I was packing up my makeup I looked at the mirror and saw the necklace that Jack would always ware and I paused then put it I'm my bag
" ok I think I'm good for now "
We walked downstairs and I locked up and we walked across the street. His parents were at work so we sat on the couch suddenly the door opened
" Hunny did you hear that the lune across the street got sent away about time "
" yeah maybe that girl will be sent away to get help too "
" then finally she would leave our Jack alone "
I could hear her heals and his dress shoes click on the floor
" oh, jack I didn't know you were home ... who's this Hunny "
I stood up and turned and her face went white
" hello "
I wanted to say a lot more but I couldn't she looked over at jack and mouthed
" she can talk "
I looked down and said
" your son helped me start talking again... along with the others "
I looked up and she was staring at me and then at jack and mouthed for him to go with them
" no say it, mom "
She didn't say anything
" that's what I thought now she's going to sleep in my room till we unpack the spare room ... guys, I'll see you tomorrow "
They all got up and left and we went upstairs.
At dinner, it was just him, his dad, and me and he didn't talk
" well dad it's been a long day and I'm tired so goodnight "
I followed him
" goodnight Mr.Avery "
He gave me a small smile.
