Chapter 0054

Judy’s POV

The house was quiet when I returned home after having dinner at Gavin’s house. It was always quiet these days.

The house felt so empty with my mother hiding away in her room, not a sound to be made. I put my coat on the hook and made my way upstairs. I paused outside of her bedroom door which was down the hall from

my room. There was no light on, and I wasn’t even sure if she would be awake, but I needed to see her. I needed to make sure that she was alright.

I grabbed the door handle and twisted it, pushing the door open gently. The door creaked as it moved, and I winced at how dark and smelly it was. It was clear she hadn’t moved from the bed in a long while.

Taking a deep breath, I turned on the light in her dark room and stepped inside.

“Mom?” I asked, looking around the mess of a room. My eyes landed on her form on the bed and my chest tightened even more.

Panic seized me as I ran towards her bed, not knowing if she was breathing or not. I put my hand on her back and felt for any sign of movement, indicating that she was in fact breathing. When my hand rose and fell, I sighed out of relief.

“Mom?” I said again, this time giving her a gentle shake. “Have you eaten anything at all today?”

I already knew the answer because the food I made for her this morning remained untouched on her nightstand.

She lifted her head and her eyes, unfocused, looked at me.
