Rolling my eyes, I muttered, "Hold on, Alex.."

I went frantically downstairs, trying to get this done as soon as possible.

WHAT was wrong with him now??!

And what if she just KICKED him out??

I'd have to figure out how to hang out with him anyway.

But I would HATE doing that to my mom..

Blinking back tears, I reached the end of the stairs and sat down at the sofa where my mom sat, staring at me uncomfortably.

"..Evelyn. Your friend needs to go, okay?"

My heart sank.

NOOOOOOO

"Mom, please..!!! Why are you doing this to me..?!" I cried wobbly.

WHY ?! :(

I saw pity in her eyes, but she didn't budge.

"I'm doing good for you! You'll be better off without him."

HOW DO YOU KNOW?!

Tears filled my eyes, but I wiped them away.

"..okay.. ..are you sure..?!"

She sighed deeply. "Evelyn.."

"..fine. can I at least see his mother..?? She has to know him the best?"
