Breathe
“Mary started fussing over me the moment I walked in the door. Jax smiled and enjoyed it immensely as I assured her that Jessica and I were both fine.“Girl your age havin’ to run her mama to the doctor in the middle of the night ain’t right I tell ya. You’re too young to be sleeping in a waiting room all by yourself.” She turned and pointed her spoon at Jax. “You should have been there. What good are you if you ain’t there when she needs you.”“Ms. Mary, he didn’t know about it either. I didn’t c...all anyone. You can’t blame Jax for anything.”Ms. Mary let out a loud “hmph” and started stirring her pot of cheese grits again. “Well, you should have called him. He would have come. You’re too young to be alone in hospitals. Crazy people out there.”Jax took my plate to the table, and then crooked his finger for me to come sit down. I sat beside him.“I didn’t think about calling anyone. I’ve been taking care of my mother for a long time now. It’s no big deal.”Ms.MoreLess
