Chapter 3
Amy's Pov~
I woke up on the couch alone. I guess Ricky left last night. It was 7:15am. "Oh god!" I yelled. "John wake up! I am dropping you off at school today." I yelled. He gets ready. We get to school 30minutes late.
"Bye mom." John says and walks up to school. I drive quickly to work.
John's Pov~
I walk to my locker. I set some things in my locker. I grab my history. I look in my book. Dang! I don't have my homework. Left it in my room. I walk to my history class. I walk in. "You're late John." Miss. Lid says. I just take my seat in the back. "Homework goes on my desk." She softly says.
I don't get up. My friend Jason was in here. He threw me a piece of paper and it said 'Why were you late?' I wrote down: 'My mom didn't wake up till 7:15 am when school starts at 7:30.' I throw it back to him. History goes on till the bell rings.
"Class, your homework assignment is reading 205 through 220." She calls out and I walk out of the class. I took my phone out. There was a message from mom. It said: 'Take the bus home John.' I tell her okay.
School goes on forever. Then finally the last bell rings of school. I go to my locker and put my books in my backpack. Damn! I got tons of homework. I can't do anything. Mom will ask about homework and if I lie I get grounded. I get outside. I needed to get to the bus or I was walking. It was 6 miles. I ran to the bus.
Someone stopped me. "Hey do you know where I can find this street?" A girl said. She lived on my street. "I am walking." I tell her yeah. I told her where to go. I got to the bus stop but the bus just left. Shit! I don't want to walk. I walk the other way to get home. I try to image the girl.
She had long dark brown hair. Her eyes were brown. She was cute. I admit it. By the time I got home Emily, Isabella, and Daniel. "John, why weren't you home sooner?" Grace asked.
"Missed the bus." I answer dully and just walk to my room. I read my out of my history book. Finish my homework for Science. Do the rest. By that time it was 8:30pm. "Goddamn it." I say under my breath.
I walk downstairs. "Hey John, how was school?" Mom asked.
"Fine." I answer.

"If you're hungry you can have leftovers." I say to John. "John, you only said word to me. What's the matter?" I ask.
"Mom, was I a mistake?" John asked.
"John, that doesn't matter, does it." I say. He looks at me. "John, when I was 15 or 16 you were a mistake but now I am happy I kept you because I would be living with no one." I say truthfully.
"No mom you wouldn't!" He yelled. "You would have a collage degree! You would have a nice job! You be married but every person you date doesn't like me because their not my father!" He says. "I am the mistake." He cries.
I put my arms around him and hug him. He is almost as tall as me. "Why the hell would you think that? I don't like your thoughts lately. Keep your thoughts straight go with the flow." I say. "Have a bowl of cereal. Your dad is coming soon. Ashley and her family are coming too." I say. He does as I say.
