"Text me later." i say wrapping my arms around Paul. He kisses my forehead, then my lips. "call me." he says before getting back in the car. I wave to Danny then walk up the stairs to my moms. i unlock the door. "mom?" i ask. no answer. "ma?" i call again. nothing. i put my bags down and walk to the kitchen where i see a long note.
Maddie,
Josh and I decided to take a small vacation. i dont know when youll be back from new york but youll get this when you do. Josh will take care of my. you have 2000 dollars ontop of the fridge, and i went shopping before i left. Take care of the house while im gone. Grandma will send money when you run out. Feel free to call me, if you ever need anything. i think your old enough to handle this time on your own. But if not. have someone live with you.
Mom.
the paper is wet from my tears. she only just met josh and they already ran away together?! and where is she going so long that 2000 bucks wont be enough untill she gets back?! have somebody live with me?! ARE YOU CRAZY! i dont know if this is her way of saying shes not coming back, or her waqy of saying she doesnt care. either way, i needed to talk to someone. Paul? Danny? were they both sick of spending time with me? i decided to text Paul.
