"Come in!! What happened? Where have you been? Did you keep your promise?" the last question he said in barely a whisper. "1st question�" I said, sitting on the couch, "� will be answered by the last question. 2nd question, I've been in North Carolina. Last question, yes. But it took me until yesterday to follow thru. My mom is in jail, I'm living next door and I have custody of Jimmy." I said, shakily. "How could I do this to my mom? My own mother. I'm horrible! " I thought, as tears sprang to my eyes. Nick gave me a hug and read my mind, "You're not hurting her, you're helping." He said. I nodded my head, I knew he was right. "Mooooom!!" Nick yelled. "Nick, your mouth is by my ear, loud screaming comes from your mouth and goes into my ear. Ouchie...I go deaf" I said. Nick laughed, "Sorry!" Jane entered the room "What, Nick? Oh my gosh, Hailey, is that you?!" she asked, shocked. "Yeah." I said as she gave me a hug.
