The rest of the ride was slow and quiet, neither one of them mentioned anything else about their previous conversation. Mac did get to see Adam open up some more and see a little bit more of the personality behind the mask when Mac asked him about his classes. Finally they arrived at Adam's house.

"I... um... do... do you... do you want to come in?"

"Sure" Mac said taking his seatbelt off and handed Adam his backpack.

Adam nodded taking his backpack and getting out of the truck. Stepping out of the car Adam led the way up the stairs to the small apartment.

"Adam" A women's voice called "Adam is that you?" A small brunette woman came over, seeing Adam she ran and wrapped him in a giant bear hug. "Oh Adam I was so worried, where have you been?"

"I called and told you I was going over to a... to Don's house remember"

"Oh right" she said letting him go and turning to Mac she asked "and this Don?"

"No mom that's Mac."

"Oh, well very nice to meet you Mac"

"You too Mrs. Ross"

"Please, call me Anne, anyways it was nice of you to drive my little Addy home" Adam blushed at the use of his nickname in front of Mac.

"It was my pleasure, however I really should be going."

"Are you sure? I could make some hot chocolate? And I just finished dinner"

"Thank you but I really need to get going."

"Alright, if your sure"

"Yeah, my mom'll be wondering where I am"

"Alright dear, It was nice to meet you?"

"You too" he said turning to leave "See you Adam"

"Bye" Mac left

"Well he was really nice" Anne said when Mac was gone

"Yeah he is"

"So, how was your day?"

"It was good"

"How are you feeling?" She asked giving him a look saying 'I mean about the bruises'

"Fine mom, you?"

"I'm getting better sweetheart"

"That's good, how was work?"

"Fine"

Adam relaxed his mom was having a good day he just hoped that now that his dad was no longer around her episodes would fade.

Hey guys sorry it took so long I had no internet. So what do you think? If his mom doesn't quite make sense yet it will be explained soonish. I know it's short, but I just wanted to get in a little bit more about his mom in. Anyways, thanks for the reviews I really love getting them, like seriously I do like a little happy dance everytime I see my mailbox full of them! so thanks
