Night Sky
“I fell asleep with Sky in my bed. I stretch out my arm, but instead of feeling the softness of her skin, I hear the crinkle of paper. My heart drops.
Jay, I’m sorry, Nana needed my help and I didn’t want to wake you.
Sky My chest sinks. I wanted to see her face this morning.
“Knock, knock.” Again, Mom’s voice is louder than her knocking. And there’s really no reason to knock since my bedroom door was open all night.
“Yeah?” I roll onto my back.
“We need to talk.”
I can tell by those four little... words that I’m probably not going to like what she’s about to say. Incredibly, I hold in a groan.
“Come on in.”
She walks slowly into my room and sits on the edge of my bed. Her hands are folded in her lap and she has yet to speak. She’s wearing jeans and her brown hair is pulled into a ponytail. No makeup. It’s nice to see her like this. A little more like she was when Dad was here. She chews on her lower lip. Another sure sign I’m not going to like what she has to say.MoreLess
