mom bawled her eyes out for two days straight.
it was awful.
utterly and devastatingly awful.
she still loved him.
i knew it.
everybody knew it.
i did not like to see her cry. mom was beautiful and delicate.
she looked so young, pure even.
everybody knew she had a heart of gold.
i couldn't understand how dad had the audacity to abandon her--us.
i wondered if luke would leave me now that it's been two weeks and we haven't talked despite his efforts.
i wondered if leo would get annoyed and not want to be my friend now that've been unwillingly avoiding him.
i wondered if i was ever going to have a heart of gold now that it felt like it was dripping in black filthy ink.
