Chapter 4

JADE POV

I sigh as I lock up the house heading upstairs I can hear my mother bawling and I think if I should go comfort her or not am not really good at this emotional stuff.

My phone ringing distracts me and I immediately answer the call; "hey Allen, what do you want? "If its not important piss off I snap into the phone, tired from today's events running a supermarket is not so easy

Way to answer your brother he answers back in a clipped tone

Its 11pm and I just locked up the shop on a Sunday, I have school tomorrow, with a bawling mother, what's your excuse?

He groans, she's still crying?

I shrug, and nod realising he's not with me i answer him, "yea I have no idea what to do with her" why don't you take a week off work and come stay with her, I can't deal with this I roll my eyes with a small groan

She's your mother Jade,and she's been with us through thick and thin, stick with her he explains to me

I nod, I know, but what am I supposed to say? am sorry your good for nothing husband left you? I say searching the fridge grabbing a bottled water while I try to search for food, well anything resembling food.

I don't know just hug her, try to get her to sleep he sighs into the phone

My eyes widen when I find a container its still warm I open it, shit she made lasagna!! I say into the phone, and its Hot!!! That's practically the only thing my mom can cook perfectly.

See, she still cares about you even when she's down try and talk to her Jadelyn

Hey I stop him don't call me that I grumble

He sighs into the phone I'll be around tomorrow evening, I'll stay for the night but that's it, don't get in trouble and please try not to have unprotected sex-"

Bye-" I simply end the call I don't think I want to hear the birds and the bees talk again.

I eat half, knowing my mother I know she ate nothing, so I grab a plate for her along with water in a tray, I push open her door, I look around the room she's seated by the window watching the rain drops on the window.

I sigh, thinking my words through; walking into the room dropping down on the seat opposite her, mom are you okay?

What do you think? She ask her eyes still focused on the pouring rain, weird weather if you ask me since it usually doesn't rain at this time of the year

About? I raise a brow

Your father, the way he left, do you think he will come back this time? She stares at me desperation filled in her voice her eyes staring at me with so much hope,the bags under her eyes are prominent then this morning, showing she did not get enough sleep today.

No mom I don't think he will be back and I don't want him back, you don't want him back I say bluntly, stay away from that man because he's a damn bastard I push the fork of food into her mouth, he's crazy and stupid for letting a beautiful woman like you go, for cheating on you in the first place, I watch her chew

But he apologized,-" her lips quiver

Saying sorry and passing out on the couch does not mean he means it, he's not genuine, he'll never change mom, now eat and move on I tell her with absolutely no emotion
