"Thank goodness you're finally awake," said Mom as I just opened my eyes.
I remember being at the cafe and getting hit by Eric's misdirected punch when Ray dodged it. I didn't know who brought me home.
I glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already showing 9:00 PM. That meant I had been unconscious for almost 4 hours.
"Where's Eric, Mom?" I asked while sitting up against the bedhead.
Mom huffed.
"Why are you looking for that guy again? How could he be so rough, even hitting you? Luckily, Ray was there too. I've already kicked him out and told him not to set foot here again."
I shook my head. Ray must have said something untrue to my mom.
"Mom, that's harsh..." I said softly. "You always jump to conclusions so quickly based on your own views just because you think Ray is good."
