It's us against the world

29 - "you'd be a great mum"

30 minutes pass and I am woken abruptly by someone bursting into my room, full of the most energy (probably only to wake me up).

It's Beth.

"Bloody hell Beth. You could've warned me!"

She laughs "sorry, not sorry. Anyway dinner is ready now, so come down, and be quick."

She leaves the room and I get up quickly and go down for dinner. I sit next to Beth as Leah was sitting the other side of her and I couldn't deal with talking to her right now, not before I am fully refreshed.

I eat up quickly, staying silent as Beth and Leah are talking together. I don't want to speak with them, I cant bring myself to do it.
Everything with Leah is all still too raw for me to face it with her, im still so upset about it.

Once I've finished I take my bowl into the kitchen and start to wash up everything that is there to be washed up.
Luckily, they know not to disturb me so leave me to do my own thing for the night and I wash up without them coming in.

A few tears fell but no one saw them, how could they? They were both to busy doing their own thing in the living room.

I heard them laughing together.

How could Leah be fine about this? How is she managing to be stable?

I finish washing up and run straight up to my room hoping to escape them, unfortunately it wasn't as easy as it should've been.
The living room is directly next to the kitchen so to get upstairs from the kitchen you have to go through the living room.

I run through the living room and up the stairs, still a few tears falling from my face, they would've noticed them, they aren't blind enough to not see them yet.

Whilst on the stairs, I walk up them so I don't trip up them again, Beth gets to me "hey you alright kiddo? I'm always here for you to talk."

I turn around to her and nod, shes a few steps below me so I walk down to the one just above hers and hug her.

She hugs me back, understanding that's all I need.

"Can you ask Leah to come up?" I ask so vulnerably, im shocked how much I have been affected by this situation.

"Of course I will."

She's so kind and caring towards me.

"Thank you Beth. You'd make a great mum." I tell her, muffled from my head in her jumper.

She strokes my head, smiling, "you get some sleep, okay?"

I nod and I let go to walk back to my room.

Beth's great though, shes like my second mum.
I can tell her everything and she still looks after me as if I were her own daughter but also my best friend at the same time.
I think she likes it, shes a great mum to me.

I just want to be alone with my thoughts, though.

I know my thoughts are probably not the best thing to be with right now, but I cant face speaking to Leah, and Beth has done plenty for me already, I don't want to seem to be a burden on her.

Luckily, I know better than my thoughts, its not that bad at the moment, so I don't consider it, but I knew that if earlier my thoughts were visible, it would've happened.

I just shut my eyes, shutting off the world around me, and fall asleep again, holding my stomach as I am still in some slight discomfort but im sure it will pass.

Leah comes in, kisses me on the forehead and smiles at me.

She whispers "goodnight my love, I will never stop loving you."

I smile back, turning to face her, open my eyes to see her beautiful blue ones looking deeply into mine and I reply "goodnight Le. I do still love you."

I pout my lips, intending for a kiss and as soon as she realises I want one, she makes no fuss and kisses me softly on my lips.

"I've missed you." She smiles.
"Me too" I whisper back.

She walks out and into her room and goes to sleep as I do the same.
