As the first rays of sunshine escaped through the little gap between my drapes I slowly began to wake up. I picked up my phone from my nightstand, unconsciously getting disappointed when I didn't see a good morning message from Tom, and grunted. He had tried calling me yesterday night, but when I saw his name light up on my phone I didn't know whether to scream, smile or cry, and I declined. I stepped out of bed putting on my dressing gown and made my way to the kitchen. Luke and my dad had left yesterday morning for a camping trip, as my dad thought Luke spent way too much time on his video games. I couldn't agree more. Dad thought it would be great for Luke to witness the wonderful thing called; nature. Luke didn't agree he needed that, but he had no saying. They would come home by tomorrow and right now I was enjoying a day just to myself. I needed that.
Appreciating the silence I put on the kettle to make a cup of tea, humming a melody.
As the kettle started whistling, a knock on the door shifted my attention from the steaming kettle to the white front door.
"Who's visiting now? I thought I told Harry I was gonna have some me-time today." I thought, getting annoyed at the thought of Harry ruining the peacefulness.
I turned off the kettle and sighed as I headed to the door. Opening it, my eyes met a foreign, yet familiar lady, instead of my curly haired best friend.
"Can I help you?" I questioned hesitantly as the woman started smiling like a crazy.
"Oh look at you! How you've grown." She said tearing up.
"M-mom?" I stuttered. She quietly nodded and pulled me into a hug. I quickly pulled out of the hug, making her frown.
"What are you doing here!?" I said overwhelmed, trying not to get teary.
Seeing my mom after, I don't know how long, made me happy yet very angry. She had just disappeared when I was younger. Dad had always told me they got into a fight and she left and never came back. He also told me she had had a drinking problem the weeks up to her disappearance. I never in my life thought I would see her again, and even though I sometimes missed a mom, I didn't want her back. Nikki had always been there for me and I needed nothing more. But the sight of my own mom.. my real mom.. the sight of her, made me miss her so much, even though I didn't remember much of her and wasn't pleased with her actions.
"I'm here to visit my beautiful all grown daughter." She said, reaching to caress my hair, but I moved.
"And my little baby boy." She said, smiling and searching for Luke behind me. The "my" in that sentence didn't feel right. Did she even know his name?
"His name is Luke, and he's not 'a baby boy' anymore, he's 13. Dad and him are not home right now." I answered cold. I was disgusted by the fact she had left us just after Luke was born. What kind if woman is that?
