Chapter Seventeen

We walked the rest of the way in silence. I took a deep breath as we arrived back at the room. I wished that he would talk more about my dad and I wished that I had the courage to ask him more.

But, I didn’t and a part of me hated myself for it.

I’d spent enough time with Teresa that I wished that some of her braveness or even Ava’s aggressiveness would rub off on me, but neither of them was present as we were climbed up the stairs and made it to my room.

As we got to the door he asked, “So, do you want to stay or leave?”

I nearly asked him, Leave to go where? If he knew about my situation, which I knew he did, he knew that I had nowhere to go officially and that this was my new home. Whether I liked it or not.

I shook my head.

“Please speak when spoken to.”

“Stay.”

I hated me more than him for saying that word.

“I see. I have appointments to attend to and then we can sit down and talk during an early dinner.”

I was sure that Mr. Hawk was married, I’d read about it on the Net, or even had a child, yet he seemed to be taking up so much time to spend with me. A little bit too much. I shrugged wondering if he was going to correct me again for not speaking to him. I couldn’t be bothered. I was tired and fed up of the situation. Damned if you don’t and damned if you do!

“Sure....” I knew that there was something else to add to that and finished the sentence with his name, “Mr. Hawk.”

He sighed and then he nodded his head.

I opened and closed the door as fast as I breathed, and it was over before I knew it. I waited for a second, just one, wondering if he would knock on it. Instead I put my ear against the door and breathed with relief as I heard nothing.

Nothing at all.

Which meant that I could leave, I shook my head at the idea of it. Running away, doing things that I shouldn’t do, was something that I did when my mom was alive. The idea of getting caught and doing something out of the ordinary, now, just seemed childish, pointless, as if there were no consequences and the idea that I had no real place to go went through my mind.

Sure, I could move in with Teresa’s parents, but they worked all the time, which meant that they were having it hard with two kids, moving in with them would put a strain on them even if they didn’t say it out loud. The signs were all there.

As for Ava’s parents. They were so free spirited that it would probably drive me insane. It did most of the time, which is why we tended to avoid going inside her house. But that night, it was as if everything that we’d done which was normal suddenly became abnormal and resulted in me losing my mom.
