Taken Back

The Case

Miguel was still worried about going to jail. All because his friend and the unfaithful husband...whom had nothing to do with it.

I went home and saw my son at the table doing his homework, meanwhile I get a call. I picked up the phone.

Me: Hello?
Man: Is this Mrs. Kunal?
Me: Yes who is this?
Man: Your son has skipped 2 classes today, both classes had tests going on. His grades are now F's for skipping. We require your son goes to Saturday school. This has happened twice this week.
Me: I'm sure it is because of my absense of not being home! What class are they?
Man: They were math and English.
Me: He told me about them. But said he didn't need to because of grades.
Man: Well ma'am, that's a lie. Everyone takes it regardless of grades.
Me: Thanks! I will talk to him about it!
Man: Have a great day ma'am.

  I sat down the phone and hit the counter top. "James, what's this about you skipping classes that have tests in them?" He slowly turned to me, in fear.
He got up "Mom let me explain! I wasn't ready for the test okay and I would've failed it and if I-"
I stopped him. "Enough James! You have 0's for tests in those classes and which not help you pass!"

He sighed and looked guilty. "Mom I'm sorry I didn't want to fail it!" I smiled and kissed his forehead. "You won't fail by trying James...I love you so much and you have never failed a test before. Please, take the tests tomorrow! Or I have to send you to Saturday school to get grades caught up."

I heard the garage door opening and heard a little girl laughing. I got up to see my husband and my daughter walk in. "Hey boo!" She smiled and ran to me. "Mommy!" She kissed my cheek. I picked her up. Fastly. I smiled at her. "How was school today?" She smiled with her white teeth. "Good, Ms. Ryan's class is doing a book fair project!" I gasped. "Ooh yay! Excited Mads?" My husband laughed. "Alright you guys have an hour to get ready for aunt Pam to pick you up." Madison sat there, wanting to cry. "No I want to be with mommy!" I smiled and hugged her, and went through her hair, "mommy loves you, it'll be okay Pam loves you!" The phone rings. I answer...

Me: Hello?
Woman: Hey Amber it's Pam. We have something going on...and I can't watch the kids...
Me: Okay, what's wrong?
Woman: It's the woman you met earlier..
Me: The wife?
Woman: Yea
Me: What about her?
Woman: ...She's dead!
