I was standing on Sadie's porch and I knocked on the door. Both she and Rick were at work, so I knew my parents would be the only ones there. The door opened and my mom was standing in the doorway. "Janis! You came!"
"Not for you. I came for pissed off sex with Hyde," I replied and she stared at me.
"What?"
I shook my head. "Never mind. Can I come in?"
"Of course." My mom stepped aside and let me walk inside the house. They had started to pack up their things, and suitcases were lying, half-filled all over the place. Mom called into the kitchen, "Honey? Janis is here!"
"Janis? Huh...I knew she'd come," my dad murmured, walking out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and a Pop-Tart. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. "What are you doing here?"
Okay, that actually took me by surprise. "I could ask you the same thing," I replied, coolly.
"You could have died, Janis. I wanted to make sure you were alright."
"Why didn't you come to visit me at the hospital then?"
"I think you made it pretty obvious that you didn't want to see me."
"Oh wow. This is the first time you've ever done anything I wanted." We just glared at each other for a few seconds and my mom shifted, uncomfortably next to me.
"Janis...I didn't come here to see if you were okay," my dad admitted.
"AHA!" I yelled, pointing at him but he just ignored me.
"I came here to take you back to Chicago."
