#Chapter55

I stood in front of my old home, on my old porch, in my old neighborhood feeling that faint numbness. All I wanted to do is jump back in my car and drive off never for once turning back. Ugh, I better get this over with. I open the door to see the already decorated room, well everywhere flashing with little red and green bulbs, a Christmas tree at the far corner of the room highly decorated, presents surround it.

/"Merry Christmas!!!/" Mom pokes her head from the kitchen fully in the Christmas spirit

wearing Santa aprons. I smile. /"Well Christmas eve but whatever, who cares./" We meet at a distance hugging each other.

/"Hey mom./"

/"Austin. Why do you feel the need to break my heart. No call. No texting. I'm hurt./" She might have said it playfully but the edge in her voice gave her away.
