Chapter 27

I barely slept last night. My entire mind was focused on what Mother would do and say. I was thinking of what I should do, or say. In this case, I could express how worried I was, but not the way my mind was worrying about the horrid things my family would say.

During the night, I had called Chloe, worried. She was awake after being out with her friends, so thank God for that. Though, Chloe should really fix her sleeping schedule.

"Mother can't say shit, Little one. She's too cautious of you, and she needs to stop. She can't tell you not to have sex when you're married. Of course, you're going to do it! You want kids." Chloe exclaimed, through the phone. Her voice vibrating into the phone that let up to my ear.

"Well, yes; but I'm not married. Nor am I going to have kids at the moment. I'm only seventeen." I put my hand on my forehead, due to stress.

Of course, I knew what Chloe meant, Mother was cautious. I understand that, she wasn't very happy when Louisa found out she was pregnant. I had practically gone behind her back, and done everything she had asked me not to do. I mean, she never said it, but I knew she was thinking it.

"-So she can't always make you feel like you're the one 'betraying' her. You're seventeen. You're going to do things you regret, and things you won't. You might even enjoy-" I cut Chloe off.

"Chlo, I think what I did was wron-"

"Shut the fuck up, and grow up Marie. Don't you dare switch this up and say it's your fault. You're growing up. Face it. You're not six anymore. She can't keep acting like your her little girl because you're not. You're one of her young people she created.  As am I, and Andre."

Chloe and I's conversation ends there. I had become tired, and decided to at least try and get some sleep. I wasn't getting any, though. I couldn't stop thinking about going home and the stress I had on my mind.

And Luke.

Poor Luke, what would I tell him? He's happy on his trip, and me telling him about the whole text incident would smash his heart into pieces, finding out what would happen to not only me, but himself too when we get home.

I wanted some more reassurance; so I called Andre, who answered, thankfully.

"Heya Bear. How ar-"

"Look at my text on the group chat."

"I did. Why do you sound so scared?"

"Because Mother will utterly and completely ban me from seeing Luke."

"Yeah, you'll get used to it. You'll find someone better, trust m-" I cut my brother off by his nonsense.

"No! I don't want to find someone better." I paused, hearing my brother sigh.

"I love him too much to let him go." I whispered under my breathe.

"I- I don't know what to say. Mother did it to me, and I just found someone new. I mean, it could have a different impact on you, but I'm here if you need me."

~~~

I woke up to Luke, putting on his shirt. I remembered he fell asleep without anything on. I did the same, but I put on my robe before calling Chloe and Andre. I fell asleep with my robe on, which was only three hours of sleep.

"You wore your robe to sleep? That's a little silly." Luke mocked the last part in British. I laughed a little before getting up. Without hesitation, I took off my robe and walked into the bathroom, having a shower.

I had a quick shower before throwing on a pair of black ripped jeans with a light grey cropped shirt that criss crossed around my waist. I left my hair curly, and put a little bit of makeup on. I wanted to be casual for lunch.
