I walk outside on the front porch, bend down and pick up the weekly newspaper. I go back inside, walk to my bedroom, plop down on my bed and open the newspaper to page seventeen. I skim over the articles and pictures until I find Ember's comic strip.

There's three sections. The first has a small silhouette of a child standing alone on the side of the road, and the back of a semi truck. The next slide has the silhouette of a bigger child on the side of the road but the semi truck is smaller, like the truck is driving away. The last slide has the girl as a teen and the semi truck a lot smaller.

That's... Sad. I mean, it's good. It's a great drawing but it's just really sad. I didn't know she felt that way. Actually,... I really don't know much about her at all.

I close the paper just as Mom calls out to me. "Scott, your breakfast is done!" I get out of bed and go out to the kitchen.

I sit at the breakfast bar, there's a bowl of yogurt with granola and fruit sitting in front of me. "You ready for your game tonight?" Mom asks while she does the dishes.

I shove a spoonful of the yogurt in my mouth and nod my head. "Yeah," I pause for a second to swallow. "Are you going to be there?"

Mom dries a dish and she puts it to the side. "I'm sorry, son but I have to be at the cafe tonight. I can't afford to close the dinner for the rest of the month." She looks at me with an apologetic look

"No, it's fine. It's just a regular game anyway." I say and wave her off.

"Are you sure?" Mom asks with her brows raised.

"Mom, it's okay. Really." I reassure her.

Mom mumbles 'okay' and continues washing the dishes. I go back to my bedroom, pick up my phone from the charger and text Ayla.
