"Joey sweetie come downstairs"
Joeys mom yelled for him to come downstairs. He walked down the set of twelve carpeted steps, confused considering the only time she calls for Joey when she was either drunk or diner.
She never actually 'made' diner.
Usually take-out, not like Joey complains, take-out is life.
When he made his way down the stairs, she was sitting on the couch mentioning with her hand to sit next to her.
Joey sat down, still yet confused.
"Joey i-" she smiled.
This is odd. She's never smiling.
"I-im getting help Joey."
A small, smile crossed my face, still shocked thinking of the news he's just received.

"For how long!? " I shouted, ignoring the fact that I'll probably be alone the whole time.
"Probably a few months." She said the brightest biggest smile across her face.
"I-i know i did wrong with my- my addiction." SHe said, her smile fading away.
"Mom its okay youre getting help thats thats just amazing-"
She silenced me with a tear and a hug.
"Wh-where will I be staying?"
I asked, pulling away from the hug.
"My best friend Maria. She's taking you in.."
I smiled, grateful over the person I have yet to meet.
"She has a son your age! Daniel!"

I put the last shirt of mine into my suitcase, getting everything ready for tomorrow when Maria comes to pick me up.
Im excited for my mom. So very excited, but also nervous as heck.
"You done packing?"
I shook my head yes.
"Lets get Chinese."
