131 The call

Lance. 

I wait at the convenience store all night. 

I choose not to believe Mom because he promised me. 

He is going to show up. I trust him with all my heart. he said he will show up. He is going to show up. Fred walks out of the store and looks at me with pity. He has no clue on what is happening, but I see it in his eyes. I look pathetic, sitting on the floor with the luggage next to me. 

''It's getting pretty late, are you waiting for someone?'' he closes the gates of the store with the chains and I watch as he sits down next to me on the cold ground. 

''I'm fine,'' I assure him. 

I am not fine. 

Mom said Ford had another episode. He was fine when he left me, what the fuck does this even mean?
