As soon as morning came Drew was ready for his last day of school. His mom tried all night to get him out of his room but he wouldn't come out not even to eat. They came up to the school 15 minutes before the school bell would ring. Drew climbed out of the car and shut the door but before he moved his mom stopped him.
"What?"
She looked down at the steering wheel before speaking. "I called the courts yesterday while I was packing. They have decided that it would be better if you went back to your original foster family. They will be here to pick you up after school."
Drew froze at that. Drew's original foster parents were abusive and were masters at covering it up. The only reason Drew got out of it before was because he begged the judge for a new family.
"You're joking right?"
She shook her head and drove off.
Drew stood there for 10 minutes stunned. That was the last straw. No more. Drew took of running in the direction of town. He ran for a good 30 minutes before coming to an auto repair shop. When he entered the man at the register got a surprised look on his face.
"Drew what are you doing here? You should be in school."
Drew was peeved enough as it was he didn't need this on him right now.
"No time to explain. I want the custom bike now."
He again got a shocked look on him. He shook it off and looked at that green and black motorcycle in the corner. It looked like it was just bought but really it was a year old. The man turned back to Drew and asked, "Did your mom say it was ok?"
Drew's hand clenched at that. "She's not my mom anymore. Now look. I don't have much time before the school comes looking for me. You're in debt to me $11,000. Now you can either give me the money or give me the bike. Your choice."
He sighed I know he doesn't have the money so his only choice is to give me the bike. He picked the keys off the rack and threw them to me. I grabbed the matching helmet and started the bike.
"Be careful out there."
"No problem," I replied
Before I drove off I said "Say hello to your grandson for me Mr. Tennyson"
