Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 120

Cheryl's P.O.V.

I stood up as I watch her get out of the car and collapse in the middle of the oval. Her sobs are loud.Its so audible that even if were meters apart we can still hear them .And with every sob that has escaped from her mouth brings a stab into my heart. And that's when I realize, I was the wrong one here.

Its true, I had disregarded her well, in fact she's suppose to be my first priority. I had missed events that are happening in her life. Events like this. I never knew she was racing, I had no idea. So this is why she always comes home late and is always tired. And if ever I knew about this, I would disagree to it. This is f*cking dangerous.

But why is she being like this. Why is she too affected. I've never seen her breakdown like this before. She's never been a rebel. Maybe I've gone too far.

"Chez, Why don't you go to her babe..And talk or just take her and we'll go home then that's where we will talk." I look at Katy and she looks at us with worried eyes. I sighed and nodded.

I took a deep breath as I walk down the steps and stepped in the oval walking towards my broken daughter and when I got there, I saw her with her arms covering her eyes and the scene rips my heart in two and my chest heavy.

I crouched down and knelt on the grass as I gently tap her leg which caused the sobs to immediately die down as she slowly removed her arms from her face. Her eyes slowly travelled to me making her sit up in an instant as she furiously wipes away the tears. Forcing her cheeks to be dry. And pretending that nothing happened that she's okay and it made a lump in my throat.

"What're you doing here. How did you know I'm here." She sniff and as I stare at her as she sniff and desperately wiping her eyes so the tears won't fall and it made me think that I made her like this. I made her cry again.

"I-It's past twelve and you're not home yet.. I got worried. Joe took us here." She sighed and held her cheeks is as if she's nervous.

"You shouldn't be here. I said I was going home." She looked away and its making me nervous. She's pushing us away still. Why is she pushing us away.

"I don't like the thought of you going home alone in this time of the day."

"I can take care of myself." Her arms snaked around her middle. She always does this most of the time and its breaking my heart. Its like she's the one who's comforting herself. I can give that, I can give her comfort, but why isn't coming to us. What is wrong with our family.

"I'm a big girl now, you shouldn't go and worrying about me all day. I can f*cking take care of myself."

"But you're my baby."

"I'm not a baby anymore mam!" She said loudly taking me by surprise. And it made my chest full of pain. Her eyes sparkle under the moonlight but she just wiped it and stood up immediately. I stood up as she walks away and I run after her. I want to fix this now.

Max's P.O.V.

"Babe-"

"Don't touch me." Her hand dropped from my arm and a frown form on her face. I was scared, angry, sad, lonely.. All my feelings are mixing all up together.

"Maxene, did I do or say something wrong.. Why are you being like this."

"Just go home, I'll be there in the morn-"

"No, I want to fix this now. I won't go home until you come with us..What is wrong tell us.."

"I thought this day would go well but then it turned into a nightmare. The pain came back and this time it was a thousand times worse." I wipe my tears forcefully not letting her know I'm weak. I'm strong, I can handle myself.

"Ba-"

"Do you know how it feels seeing you hold and take care of other children, of other people while me, your real daughter didn't experienced any of that." I watch as her face falls and she looked deep into my eyes.

"Babe, we've gone through this story over and over again. I thought we're done with this." Why does it look like she doesn't even care. I know we've gone through this for the millionth time but I can't help myself. Its not that easy to forget especially when your abandoned for 16 years. She doesn't care, why do I even bother.

"Yeah you're right. Just go home. Its not important." I started walking away towards my car but she stopped me again.

"No please Max, I want to make this right."

"You just said we've talked about this over and over again. I'll be the one to find answers to this burden inside.. Now go home" I was mad at her for not caring about how I feel.For being so insensitve. She's my mother for god's sake.

I climb in the car and stepped on it. That's when the tears fell down. I went out of the stadium running fast. I don't care how fast I'm going, I just want to get out of here. Out of this place.

Author's P.O.V.

As soon as Katy saw Max's car sped out of the stadium, She got on her feet and ran to a hysterical Cheryl while Joe ran out of the stadium and went to the car to chase Max's car.

"Babe, what happened?" Katy asked as she took the brunette in her loving arms as she cries on her shoulder.

"I-I don't kn-know.." She sobbed into her lovers arms. She was confuse, and worried that her daughter won't come back its in the tone of her voice.

"I need to find her.." Cheryl pull away immediately making her stumble but Katy caught her in time. With all the crying and worrying has made her weak and tired but she's not going to give up. She needs to find her daughter. Cause there's something inside her is telling her that Max might not come back anymore.

"Babe, be careful...."

"NO, KATY I NEED TO FIND HER." She yelled in desperafion making Katy's ptears that were daring to come out had fallen from her eyes.

"Babe, please calm down." Katy forcefully grab Cheryl's shoulders holding her still.

"We'll find Max okay. But I'm driving." Cheryl nodded frantically as Katy took her phone out callin Joe.

'He-'

'Joe..' With the tone in Katy's voice Joe already knows what to say.

'I wasn't be able to catch her up..' Katy's heart tighten causing her pain in the chest as she holds a broken Cheryl in her arms looking for hope in her eyes.

'Joe, I need you to come back here and pick us up.'

'I'm on my way'

'Thanks' And with that Katy hung which caused Cheryl to panick.

"What did he said. Where is Max. Where is she."

"Babe, I need you to calm down and breathe for me." Katy said gently, but the next thing she knew Cheryl was having a panick attack making Katy's adrenaline pumping that made her carry Cheryl and run to the bleachers sitting themselves down.

"Baby, please I need you to breathe with me come on. Just relax okay.." Katy was in the verge of tears as she holds Cheryl close to her trying to make her breathing match with hers.

"K-Katy, I-I n-eed to look f-for Max.."

"Ssshhh. I promise we'll look for Max just please baby calm down." Cheryl was slowly getting back to normal as Katy stroked her back gently. It was always her girls' touch that calms her down. And it was always hef girls' touch that can make her feel safe, but sright now, the other touch is missimgand its the touch she's been craving for for the last few weeks up until now
