Chapter 2- On the same page

Chapter 2- On the same page, As soon as I saw him I knew something was wrong. When he saw me he stood up from his chair and smiled at me. He then wrapped his arm around me and said "hey shorty" like he always does. As we began walking to the car I asked him if he had heard from my mom he said no but we would talk about it in the car. After he said that I started to get worried even more than I was. Once we got in the car I saw my stepmom Sara in the passenger seat on her phone. After I pushed my bag to the next seat and buckled my seatbelt my dad looked through his rear view mirror and told me my papa t had called him and told him my mom was in the hospital because she took the wrong pill and that he is waiting for my papa t to call and update him. When he told me that I froze I didn't know what to say mainly because my mom was in the hospital but I was also confused because he said she had taken the wrong pill I didn't know if he was trying to tone down the story so I could handle it or he just didn't know everything. so I told him everything that had happened that morning so we would be on the same page. He told me he didn't know I had seen my mom that morning. During the whole car ride, they just kept telling me that I was going to be staying with them for a while and that if I needed to talk they were there for me. I was glad they were making sure they were making me feel safe but I've never been a very open person so it was going to take some time before I would express my emotions. Once we arrived at the house I grabbed my bags, my dad gave me a hug and I walked in the house. I didn't really want to talk so I just went straight to my dad and stepmoms bedroom I laid my stuff down as they told me that if I needed to I could just come into their bedroom just to have time alone. We were staying with some friends for a while until we could find a house so that meant I didn't have my own room at the moment which I was fine with since it wasn't going to be for long. Before we moved to our friends' house we were with my other grandparents but they moved to Alabama cause my grandpa retired. I wasn't very happy about it though because they were my best friends they always listened, they never had drama they were there when my mom and dad would fight they were always my safe place and I miss them so much I still see them occasionally so that's good. After I set my stuff down my dad told me that my nana and papa T was coming to make sure I was okay I was so happy. I couldn't wait for them to get there I knew when they did everything would be better at least a little bit. An hour had passed and I heard my dad say that they were pulling into the driveway. After he told me I jumped out of my seat and ran out the door to greet them. My papa t got out first. When he did I gave him a big hug I also did the same for my nana. After all the hugging I walked them inside then we all sat down at the kitchen table me, dad, Sara, and my grandparents to talk about everything that's going on to get on the same page with my grandparents. My nana had said that my mom has been posting some strange things on her Facebook page for the last week or so. She pulled out her phone and showed everyone but not me I really wanted to see it but they were just trying to protect me I guess. After that, we just kept talking about everything. After a while, we started talking about hotels for my nana and papa t to go to so we called a couple of hotels to see if there were any openings, We finally found a good hotel only about five minutes from the house. Then my dad asked me if I wanted to go with them I told him yes it would be fun. So Sara and I went in there bedroom to pack a small bag with everything I needed. After I was done packing it was time for us to go so we said all of our goodbyes and headed to the hotel.
