CRASH!!

My eyes shot open at the noise that was happening downstairs. I hear the noise again but then I hear my mums scream.

I bolt out of bed like lightening and run down the stairs to see my mum in the kitchen with broken plates and bowls around her and her hands and legs cut and bleeding.

My eyes widened at the scene and as I make my way over to her and as she looked up I knew she was drunk. Her eyes are bloodshot and there are empty vodka bottles on the table.

"Mum. You need to go to bed" I whisper.

This happens too much. Mum would get drunk when she thinks about dad. I hate to see her like this.

"You! It's all your fault! You did this! He could be alive and we could be a normal family but instead his dead and I'm all alone!" She screamed waving her hands around and knocking another plate on the ground.

"Mum. You need to get to bed." I say walking closer to her trying not to step of the broken plates.

"Don't touch me. I was so happy with him! You ruin everything! You the worst child I could ever imagine having!"

Even though I know that's she's drunk, her words still hurt me and I flinch but still walk towards her.

"Mum please let's get you to bed. I'm so sorry about dad but I need you to go to bed"

I grab hold her hand but she rips it out and slaps me across the face. My cheek stings from the impact and my eyes start to water but I then hear my mum start to cry and fall into my arms.

I hold her close to me and carry her to her room.

My mums short and small and that's what my dad loved about her. I got my hight from my dad. I carried her too her room and she was still crying and sobbing into my shoulder.

I placed her on her bed and covered her over. I kissed her forehead.

"I love you. I want you to know that. Even though you put me through hell I still love you mum" I say with a sad smile.

I check the time and see that's it's nearly seven and I know I have to get dressed for school.

As I make way out to the door I hear my mum shift on her bed.

"I love you too sweetheart" she whispers.

My heart stops and my breath hitchers. My mum hasn't said that in years and my chest tightens at her statement.

I walk out the room and cry on my bed with happiness but also sadness then get dressed for school and ready for Ashton.

Oh shit! I kinda forgot about him.

*********

I made my way through the school doors with Mia and we walked over to our lockers that where next to each other.

"So what are you going to do about Ashton?" Mia asked with a smog look.

I sighed before answering "I really thought you would of forgotten." I replied honestly

Mia laughed "forget! I'm so excited. It's gonna be awkward and wired and-"

"Yeah yeah I know just shut up" I interrupted with a smile.

The bell went and Mia when to her period that was the same as Beth's and Daisy's.

I started to make my way to class but I felt someone grab my arm and pull in a door that had mops and cleaning bottles in it.
