He Gets That From Me

Chapter 2: Tells Me He Loves Me Everyday
The group of teenagers standing in front of Beacon High School were staring at the large black Tahoe that had just pulled up in front of the building. Inside, Alex was undoing his seat belt.
"Bye Mom. Love you."
Alex kissed his mom on the forehead and jumped out of the car. Immediately, a couple of his friends ran out to greet him. Stella looked on, with a smile on her face.
Although Stella was a cop, she didn't interrogate her son about his whereabouts or look up all his friend's backgrounds. Alex was a good kid. She was just happy that he had friends.
Alex had been severely depressed after Mac had died. He'd been only 10 at the time. Old enough to remember his father and miss him severely but not old enough to know everything about him. It was also when his insomnia had started. Alex had started to be withdrawn and Stella had barely recognized him. Of course, Stella probably hadn't been a help to the boy. She'd been stricken with grief at Mac's death and had often cried herself to sleep. But now, 6 years later, they seemed to finally be getting back to normal.
Alex saw that the car was still there. He waved. The windows of the Tahoe were tinted but he knew his mother was looking at him. Stella waed back, even though her son couldn't see her and drove off. She was running late for work.
