Promise
Laughing, I turn the television off and holler. “It’s time to go, Justin!
You’re going to be late for school.”
He darts around the corner, skidding into a wall as he tugs on his
shoes and coat at almost the same time. “I’m coming, Mom!
I sigh and hold my hands up, bracing him so he doesn’t fall to the ground.
“What were you doing? Playing one of those silly games and you lost track
of time?”
He flushes and his big, brown eyes drop to the floor. “I’m sorry, Mom. I
know I’m not supposed to play before school.”
It takes everything in me not to reach out and hug him. But instead I step
back and cross my arms over my chest. “And why don’t we play games
before school, kiddo?”
He rolls his eyes. “Because then I’m always late and lose track of time,”
he mutters, his lower lip pushing out.
“Exactly. Now hurry up and get your things. We are going to be so late.”
Justin grabs his backpack from the couch and slings it over his shoulder.
“Let’s go. I’ve got a test today and I can’t be late for first period.”
“What!” I shriek, grabbing my keys and pushing him out the door. “Why
didn’t you tell me you needed to be early?”
His auburn brow lifts and he eyes me like I’ve lost my mind. “I don’t
need to be early. I just need to be on time.”
“Being early is being on time,” I growl, frustrated when we get in the car
and I hear a click when the key’s turned. Just a damn click.
I know that there’s something going on with the car and that I’m running
out of time to get it fixed before I’m stranded on the side of the road
somewhere, but I just don’t have the money right now.
Justin’s father is a deadbeat that’s never paid a dime for his son. He pretty
much just upped and disappeared after our divorce. I have no idea where he is
and according to the courts, he’s contested the minimum child support he was
ordered to pay and until they take him back to court when they find him
again, since he keeps disappearing, I’m pretty much up shit creek for help.
That’s why this promotion is so important. I need that money to take care
of my baby and all the little things that life keeps throwing at me.
Once again, I turn the key and breathe out a grateful sigh when it finally
starts.
Backing out of the drive, I keep the accelerator at a careful rate of speed
even though I want to zip through this morning commute at about a million
miles per hour.
Fifteen minutes later, I huff out a breath, my deep red hair fluffing up.
Justin waves to me as he hits the school door and I groan, turning the car
around.
