "why don't you try really hard to pretend that you aren't the boss, and I'm not the tech head who gets on your nerves, can you do that?" I asked at the end seeing her face lift a little, I was meet by silence so i press on "I know what you both are going through, if you want specific details I can give them too you or you can take me on my word but I do know Kerry" I said thinking about my past
"Look it's like I can't even see him anymore, it's just like a haze, sometimes I think I see a glimmer and then he does the most evil shit, I mean he would literarily sell his mother if he could
"He can't see you either, you have a problem there"
"Yeah well it's like I am gunna loose him"
"you might" I said walking towards Kerry telling her bluntly about losing her son, I sit down on the bench opposite her, her eyes are swimming with tears threatening to spill over before getting up and walking away, the memories of my own past with my mother losing sight of her as she lost all of herself, she had started using drugs when I was fourteen, I pretty much lost my mother when she did, leaving me to fend for myself, always getting bullied at school because of my mother's addiction, I have forgiven her but Kerry is like the mother that I never had sure Kerry has had her up's and downs but even though she can be snappy and annoying I still count her as my adopted mother, and she even told me that I am like her adopted son.
