“Thanks for the lift, you really didn’t have to wait around.” “Are you okay?” “I’m fine, really. It’ll all seem normal pretty soon, I guess.” I highly doubted that. I wanted to live with my dad and not be stuck in the house with the whore that had made this all happen, but it was impossible. My dad didn’t even know if he’d got anywhere to stay, yet. He hadn’t really got any friends and he didn’t work to have any colleagues. His family lived out of the country. If he ended up on the streets I’d never forgive my mum. “Try not to be too harsh on your mum, I’m sure she’s upset, too.” I raised my head and shot her a harsh glare. “Please don’t sympathise with her, I really can’t deal with it right now.” Phoebe opened her mouth to try and argue, even looking to Luke for help, but coming up with nothing. “You could tutor Luke tonight, if you wanted. It might help get your mind off things.” I wanted to snap that she was being ridiculously selfish, but had to admit that she was right.
