Harry just now gets home from school, frantically and in a panic he opens the door sets his stuff down and searches the entire house for his mom. She is nowhere to be found so that first thing he does is call her best friend Carrie.

(character description: Harry is 17, normal rich boy with a kind, kind heart. His mom and dad are severe alcoholics. Carrie is not)

Phone Call:
H - "Hello, Carrie.. It's Harry again."
C - "Oh hello dear, whats up?"
H - "Ma'am, is my mom with you?"
C - "No, sorry honey. last time I saw her was last night. She and your father are in a huge argument and she came over here with a 12 pack and we had a few and she left.  I assumed she went home."
H - "I assumed she was sleeping in the morning, so I didn't check on her.. I called her earlier a few times and she didn't pick up.  I'm worried."
C - "Hun, I wish I could help you but I have to get going.. I really hope you find her. DON'T CONTACT YOUR FATHER THOUGH!!"
H - "O-oh okay ma'am, thank you. Bye."

Harry thought of it to be pretty weird that Mrs. Carrie had to go all of a sudden and she almost sounded suspicious.. "and why the hell can't l talk to my dad??" he wondered allowed. But he didn't want to get too ahead of himself, besides he knew she'd show up stumbling in, hammered or high at some point between 1 and 8am, yelling at Harry for pointless shit again anyways, so why get too worked up over it. Harry tries contacting some friends and relatives of his mom and dads.. none knew where she went.

Finally, at exactly 4:18am, Veronica, Harry's mom shows up through the front door stumbling in, hammered as expected. Only this time she isn't yelling at him.. she's crying?? Harry can barely make out the words that are practically spilling out of her mouth along with spit from her sobbing and mumbling drunkenly
"h-he left-",  Veronica sobbed/mumbled
"what? dad?"
"YES HAROLD, YOUR F-fathe-r-r, he left-t me.... f.. for... good *sobs really loudly*"
"Mom... MOM, come on, let's go to bed. where's dad now?" Harry says.
"h-hes a..... a... a couple... couple minutes b-beh-hind us.. he will be h-h-here soon.." Veronica says between sniffles.
"Alright well, l-let me get you into bed and I'll talk to him when he gets home, okay mom?"
"Th-thank you honey. I l-love you."
"Goodnight mom." Harry says coldly.
