My Mother Sent Me A Message That Was Intended For Another person

One day, I got a message from my mom while I was in class. I just read it in my notifications instead of opening it. It said: “Tom has left, come over now.” Tom is my dad’s name. I was shocked! This message clearly wasn’t meant for me. My heart pounded as I considered the possibilities. Was my mom having an affair?

I wrote back asking my mom about the message, but she’d already deleted it from our chat, and she told me it was just a mistake. She was being so shady! I knew she had to be cheating on my dad. I was so angry I could barely breathe. I told the teacher I didn’t feel well and left class. Then I bolted home, determined to find out what was going on. I hid in some bushes by my house where I could see the driveway. I had my camera ready.

I had no idea what I would do once I found out who my mom’s mystery man was. How could I tell my dad? He’d be devastated. Especially since things had been going so well for him recently—he’d just gotten a big promotion at work, and had been walking around whistling, he was so happy. And what would I say to my mom? I wanted to scream at her. Finally, a familiar SUV parked across the street, several houses down. That confused me even further. How did I know that car? Then the driver got out. It was my Uncle Jim!
