Zion's POV
The next morning, I'm up and driving over to where Robby is staying to pick him up.
Today is the day he meets my parents and I couldn't be more stressed about it.
When we get to the hospital, I let Robby know that we're going to wait outside until my dad is available for visitors.
"And his overall health...?" Robby looks at me nervously.
"I mean, he still seems happy, I guess," I sigh. "He gets excited when Jess gives me new crystals to bring him. Every little bit helps."
"I'm sure it does," Robby nods. "Uh, anything specific I should or shouldn't mention?"
"Well, he enjoys talking about sports. I was a sporty girl, but he does have a good bond with guys, so you could try that," I suggest.
"What sports did you play?" he asks as we sit on a bench outside the hospital.
"Soccer, remember?" I remind him and he nods.
"That's right and I did, too. Okay, so that's a start," he takes a mental note. "And your mom?"
"Just compliment her. Let her keep talking about herself and don't talk about politics," I explain.
"All right. I'm assuming that means she's not as left as we are?" he asks.
"Right, she was raised conservative," I nod. "She's still grasping the fact that I can like girls and guys and any in between." She's still trying to handle a lot of things... and not doing it well.
"I am sorry about what I said about her," Robby apologizes again. "That's your personal stuff and I have no business in it."
"It's all right. Can we just not... not talk about it?" I ask softly. "She should be out here to get us any minute."
"Yeah, um... it's cool that you have both parents, though. You don't know how lucky you are," he says positively.
I look down and can only nod. My mom doesn't give a shit about me. Is that really luck? She's just here to cause stress in my life. Sometimes, I wish she were out of my life like Robby's dad isn't in his. Maybe my dad and I would be better off.
I'm going to hell for thinking that, aren't I?
"Oh, hold on," Robby's phone rings and he silences it. "Sorry."
"Who was it?" I ask curiously.
"Uh, wrong number," he shrugs unconvincingly.
Then, the phone rings again and I can see the angry and irritated look on Robby's face.
