Chapter 13 Intentions

*ABBY’s POV*

As we walked by the station. Rain splattered so hard around us that it drew my gaze to the quiet streets in front of me. If we had been a minute late, then we’d be drenched for sure.

I frowned. I'm sure tomorrow will be filled with more problems for me.

As I was lost in my thoughts, Mom gave me a hug all of a sudden.

Startled, I patted her back. "Mom? What’s wrong? Does it still hurt?"

"I'm sorry that you had to go through that."

"Don’t be sorry, it’s not our fault, mom. They had it coming."

Sarah and Gilbert should be thankful that I fought the urge to stab them with a fork. I rolled my eyes to myself.

Mom pulls away from me with a worried expression, "Honey, they are powerful people, you know what they’re capable of."

"It’s fine, mom. I can handle it. Haven’t I always been doing so?"

"I know you can handle it." She sobs, "You grew up well, but I'm still worried. Everyone has their own breaking point. What if you reach yours?"

I don’t know how to answer that.
