As soon as I saw the truck ahead of us, I went blank. It's one of those moments where something is so close to you, that you can do nothing, absolutely nothing, about it and you accept it how it is.
Just as I closed my eyes, I felt the car swerve sharply to the left. I opened my eyes to see that we were on the edge of the road with no other car in sight and Alex's hand was resting on the steering wheel. Oh.
"Are you okay?", Alex asked me in a soft, concerned voice. Once I nodded my head, his face changed immediately to a furious one and he said," Stella, what the hell is wrong with you! You, no, we could've died! I told you not to drive, but you -"
"Alex!", I interrupted him, "Just give me a break for god's sake, okay! I understand your concern and all but I just have lot going on right now."
I got out of the driver's seat and slammed the door shut, and walked over to the passenger seat. Once Alex realized that I wanted him to drive, he got out of the passenger's seat, leaving the door open for me, and went and sat in the driver's seat. The entire drive home was silent.
"Thanks", I said to Alex once we reached my house.
"Don't sweat it", he said and drove away.

I went inside and my mother was nowhere in sight. Weird. Normally she would be in the kitchen making supper, or on the couch reading a magazine. Meh, I already have too much to think about and this should not add to the list.
I walk towards the fridge to pour myself a glass of juice. Just as I am about to open the fridge, I notice a yellow note stuck on the fridge that said :
"Your grandmother's sick. I have gone to meet her. Will be back in a week or two. Order something, I have kept the phone numbers for Chinese, Italian and Thai on the desk. Love you. - Mom."
Okay, she's been out before so this shouldn't cause any problems for me. Also, right now being alone is the best for me. I could use some alone, thinking time.
