Wishing Star [Harry Styles]

10 || Mother

Jesse

I am peacefully reading my book here in the living room, but not until someone in the door suddenly knocks. I took a glance at my silver watch that Louis gave me few months ago as I looked at the time. It's already 9:44pm in the evening.

Why would someone still bother to interrupt my little session in this kind of moment? No one comes here in this time except for my brother and Tyler. But it's definitely not Tyler because I know he'll call me first.

I let out a frustrated sigh and lazily stood up from the three seater couch. I move my way into the door- not caring even if I'm only wearing my pjs. The person outside of the door impatiently knocks again causing me to roll my eyes.

"Can't you wait?!" I yelled as I hurried into the doorway.

I quickly grabbed the door knob in my hands and open it with out any hesitation. My heart started to beat incredibly fast and as if like the whole world has ended when I realized who it was.

"M-mommy?"

She nodded repeatedly as I realized she's also crying. Without any debates, I immediately jump into her warm comfortable hug and melted in there- lingering every moment and the way her skin touches mine again. My insides are aching at her lack of presence and full of sadness, love, and fear. I miss her so much.

"Jessie," She cooed. I miss her sweet and calming voice so much. "Baby. You've grown up so much."

"Mom." I whined, crying more loudly. My sobs are uncontrollable and I kinda felt a bit of relief that I released all of this feelings in just a matter of seconds. I tight my grip into her waist more tighter.

"You've grown up as a very beautiful, kind, and intelligent young lady." She whispered in my ear. "So pure and made by love. You've grown up like a golden flower that shines perfectly and unique. Young and surrounded by love."

Surrounded by love.

"I am so proud of you, honey." She tightened her grip into my shoulder as she also started crying too. This is what I wanted right now. I don't care if Tyler or Louis' not there, but as long as I am in here- inside mom's embrace, I'm happily contented. She has been my only best friend and I love her so much. She can't leave me. She can't leave me again.

I can feel she's already loosening the hug but I shook my head a bit fast and snuggled my face into her neck. I don't want her to leave me. Not now. Not tomorrow. Not in the future.

"Sweety," She chuckled. As much as I didn't want to, I let go and pulled off from her hug- scanning her face one more time. "I will miss you."

"Y-you're already l-leaving?" My voice came out weak and only a whisper.

"Yes. Jesse." She smiles. "Take care of yourself sweetheart. Always listen to your older brother because he knows everything that is good for you, alright?" She whispered as she gave me a sweet peck on my forehead.
