The Princess And Her Love

Chapter seven: Broadcast

Your POV

I'm just sat in my room watching a movie on Netflix. Mum brought me some food to eat for breakfast and i haven't touched it. It's just sat there. I know i have to eat but I'm just not hungry enough for it.

Mama walks into my room and sits next to me. She hugs me. I just sit in her arms.

"We have a broadcast to put out later. You can join us if you want." Mama says.

"Thanks mama." I say.

"It's okay hon."

She looks at the plate.

"Not hungry?"

I shake my head. I just lay my head on her shoulder.

"I need you to promise me one thing hon." Mama says.

I look at her.

"Please dont shut down because of this. I know it's not going to be easy for you but i need you to not shut down. You have to stat strong for us okay?"

I nod.

"I promise."

She holds out her pinkie. I lock mine around it and padlock for extra security.

"C'mon. Lemme pick you out an outfit. You dont have to eat that but at least eat something. Okay?"

I nod. She picks me out an outfit that i actually really like.

"What do you think? You wanna wear this one?"

I nod. She smiles and lays it out on my bed. She hugs me and places a kiss on my forehead.

"I love you. Both me and mum love you very very much." Mama says.

"I love you too mama. And tell mum i love her too. I'm gunna get changed."

She nods. She walks out. I get changed and just go downstairs. Mum and mama are layed cuddled on the sofa. Mum is the small spoon. I actually expected her to be the big spoon for some reason.

"So what time is this broadcast thing?" I ask.

They look at me and smile as i sit on the sofa opposite them.

"11am. It's Sunday so hopefully people will watch." Mum says.

"Hopefully." I say.

Eventually, we get to doing the broadcast and i just sit behind them on my phone while they talk. Just playing subway surfers because that game is elite. While i play that, Ariana texts.

Ariana
Hey Y/n!
You wanna hang out today?

I bite my lip a little bit.

Y/n
Not today. I'm not feeling too great
Plus I'm doin a broadcast with mums rn

Ariana
Oh
Well feel better by tomorrow Y/n
Love youuuu

My eyes tear up a little bit. I wipe the tears away and take a deep breath.

Y/n
Love you too

I turn off my phone and look up. I can see in the camera that my eyes still have tears in them. I quickly wipe them away and smile for the camera.

When the broadcast finishes and they turn the camera off, i rush off to my room.

"Y/n?" Mums call after me.

I go into my room and shut the door. I stand against it and take a few deep breaths, my eyes tearing up again.

I slide down the door and just sit on the floor, knees tucked up into my chest. There's a knock at my door.

"Y/n?"

It's mama.

"Can i come in?"

"N-no." I say.

"Okay. I'll stay out here. Talk to me."

"Ariana texted. During the broadcast. Asking if we could hang out. I lied to her but she said love you...."

"Oh, Y/n."

"I dont know what to do." I say.

"Can i come in please?"

I stand up and open the door. Before she even gets to breathe, i hug her. She hugs back and gently rubs my back.

"What do i do?" I ask.

"You have to go in tomorrow. You need to get used to being around her. The longer you're around her, the easier it'll get for you to handle."

I nod and lay my head on her shoulder.

"Love you." Mama says.

"Love you too." I say.

Mum walks up to us and adds to the hug.

"It will get easier for you. I promise." Mum says.

I just nod. I decide to change and just go downstairs. For the first time in ages, we get takeout. It's nice having takeout every now and then. Differs completely to the 5 star meals cooked literally in the kitchen.

We eat shit and watch shit on the TV. Quite normal actually. It's nice to just chill.
