"I'll watch him. Don't worry about anything." I smiled and rubbed her back gently. "I'm going to go grab some clothes and stuff from mine. I won't be long." I turned and practically ran to my house, trying to be as quick as I could.
My mom was ironing in the lounge. "Hey, Mom. I'm staying with Angel tonight," I informed her as I breezed past without waiting for an answer. I shoved fresh clothes and my school books into a bag, before heading back out to see my mom. I hadn't seen her since Friday morning when I came out of my room, pretending I'd stayed the night here as usual.
"How are you and Amber getting on?" she asked, grinning happily.
I smiled, thinking about just how great we were getting on before all of this happened an hour ago. "Awesome. Really awesome," I admitted.
She beamed at me happily. "You two are being careful, right?" she asked, looking at me warningly.
