Georgia And Mika

Strange Night, Beautiful Day

That night of the livestream Mika and I talked about getting to play music the following day. He made me a hot chocolate (Which was delicious!!) then I put my phone on Do Not disturb to stop the constant buzzing from messages and headed off to bed although I was still concerned about where Mum was and I could tell Mika was too. A couple hours later I suddenly woke up. It was dark outside and not a sound could be heard other than a soft wind. Something seemed wrong in the otherwise relatively peaceful room as if something big was happening and I was missing out on it. No matter how much I tossed and turned I could not settle myself back to sleep. Maybe it was because Mum was still not there.

I soon gave up trying to sleep and rolled over to pick up my phone from the beside table. I looked at the clock on it, 3:31AM. My phone had been on 'do not disturb' for the last couple of hours due to the whole 'Mika has a daughter' situation. I decided to turn off DND. Immediately hundreds of notifications appeared on my screen. Most of them were follow and message requests for Instagram or People sending message requests on Twitter or Tiktok but then I reached The missed calls. All 72 of them and all from Mika. 1 Voicemail from him that made my heart sink.

Got some disturbing texts from your Mum at around 1AM after begging her to tell me where she was, went out looking for her and found her in a terrible state. Had to go to hospital. Please answer your phone X

I immediately pressed call. My eyes were filling with tears and I was shaking. It felt like the phone rang forever as my throat became sore from the panic and my hand shook violently. I regretted putting my phone on DND or even sleeping at all. 

"GEORGIA!" Mika shouted down the phone in a rather thankful tone that suggested he was happy I'd answered the phone."I'm very sorry I didn't tell you about the messages when I saw them, I didn't want to worry you or wake you up, please forgive me" He practically begged me, I could hear the hurt in his voice.

"It's Ok, I understand." I replied. This time I really did understand. The last thing Mika needed whilst getting my Mum to hospital was a sleepy, moody and very angry-at-Mum me. "Can I come to the hospital?" I asked Mika, I knew the rules about visiting Hospital during covid but maybe Mika could help me see her. 

"Unfortunately no, Not even I can get in, covid rules and all, I'm trying my best, staying in a hotel nearby so I can get her the moment shes released. Its Alcohol Poisoning, got hold of some gin in mine and Andy's collection, drank two straight bottles of it, claiming we were stealing you and how dare I suddenly appear from the blue." I could hear he was holding back tears."If you want can send a car to take you to the hotel so we can both meet your mum when she gets out." Mika said.

"Yes please. It isn't the first time she's done it this year, she needs both of us." I managed to choke up. In March, after learning we would be stuck in Italy Mum drank a full bottle of Baileys and was sent to hospital which ended up with my mum being made to stay in Italy till further notice. Now that it had happened again I feared the worst. Either she'd be on deaths door or Italy's social services would take her away.

I Packed some clothes and got dressed, within 10 minutes there was a private van waiting outside the farmhouse for me. I hopped in and it sped off down the narrow tuscany roads. I Shut my eyes and tried to sleep as I knew the next few days would be tough on everybody and This would be my last few moments of peace. I prevented myself from crying as I couldn't bare seeing the driver or anyone seeing me upset and accusing Mika and I of not getting along again.
