"Heather's POV

" I'm home!" my mom yells from downstairs. I quickly jump off my bed and make sure my room is completely clean.  I hear her loud shoes as she walks upstairs and I freeze.  
" Heather?"  her voice was soft and calming and I couldn't help but smile.  She was still in a good mood. 

Since it wasn't going to last, I opened my bedroom door and smile.   " hi mom".   She stops walking to her room and turns around.    " good afternoon! Did you enjoy your breakfast?".  I nod forgetting about throwing it away but it's not like she's going to get mad. 

Right?

"I ran to the store and" she stops and pulls out a small box. " this is for you".   I slowly make my way to her and grab the box.   " thank you". I wasn't sure if she was joking or being serious so I face down and open the box. 

I was expecting to see a workbook or something but instead, I saw a black mac book.    " mom" I say shocked at what she gave me.   " this is-   interrupting me, she hugs me tightly.  " I love you, sweetheart."   
This is the first time she ever hugged and me and really meant it.   I close my eyes and hug her back enjoying the feeling of being loved.  

She points to the mac book and says
" take care of this".   I nod smiling and give her another hug.      She smiles once more before turning on her heel.   On my way to my room, my phones buzzed.   A sigh escapes my lips as I pressed the green button.  

" Hello?"

" are you okay?"   Sam calmly says
