I wake up in the nurse's office.
"Savannah, honey, how do you feel?"
" I don't feel good, I have a headache and I just want to go home please?"
"Will she be okay?" Its luke. His voice hits me like a train.
"I'm not letting you go home by yourself. You have a fever of 101°, I'm calling your mother."
"My mom is in London. Book signing." I sigh.
"What about your Dad?" Luke asks. My shoulders tense up., my eyes well up.
"We don't speak about that, Mr..?"
"Hemmings." He says blankly. My eyes are blurry.
"I can drive myself home." I say quietly.
"No." Both Mrs. Johnson and Luke say at the same time.
"I'll drive you home." Luke says.

"This house." I quickly get out of the car.
"Ok.." Luke's voice trails off. "I live right down the street."
"Alright, see ya.." I quickly walk in the door. I watch him walk down the street, kicking every rock and stick. He pulls out a cigarette.
Gross. I think to myself. I take off all of my clothes and draw a warm bath. I'm so tired. I miss mom. Suddenly my phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Hi sweetie! How are you?"
"I have a fever. They sent me home."
"Oh dear. I- I'll call you in tomorrow. Who brought you home?"
"Um.. a friend. Hey do you know if we have mac and cheese?"
"I don't know. Listen.. i have to call you back later."
"Ok bye mo..." click
I turn off the lights and put on music. As i drift into my dreams i hear a loud bang.
