Chapter 149-157

Next Monday when Christopher goes to school again, Siobhan asks him wheter Dad had hit him and how it happened. But Christopher answers that he can´t remember because he had a blackout. When he gets home he starts to look for his book that his Dad threw away. After he doesn´t find it in the dustbin in the yard he starts to look for it in all the other rooms and finally in his Dads room. There he finds it in a box in the cupboard but he decides to leave it there for now so his father wouldn´t know he took it again. Just when he hears his Dads van pull into the driveway he sees a bunch of letters in the same box which are addressed to him. But because he doesnt have a lot of time he just takes one and puts the box back where it was so his Dad wouldn´t notice anything.
After dinner Christopher goes up to his room and reads the letter. It is addressed to him and signed with "Mum" which really confuses him because the date on the letter is 16.10.97 but at this point his Mom was already dead. In the letter "Mum" says sorry for leaving him and that she has a new job and that she lives in London now with Roger and that she hopes that he isn´t mad at her forever. Christopher can´t really make sense of that and decides to wait till he can go into fathers room again and read the other letters to find out wheter it was really his Mom or somebody sent the letter to a wrong address and meant to send it to another Christopher.
