The Pain

The Pain ch.23

Veronica

Its currently Saturday, the 25th. Grams trial is today. I wake up around 7:00 A.M. and I'm super tired but I can't fall back asleep. So I get up and get ready for today. I take a shower, put on my outfit and fix my hair. Then I make some breakfast.

When I finish eating, I grab my sketch book and start to draw. This is how I express myself. These drawings are my feelings sketched out.

When I look up at the clock, it 8:20. Lucas should be here to pick me up soon. I would drive myself but I don't have a car. So I usually ride the bus everywhere I go.

I hear the door bell ring, so I grab my stuff, and open the door. "Ready to go?" Lucas asks me.

"Yep." I'm ready. I step outside in to the cold. Lucas slips his hand in mine as we walk down the driveway to his car.

When we get in the car he starts talk to me normally and I talk normally back. Then he starts talking about his mom who he never talks about.

"She keeps asking me weird questions and I've never told her anything about it. Like one day I'm leaving to go to school and she said 'You have a girlfriend?'"

I'm just as confused as he is. "Wait so she won't tell you how she knows. She just knows?"

"Yeah. Then I told her where I was going today and she seemed all interested and I told her somethings. She mostly kept asking about you though." He said.

Me, why me? "Why was she asking about me?" He shrugged his shoulders at me.

"Probably because she doesn't know you or something. She was overprotective about a lot of things when I was younger." He says.

"Maybe she's realizing that she needs to get her life back together or something. Maybe she's just trying to understand what's going on in your life." I say, he nods at me. He takes one of his hands off the wheel and places it in mine.

"So your saying I should give her a chance?" I nod. Everyone deserves a chance maybe to fix something.

"Yes. Maybe she's trying to." He doesn't respond to me for the next few minutes. We then pull into the court where the trial is. Lucas must notice the fear in my face because he squeeze my hand.
