A Little Down(Fluff Meme)- Cait
Shane had gotten off of the phone with his mom earlier in the day. Apparently she was having some money troubles again. It didn't sound as bad as some of the troubles that they had had in the past but it still had him a little concerned. He had wanted to send her some of his own money he had made working even it wasn't much but she had told him no and that she would take it.

Other than that things had been good with him mom though. But he was still feeling a little down when he headed downstairs to watch some TV to take his mind off of things.
