Ran around the side of the house!

…ran around the side of the house, pushing her back against the wall. Breathing heavily, Amber waited quietly, hoping her mother wouldn’t look too much in to things. She heard the sliding back door open, followed by the clicking of her moms shoes on the wooden back porch.

“Come on ya old bag, just go back inside.” Amber whispered to herself.

*sniff*

Amber’s brow furrowed, and she carefully peaked her head around the corner to see what she was hearing. Was her mom… crying?

“I can’t do it myself Frank. She just doesn’t listen to me.” Ms. Sullivan said. She was holding Ambers top, and looking towards the sky.

Amber almost never heard her mom talk much about her dad. He’d died when Amber was still in elementary school, though all her memories of him were fond.

On one hand, Amber’s mom is quite distracted, meaning this is the perfect opportunity for her to leave. But is Amber really that heartless?
