Chapter 30

Tate

Journey is bringing dad home today. Between her and I we put our money together so I could pick up some groceries for the house. The doctor said his cholesterol is through the roof, and is probably due to bad eating habits. I already lost one parent, I'm seeing to it that this one stays around for a bit longer. Looking through dad's fridge, there was nothing but soda and TV dinners. The cabinets weren't any better, they were packed with chips and jerky. I had to throw most of everything away.

Chloe came shopping with me, wanting to catch up on things. I know she's going to ask about Camden, that's why I've been avoiding her. It's complicated.

"He likes sandwiches doesn't he?" Chloe asks, holding up deli meat and lettuce.

I shrug. "I'm not sure, he used to."

She gives a ‘whatever' look and tosses them in the cart.

"I think as long as you stay away from deep fried stuff, and things loaded in fat and sugar, you'll be helping him," she informs.
