Chapter 3: Safe Haven
I took slow steps to home, I was in no hurry today…
There was still plenty of time before my shift started.
I thought about how I was going to deliver the news to my mom
Omitting the 'details' was definitely the 'way to go' about this
My mom wasn't a cool-aid mom but she did the best she could.
She loved me, although she rarely said it.
She didn't understand me much but she wanted to… and that was enough for me.
I knew already that when she'll hear that I'm getting transferred out of Lakehurst, she might get disappointed but she still won't show it.
We were beyond that point in our relationship where we needed to express our every feeling and emotion to each other.
I never explained myself to her and she never confronted me.
That's how it was with us, and neither of us thought of rocking the boat now.
My mom had taken the news exactly the way that I'd thought she would.
No judgments and no questions asked.
My work shift used to start at 6 and ended around midnight.
I was mostly in charge of closing up the counters which took another half an hour.
Mall wasn't too far from my house and having grown up in this neighborhood, it gave me an extra bit of confidence walking on the streets in the night.
Besides downtown streets were always lively even into the wee hours of night and as dangerous as they might be, still provided me with a sense of security.
That night, when I came home from work, it was already 1 a.m. and I was tired of the long day.
My mom was asleep on the couch with the TV on.
Looking at a few cans of beer, I figured out that she had drunk herself to sleep.
I turned the TV off and headed to bed myself.
