His Broken Heart

I walk across the school parking lot towards my car thankful that it was my turn to drive to school. My stomach feels like a potion in brewing inside. I knew that drink was too good to be true. I should've of known.

Getting into my car I throw my backpack into the passenger seat and don't bother connecting my phone so hear my music. I am not in the mood for a sing along ride. One wrong note and that morning drink will end up all over my car.

Luckily there's not that many traffic considering it's that weird time of the day where everyone is at work. You know what I mean? It's after lunch hour and everyone is back at work and it's not time for schools to be out so the streets are calm. Almost like the calm before the storm hits.

I get to my house and park into the garage noticing that my mom is not home. It upsets me a little bit, part of me was hoping she was home so she could take care of me. She must have gotten called into work early or something.

To prevent unnecessary gossip I close the garage doors and head inside. I don't want the nosy neighbors to notice my car outside during school hours. Not that I hate my neighbors but they can be nosy and later tell my mom that I've been "skipping school".

I go straight to our fridge and see what I can eat to make me feel better. We got left over pizza from a few days ago. Which actually makes me want to vomit at the though of it.

Then my eyes fall on a bottle of Gatorade. Bingo!
Having a mother work as an OR nurse has its advantages sometimes. Growing up as she would study her medical books she would always tell my brother and I random things that we could do by ourselves if we ever felt sick or got hurt.

I know better than to try to eat solid food, that is just asking for trouble. But as soon and I see that Gatorade I know it's better to drink it to have some type of nutrients since I didn't even touch my food during lunch. Plus is the lemon line, my favorite.

I walk over to the living room and settle for watching whatever is on television at the moment. A few seconds of watching some weird day time talk show I take out my phone to text my mom. I don't want her to worry so I just let her know I drank one of Sarah's mom drinks and that the nurse sent me home.

I keep scrolling through the channels trying to find something remotely interesting when i hear my phone buzz.

"I am not surprised haha. There's a Gatorade in the fridge drink it to feel better. Love u -mom"

My moms text makes me smile. She cares for my brother and I so much and she works very hard to give us everything we need. It was a drastic change when she started working afternoons because she would leave us right after we got out of school. Aaron was only 12 years old at the time and had to take the responsibility of taking care of me while she was gone and several times he would be the one tucking me into bed at night.

We were very young but we understood mom was just trying to provide us with a good life and home, which meant working her butt off at the hospital every night. For that she will forever be a mother and a father in my eyes. My father just walk out on us without thinking twice about the hardships we would have to face. We don't need a father because we got all we need- Mom

As the years went by we got accustomed to our weird schedules. I think it made us treasure the small moments we had when we were all together. Like the mornings when mom makes breakfast, holidays, birthdays, and those random days my mom catches a break and gets to spend some weekends at home.

My moms text reminds me that I need to text Sarah to let her know I left school early. She is quick to respond and let's me know that she will make Issac take her home after school.
