°°Just another day °°

chapter 17

A long chapter dedicated to the fabulous @salma0703 who was way too impatient for an update

I woke up by the sound of the chirping birds , not by Austin which , still bothered me . I missed him and his crazy antics terribly , I missed his laughs and giggles and even though Sal agreed to get Austin once every two weeks , I just couldn't bring myself to it .There was feeling that just made me want to cry , thinking about the separation between myself and him disappointed me .                               

I Sat up in my bed and looked around at my room . My old room was cosy and warm with my grey sheets and squashed space but the room that I'm currently in is much better , a super high bed and almost everything white and pink . I mean mom didn't have a lot of time prepare and she probably thought that I was a girly girl . Here I have enough space to do as I please , I could even lie on the floor ! Not something I could do back at my old place.

After using the bathroom I silently go down stairs trying my best not to wake mom up since its a chilly Saturday morning that no one wants to be bothered on.

I enter the kitchen only to find Sal and mom talking about something ,confined in a deep conversation but as soon as Sals eyes meet mines , they stop and I see through her convincing good morning smile and see her red puffy eyes as she tugs on the beads of her dress just above her growing belly.

"Sal , what's wrong ?
Why are you crying ." "Did something happen with Mark ?" I asked concerned with a worried feeling pumping through my veins .

She shakes her head and then looks to mom who then nodds to her in reply . " No , it's nothing to do with mark , its .." she says and then starts to wipe her tears ." It's Austin , Sam ".

What happened to Austin , I hope he's alright I hope nothing happened !

" What happened , Sal ? Is he alright ?"  I ask but get no reply .

"Sal! " I yell as tears fill my eyes and I shake Sally angrily "What happened to my brother Sally ? Tell me !"

"Sam , Amanda was d-driving and she was d-drunk and Austin was in the back seat when she was speeding and Austin yelled for her to stop but she didn't listen so , he unb-buckled himself and tugged on her shoulder and that's when she looked at him and l-lost control ." she said while pulling me into a tight hug .

My heart was pounding heavily and now more than ever did I want to make Amanda pay for what she did ! This was only done because she has always been a drunkard and couldn't control herself since dad left !

Flashback

"Mommy , you're going too fast , mommy please stop ....mommy! "

"Samantha , sit back down right now and stop talking you're going to cause an accident !" 

I remember how she always did that , I never wanted to be in the same car as her because I knew what she was capable of whilst drunk and that's when Sal decided to always pick Austin and I  up from school after work for evryones own good and safety .

End of flashback

"Sammy , he's fine and So is Amanda , but his condition is critical and he might not make it , please pack your bag , we're going for a few days ." she said , trying to comfort me .
I nodded and ran up to my room to pack a bag .

My Austin is still alive , if he didn't make it then I wouldn't either ! He meant everything to me and I just couldn't loose him . I still feel guilty for leaving him with that darrange women! How could I be so stupid to do that ? I hope that she goes to prison for this because it was not the first time she was drunk and driving , this was not going to Just slip through my fingers easily , I'd never allow her near Austin ever again blood or not !
