Broken dreams (chim fanfic)

Chapter 34

"Pet?" I hear and open my eyes, the bright light streaming through the curtains

"yeaaaah" I yawn

"can you come shopping with us? I don't wanna go alone"

"sure, what for?"

"Need to get some new clothes for winter" she says and I nod

"ok sound good, when did you wanna leave?"

"In about 2 hours" she says and I climb out of bed

"ok I'll be in the shower"

I take a quick shower and change into black high waisted jeans and a long sleeve shirt that says 'bonjour' with vans and I straighten my hair, and do my makeup.

I head downstairs and mom is ready as well.

I walk over to her and put my hand on her forehead and she furrows her eyebrows "what are you doing?"

"Checking to see if you have a fever from last night.. Yeah you're good"

"Good, you hungry?" She asks and I nod

"a little, I'll make breakfast because we don't need the house burning down"

"what are you getting at? I would burn the house down if I cooked" mom says pretending to be offended

"hey you said it not me" I say and crack 4 eggs in a bowl

"you cheeky little shit" she says and throws an orange at me from the fruit bowl.

I pick it up off the ground and place it back in the bowl

"thats fruit abuse" I say and we both go into hysterics.

I throw a few pieces of toast in the toaster and put the eggs on the plates.

Soon the toast is done so I butter it and put it on the table as well.

"This looks amazing" mom says and I laugh "thanks, but its only eggs and toast not rocket science"

"true" she laughs

--

I put the dishes in the sick while mom cleans off the table.

We quickly clean up the kitchen and put away all the dishes

"do you wanna leave now?"

"Sure" I say and we head to the mall

After a short ride we fianally get to the mall

"Where do you wanna go first?"

"Tescos?"

"Sure"

We walk into tescos and me and mom walk around separately.

That hot guy Shawn from school walks up to me "hey bri"

"hey Shawn, nice to see you"

"you too, who are you here with"

"I came with my mom, she wanted to get winter clothes so I just came too"

"nice, hey erm.. Do you wanna maybe hangout some time?" He blushes and I smile

"sure, here's my number.. Text me sometime" I say writing my number on a piece of paper and handing it to him

"alright I will, bye"

"bye Shawn" I say and i hear moms heals clicking against the pearl white tiles

"who was that?" She asks smirking

"Oh, just a friend"

"aww you like him, You're blushing bri" she says and I hit her shoulder lightly

"maybeee" I say and we get back to shopping.

--

Once we get more than enough clothes we decide to head back before the mall clothes

"how are you not tired" I ask trying to get my feet to move and mom still not fazed by walking 9+ hours.

"That was nothing" she shrugs and I groan

"you're in 6 inch heals and im vans..how?!" I say in shock and she laughs "me feet hurt a little if that counts"

she says and I roll my eyes.

"Lets pay for this and go home already" I say and she laughs. We pay for the endless amount of clothes and leave.

--

We climb in the car with the trunk packed to the limit and I lay across the back seats "finalllly" I groan laying down, Mom laughs and pulls out of the nearly empty parking lot.

We finally get home and I drop the endless amount of bags upstairs in my room.

Mom walks into my room and throws herself onto my bed, I walk over and climb on as well

"are you as tired as I am?"

"Yeah" she says

"Napppp timeeee" I cheer, giggling at my own childish antics

"Yes please" I say and we slip under the covers. I drape my arm over her and she snuggles into my chest, we drift into dreamland peacefully.

I wake up and look at my clock, we have been sleeping for 3 hours. I remember Shawn saying he would text me so I check my phone and smile when I see an unknown number that texted me 10 minutes ago. I add him in my phone as 'shawn😻💘'

S-Shawn m-me

S- hey its Shawn from earlier

B-heeey, whats up?

S-eating a sandwich hbu?

B-just woke up from a nap, the mall made me exhausted

B- yeah why?

S- do you wanna walk to class together?😏❤️

B-yessss!! Sounds amazing

S-awesome, ill see you tommorrow beautiful

B- cant wait💕

I feel mom stir and she sits up

"who are you texting?"

"Shawn" I say trying to surpress a smile

"awee thats to cute, what did he say?"

"Here" I say and hand her my phone with the thread on it. She reads through the convo and hands me the phone back

"thats adorable" she says and turns away from me. I lay back down and put my arm over her and find myself falling asleep again.

Cheryl's pov

Im losing me baby. Why does she have to grow up so fast? Why did have to give her up in the begginning? I could of seen so much more of her life. Now she can drive and she might have a boyfriend. I could been there her whole life and we could of made so many memories together. I've only had her for a short time and soon she will be gone once again.. With her own life, her own kids, her own husband, her own house, her own car. She will be out in the world one day and theres no way to hold her here much longer. I only have three years to make up for fifteen years. Soon she will move into her house and leave us behind.. Just like everyone else. She will have her own responsibilities to take care of. Her own life.

I let the tears flow freely down my tanned cheeks once I know she is asleep.
