Sorry it's so late. I tried to post it several times on Sat 26th but it refused to let me load the document.
But here it is!
Alexz.
The few minutes that passed while Georgia was in her office seemed like hours.
Eventually, Georgia came back. But her face was far from happy. I walked over to her, Tommy not far behind.
"Jude, your sister called. She said you need to get home now."
I looked at her. Why would Sadie want me home? I thought. So, I asked Georgia.
"Did Sadie say why?"
Georgia shook her head.
"No, but she sounded really upset. She mentioned your mom."
I felt Tommy put his hand on my shoulder.
"I'll give you a ride home." He offered. I just nodded my consent and followed him to his car.
When we reached my house I got out and ran inside. Sadie was sat at the table holding a note.
"Sadie? What's going on?"
Sadie looked up at me.
"She's gone."
I was confused. What did Sadie mean?
"Who's gone?"
Sadie sighed.
"Mom's gone. She left this note saying that she thought we would be better off without her bringing home a strange man every night."
I could feel my eyes fill with tears. But I refused to let them fall.
"You mean, she moved."
Sadie nodded.
"And I have to go back to college. Jude, you can't stay here on your own."
I knew I was losing the battle that I was having as I felt a tear slide down my cheek.
"But I have no where else to go."
And with that I left. I just had to get away from here.
As I flew past him, I heard Tommy call out my name.
"Jude!"
I just carried on walking and ignoring him. I had to be on my own now.
