"oww" I said turning to face the person I had run into.
" becky" came my mothers voice.
"mom" I replied
She walked me out to the car. We sat in silence before She turned and faced me .
"did you do drugs with him last night?"
"what?" "mom, no! He did not do drugs"
"isn't that why He's here?" She asked me.
"no.. He wasn't using drugs"
"good" She sighed and turned back to face straight ahead.
Most of the ride I stared out the window. I could not believe that my parents thought He was
a drug user. My mom had put clothes in the back for me to change into . We stopped at my aunts house and I hopped in the back of the car and changed into my jeans and a red tank top that my mom had packed. She handed me my cell phone and told me to call when I was done.
I slowly walked up the steps and was greeted by my little cousins. I'm not too big a fan of these baby sitting jobs I get from my aunt but my little cousins are sometimes fun. Two hours later I was walking out the door with 45 bucks in my pocket. I picked up my phone to call my mom when it started ringing in my hand. The phone identified the caller as Erika. I was unsure of why She'd be calling.
Erika's voice came through the phone, as if I was hearing last night.
"hey girl, did you get home from the hospital all right?
"Yea" I told her
"How is He?"
I wasn't sure what to say but I finally decided to say the truth.. Was it worth it to tell other people?
"He's got some sort of disease" I responded at last
"What?" She asked
"He's got a life threatening disease" I said again for clarification
" I didn't think it was that bad." She said after a moment of silence.
