The Last Laugh

Chapter 25

***

Sawyer's POV:

That day, I left work earlier to go home. I was tired and wasn't feeling quite well. I'd left a message to my mom for her permission because when I'd gone to see her, she was out for lunch.

I'd looked for Ace to invite him over but apparently he'd gone with the other colleagues to the pizza house.

At around three PM, while I watched TV at home, my mother suddenly appeared.

"Hey, honey." she said happily. She seemed to be in a very good mood. Awkward. I looked at her in wonder.

"Why are you so happy?" I asked.

She looked at me with a broad smile.

"You think I'm happy?"

"Hello?? It's clearly all over your face." I laughed.

"Well, let's just say I'm in a good mood. Where's Heather?"

I frowned.

"She's with that Shirley again." I said, hurt. " Sometimes I feel like she prefers to hang out with Shirley than me."

"Maybe she has her reasons."

"I'm her sister!"

"And I'm her mother but do you see how she behaves with me? I don't know what has happened to your sister. I really don't. She's changed a lot."

"She's still angry with you because of that shit that happened." I folded my arms. Mom scoffed.

"That stupid boy that got missing? Why can't she understand that the past is the past??"

"Ask her."

Mom shook her head.
