Before we begin, lemme just say that we passed 100 reads. That's. AMAZING. I'm so blessed and so happy. Thank you for supporting me and get ready because this story hasent even STARTED yet.

Thomas P.O.V. (taking place right after he drove out of the parking lot)

I get so in thought that I almost miss my turn into my neighborhood. Once I pull into my house, I'm forced to look down all the way at the pavement till I get inside. I can't risk crying right now. (You should know what he's talking about)
I open the door to a letter sitting on the ground. It was just a tiny paper folded hotdog style with the word "Thomas" on the front.

I pick up the letter and gently unfold it. Inside it reads:

Thomas,
     My boss called me in urgently to fill some orders. Hes sending me to the Bahamas to collect some ingredients for our fine restaurant. I left 20 bucks on the table just in case. Its not like you'll need it though with your new job, just thought it would help. I hope you have fun! And remember,
Dont do anything stupid.

                                        Mom

Does she think I'm that stupid? She most likely is taking a vacation with her boss that she's had an affair with for the past 6 years.

After my Dad left, she's been nothing but a bitch. She just sleeps and works at a crap restaurant. She use to be good, smart, pretty, and successful. She was on her path to owning her own restaurant. That's until father just left one day. After that, she's been drinking her worries away. She drank and drank and drank until she couldn't drink anymore. One day she came home with a man I never met in one hand and a beer bottle in the other, and you could imagine what happened next. I remember the tears rolling off my eyes as I cover my ears from hearing the sounds they were making in another room.
