Going Dark (2013)
“We had an apartment now. Just a little place, with hardly any furniture, but at least the family was together again.
“Finish your cereal,” Mama told me as I was rushing through my meal. “You’re still healing.”
I didn’t know what Froot Loops were going to do to help my broken nose, or the never-ending bruises under my eyes, but I tried to eat anyway.
I must have lost at least five pounds since the car accident. I didn’t know if it was the concussion or the fever, but I always felt like I was on ...the verge of throwing up. Of course, all of me felt like something wasn’t right—it wasn’t just my stomach.
Mama put her hand on my forehead and then told me to take my temperature.
“I just drank milk,” I said. “I think I’m supposed to wait.”
“Take your temperature. You’ll be late for the bus.”
I put the thermometer under my tongue and stood up from the table. My backpack was waiting on the counter, and I pulled it on as my brothers scrambled around me.
