Jude didn't even want to think about his mother.
"What about you?"
Teegan raised her head up, letting her hair fall back into place where it should be. She looked at the end of the corridor wall biting her lip. So he only had a father. A father he didn't see often. She ignored his question.
"Siblings?" she asked next barely able to spit the word out as she looked down to see Crash! stretched out on her feet.
She brought her hands back up to her face wiping her face clean once again just to make sure there wasn't anything on it in case she decided to turn around...or not. She didn't want to be seen with tear streaks down her face.
