Chapter 5 - Andrew

Me and Adom were sitting at the kitchen table with mother B, while mother was in the kitchen.

"S-so...what happened with you and mother?" I asked.

"Oh...," she looks at her hands and starts twisting a ring on her finger.

"Beatrice?" Adom asked.

"Yes Adom?"

"Is that ring a-" he says pointing at the ring.

Her eyes go wide, looks at the ring and smiles.

"Why, yes it is."

"You and mother were never married?" I asked.

"No Andrew...but when your mother asked me last night, you know, marrying her, I just couldn't think so I told her that-," she takes a deep breath and looks back at us," that I had to think about it."

"And that's why she was upset this morning?" I asked.

"Yes and I came back and told her that I loved her and that I wanted to be with her forever."

Then mother walks in with a tray. She sets the tray down and kisses mother B.

RING!RING!

I look over at Adom, he looks at me then pulls a phone put of his pocket.

"Hello...what?!," he stands up with a look I cant describe," why...he better not...okay I'll be there." he hangs up and looks at me with a sad face.

"I-is everything ok-"

"I'll talk to you later about it but right now I have to go."

"Okay...see you at school."

He kisses the top of my head and walks out of the house. My mother's start to giggle, which makes me roll my eyes and go to my room. The whole time I worried about Adom.
