It's been literally months since I've heard a peep from my mom. I sometimes walk past my old house and just wondered what shit show is going down the other side of the wall.

I'm not gonna say I miss her because she wasn't ever there for me to develop a relationship with, but not having her to deal with was wierd. Life just seemed so good.

It was all down to Carl. He had a terrible past but now he's amazing. Literally perfect. But as soon as life is gaining momentum some fucker has to come and knock it down.

That fucker this time was Fiona.

Carl walked into the kitchen with me on his back. My arms were wrapped tightly around his neck. Fiona was sat on the floor with her head in her hands.

I jumped down and rested my hand on her shoulder "Fi, what's wrong?"

She practically snarled at me "You!" I was taken aback to say the least: "you did this, the money, it's gone" my heart hurt and my face flushed. It wasn't me.

I couldn't believe that she would blame me. It hurt to see her hurting but the anger hit me like a ton of bricks. "I can't believe you would think I did that?!" I say puzzled at the weakness in my voice.

"Don't you dare pull the innocent face. I know you did it. It was here earlier and I come back to see it all gone. I needed that. We needed that. And you took it" she raged.

I shook in disbelief "but, it wasn't me--"

She cut me off "--GET OUT"

So here I am, roaming the streets with a backpack slung over my shoulder. I walk past my house again. And again. And again. I can't go in, it'll bring everything I've left behind back.

I force myself to walk to the park and choose to sit on my favourite bench. The view is so pretty for this part of Chicago. There's a pond, shrubs surround it and just in the eye line above the trees is the city behind.

The bench squeaks quietly and I look up at the person say next to me. The words that come out of their mouth break me.
