Confused, I hung up the phone and got out of my car. I realized I had been sitting in my driveway for ten minutes now. I walked up to the door and knocked on it.
“Come in,” said my Mom’s sweet voice.
Thank God. If Mom was in there, Sandy couldn’t try anything.
I walked in and slouched on the couch.
“At war with yourself?” my Mom asked, walking over to me and sitting beside me.
I looked at her, sighing. “Yeah, and I think I’m winning.”
She laughed at that. “Do you wanna talk about it, Colton?”
I looked up at her and thought for a moment. “Yeah. Yeah, Mom, I do. We never talk anymore.”
