Casey Pov.
I walk into the familiar home smelling of bread and honey. I lay my bags by the door and look around. I smile to myself as I walk into the kitchen to find my mom pulling cookies out of the oven.
"So what kind are they?" I ask. She jumps almost dropping the cookies.
"Casey I thought I told you to stop...." She suddenly realized who she was talking to. "Casey." She yells. " You're home." She puts the cookies down and pulls me into one of her famous bear hugs.
"Mom.. can't ... breath." I sputter trying to take in oxygen.
"Your home." She squealed. "It has been so long since I saw you." I laugh at this. "You've lost weight. I knew you weren't feeding yourself enough." She says jokingly.
"Mom, I saw you 5 months ago." I say reaching for a cookie. She swats my hand away laughing.
"Ill help you with your bags." She says as we walk out to my car. After setting down the bags, I walk over and flop down on my bed stretching out like a cat. My mom chuckled at this and lays down next to me. I love when we do this. It has been mom and me since I was 4 when my dad died in a shooting. He was a police officer, and we had gotten a lot of money from his life insurance and from the city. I went to school to be a nurse in hopes of helping wounded people, like the nurses in the hospital he was in when he died. Ever since it has been just the two of us, I love that I always have someone to do things with. We are close but we don't tell each other everything.
"I don't know what to do first." I say staring at the ceiling. "Do you want to go to the movies tonight?" I ask turning to face her.
"Okay or we can order chinese and watch Netflix." She says getting up and walking out the open door.
"Oh and Cas."
"Yeah.
"You better go see Jake." She says turning back to the door. "You two haven't seen each other for almost 2 years."
"Okay." I say getting up to change out of the pajamas I drove in. "I can take him some of your cookies. He always loved when I brought over snacks."
