Chapter 15

  She sighs.

  "And your shift's about to end. Go home." I tell her but gasped as soon as I remembered, "Speaking of home, I need to go pick up my son and drive him to school. Gotta go Lettie. Bye."

  "Take care Miranda!"

  I walked out of the room and rushed to the pantry to grab my things then rapidly ran to the parking lot. When I got inside my car, I drove to Vivian's to pick my son up. I was about to get to her house, Ben was all ready out when I marched my way to the front door.

  "Mommy!" He chimes and ran towards me.

  I opened my arms for him and hugged him. I kiss his hair and squat down in front of him. "Didn't mommy tell you not to hug me when I come from a night shift?" I tell him.

  He pouts. "Sorry. I just missed you. I was so scared last night. You weren't here when I woke up."

  "I'm sorry sweetheart. Mommy was just busy at the hospital last night. But are you ready for school?"
