[Етеяиiту]

Her mother sighed,"as long as your happy, but please come home soon, and keep in touch dear"

[mationix]

Nala nodded, forgetting her mother couldn't see her for a moment. "Of course," she said, leaning against the wall, "oh, and mom, could you tell dad that I'm at a friend's house? I dunno how well he'll take the news."

[Етеяиiту]

She smiled,"of course darling, when do you think you can visit?"

[mationix]

She hesitated for a moment, before slowly replying, "Perhaps a couple weeks from now. I don't know when I'll be able to have a break from my work; the barrister there doesn't exactly seem to like me."

[Етеяиiту]

"Well we could find you a job near us if thats what you want"

[mationix]

"No, no that's fine," she hurriedly replied, a little too quickly. "Though thanks for the offer."

[Етеяиiту]

Her mother seemed a bit disappointed,"so, deary, why did you leave?"

[mationix]

She swallowed; she didn't exactly have an answer for that. Why...why had she left? "I...I dont know," she finally admitted weakly.

[Етеяиiту]

She sighed,"is it my fault?"

[mationix]

"What?! Oh no, no, no, no, no," Nala quickly said, "of course not, mom. Why would you ever think so?"

[Етеяиiту]

"Well beacause the police kept asking me if i had done or said something to make you leave"

[mationix]

"Police?" The word was squeezed out, sounding breathless. "Why...why were the police talking to you?" Nala asked slowly.

[Етеяиiту]

"I reported a missing persons of course!"

[mationix]

"I...I see," Nala said, swallowing. She felt heat rise to her cheeks and she shook her head, her eyebrows pressing together. Sheesh...what a mess she had caused...

[Етеяиiту]

"But i'll call the police and tell them you are safe... You are safe right?"

[mationix]

Nala nodded. "Yes, yes," she said, hugging herself, "I'm fine."

[Етеяиiту]

"Good"

[mationix]

Nala leaned against the wall and closed her eyes, a little surprised that she was enjoying this. "So...er...how's your life going?" She finally asked, her voice weak with embarrassment; her social skills for far to none.

[Етеяиiту]

Her mother smiled,"ok honestley, people have been bringing us meals since i was to upset to cook, so i havent had to do that, your father is still working on that stupid old impala 67 he mumbled something about finishing it for someone yesterday but I didnt catch who, but yeah works been fine"

[mationix]

She winced. "Ah...sorry about that," she weakly said, feeling a little guilty. So much had happened while she was gone, life moved on without her it seemed. Though, she wasn't complaining; if she had stayed, she would have guessed her delinquent behavior would've multiplied. Stiffling a laugh, she closed her eyes, and allowed her mother's voice to wash over her. Oh, how Nala missed the sound of her mother.
