Chapter 233-The end

The next morning Christophers Mom calls her office and takes a Compassionate Leave so she can take him shopping but he doesn´t like it in the bus and starts screaming and rolling around on the floor so she has to take him back home. Then she leaves again alone to get him some new clothes and when she gets back Christopher tells her that he has to get back to Swindon because he has to take his A-Levels math test. His Mom tells him that that might be impossible. Afterwards Christopher goes out on the balcony to take look at the stars but he can´t see any so he goes to bed. But he can´t sleep so he gets up at night to walk around a little bit outside of the house. After a while he hears his Mom running down the street calling his name desperately so he comes out of the place he was hiding and promises her not to ever leave the appartement again on his own.
The next day his Mom gets a call from her office and they tell her that she is fired and that they already have a new woman for the job. So she gets really upset and when Christopher reminds her of his A-Level test she tells him that it won´t be possible and that there is too much stuff on her mind already. So she calls the school to get it postponed which really saddens Christopher and makes him feel bad for the next days because he was so excited about taking the test. In a following night Mr Shears comes into his room at night drunk and really mad at Christopher and says weird stuff until his Mom pulls him out the room.
The next morning his Mom tells him that they were going back to Swindon and he has to pack his stuff. So Christopher gets really excited because he thinks he can still take his A-Levels. They drive back to Swindon and wait in his Dads house until he comes home. Chris´s Mom then explains the situation to him and he leaves the house to live with Rhodri (his work colleague) until they have found a place to live. The next day they drive to the school to find out whether he could still take his A-Levels and Siobhan tells them that it would still be possible so Christopher decides to take them even though he is hungry and hasn´t slept a lot the last time.
So the following three days he takes his test and on the last day his Dad comes to the house to talk to him but he still doesn´t answer a lot because he is still kind of scared of him.
His Mom then soon gets a job and they move into another appartement. But he has to be at his Dads house everyday from 3:49 till 5:30 when his Mom is at work which he doesn´t like. Also Toby died because he was pretty old for a rat and Christopher burries it. One time he has to be at his Dad´s again his dad asks him whether they could talk again even it were just a couple of minutes everyday and to show him that he can trust him again he presents him a little dog. That really makes Christopher happy and on the same day he also gets his A-Level results: An A grade which is the best you can get. He now plans on taking Further Maths and the Physics tests next year and then go to university with his book and Sandy (thats´s how he called his little dog) and become a scientist. And he knows that he can make it becuase he went to London on his own and found his Mom and he found out who killed Wellington and he wrote a book!
