"no sweetie, don't start crying." your mom caressed your teary face. "you know that i can't deal with your tears." she chuckled.
"i'm sorry, i just-" you spoke out.
"no need to apologize. you're here now, so, you're gonna enjoy the time while it lasts alright?" your mom gave you a few more caresses.
"carefree?"
"yes sweetie, carefree." she chuckled once again, continuing to caress your cheek. you could barely hold in your tears. she appeared to you in your dreams when you needed her most. "so, what has been happening with you?" she asked.
"oh! um..." you stuttered out. you wanted to tell her what happened, but you weren't sure how she would react. sure, this was a dream, but it felt as if it were real.
"i couldn't even watch you these past few days, i'm not sure why.." she mumbled out while picking some flower pedals.
"wait, watch?" you were confused as to why she would 'watch' you. it was probably your brain making things up. in movies, when someone dies, they usually 'watch' over the main character. perhaps, that's what your brain was trying to do to you.
"yep! i think i stopped watching after you were flirting with that sweet girl." you had to look back at your mom two times after she said that. "come on, you know who i'm talking about. she is quite good looking..."
"i-" you couldn't even speak out. accepting defeat, you sigh and lay down on the grass.
"when are you going to confess?" she asked you. your mom has always been like this. always asking who you like and when you're going to ask them out. it wasn't a bad thing, you quite liked it. she had no bad intentions, ever.
"i don't think she likes me back..."
"i say otherwise, but let's talk about what happened with you recently." your mom quickly changed conversations, wanting to know what is up with your discomfort.
✦
"what?! are you kidding me?!" you just finished telling your mom everything that happened. you were in tears while she was clearly angry. "i swear to god, i'm just gonna-" she lifted her hands, and shut her hands quickly.
"i don't know what to do..." your hands and the place surrounding you were starting to fade.
"is it time already?" your mom spoke up, looking around. "i'll continue watching you sweetie, please..stay strong."
