What would i do without you?

Chapter 15

BEEP

"uuhhh" i groaned, rolling over to turn my alarm off. i grabbed my phone, checking the time, 12:05. 'Sarah should be home!' i thought. i quickly got out of bed and ran straight downstairs, i've missed her so much, we didn't really get to talk much either because of how busy she was filming.

i ran into the living room to see ripped up wrapping paper all over the floor. 'has she already opened her gifts' i thought. i ran towards sarah and hollands room just to see if they were in bed. "holland?" i shouted. "mom!" no reply.

'maybe they're in the kitchen' i tried to reassure myself. i walked towards the kitchen, just to be met with no one standing there. 'oh' i sighed. i headed back towards living room, walking over the wrapping paper. i checked all of her gifts to see if she had only opened hollands and left mine but no, she's opened them all. i was kinda upset, i really wanted to see her reaction and knowing this was the first birthday we would celebrate as a family, i wanted to make it special.

i slowly got up and headed back towards the kitchen, grabbing the frying pan and pancake ingredients. i mixed the ingredients together and turned on the hob, waiting for it to become hot enough to make the pancakes. "Alexa play sweater weather by the neighbourhood" i shouted. a couple minutes later, i had made a load of pancakes, i decorated them with chocolate syrup and whipped cream, placing the final touch, the candles. i lit the candles and just waited for them to arrive home.

30 minutes later and the candles had completely melted and no one was home. i had text and called sarah multiple times but she didn't answer me. i just wanted to see her, 'i missed her' i thought as i headed back upstairs to bed.

i climbed into the sheets, not needing to get changed as i still had my pyjamas on and closed my eyes, at least there's still the party for tonight...
