twenty eight.
I walk out of the hospital, numb. I have Leah walking with me on my right, and my mom on the left. My mom signed me out and since I'm not eighteen yet I have to go with her legally. I didn't want to but, I had to. My dad was taken for counts of Child Endangerment and Domestic Abuse in the first degree. I can't believe he's finally gone. Away, locked up in a jail cell. We all halt when my mom starts walking towards her car, "C'mon Matt." I shake my head, "I want to go with Leah. She'll drive to your house." My mom sighs and says, "No Matt, you have to come with us. She can come over another time." I let go of Leah and walk over to my new family.
