Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 117

Three days have passed and the Tweedy-Perry are the talk of the town. The rumors and speculations are spreading about Katy and Cheryl's engagement. Some are happy and giddy and some are not happy about it but the truth lies on the little family back at home. Just enjoying each other's company. Well, Almost..

Maxene already has a distant relationship with her parents most likely her Mam. They would talk sometimes but just a few exchange of sentences and then nothing. But it seems that Max is fine with it. Maybe because she's already used to it.

Cheryl and Katy are very busy for their wedding that they don't have a family time anymore. Its only now, they've got a free day. And its only now they realize how distant is Max from them. And it was quite upsetting the couple.

Max's P.O.V.

I'm sat here by the kitchen eating some strawberries and fidgeting with the laptop while my parents are in the front room. I decided to make a distance between our relationship cause I had enough. I understand that they're busy but they don't have time for me anymore. So its best if I stay out of their way and do my thing.

As the days had gone by, I found an interest in drag racing. It seems fun though I haven't tried it yet but I'm dying to. I want to do something in my life and I want it to be drag racing. I don't care how dangerous it can be, and my parents doesn't have to know. I just want something to do in my life.

If I want to start this. I would first learn how to drive. I have basic knowledge on where the controller is or what to step on because of the escapes I've been doing from the orphanage years ago. The problem is, I haven't driven a car for a 100 meters before and I really want to learn. And I just know exactly who can help me.

I shot out of my seat and walked out of the kitchen going towards the front door.

"Babe, where are you going?" I hear Mam asked making me turn to her.

"I'm just wondering where is Joe?"

"He's outside, why?"She gave me a confused look as well as mum and I can't let them know that I have a plan on learning how to drive, I would be stupid if I did that.

"Uhm... No reason." And with that I ran out of the door to find Joe wiping something on the side mirror of the car and turns when he notices me. He smiles as I walk up to him which I return it gladly.

"Hi Max, going somewhere?" I shook my head and he looks at me with confusion making me sigh.

"Yea, Joe.. I really have a huge favor to ask you"

"What is it love?"

"Can you promise not to tell mam or mum or anyone please?"

"Bu-"

"Please Joe, I really need this.." He looks hesitant but eventually gave in making me let out a small squeal and he laughed.

"Alright, what is it anyway?"

"Can you teach me how to drive"

"Maxene your parents will kill me."

"Wait, they don't have to know. Please.." He let out a sigh and took a glance at the house before looking at me. It is a big favor, I know and its impossible for my parents to not know. Maybe I'm asking for too much.

"Alright, Joe... It's okay you don't have to do it." I sighed and turn to walk away.

"Wait!" My face lit up as I turn to Joe who has a small smile on his face.

"Alright, I'll do it. But you have to promise to listen carefully to me so you will learn fast and we'll not have problems in the future."

"I promise" I winked at him making him chuckle. I let out a sigh of relief as I gave him a proper smile.

"Thanks"

Author's P.O.V.

Cheryl lies in bed wide awake staring at the ceiling with a lump in her throat. Yes, she noticed the distance between the relationship between her and her daughter and every night, when she's sure that everyone's asleep, she would shed a few tears cause its hurting her deep inside.

She wants their relationship before. When Max would stick by Cheryl's side every time. When she would get some tight hugs and kisses when she gets home. When she would always sleep in their room almost every night and other more. She misses all that.

Max doesn't seem to mind those little things anymore. Max and her can't even have a proper conversation like before. Just a few smiles and small greetings.This started they were at the hospital, when Cheryl,little by little, felt the change in her daughter.

Her mind was going to the idea that maybe this is her fault. She made her like that. She pushed her further away from her and now, she can't seem to reach her again. Max continued the path away from her mother and Cheryl doesn't know how to bring her back. She doesn't know where to start.

A teardrop fell and she wiped it away immediately biting her bottom lip to avoid a sob to escape from her mouth. She was hurt and no one knows that, not even Katy. Its like she lost her daughter again.All she has is the memories that are kept in her phone and every night she would scan through her gallery and look at Max's photos and sometimes she would watch videos of her daughter.

-Video-

"Maxy made us breakfast" Cheryl whispered making Max look up with a smile on her face. Cheryl is taking a video of Max as they both eat their pancakes which was made by Maxene.

"Babe, why'd you made us breakfast?" Cheryl asked cheekily making Max giggle as she chew on her food and swallow before answering.

"Cause I love you, you cheeky cow" Cheryl dramatically gasp making Max laugh.

"Mam what is this for anyway?"

"Nothing, I just want to." Max shrugged as she continue with her food.

"Babe, you know you are my personal chef."

"Ha! mam you've gone bonkers."

"No I haven't."

"Mmm" Cheryl raised her brows at her making Max burst out in giggles making Cheryl melt.

"I love this girl." She whispers

As the screen goes blank Cheryl's tears came rolling down her face. She missed her daughter so badly. And she doesn't know when or where will she be able to hug and kiss her like before...For the mean time, she still needs to fake a smile and pretend that she's alright.
